Silently, we make our way back towards the t car.
Several hours later, we are all finally ready for the party. Cyborg having called limos, we wait patiently outside, until, finally, we see the luxurious long black vehicles. Before I can, Robin opens the door for Starfire and i, and we hop in.
Taking in the interior, I cant help thinking to myself " What a life this would be if I were famous"
Looking out the window, I watch the buildings pass quickly. Finally, we pull up outside of a large resort. We are escorted to a building, and the door is opened to reveal the ultimate party venue. Lights, seats, buffet tables, a dance floor, and the largest stage I've ever seen. We go inside, and are immediately swamped by fans. After being at the party for several minutes, we finally notice something. The lack of entertainment. I make my way through the large crowds of people, battling to get to the dj booth. Eventually I get there, met by a dj with a frustrated look on his face.
"Was there supposed to be live entertainment?" I ask
" Yeah, 7th Harmony... Apparently they were cancelled though."
" Raven could always singing..." A voice from behind me echoes.
Robin. Crap, he must have heard e singing in room this morning.
" Can you sing?" The DJ asks.
" I think so..." I say, trying not to to sound too modest.
" Feel free!" He says.
I weave my way through the crowds again, this time heading for the stage. Climbing the steps, I am greeted by over 200 sets of eyes staring at me. Plastering a grin on my face, I reach for the microphone.
" Hey guys... The live entertainment couldnt make it tonight, so your stuck with me!"
Frantically trying to think of something everyone will know, I make eye contact with the DJ. He mouths " Call Me Maybe"
Of course. I hear the music start around me.
I threw a wish in the well,
Don't ask me, I'll never tell
I looked to you as it fell,
And now you're in my way
I'd trade my soul for a wish,
Pennies and dimes for a kiss
I wasn't looking for this,
But now you're in my way
Your stare was holdin',
Ripped jeans, skin was showin'
Hot night, wind was blowin'
Where you think you're going, baby?
Hey, I just met you,
And this is crazy,
But here's my number,
So call me, maybe?
It's hard to look right,
At you baby,
But here's my number,
So call me, maybe?
Hey, I just met you,
And this is crazy,
But here's my number,
So call me, maybe?
And all the other boys,
Try to chase me,
But here's my number,
So call me, maybe?
You took your time with the call,
I took no time with the fall
You gave me nothing at all,
But still, you're in my way
I beg, and borrow and steal
Have foresight and it's real
I didn't know I would feel it,
But it's in my way
Your stare was holdin',
Ripped jeans, skin was showin'
Hot night, wind was blowin'
Where you think you're going, baby?
Hey, I just met you,
And this is crazy,
But here's my number,
So call me, maybe?
It's hard to look right,
At you baby,
But here's my number,
So call me, maybe?
Hey, I just met you,
And this is crazy,
But here's my number,
So call me, maybe?
And all the other boys,
Try to chase me,
But here's my number,
So call me, maybe?
Before you came into my life
I missed you so bad
I missed you so bad
I missed you so, so bad
Before you came into my life
I missed you so bad
And you should know that
I missed you so, so bad
It's hard to look right,
At you baby,
But here's my number,
So call me, maybe?
Hey, I just met you,
And this is crazy,
But here's my number,
So call me, maybe?
And all the other boys,
Try to chase me,
But here's my number,
So call me, maybe?
Before you came into my life
I missed you so bad
I missed you so bad
I missed you so, so bad
Before you came into my life
I missed you so bad
And you should know that
So call me, maybe?
Applause circulates around me. The few people that were sitting down, were now well and truly on their feet. Several people were shouting for more, and unsure of what to do, I shout "ANY REQUESTS"
Somewhere from the back of the room, I hear somebody shout "GIRLFRIEND"
Smiling, the DJ starts the music again. Taking a deep breath in, i begin to sing.
Hey hey, you you, I don't like your girlfriend
No way, no way, I think you need a new one
Hey hey, you you, I could be your girlfriend
Hey hey, you you, I know that you like me
No way, no way, you know it's not a secret
Hey hey, you you, I want to be your girlfriend
You're so fine, I want you mine, you're so delicious
I think about you all the time, you're so addictive
Don't you know what I can do to make you feel alright?
