It's Monday again, and the next round is up.
Sam and Chris came to Danny's house after not finding us in the clubhouse and then they had looked at Danny and me disapprovingly when they found us sparring. We both had many cuts, some minor bruises, sweat all over, and some small blood stains on our clothes, but we both had smirks on and determined faces to beat each other 'til the other gave up. When they got there, we were going to start another sparring since Danny had just beaten me for the fifth time (But we were tied!), but we cut it short when they said they brought ice cream.
I was kind of surprised that his fighting skills had improved, but he didn't tell me where or how he learnt them. He just smirked and said he'd met a guy which made me roll my eyes.
When we got back inside, Emily looked at the two of us disapprovingly too, but she was smiling, nonetheless. Alex said we should've told him we were fighting –even though I'm sure he may have heard us- so he could have filmed it and we could have 'helped us improve our fighting'. While we ate ice cream, Sam got me and pulled me aside to tell me that she got a date with Chris while he did the same with Danny. (I could hear his excited voice from across the room)
Also, Alex and Emily said they would go see me today at the competition. The second round takes place during lunch, so yeah. People from outside of the school can come in and see us perform. Sam kept telling me to practice, to which I rolled my eyes and told her I'd be ready and I was. Danny had asked us if somebody always sang in Music class but we said that it depended on what our teacher had in mind, making him grunt and get annoyed and get a cute pouty face.
We'd also managed to get Chris and Sam to go to school with us on Sam's motorcycle. (With a threat from Chris that none of his school work better fall from his backpack or 'else')
Oh, and if you're wondering, Sam and Chris had a regular type date. They had no monsters, no one pestering them, and no kissing at the end of it. (Which made Emily and me start hitting her with pillows after she came to my house since she was sleeping over. Danny went to sleep over with Chris for the night.)
On Sunday, I had family visiting over, so I didn't see any of them after the slumber party or for the rest of the day. We'd agreed that they would come over early so we could finish some MBC stuff that was pending. It was kind of hard since my cousins, Jess (Jessica), James, and Luciano, kept bothering us.
Well, Jess kept asking questions and flirting with Chris, James flirted with Sam and helped her with stuff, and Luciano didn't really bother Danny. He just distracted him from work. Apparently, the two had already met in Brazil, had gone to the same school, and were already friends. Luciano was the only one of my cousins who's been on Earth before me, and he lives there in Brazil but is going to be here with the rest of my cousins and us for a while. 'Now I can know more about Tina…' I thought. Then another thought struck me. 'Why do I care so much?…Hmm…I probably only care because Danny is my friend and I want to know what Tina did…Yeah, that's probably why.'
After, we said goodbye and I got behind Danny on his motorcycle while Chris sat on the front and Sam awkwardly tried to get the handle bars. (No way was she going to let him drive her bike. Even if it was Chris!) On the way there, Chris kept messing around with the controls and seeing what stuff the bike could do which had gotten him entertained like a little kid with a new toy, not letting himself see the smile Sam was giving him when she looked from the road to him at points.
After we parked and went to our classes, everything had gone by normally. Once we were in our fourth class of the day, all the singers that were going to perform were called to the cafeteria so we could go eat our lunch. Danny had said he was wishing that he was in the contest too because we were in our geometry class. I laughed and told him to just ask Chris to help him with the work in lunch. (And to not forget to get my homework)
Forty-five minutes later, people started coming outside where the tables and seats were. Most of the equipment was already set and all ready to use, so I just relaxed and sat on one of the table –which I reserved for my friends. A few minutes later, I saw Sam, Chris, Danny, Emily, and Alex come. I waved to them and they sat with me. The table was a round concrete picnic table. I was sitting in the front, facing the stage and Danny sat on my left, then to his Emily, then Alex. Sam sat to my right and Chris sat next to her.
"Ready?" Emily asked, getting anxious. I nodded and smiled. "Totally! I'm super excited to sing already," I replied and Sam asked, "What song are you going to sing?" I smiled when I heard my name called so I could go up to sing. People clapped and I turned to her, "Nothing special."
I got up on a stage that had been set up and people cheered after recognizing me and I smiled wider. Music started and I smirked, then started singing.
Don't keep me waiting, anticipating
Treating me like a fool
I got news for you
I'm turning my back
I'm dropping a bomb on you
Girls started singing along and some guys started getting nervous, annoyed, or mad. Sam and Emily started singing, too, which made Chris and Alex get a tiny bit nervous. Danny was smirking at me, but also at the two nervous boys.
