Chapter 35

Erin and Vlad had just handed in their permission slips and he took her to the leaver's assembly. The trip was a week camping during the holidays and they both looked forward to it. Once in they sat with their friends. He had asked in favours all week from the dancers and singers from the school show.

The showed the presention and then a slide came on, it was only then when Erin noticed Vlad wasn't beside her, and the song changed and All Star Weekend's Come down with love began to play.

Suddenly Vlad ran onto the stage a radio mic in his hand and he pointed at Erin.

"I've been stopping at green lights
Got lost on my way home, I'm sleep walking at night
I put my shirt on inside out
Umbrella in the sun, my head up in the clouds

My friends just laugh at me
There's only one thing it could be

I've come down with love, got bit by the bug
I'm sick and I feel confused, I know it's true
I've come down with love, I can't get enough
I won't break this fever, I need her, I'm bit by the bug

I've come down with love
I've come down with love

You've got me trippin' on my feet
My mind starts racing and my heart forgets to beat
When you start to walk my way
I forget where I am, can't find the words to say

My friends just laugh at me
There's no cure for this disease

I've come down with love, got bit by the bug
I'm sick and I feel confused, I know it's true
I've come down with love, I can't get enough
I won't break this fever, I need her, I'm bit by the bug

I've come down with love
I've come down with love

Don't need a shot, don't need a doctor
They can't make me okay, it's up to you
Give me an answer because I'm trying just to see you
Only wanna feel you, dying just to hear you say

I've come down with love, got bit by the bug
I'm sick and I feel confused, I know it's true
I've come down with love, got bit by the bug
I'm sick and I feel confused, I know it's true

I've come down with love, I can't get enough
I'm sick and I feel confused, I know it's true
I've come down with love, got bit by the bug
I won't break this fever, I need her, I'm bit by the bug

I've come down with love
I've come down with love
I've come down with love
I've come down with love"

As he sang the verse he ran off stage, took Erin's hand and pulled her onto the stage. Looked her in the eyes and sang the last line:

"We've come down with love" As the year 11's cheered he lowered his lips to hers, kissed her sweetly and pulled back smiling.
