Dare to Dream
Aj sat next to JoJo in silence. Braidon sat on JoJo's other side,"Dude,who was that girl chasing you?"Braidon asked,"Aj, She's my gir...She's a friend of mine."JoJo whispered."Is she single?"Aj heard this and her eyes grew wide,along with JoJo's. Aj looked over to Braidon who was making kissy faces to her. JoJo started to freak out,"Oh,okay...How about you don't do that...not to her."JoJo ordered."oooh, you like her don't you?"Braidon teased,"More than you think."Aj coughed."Sorry, what was that."Braidon said,"Oh nothing."Aj looked away quickly. Justine rolled her eyes. As did Savannah."You see it too, don't you?"Savannah whispered to Justine."Yup."Justine whispered back. Melanie sat behind Aj. They all just sat there because the music teacher was scrambling around for some papers. Aj leaned over to JoJo,"What do you think she's looking for?"Aj questioned."No clue, she might be looking for some detention papers. Just so she's prepared for Savannah."JoJo laughed."HEY!!" Savannah yelled at him."What? you know it's true."JoJo said. Savannah was about to protest,"You're probably right."Savannah gave up the fight.
Mrs.Sanfordoniolin(Mrs.Sanford for short.) Had found the papers she was looking for. She walked to the front of the classroom and announced,"I have some papers that I would like you all to take home with you. It explains a contest that involves our school, along with many. The point of the contest is, you make your own music peice. It can be any genre. If you sing, write a song, if you play an instrument, make up some notes and put them down on sheet music. But if you write a song you are required to sing or play it. You can make a singing group, or a band. But you have to have it finished by the beginning of November. So all of you get to work."Mrs.Sanford said with joy as she passed out the papers. Aj's face lit up. AJ looked back to Savannah and Justine with puppy dog eyes.(You see, even though Aj is in a band, she used to be in a singing group with Savannah,Justine and her other friend Erin from the south end, But they decided to drop it. Now that Aj's heard about the contest, she wants it all back together again,...but who will be their fourth??) Both Justine and Savannah rolled their eyes. Aj got a pouty face and mouthed,"Why not?". Savannah mouthed,"Because."Aj mouthed one more thing,"You're so mean." And they were done with the conversation. Aj looked over to JoJo who had the same look she did. JoJo looked over to Aj and she had puppy dog eyes towards him. They always worked on him."It's not gonna work this time...it won't."JoJo resisted.He's about to give in, Aj thought as she pushed out her bottom lip."Fine."He finally said."Yays!!"Aj yelled as she wrapped her arms around him in a tight hug. He absolutly DISPISED hugs, but since he started going out with Aj, he's gotten used to it."So you're going to be in the contest?"Braidon asked JoJo."Uh yeah. You?"JoJo asked wondering why Braidon was getting into his buisness."Nah. Looks like you've taken sweet face over there, So I guess I won't even bother."Braidon looked over to Aj and his face flushed."Okaaaay."JoJo hesitated, feeling giulty,"Maybe you can be in it with...us."JoJo regretted saying that. Braidon's face lit up. However, Aj's did not. She just rolled her eyes and turned back to Savannah and Justine and mouthed,"Help me!". They both just pretended they were crying and mouthed,"BOO HOO!" She sent them an evil glare,"I hate you!"She whispered. That cought Melanie's attention,"Me?"She said worried."Oh,...heheh, no."Aj said putting on a fake smile,"I'm talking about Savannah."She added,"Oh good, I thought you were mad at me."Melanie said releaved,"Me? No, just a moment I had. I always those moments. Most of the time, I go off on JoJo, but you were closer, My bad."Aj rambled on."Can I tell you a secret, and trust you NOT to tell anyone?"Aj asked Melanie as she pulled her towards herself."Uh,...sure."Melanie said scared for her life. Before Aj could say anything, JoJo pulled her back,"Don't even think about it."He said. Aj pouted,"why not."She whispered."Just DON'T."He ordered."Fine."Aj gave in. She turned back to Melanie,"Never mind. JoJo is being stuborn and won't let me."Aj pointed out."You don't even need to worry about it! I already know everything."Melanie said happily,"You do?"Aj and JoJo said worried."Yeah ofcourse,It's soooo obvious. You like him, and you were getting jealous that I asked."Melanie said feeling proud with herself,"Woah there Ms. Missy, I don't get jealous. And I don't like him, He's not a boy."Aj laughed."Thanks."JoJo said happily. Melanie laughed."No problem buddy."Aj said happily.(Remember the discussion they had in the last story? Yup, they're bringing it up.) Melanie couldn't stop laughing,that is, until she saw Aj's necklace. JoJo had given her that necklace at the end of summer. It had a heart charm that said,"A.JXJ.J". It was carved in the gold perfessionally, but Aj loved it like JoJo did it himself. It was hard to see."Hey, what does your necklace say?"Melanie asked."What neckla..."Aj stopped talking when she felt the necklace on her neck. I meant to take it off, She thought, worried."N-n-nothing, I-i-it doesn't say anything." Aj stuttered as she elbowed JoJo. He turned to her,"Ow."He said as he held his arm. Aj pointed towards her necklace,"I thought you were gonna take it off."JoJo whispered."I thought I was,too."She whispered back,"I guess I just forgot, you know I never take it off."She added. JoJo blushed but managed to say,"I know.".