Don't pretend, I think you know I'm damn precious
And hell yeah I'm the mother fucking princess
I can tell you like me too and you know I'm right
She's like so whatever
You can do so much better
I think we should get together now
And that's what everyone's talking about
Hey hey, you you, I don't like your girlfriend
No way no way, I think you need a new one
Hey hey, you you, I could be your girlfriend
Hey hey, you you, I know that you like me
No way, no way, you know it's not a secret
Hey hey, you you, I want to be your girlfriend
I can see the way, I see the way you look at me
And even when you look away I know you think of me
I know you talk about me all the time again and again
So come over here and tell me what I wanna hear
Better yet, make your girlfriend disappear
I don't wanna hear you say her name ever again
'Cause she's like so whatever
And you can do so much better
I think we should get together now
And that's what everyone's talking about
Hey hey, you you, I don't like your girlfriend
No way, no way, I think you need a new one
Hey hey, you you, I could be your girlfriend
Hey hey, you you, I know that you like me
No way, no way, you know it's not a secret
Hey hey, you you, I want to be your girlfriend
In a second you'll be wrapped around my finger
'Cause I can, 'cause I can do it better
There's no other, so when's it gonna sink in?
She's so stupid, what the hell were you thinking?
In a second you'll be wrapped around my finger
'Cause I can, 'cause I can do it better
There's no other, so when's it gonna sink in?
She's so stupid, what the hell were you thinking?
Hey hey, you you, I don't like your girlfriend
No way, no way, I think you need a new one
Hey hey, you you, I could be your girlfriend
(No way, no way)
Hey hey, you you, I know that you like me
No way, no way, you know it's not a secret
Hey hey, you you, I want to be your girlfriend
(No way, no way)
Hey hey, you you, I don't like your girlfriend
No way, no way, I think you need a new one
Hey hey, you you, I could be your girlfriend
(No way, no way)
Hey hey, you you, I know that you like me
No way, no way, you know it's not a secret
Hey hey, you you, I want to be your girlfriend
(No way, no way, hey hey!)
Taking a deep breath in for the second time that night, I already know what song im doing for my finale. Realising I could message the DJ telepathically, I do so, and he smiles as he discovers my song choice.
Oh, sweetheart put the bottle down
You've got too much talent
I see you through those bloodshot eyes
There's a cure, you've found it
Slow motion sparks, you've caught that chill
Now don't deny it
But boys will be boys, oh, yes they will
They don't wanna define it
Just give up the game and get into me
If you're looking for thrills then cold feet
Oh, no I do not hook up, up I go slow
So if you want me I don't come cheap
Keep your hand in my hand
And your heart on your sleeve
Oh, no I do not hook up, up I fall deep
'Cause the more that you try
The harder I'll fight
To say goodnight
I can't cook, no, but I can clean
Up the mess she left
Lay your head down and feel the beat
As I kiss your forehead
This may not last but this is now
So love the one you're with
You wanna chase but you're chasing your tail
A quick fix won't ever get you well
Oh, no I do not hook up, up I go slow
So if you want me I don't come cheap
Keep your hand in my hand
And your heart on your sleeve
Oh, no I do not hook up, up I fall deep
'Cause the more that you try
The harder I'll fight
To say
'Cause I feel the distance between us
Could be over with the snap of your finger, oh, no
Oh, no I do not hook up, up I go slow
So if you want me I don't come cheap
Keep your hand in my hand
And your heart on your sleeve
Oh, no I do not hook up, up I fall deep
'Cause the more that you try
The harder I'll fight
To say
'Cause the more that you try
The harder I'll fight
To say goodnight
Oh, sweetheart put the bottle down
'Cause you don't wanna miss out
I finish my final song, not noticing a man come and stand beside me.
He politely taps me on the shoulder. Turning around, he starts talking.
"Miss Raven Roth, I believe?" The man questions.
" Sure is" I reply
"I am Felix King, of Gem Records, and after hearing your performance tonight, I would like to offer you a record deal"
