I quirked my eyebrow at him. "And which song would that be?" Total looked at me, his black eyes glimmering. "Minority."
Huh?
"It's an old song by a band called Green Day. Any of you kids know who those people are?" Total asked in all seriousness. Iggy raised his hand. "I do." Total nodded his head a few times. "Good, good…"He walked over to the machine. "Angel, would you mind?" Angel smiled and got off the couch. She searched through the pile of CD's, and found it quickly. She popped it in, took the microphone and sat down next to total, holding up the microphone so he could sing in it.
"Ready?" Angel asked, smiling broadly. Total proceeded to clear his throat a few times, sing to himself "me, me, me" and then he said, "Ok, now, I'm ready." I rolled my eyes as Angel pressed 'play'.
A single guitar string played the first few notes, then the drum came in and Total began to sing.
"I want to be the minority!
I don't need your authority!
Down with the moral majority!
'Cause I want to be the minority!
I pledge allegiance to the underworld
One nation underdog
There of which I stand alone
A face in the crowd
Unsung, against the mold
Without a doubt
Singled out
The only way I know
I want to be the minority!
I don't need your authority!
Down with the moral majority!
'Cause I want to be the minority!
Stepped out of line
Like a sheep runs from the herd
Marching out of time
To my own beat now
The only way I know
One light, one mind
Flashing in the dark
Blinded by the silence of a thousand broken hearts
For crying out loud
She screamed unto me
A free for all" Total paused for a moment, then sang,
"'Em all
You are your own sight
I want to be the minority!
I don't need your authority!
Down with the moral majority!
'Cause I wanna be the minority!" The song ended then with the same guitar strings being played in the beginning. The whole time Total sang, he was rocking back and forth, as if swaying with the music. If the music was slow dance, instead of fast-beat rock, that is.
"Wow Total!" Angel said in full amazement. "That was great!" "Well, I must say, it was terrible, what do you think Paula?" Iggy said in a fake English accent, looking over in my general direction. "Oh, you're just jealous," Total said, walking away in huff. "Well, that was weird." Fang said, sounding and looking board, as usual. "Weirder than usual," Nudge said, looking at Angel. I guess she was wondering about something, because Angel shrugged a few moments later, which cause Nudge to pout.
"Well," I said, getting up. "Everyone's done right?" "No!" Angel jumped up. "It's my turn!"
Sorry for the delay. I've been busy with school lately, so I haven't gotten time to write that much anymore.