You want me
You need me
Believe me, you'll be callin'
You love me
You hate me
Believe me, you'll come crawlin'
Some girls got up on the stage and we all started dancing along to the song and my singing. Girls started dancing around by their seats with their friends, others with their boy friends, and others with their boyfriends. The rest of the guy population that was here either still looked nervous or looked at some girls pervertly. Pretty much everyone was taking this like a party and I was hoping everyone would stay having fun for the rest of the round.
So get down and get off
Let me show you what you'll be missing
We break up, you break down
Gonna drag you through this kicking and screaming
There was more dancing, laughing, and even some teachers were smiling while police guards were alert for anything that might break out.
Don't keep me guessing I'm your favorite obsession
Don't get me a lame excuse
Is it me that you're messing
It's the same old confession
You're the one with something to lose
Watch out now
Don't blackout
There's no doubt
You can't have it
Control you
I'll own you
I'll show you, but you still can't have it
By now, I was back to smirking. Some guys got up on stage and danced with the girls that were around me, though there were a few. (About twenty, but it was alright since the stage was a ten by twenty by five feet rectangular prism which was giving everyone enough space to do anything. Some guys tried dancing with me but I just smirked more and bumped them away.
So get down and get off
Let me show you what you'll be missing
We break up, you break down
Gonna drag you through this kicking and screaming
So get down and get off
You're not the only one that I've been missing
We break up, you break down
Gonna drag you through this kicking and screaming
You'll be kicking and screaming
You'll be kicking and screaming
I'm so deceiving, you'll be kicking and screaming
I turned to look at my friends and found them all dancing, except Danny. Though, he had a bigger smirk on while looking at them. I'd noticed some girls asking him if he wanted to dance with them and he's said no. To the ones that were shy, he turned them down sweetly, and probably noticed that they had a friend who was glaring at him while they asked and suggested to ask him. To the ones that were s****y and b****ie, he plainly said no and shooed them off. He suddenly turned to me and his smirk grew. I smirked back and continued to sing.
Watch out now
You'll find out
You'll cry out
There's no one above me
I play hard
Don't run far
Come back now, I really do like you...
I winked, but not really to anyone. Strangely, I kinda got a strong feeling to wink at Danny but managed not to, and tried to ignore what I'd felt and just focused on the song. Some guys (Including Danny, but no one noticed his except me since he only looked towards the place for a millimeter and then turned back to me and I'm the one with great vision) turned to where I'd winked and tried to look for who it was meant to be.
So get down and get off
Let me show you what you'll be missing
We break up, you break down
Gonna drag you through this kicking and screaming
So get down and get off
You're not the only one that I've been missing
We break up, you break down
Gonna drag you through this kicking and screaming
You'll be kicking and screaming
You'll be kicking and screaming
Kicking and screaming
Kicking
And
Screaming
I stopped singing and the music faded. Everyone was cheering loudly and clapping and wanting an encore but I just left the stage smirking and the rest of the people that were with me got off too. Sam and Emily came up to me first and started telling me how great I did. "That wasn't just 'Nothing special'!" Sam exclaimed and Emily nodded rapidly.
"Totally!" she said, being on the balls of her feet and it's when I looked into her eyes and saw how hyper she was at the moment. I smiled widely and felt myself feel a different kind of excitement than the one that I get when I was on stage. It was the kind of excitement that I got when I was around my friends. I had it before Danny and Emily left and even though I'd been excited lately, it wasn't this much and like this.
"Yay! Thanks guys!" I exclaimed and hugged them. When I pulled away, they were both smiling and we walked back to our table as the guys congratulated me. I thanked them and sat back down on my seat.
I turned to Danny, who was leaning back on the table with his arms crossed and his now-more-than-ever-annoying smirk still on his face, and asked, "Why didn't you dance with anyone?" His smirk just increased about a millimeter and it was enough for my eyes to narrow, my arms to get crossed, a low growl to escape from my lips and an annoyed expression to come from my face. His smirk increased a bit more and I felt like punching him. I mentally sighed and thought, 'Why the heck does he have to annoy me so freaking much?'
"Simple," he said, starting to answer my question, "The Danny doesn't dance. Besides, I don't dance with just anyone." He leaned down and his face was a few inches away from mine. "I only dance with you," he said in an honest way, but it was still irritating, yet a bit sweet. I sighed, but I was still annoyed a bit. "You could've gone up and danced with me, you know." I said and he shrugged, smirking. "Nah, I like watching you from here much more," he said and looked up at the singer. I was going to say something but just didn't and did the same.
Okay, I'm gonna stop there. I honestly don't really know what to do for the next chapter… But I'll try to update something soon. If I don't, I'll be working on the 100 Stories or the Rewrite. I'm sorry I took so long to update, I'll try post something up soon, before school starts…Ugh… Please review, though! I want to know what you all liked from 'ere or what could've been better or how. I didn't really go over it, so yeah...
