MissHunni: I am a master of black magic, of course. Hehe Douchebuscus could be a thing... And I will reveal all (eventually)! XD
After a few seconds, everyone seemed to break out of their trance and they all started talking at once.
"Well, that was unexpected." Said Olga "What's up with him?"
"I don't know," Jack muttered "And I'm not sure I want to..."
"Whatever," I said cheerfully "Let's go do something!"
After wandering around for a little while, we found a bar. It looked kind of run down from the outside, except for the bright neon lights that spelled out the bar's name; Tyler's. A sign nailed into the greying brick proclaimed 'Open-mic Karaoke! Tonight from 9:30 PM'
Jack turned around excitedly, a glint in his eye "Guys! We have to go here. What time is it?"
I checked my watch "Uh... 9:45."
Jack's eyes had a mischievous glint in them.
I suddenly got the feeling that I would be hearing a lot of Third Eye Blind tonight.
"DOO DOO DOO, DOO DOO DOO DOO, DOO DOO DOO..."
"Jesus, does he actually know any other songs?" I laughed as Jack danced around whilst belting out Third Eye Blind's 'Semi-Charmed Life' at the top of his lungs.
Olga laughed along with me, but however soon decided to show some support for Jack and dragged me over to the dance floor. Neither of us could resist joining in with the song- it's just so goddamn good!
As the ending chords sounded, Olga and I, along with Sean who had joined us part way through, stood panting for breath. As Jack left the makeshift stage, we applauded and made our way over to him. "Nice one, Jack," I said, patting him on the shoulder.
"Thanks," He said. Then he cocked his head "El, you're a musician... Right?"
"Yeah..."
"Sing! Do karaoke for us!" He grinned
"Nooooo... Nope, not happening." I shook my head vigorously
"Please?" Oh great, now Olga had joined in "I've never heard you sing."
"Go on!" Jack said smirking. Then he turned to the rest of the bar and started chanting "El! El! El!"
As the rest of the bar were as drunk as my companions, they took up the chant without question.
Damn you, drunk Jack, making me do stupid stuff.
"Fine," I shook my head "but you owe me one."
I climbed up on the stage, and just as I was selecting a song to sing I noticed someone come into the bar and walk over to my friends.
A certain someone who had completely ignored me not too long ago.
Obviously he hadn't seen me, because as he reached the group he announced "Oh, good! You got rid of that... Thing. Where'd you pick her up, anyway? The gutter?" I could tell by the way his words slurred that he was drunk, and although I'd only just met him it still hurt.
However, I was in the perfect position to embarrass him. Scrolling through the list of songs I found something perfect for the occasion.
"What makes you so damn sure
That you're perfect, huh?
I can't explain you
Just like a nightmare
I can't remember..."
I kept my eyes on the group as I watched Jack's glare turn into a smirk. He was trying not laugh.
Toby turned around, opened mouthed. When he saw that it was me that was singing, his eyes widened dramatically and his jaw dropped even further.
I gave him a sarcastic raised eyebrow and concentrated on the music
"What makes you so damn sure
That you're worth it huh?
You're just a bad trip
I can't come back from since last December
I walk into the room and you steal everyone
I see you walk into the room
And you kill everyone, cause I know
My someday's gone now
Bye bye
My someday's gone now
Bye bye
Just let it go
How did you figure that I let you cut me down
Right at the knees
I fall like a dead man out of the airplane
How do you figure that I let you drag me around, huh?
You got my number draw me a story tell me a picture I walk into the room and
You've had everyone
And then you walked into the room and so said everybody already knows
My someday's gone now
Bye bye
My somedays gone now
Bye bye just let it go
Even when I live, a piece of me will die,
Win some lose some she won't bat an eye
Maybe when I sleep,
I'll see you in my dreams
Forget about it one day the day
I'm not gonna
See you walk into the room and you fucked everyone
And then you walked into the room well so what everyone already knows
My someday's gone now
Bye bye
My someday's gone now
Bye bye
My someday's gone now bye bye
Let it go"
By the end of the song, most people were on the dance floor, clapping and dancing along. My friends were openly laughing at Toby's sheepish face now, and, replacing the mic, I joined in.
As I rejoined the group, the others started chatting with me. After a while, I could sense Toby was going to say something. I turned and smirked at him, not willing to give him the satisfaction.
"If you'll excuse me, Mr. Turner, I have a gutter to get back to."
Hugging the others, and getting the keycard off Jack, I left the bar without a backwards glance.
A/N; Yay sassiness?! Man, I don't even know, it's six am and this is what my brain has come up with. I hope you enjoyed it? I just really like the idea of someone getting revenge on someone using karaoke. Maybe it's the lack of sleep. Whatever.
Next chapter MAY be in Toby's P.O.V?
This song was, of course, Someday's Gone by the fabulous All-American Rejects.
