Where we left: His thoughts were interrupted as the song started to play…
Now with the story…

Chapter 35
X noticed the song was taking a little longer to start than his had and wondered why that was. He heard some whispers coming from the crowd; it was obvious they had noticed the delay as well. What was happening? Perhaps there were technical problems or maybe the lights had actually gone out… Or perhaps… Perhaps Kole had finally realized she had no chance of winning against him-
"What the-?!" X suddenly felt himself being pulled back to the center of the stage by a small hand; a hand he recognized: He had been holding it just a few minutes ago.
As this occurred, purple and pink lights shone all over the place moving for about 3 seconds.
Ahhh
Suddenly the purple light stopped to shine on the crowd, an orange one illuminated the back-up singers, a red light shone on X who had a surprised expression on his face while a pink light shone on Kole who let go of the grey-eyed boy's hand and directed her attention to the crowd.
Boy walkin' the spot he so fresh and (uh huh)
He got what he needs impressin' (uh huh)
As Kole sang, she motioned to Red X; as if he was the one the song was talking about. This made him confused; he wasn't sure what the pink-haired girl was planning but he needed to watch out for her. Still, he had to admit that his ego was being raised because of the lyrics Kole was singing.
Just look at the way that he dressin'
Ain't no question chicks like oh
Kole was being very expressive and that helped her, she knew she had the control now. She and Cheshire had been talking about this performance over the 10 minutes recess and she had decided to play the same game X had; the song was mere coincidence but it was perfect for this. For the moment she stayed a little away from her rival in order to point each of them at a time.
Girl walk in the spot she stop traffic (uh huh)
She blowin' your mind with her assets (uh huh)
Kole actually didn't feel really good pretending to be the girl in the song, but she had to do it if she wanted to continue playing with X and, so, she continued. She had picked this song only because she liked the rhythm and it would allow her to dance more freely than 'Real Emotion' had, not actually for the lyrics.
So Jessica Alba fantastic
Instant classic boys like oh
Kole then neared her rival to the point she knew he could feel her breath on his face, getting a few enticing whistles from the audience. She was pretty sure most of the students from her school were, probably, freaked out by her actions but she tried not to pay attention to that and focus on her song.
Baby I can see us movin' like that (like that)
Baby I can see us touchin' like that (like that)
Kole suddenly took X's chin in her hand and pulled him to her; their mouths only separated by the microphone. At the moment she was feeling kind of bad: Her crush was in the audience and she didn't want to give him the wrong idea and lose any chance she may have with him after her performances.
Baby I can see us kissin' like that (like that)
We don't need no more than he said, she said
Kole moved her hand from his chin and to his collar to keep him in place. At the moment, X wasn't really moving along with her and the music, but he didn't seem to be fighting her either; if only those shades weren't covering his eyes she would know what he was feeling and be sure he was falling for her provocation.
Baby I can see us movin' like that (like that)
Baby I can see us touchin' like that (like that)
… Then again, considering the way she was moving and the fact that, if she didn't keep her guard up, he could kiss her at that very moment if he wanted, she wasn't so sure now about looking into his eyes and knowing what exactly X was feeling.
Baby I can see us kissin' like that (like that)
We don't need another he said, she said
Kole then moved away from the boy, pushing him a little as well to sing the next stanza which was a little calmer than the last. At this moment, Argent was going to sing along with her while Donna would be playing as a third voice.
He said girl you winning
She said boy where you been at (where you been)
Stop talkin' lets get with it
Just like that they
Kole continued to face the crowd rather than her rival and now she could see that, as shocking as the performance might have been for some at the beginning, by now everyone –or as far as she could see- were enjoying her act. She looked at X out of the corner of her eye but he wasn't facing the crowd; he was just looking at her as if waiting to see her next move.
He said your amazing (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
She said then why you waiting
Kole called Red X over with her index finger; he obliged and walked closer to her as she continued to sing.
No more deliberating
Wat'cha doin' lets get to it
Just like that they
The pink-haired girl moved from one side of the platform back to the center, X following behind. Just when he was about to reach her, Kole stopped him with her hand so she could move around him in the next stanza.
Uh
Boy acting as if there's no pressure (Uh huh)
He'd do anything to get with her (Uh huh)
He say anything to convince her
Money spent to diamonds sent her (oh)
Kole continued to dance around X as she tried to act what the song was saying even if the only thing the boy was doing was following her every move with his gaze –she didn't have to take his shades off to figure that out-. Besides, he was smirking and that wasn't making it any easier for her to continue with the act.
Girl playing it cool but she's with it (Uh huh)
She loving the fact she's gifted (Uh huh)
Everything that he do she gets lifted
Feels so wicked loving like oh
But she couldn't stop now; she couldn't let X win not only because of the bet, but also for what he had done to her a few minutes ago: If he wanted to be a jerk, well; two could play that game.
Baby I can see us movin' like that (like that)
Baby I can see us touchin' like that (like that)
Yeah, she had to get too close to him for comfort again, but it would be worth it… as long as the plan worked.
Baby I can see us kissin' like that (like that)
We don't need no more that he said, she said
For the next chorus, she decided to push X a little away and focus on the crowd. She wanted to see their reactions and to show them that she hadn't forgotten about them and how they were important to her. Besides, she also needed to check what was happening with her crush.
Baby I can see us movin like that (like that)
Baby I can see us touchin' like that (like that)
Baby I can see us kissin' like that (like that)
We don't need another he said she said
So far, so good; her crush was enjoying the performance –or so it seemed- and so was the rest of the audience. Maybe she could actually win the duel and see X making a fool of himself and not the other way around.
