Chapter 7; Only exception/ I can hear the bells.
Sarah woke up that Monday morning with a big smile on her face. Thinking of how Jareth said that he would pick her up after work that made the smile bigger. The morning went by a little too quickly for her likening "Okay class that's lunch." She said to her drama class. Once she made sure that the entire class had left she left the classroom with the smile that she had on that morning. She walked in to the staffroom and was stopped by one of the school's gym teachers named Brittney Jenkins. "Hey Sarah what are you so happy about?" she asked her. "I can hear the bells. Well don't cha hear 'em chime? Can't you feel my heart beat keeping perfect time and all because he… Touched me, he looked at me and stared, yes he bumped me, my heart was unprepared, when he tapped me, and knocked me off my feet. One little touch and my life's complete "cause when he... nudged me, love put me in a fix, yes it hit me, just like a ton of bricks, yes my hear burst, now I know what life's about. One little touch and loves knocked me out and I can hear the bells, my head is spinning. I can hear the bells, something's beginning. Everybody says that a girl who looks like me. Can't win his love well just wait and see 'cause… I can hear the bells, just hear them chimming. I can hear the bells, my temperature is climbing. I can't contain my joy 'cause I finally found the boy I've been missin'. Listen! I can hear the bells! Round1: He'll ask me on a date and then. Round 2: I'll primp, but won't be late because. Round 3's: When we kiss inside his car, won't go all the way but I'll go pretty far! Round 4: He'll ask me for my hand and then. Round 5: We'll book the wedding band so by. Round 6: Karen, much to your surprize this freaky champion takes the prize and … I can hear the bells, my ears are ringing. I can hear the bells, the brides maids are singing. Everybody says that a guy who's such a gem won't look my way. Well, the laughs on them 'cause… I can hear the bells, my father will smile I can hear the bells, as he walks me down the aisle. My stepmother starts to cry but I can't see 'cause Jareth and I are French kissin'. Listen! I can hear the bells! I can hear the bells, my head is reeling. I can hear the bells, I can't stop the pealing. Everybody warns that he won't like what he'll see but I know that he'll look inside of me yeah, I can hear the bells today's just the start 'cause I can hear the bells, and 'till death do us part. And even when we die we'll look down from up above remembering the night that we two fell in love. We both shed a tear and he'll whisper as we're reminiscin'. Listen! I can hear the bells! I can hear the bells. I can hear the bells." Sarah sang to her. "Sarah, you have a lovely singing voice and who's Jareth?" Brittney asked her. "Jareth is my boyfriend." Sarah said and sitting down to eat her lunch before her next class starts. ************ After the school day finished**************** "Hello precious, how was work?" Jareth asked after Sarah got out of the building. "It was good. How was your day?" She asked him. "Boaring" he replied. "What do you want to do Precious?" he asked her. "how about we go out for dinner." She suggested. "Only if you let me buy it." "I'm okay with that. But where are we going?" "It's a surprise." They walked to his car in silence "That's a nice car." Sarah said to him. After dinner Sarah and Jareth went to her house to watch a movie. After the movie was done Sarah got ready for bed. "When I was younger I saw my daddy cry and curse at the wind. Broke his own heart and I watched as he tried to reassemble it. And my momma swore that she would, never let herself forget. And that was the day that I promised I'd never sing of love if it does not exist. Well darling, you are the only exception, you are the only exception, you are the only exception, you are the only exception. Maybe I know somewhere deep in my soul that love never lasts. And we've got to find other ways to make it alone. Keep a straight face. And I've always lived like this. Keeping it comfortable a distance. And up until now I had sworn to myself that I'm contempt with loneliness. Because none of it was ever worth the risk. You are the only exception, you are the only exception, you are the only exception, you are the only exception. I've got a tight grip on reality but I can't let go of what's in front of me here. I know you're leaving in the morning when you wake up. Leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream. Woah.
You are the only exception, you are the only exception, you are the only exception, you are the only exception. You are the only exception, you are the only exception, you are the only exception, you are the only exception. And I'm on my way to believing. Oh, and I'm on my way to believing." Jareth heard her sing. Rest of Sarah' week was dull Jareth didn't pick her up after work for the next four days. Leaving her wondering if she did something wrong.
