hey its me edmaster2. its been about a year since i was last updated this. The reason why i remade this chapter was i was trying to go to sleep and couldn't this song the worm and the bird kept repeating in my mind and my train of thought lead me to rethinking how i should of wrote this chapter. Well the next morning during a break between finals i decided to start writing this then I hit a roadblock and decided not to continue rewriting the chapter. Then I got home and playing music on you tube and decided to put on Justin Timberlake mirrors and inspiration struck and my writers block disappeared. SO thank you Justin. So i hope you guys like this new version of chapter 1 but besides that its the same plot. I might rewrite more of the chapters as time goes on and or continue where the story left of but yeah whatever enjoy.


I was jealous seeing Jade kissing the boy I like for Sikowits' new play. I mean I get it's a kissing scene I can live through it but she was making it seem like an extreme make out session. I wanted to shout out to Jade let the boy breathe you crazy sadistic witch. Somehow I managed not to yell it out.

It was bad enough he couldn't tell between a fake kiss and a real kiss. Which Jade was destroying the borders separating the two right now. The two were rehearsing for Sikowits new play.

Finally Sikowits must have woken up from one of his visions and realized the two had been stuck together going on five minutes. "Hey that's enough you two" he called out to Jade and Robbie. Jade finally let Robbie go and he came out wheezing gulping in the fresh air; I would also recommend some mouth wash but decided not to say anything.

Beck also seemed to be angry with Jade's tactic and Sikowits delayed intervention but seemed to be keeping it in the inside.

After a few moments to let Robbie catch his breath they resumed the scene where Robbie's character makes his final goodbye speech and heads out to his heart surgery which has a fifty chance of killing him.

I watched with rapt fascination and imagined he was speaking to me instead of Jade. His voice sounded petrified but determined and the words came out smoothly even when though he was stuttering his lines. A feat even I and Beck had trouble with.

Ever since he won that Hambone competition against Jarod his confidence had grown as well the less appearance of Rex on his left hand which I later found really smooth when he helped me up after I fell down the stairs.

I'm pretty sure you're wondering when I began to liking romantically well it started when I started spending more time with him when I was training him for hambone showdown with Jarod. After that I found myself hanging out with him more and soon I realized I was falling in love with him. Sadly Jade also found out I was falling in love with him but the worse part was when Jade also admitted she like Robbie.

So in a way to make peace instead of duking out was to let Robbie decide who he liked better but not letting on that we liked him. At first I was resistant to the idea but agreed seeing it as it was the best way. So that was the deal.

Finally the bell rung and everyone stopped working on their set work and rushed out of the black box theatre. I looked around and noticed I was the last one still in the room. I quickly grabbed my bag and rushed out.

I scanned the hallway before I noticed an afro stick out of the crowds. I try to slip past the other students that littered the hallways. Maybe its just me but the hallway seemed to be much more crowded than usual.

Finally after a few "excuse me" "sorry" and "get out of my way" I made it to Robbie's side.

"Hey Rob"

He gave me a half smile "hey ready for your singing project" he asked.

"I'm actually pretty nervous" I admitted knowing my song was a confession of my love to Robbie.

"Tori Vega, nervous I don't believe it I think you'll do great like you always do" he praised giving me a full view of his white teeth as he smiled. The praise made my heart race even faster.

We both entered Mr. Locke's class and sat together.

"What about you" I asked taking my seat and giving him my full attention.

"Excited" he said and then bell rung as Mr. Locke closed the classroom door.

"Good morning class hope you guys are ready" he said settling himself in his desk, "I'll randomly pick a student to start singing their original song that they created" giving some students a look as he said those last few words. He grabbed a paper and sighed, "Robbie Shapiro". Everyone groaned expecting a lame ass song but not me. I was excited to see what he wrote since I overheard 'I think your swell'.

Robbie gave me a brief smile as he grabbed his guitar and headed to the front of the room.

He took a deep breath and waited a few seconds as he set up his musical sheets.

"Any day now Shapiro" exclaimed the teacher wanting to hear Robbie's stupid song and get it over with. I wanted to yell at the teacher to calm his tits and freaking wait but thank god for my self-control. Robbie looked at the teacher and faced the class.

Our eyes met and a more confident smile spread across his lips and began strumming his guitar.

'If you're reading this then that means that I am dead

What was the last thing that you told me?

The night is over but I still have a place to go

No one else but I will be there

Walking by myself with a funeral in my head

I hope you're happy what you're doing

You know how that they say

You can't help but love the dead

That's exactly where I'm heading

And I can make you love me

And I can make you love me

You wanna fight fight fight fight fire with fire

You're gonna burn down

Youre gonna fall in love with my world full of lies

You're gonna hate the way you left me behind

And I can make you love me

And I can make you love me

And I can make you love me

And I can make you love me'

The whole room was silent. It wasn't a normal song the one that the kids of Hollywood arts would write but it was a good one. Maybe Robbie still liked Cat and this was a song about her rejecting him and still liked her. As the thought passed through my head my stomach began to knot itself as everyone started clapping almost as if the whole class was trying to make her feel worse worrying about her hurt feelings instead of applauding Robbie for his hard work.

Robbie nervous from the sudden optimistic praise quickly returned to his seat.

"Well what'd you think?" he asked. I gave him my most encouraging smile as my stomach twisted itself some more as if trying to make me tell the truth.

Soon Mr. Locke called for other students to come to the front and sing their songs. But I never truly heard one as my mind was still focus on the thought that Robbie still liked Cat. Then I remembered what my mom told me what true love was when I had asked her when I was a little girl.

"You know you love a boy when he smiles even if it's to another woman your happy for him" her mom had explained.

I looked over at Robbie who still had a small smile on his face. Even if he did decide to be with cat it would be better than him being with jade. And I can live with that. A smile spread across my face as I realized that but it didn't mean I was going to just hand Robbie over to her.

Mr. Locke finally called my name and I began heading to the front until I felt a hand grab my arm. It was Robbie's hand his soft left hand.

"Good luck Vega" he said and let go of my arm. A warm feeling began to spread through my entire body.

I turned to face the class but my eyes instinctly fell on my Robbie. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. I decided I would sing another song. A song that I wrote when I first realized my feelings for Robbie and felt scared he wouldn't accept them.

'If you'll be my star

I'll be your sky

You can hide underneath me and come out at night

When I turn jet black

And you show off your light

I live to let you shine

I live to let you shine

But you can skyrocket away from me

And never come back if you find another galaxy

Far from here with more room to fly

Just leave me your stardust to remember you by

If you'll be my boat

I'll be your sea

A depth of pure blue just to probe curiosity

Ebbing and flowing

And pushed by a breeze

I live to make you free

I live to make you free

But you can set sail to the west if you want to

And pass the horizon, 'til I can't even see you

Far from here

Where the beaches are wide, just leave me your wake to remember you by

If you'll be my star, I'll be your sky

You can hide underneath me and come out at night

When I turn jet black, and you show off your light

I live to let you shine

I live to let you shine

But you can skyrocket away from me

And never come back if you find another galaxy

Far from here with more room to fly

Just leave me your stardust to remember you by

Stardust to remember you by

When I finished singing there was a beat of silence and then I heard yelling my name. Then everyone started to clap and cheer my name.