Mrs.Sanford was struggling to aggust her glasses when she said,"I won't be here on the 23rd and there will be a new substitute.He has a large musical background but is new to teaching music, So be nice."Mrs.Sanford ordered."You know I will."Aj shouted sarcastically."Alright, Aj."Mrs.Sanford giggled."We all know you will,...wink...wink."JoJo said as he flicked her forehead. Aj squinted her eyes and turned towards JoJo."I know where you live,I've lived there."Aj whispered,"Sleep with one eye open."She added."You two certainly like to fight, don't you?"Braidon pointed out."It's not just fighting..."Savannah said to Braidon,"Yeah, there's wrestling,yelling,pouncing,pushing,tackling,punching,kicking,pulling hair,pinning eachother down,...should I continue the list?"Justine added."No, we would be here all day if you did."Savannah laughed."You two fight like that?"Melanie asked concerned. Before the two got a chance to talk,"Yeah,they did. And still do, I would know, I was there."Savannah laughed again."That doesn't even make sense."Aj snapped before Justine could mention the hallway sleeping incident last school year."And we don't act like five year olds any more!! So there!!"Aj snapped again as she stuck her tounge out at her sister."Oh yeah,totally. You soooooo don't act like a five year old."Justine giggled."And where does she get it from,I will never know."JoJo said turning around."You are just as guilty as I am."Aj snapped,hitting JoJo's arm. Aj was about to hit him once more, but JoJo grabbed her arm."Stop it."He said defending his scrawny arm."Make me..."She stopped where she was,"What's that smell?"She said holding her nose,disgusted. Savannah got angry."It's Brittany Whospears perfume,Okay!!"She snapped."Brittany Whospears doesn't even wear her own perfume."JoJo said releasing Aj's hand,"You know, Brittany Whospears doesn't even wear her own hair so, what does she know!"Aj added."Why are we even talking about her?"Justine asked. They all looked at eachother and shrugged.
"Um,...Children,...If you're done with your little conversation, Can we get back to class?"Mrs.Sanford asked politely.They all quickly realized that the entire class was watching them."Hehheh, didn't mean to slow you down."Aj said as she sunk into her chair. JoJo noticed her face and patted her head and said,"She's just a little chatter box."To the teacher. Aj quickly grabbed his wrist."Oh,shut up."She snapped, nearly breaking his hand."Hey, hey, hey."JoJo said trying to get his arm back,"Hey, yourself."She said calmly as she let go of his wrist."Ms.Bassford and Mr.O'Malley, you can continue this conversation at lunch,...or do you want detention?"Mrs.Sanford started to get annoyed."No ma'am."They both said,scared."But expect Savannah there."Aj joked. Savannah glared at her."If you are going to sing in the contest, meet me here after school tomorrow. If you're going to play an instrument, meet me here after school today."Mrs.Sanford gave information. Aj couldn't help but raise her hand,"Yes,Aj."Aj looked nervous,"Well, what about both? And how many acts can you do?"Mrs.Sanford's eyes widened in suprise,"If you are going to play an instrument and sing, meet me here in two days. And you can be in two acts, nothing more, got it?!"Mrs.Sanford smiled."Got it!!"Aj said happily as the bell rang. She quickly hopped up out of her chair and grabbed JoJo,Justine, and Savannah."TIME FOR LUNCH!!"She shouted. She literally dragged them out of the room and straight to lunch. Aj loves her food.
When they were in the cafiteria,JoJo and Aj were finally by themselves,"So are we still on for tonight?"JoJo asked. Aj smiled and pinched his cheek,"You know we are. As long as your new buddy doesn't follow us."She said looking over to Braidon, who was standing by Savannah in the lunch line. He looked back and winked."Yeah, make sure he doesn't."Aj looked back at JoJo with a nuasious look.
:In the lunchline:"Oh yeah, she wants me."He said to Savannah,"Suuuuure she does, And I'm a princess named..."She was broke off by Brian,"We get it,babe."He said as he put his arm around her,"I've told you once, I've told you a million times, I'M NOT YOUR GIRLFRIEND!!"She snapped as she shook his hand off of her shoulder."She wants me."Brian said as he followed her."Noone will listen to me, will they?"Braidon asked."Uh, everyone does, they just stop once you keep rambling on, and on about the same thing."Justine pointed out."Uh...I was listening, but I don't think you have a chance with her."Melanie said form behind him. He quickly turned around. He's never noticed her before."Uh, who are you?"He asked looking at her up and down."I'm Aj's friend,Melanie! You definatly don't have a chance with her."Melanie rolled her eyes as she walked past him.
Back at the table,JoJo was acting secretive."You're hiding something,aren't you?"Aj asked curiously."Well,maybe you can wait for tonight, or maybe I can give you this now."JoJo said as he pulled out a little box with a small blue bow on it."Oooooh!! What is it?!"She asked, excited."Open it and find out."He said as he gave her the small box. She opened it to reveal another necklace. It was a locket with a keyhole in the front."Where's the key?"Aj asked. JoJo smiled and lifted up his head to reveal a chain with a black skull key. Aj couldn't stop herself from smiling."Key to my heart I presume?"Aj smiled happily."Yup."He answered simply. She wanted to just kiss him, but everyone was around. And Melanie and Braidon didn't know. Oh well, Atleast they can have the time at their date tonight.
