I walk to the dressing room which are just in Sikowitz's class room and sit in front of a mirror. The song I finally decided on is perfect. Even though Jades parents hadn't known she was into girls she's know since she first started dating Beck. She had always been more into girls but was scared of how her parents would act. Me on the other hand i had never thought of a girl the way I think if Jade. When I started having feelings for her I was confused but then we sang on the date Sikowitz sent us on I knew that I liked her and then when she walked me to my car and kissed me it was like my world exploded and I knew I didn't want to be with a guy. That's why this song is perfect, I can't wait to see Jades face when I sing it.
After making sure I look perfect I had off to the stage and see Jade running a mic check, the warm feeling I seem to always get when I look at her is back and I can't stop grinning. I walk over and look at the list because I can't remember when I go on.

Jade
Sara
Jane
Connor
Leah
I'd forgotten there was only ten of us singing for this show and was actually happy we were first so that we could leave after and get some food. It would be fun going on a date with Jade and max. Hopefully we could get to the bottom of what was going on with her and her girlfriend so Jade would stop worrying so much.
I'm getting my mic set up when arms wrap around me and I lean my head back to place a kiss, I miss lips but hit a cheek, then open my eyes to see Jade smirking.
"And what if that wouldn't have been me,"she asks
"Then I'd have just kissed some random persons I suppose but I know my girlfriend,"I say grinning. We have to whisper because cats singing and when she finishes I kiss Jade hard and fast as my name is announced.
I run out onto the stage and am shocked to see Jade running in the crowd. She makes her way to the front and I can't help but grin as the music starts.
"This was never the way I planned
Not my intention
I got so brave, drink in hand
Lost my discretion
It's not what, I'm used to
Just wanna try you on
I'm curious for you
Caught my attention
I look at Jade as I sing and she's laughing as she jumps up and down. She looks so hot with her boobs bouncing and I almost miss the next verse but luckily I hear the intro and pull myself back.
I kissed a girl and I liked it
The taste of her cherry chap stick
I kissed a girl just to try it
I hope my boyfriend don't mind it
It felt so wrong
It felt so right
Don't mean I'm in love tonight
I kissed a girl and I liked it
I liked it
No, I don't even know your name
It doesn't matter
You're my experimental game
Just human nature
It's not what, good girls do
Not how they should behave
My head gets so confused
Hard to obey
I kissed a girl and I liked it
The taste of her cherry chap stick
I kissed a girl just to try it
I hope my boyfriend don't mind it
It felt so wrong
It felt so right
Don't mean I'm in love tonight
I kissed a girl and I liked it
I liked it
Us girls we are so magical
Soft skin, red lips, so kissable
Hard to resist so touchable
Too good to deny it
Ain't no big deal, it's innocent
I kissed a girl and I liked it
The taste of her cherry chap stick
I kissed a girl just to try it
I hope my boyfriend don't mind it
It felt so wrong
It felt so right
Don't mean I'm in love tonight
I kissed a girl and I liked it
I liked it"
I finish the song and the crowd is going insane but I only have eyes for Jade. I look at her and blow a kiss which makes her smile. I make my way to her as Andre sings his newest song. She's laughing as she kisses me and we embrace.
"Babe that was great,"she says in my ear. I smile and kiss her again as max is announced. We pull apart to watch her, this is the first time we've heard heard her sing and I'm slightly excited and then the music starts up and I'm looking at Jade wondering if she knows this song. I'm wondering how she got permission to sing it then I realize that the students were in control.
"Now little Lisa is only 9 years oldShe's trying to figure out why the world is so coldWhy she's all alone and ain't never met her familyMama's always gone and she never met her daddyPart of her is missing and nobody will listenMama is on drugs getting high up in the kitchenBringing home men at different hours of the nightStarting with some laughs - usually ending in a fightSneaking in her room while her mama's knocked outTrying to have his way and little Lisa says 'ouch'She tries to resist but then all he does is beat herTries to tell her mom but her mama don't believe herLisa is stuck up in the world on her ownForced to think that hell is a place called homeNothing else to do but get some clothes and packShe says she's 'bout to run away and never come Nicole is only 10 years oldShe's steady trying to figure why the world is so coldWhy she's not pretty and nobody seems to like herAlcoholic step-dad always wanna strike herYells and abuses, leaves her with some bruisesTeachers ask questions she making up excusesBleeding on the inside, crying on the outIt's only one girl really knows what she aboutHer name is little Stacy and they become friendsPromise that they always be tight 'til the endUntil one day little Stacy gets shotA drive by bullet went stray up on her blockNow Nicole stuck up in the world on her ownForced to think that hell is a place called homeNothing else to do but get her clothes and packShe says she's 'bout to run away and never come Erica is eleven years oldShe's steady trying to figure why the world is so coldSo she pops X to get rid of all the painPlus she's having sex with a boy who's sixteenEmotions run deep and she thinks she's in loveSo there's no protection he's using no gloveNever thinking 'bout the consequences of her actionsLiving for today and not tomorrow's satisfactionThe days go by and her belly gets bigThe father bails out he ain't ready for a kidKnowing her mama will blow it all outta proportionPlus she lives poor so no money for abortionErica is stuck up in the world on her ownForced to think that hell is a place called homeNothing else to do but get her clothes and packShe say she's about to run away and never come back."
Max is singing it slightly different but the entire school is quiet as she goes on and the words hit hard. I out and arm around Jade and she looks at me with a look that says what the hell happened to this girl.i look over at Max's girlfriend and she has tears in her eyes as she watches her and I'm confused. Surely she wouldn't be so emotional if she was abusive.I'm pulled back into the song before I can even think much about it.
"Runaway loveDon't keep on runnin' Don't keep on running alone I know how you feel, I've been there I was runnin' away to I will run away with you
Runaway Runaway LoveDon't keep running awayI'll run away with you, if you want me tooYeah, I can only imagine what you're going through ladies,Sometimes I feel like running away myself,So do me a favor right now and close your eyes And picture us running away together,When we come back everything is gonna be okay,"
She looks out into the crowd and I see the tears on her face as she says the last words.
"Open your eyes..." She says and drops the mic before walking off the stage. Everyone erupts in applause. It's chaos for a moment before Sikowitz comes out on the stage and says that there will be a five minute break.
"She's amazing,"Jade says looking at me,"her style and holy shit her voice that was hella crazy,"
"I know,"I say kissing Jade before she has to go back on the stage. Beck comes out and sings and then Jade comes out and she's looking directly at me with a big grin.
"Little girl
You like it loud
Come alive in the middle of a crowd
You wanna scream
You wanna shout
Get excited when the lights go"
Jade is moving around the stage but her eyes never leave mine. She's in her element and God mdoes she look good dancing.
