Chapter 4
I stared blankly at the teacher. "I HAVE to sing?" I asked. The teacher nodded.
"Alright, let me think of something." It didn't take long for me to find which song I wanted to sing. It was a song I sang to Angel every night since she was 3.
"I've picked my song."
The teacher then asked, "What song is it?" Gee, I wonder why.
'It's called 'Good Company', from the Walt Disney movie Oliver and Company."
Some kids in class started snickering. I whirled around to face them. Thankfully, Fang wasn't one of them. "Oliver is one of the best movies EVER! I pity you, as I guess you haven't seen it." That shut them right up. Or it might have been my death glare set at 'If looks could kill, you'd be dead right now'. I wasn't sure.
"Should I start now?" I teacher nodded.
"Okay, but if your eardrums break because of my horrible singing, it's not my fault!" The class laughed, then got quiet. I began singing.
You and me together we'll be,
Forever you'll see.
I looked at my feet while I sang.
We two can be good company,
You and me,
Yes, together we two.
I looked at Fang. He smiled and put his thumbs up.
Together, that's you,
Forever with me.
We'll always be good company,
You and me,
Yes, together we'll be.
I looked at the class and teacher, and they were looking at me in awe.
You and me
Together we'll be,
Forever, you'll see.
We'll always be good company,
You and me,
Just wait and see.
When finished, the whole class started clapping.
"Bravo," the teacher said. "That was very, very good. You have potential with your voice." The class slowly got quiet again. "Now you have to play guitar with someone."
I looked around at the people that had their hands up. I kept looking around, hoping Fang would raise his hand. I saw a movement through the corner of eye, about where Fang was.
I looked at Fang. He was slowly raising his hand. Everyone but me gasped. "He never volunteers," I heard someone say. I grinned at him.
"I choose Fang." Fang smirked and we went to go get our guitars. I picked a nice blue electric guitar. He picked a solid black one. Not surprising.
Fang, I want to play the song by Avril Lavigne, What the Hell. Only the chorus though.
He nodded.
We started. I played the part in my head.
All my life I've been good but now, I'm thinking what the heck What... what... what... What the heck?
All I want is to mess around and I don't really care about
If you love me, if you hate me, you can't save me, baby, baby
All my life I've been good but now, whoa, what the heck
When we played the final note, Fang patted me on the back. The other students clapped and whopped. I took that as a 'good job!'
After we put away our guitars, the bell rung, so me and Fang left for Reading.
It flew by very quickly. And pretty soon I was on the bus with Fang again. Ah… Fang… Gosh, why was it so hard for me to forget about him? Well, I was not going to fall for him.
The first day of school was better than anything I could ever hope for. What a perfect day.
