Forgotten Memories
Chapter 25
Aelita's POV
It was awesome! As soon as we walked in, it was the most awesome party of all-time! (Well, in my opinion it was.)
"Wow! This is killer!" Yumi complimented.
"I know right?" I agreed. I looked around the gym. Nearly every eighth grader was there! Yumi and I walked around until we found the guys. They were over by the DJ readying their .. instruments? This was their big surprise? I couldn't wait! I ran over and Yumi followed. Odd turned his head and broke out into a huge grin.
"Hey Princess!" he greeted me as he wrapped his arm around my waist. While they weren't looking, he gave me a peck on the cheek. It was my turn to grin.
"Hey you guys! What's up?" Ulrich asked.
"We're doing great! This party is fantastic!" Yumi exclaimed. Ulrich blushed.
"Uh, thanks." Ulrich thanked while blushing like mad, but Yumi pretended not to notice.
"By any chance have you seen Raimundo?" Odd asked. My grin disappeared. That's weird. Wouldn't Raimundo be already here tuning an instrument? And where was Kim? I looked around.
"No.." I said quietly. Then I heard a girl behind me squeal, "Hey y'all!" I looked around- and it was Kim!
"Kim! We were just talkin' 'bout you! Where have you been?" I asked.
"Ever heard of bein' fashionably late, hon?" she asked.
"It's just a way of some people, Aelita." Odd whispered into my ear. Kimiko didn't wait for an answer, as she skipped around.
"Come on Raimundo!" Kimiko told her "friend." A figure walked out and then we saw Raimundo. He was wearing a casual black T-shirt with some baggy jeans and sneakers. Uh, hello? This is a party! But I guess I'm one of the few that caught up on that.
"Ready Raimundo?" Ulrich asked, finally able to talk while not blushing.
"Yep. We'll talk to you girls later!" Raimundo said. Ulrich waved 'bye' at Yumi. Odd gave my waist a squeeze before leaving. I sighed as soon as he was out of earshot and sight. Man, he was awesome!
Odd's POV
We were ready to finally play the song. It was pretty easy to play and every word is true.
"Ready Odd?" Ulrich asked. I nodded.
"How about you Raimundo?" I asked him. He gave me a thumbs up. I was the guitarist, Raimundo was the drummer, and Ulrich played the bass. (A/N: I know he doesn't play the bass okay!)
We got up and then the whole room quieted.
"Hey everyone! We're gonna play a song and this is dedicated to my girlfriend- Aelita!" I told. Quite a few of them cheered. Then we played.
Hey I've been watching you (Hey Juliet)
Every little thing you do
Every time I see you pass
In my homeroom class, makes my heart beat fast
I've tried to page you twice
But I see you roll your eyes
Wish I could make it real
But your lips are sealed, that ain't no big deal
'Cause I know you really want me
I hear your friends talk about me
So why you trying to do without me
When you got me
Where you want me
I think you're fine
You really blow my mind
Maybe someday, you and me can run away
I just want you to know
I wanna be your Romeo
Hey Juliet
I winked over Aelita's way and she smiled really big. Now it was Raimundo's turn to sing. Girl you got me on my knees 'Cause I know you really want me Hey Juliet
Beggin' please, baby please
Got my best DJ on the radiowaves saying
Hey Juliet, why do you do him this way
Too far to turn around
So I'm gonna stand my ground
Gimme just a little bit of hope
With a smile or a glance, gimme one more chance
I hear your friends talk about me
So why you tryin' to do without me
When you got me
Where you want me
I think you're fine
You really blow my mind
Maybe someday, you and me can run away
I just want you to know
I wanna be your Romeo
Hey Juliet
Raimundo smiled really big at Kimiko and I swear I could see her blush. Ulrich Time! I know you really want me Hey Juliet
I hear your friends talk about me
So why you tryin' to do without me
When you got me
Where you want me
You don't have to say forever
For us to hang together
So hear me when I say
Hey Juliet
I think you're fine
You really blow my mind
Maybe someday, you and me can run away
I just want you to know
I wanna be your Romeo
Hey Juliet
He put his hand close to his chest and let it go towards Yumi. Like Aelita, she smiled. Hey Juliet
I think you're fine
You really blow my mind
Maybe someday, you and me can run away
I just want you to know
I wanna be your Romeo
Hey Juliet!
The song ended and nearly everybody cheered. Aelita, Yumi, and Kimiko came up onstage and gave us all hugs. I took Aelita close and whispered in her ear, "Let's dance."
