Chapter 9: Gotta be Somebody

Will and Alex walked out of the building and toward the street when Alex stopped Will. "You know Will, I think that one boy in there likes you. He was the one with those girls that were talking to you." Alex stared at her waiting for Will to say something.

"I would like to believe that he could like me but I really doubt it. Thanks for trying though Alex." Will then walked into the street without looking and she heard Alex scream out her name as he pulled her back onto the sidewalk. Will looked to see what had just happened and then blushed from embarrassment. She rubbed the back of her neck with a small smile on her face. "Thanks Alex, I think I'll look this time." Will then looked both ways and started then crossed the street with Alex right behind her.

Cornelia and the girls all made it to the spot that they had heard the scream come from but no one was there. "You think that she could have been taken?" Hay Lin asked worriedly.

"I guess if we don't see her tomorrow, we will know then." Irma said also slightly worried about Will but soon grew out of her worry. "So who wants to go out to lunch?" Irma looked at the girls with a smile on her face.

The girls slapped their foreheads and sighed. "Is that all you can think of right now Irma?" Taranee and Cornelia asked in unison.

Irma thought about it for a second and smiled. "Yes." Irma said simply and then heard the announcements come on. 'Ok students; school has been cancelled for the rest of today due to Jess being injured. I figure it's a good way to spite her since she will be in the hospital for a while. So go home everyone. Oh and remember that tomorrow is the talent show so since Jess will be gone, we can finally enjoy it. That is all.' Then Irma turned to the other girls with a smile. "I like Will more and more." Then she dragged everyone to the Silver Dragon.

When Alex and Will got back to the Orphanage, they gathered all of those that should be in high school and got them ready for their first day at school. After about two hours, Will had finally gotten everyone ready as far as supplies go and then decided to take a break. She looked over at Alex and smiled. "Hey Alex, let's go to that one restaurant" Will thought about it for a second and then remembered the name. "The silver Dragon, I'm in the mood for Chinese."

"Why don't you go Will, we are still getting our nerves together to just go to school." Alex then turned and started talking to some others about what had happened at the school today.

Will shrugged and smiled and headed off to the Silver dragon after grabbing some of her money that she had earned from Carrie over the years. Will grabbed her ugly looking purse and made her way to the Silver Dragon. Once she arrived, stares were aimed at her. Will just ignored them and then saw four girls specifically start to get up. She looked away for a second and then gained the courage to walk over to them. She gave a small smile and waved to the four. "Uh, hi"

Hay Lin turned to her and smiled. "Will, what are you doing here? Not that I don't want you here, I mean I…I…go ahead and hit me." Hay Lin mentally slapped herself.

"It's ok, I know enough to know when people don't want me around or don't say what they mean." Will said with a smile on her face.

Taranee then sat down and invited Will to sit which she gratefully accepted. "You hungry, I'm sure hay Lin's grandmother wouldn't mind giving you something to eat considering that week that you've had." Taranee said as she looked over to Hay Lin who nodded.

"No, I have money. Besides I refuse to take something for free even if it's as much as a balloon." Will said giving them a reason to change subject but instead, changed the subject herself. "I wanted to say sorry by the way, for acting the way that I did toward you when you came to the hospital." Will lowered her head sadly.

"Don't worry about it Will." Cornelia said and gave her a big smile. Will cheered up a bit and the group talked for hours.

The next day, Will had prepared herself for the talent show but other then that, not much had happened. She had avoided Matt the whole day and then night came and she got behind the curtains and waited for her turn. After about thirty minutes she got up on stage, took a deep breath, and then began to sing.

This time I wonder what it feels like
To find the one in this life
The one we all dream of
But dreams just aren't enough
So I'll be waiting for the real thing.
I'll know it by the feeling.
The moment when we´re meeting
will play out like a scene straight off the silver screen
So I`ll be holdin' my own breath
Right up to the end
Until that moment when
I find the one that I'll spend forever with

`Cause nobody wants to be the last one there.
'Cause everyone wants to feel like someone cares.
Someone to love with my life in their hands.
There`s gotta be somebody for me like that.

`Cause nobody wants to do it on their own
And everyone wants to know they´re not alone.
There's somebody else that feels the same somewhere.
There`s gotta be somebody for me out there.

Tonight, out on the street out in the moonlight
And dammit this feels too right
It´s just like Déjà Vu
Me standin' here with you
So I´ll be holdin`my own breath
Could this be the end?
Is it that moment when
I find the one that I'll spend forever with?

'Cause nobody wants to be the last one there
'Cause everyone wants to feel like someone cares.
Someone to love with my life in their hands.
There´s gotta be somebody for me like that.

`Cause nobody wants to do it on their own
And everyone wants to know they´re not alone.
There's somebody else that feels the same somewhere
There`s gotta be somebody for me out there.

You can´t give up!
Lookin´ for that diamond in the rough
You never know but when it shows up
Make sure you´re holdin` on
'Cause it could be the one, the one you´re waiting on

'Cause nobody wants to be the last one there.
And everyone wants to feel like someone cares.
Someone to love with my life in their hands.
There has gotta be somebody for me
Ohhhhhh.

Nobody wants to do it on their own
And everyone wants to know they´re not alone.
Is there somebody else that feels the same somewhere?
There`s gotta be somebody for me out there.

Nobody wants to be the last one there
'Cause everyone wants to feel like someone cares.
Is there somebody else that feels the same somewhere?
There has gotta be somebody for me out there.

After Will finished her song, she had gotten second which she was happy to go with and besides, she couldn't care less about winning. When everyone left, only six people stayed to congratulate Will. Matt was the first to say something or would have been if Will hadn't beaten him to it. "Matt, I'm sorry for acting like such a jerk to you especially after you took me to the hospital."

"Don't sweat it Will, it's ok." Matt paused for a minute and then quickly kissed Will and ran off.

Will put a hand to her lips where he had kissed her and smiled. 'Today is a good day.' Will thought to herself and then chased Matt outside and tackled him to the ground onto the grass and kissed him back. After Will broke the kiss, the two looked up toward the moon.