He said girl you winning
She said boy where you been at (where you been)
Stop talkin' lets get with it
Just like that they
She walked backwards to the spot her opponent was standing on still facing towards the crowd but being careful to gaze out of the corner of her eye to be sure of not crashing against X who stayed still looking at her.
He said your amazing
She said then why you waiting
No more deliberating
Wat'cha doin' lets get to it
Just like that they
Kole then turned back to X, took him by the collar and pulled him with her as she walked near the back-up singers, making sure she kept her eyes on his own so she could make her plan work without him noticing.
One day with you
Boy just one day with you
All the things we can do
Everyday I think of
She moved her feet very swiftly but kept her upper body almost unmoving and her face close his, confusing the public a little about what she was trying to do but gaining their interest none-the-less.
One day with you
No one else but us two
All our dreams would come true
If we just get together! (Yeah yeah yeah)
Kole was sure she was not going to fail, her feet were doing just what they had to and X wasn't suspecting a thing; not with her face so close to his anyway.
Baby I can see us movin' like that (like that)
Baby I can see us touchin' like that (like that)
Now, she stood in place, making sure X did the same and kept looking at him right into his eyes, through his shades of course. While she did this, the rest of her body kept moving so she wouldn't miss the beat and to keep X distracted.
Baby I can see us kissin' like that (like that)
We don't need no more that he said, she said
Kole turned around and started to dance with her back to her rival – a position that actually provoked the public even more-. She hated the fact that she had to do that in front of so many people; even more people she knew, but it would last only a few seconds…
Baby I can see us movin' like that (like that)
Baby I can see us touchin' like that (like that)
Kole turned back to face the dark-haired boy and stepped back ever so carefully but with a hand up as to tell X to stay right on his spot while she continued to advance.
Baby I can see us kissin' like that (like that)
The girl turned back to her rival and called him over with her finger, X started to walk and-
We don't need another he said, she said
BAM!
Uh What You Waiting for
Kole couldn't help but smirk at the sound while still singing: Hers and Ches' plan had actually worked!
He said girl you winning
She said boy where you been at (where you been)
She turned back to see X down on the floor with his feet tangled in the cables of one of the speakers and looking very mad about it. Asking Punk Rocket how strong the wires were before her second performance helped fulfill the plan Ches had proposed –Come on, you weren't actually thinking Kole would think on something mean like this, were you?-.
Stop talkin' lets get with it
Just like that they
Revenge had a sweet taste to it; the pink haired girl had to admit, but she was only wishing she wouldn't need to do that to anyone ever again; although, X did deserve to walk down the dock of shame and feel just as ashamed as she had felt… Perhaps he was feeling even worse than her considering that he had been fooled by the one he had fooled mere minutes ago.
He said your amazing
She said then why you waiting
No more deliberating
Wat'cha doin' lets get to it
Just like that they
While X tried to untangle himself, Kole turned back to the crowd: They were responding just the way they had done it when she fell off the stage and her crush seemed to be enjoying every second of X's humiliation; that helped her to feel better, now she could end her performance in peace.
Give it to me baby!
The crowd cheered her on. At that moment she wasn't worrying about the bet, she was only focusing on the moment: No X to bother her, no more fear of the crowd and no more doubting about her crush thinking something bad about her.
You're gonna like it (uh)
You're gonna want it (uh)
You're gonna like it (uh)
We don't need no more that he said she said
Last stanza, lights dancing around, almost time to find out the truth…
You're gonna like it (yeah)
You're gonna want it (you're gonna want it)
You're gonna like it (yeah yeah)
We don't need no more that he said she said
Uh
The Lynx was filled with applause, technically as loud as it had been after X's performances; it would be a tough decision, but she had given her best.
How amazing it was that now she didn't feel nervous singing that song for a crowd; at least not as nervous as she would have been had this been her first song. It took her a moment to get used to the public… Perhaps she actually should try her luck on the artistic field once she graduates from high school or college.
"How amazing!" Punk Rocket called over the cheering crowd making them shut up, the DJ was walking up towards Kole with X by his side; no one had even noticed when the boy had managed to get away from the wires "Man, and I thought last week's performances were awesome! No offence Mal!"
"None taken!" Mal yelled from his spot at the bar.
"I don't know if you guys hold some kind of grudge against each other but it doesn't matter because the show was really something, don't you agree?!" The crowd agreed by applauding and whistling "I'd like to give you both the price but only one of you will performance for us once again tonight, the rest of the week and get free stuff for six moths!"
People were already deciding who they liked better, but they had to admit it was a hard decision. Both teens were great singers and the show, as Punk Rocket said, was really something.
"I now want you to tell me who should win tonight. Please, no screaming, no whistling, no jumping; with only your applause you'll let me know who wins tonight." All the people in the Lynx got ready to applaud and crown one of the two teens winner "Now, give it up for Jason!"
X raised his hand and a wave of applause sounded; it was loud… Really loud…
"Wow, you've got quite a lot of fans here Jason." The DJ commented with a smirk, to which X replied with one of his own.
"No surprise there, trust me."
"I'm sure of that." No one was sure if it was sarcasm or not but Punk Rocket continued before anything else could be said "Now, let's hear it for Kole!"
Kole raised her hand and the crowd applauded again. No one was sure about it, but Kole's cheers were more or less at X's cheer levels; even when Kole had the support of some guys who didn't give even a clap to X, it would be a very hard decision.
"Wow! Tough decision indeed!" Punk Rocket exclaimed once the crowd had calmed down again "But my well-trained ear has got the results!"
All eyes were on the DJ, no one was making a noise; this was it: The winner of the prizes, the king or queen of the crowd and the one who would keep their dignity by not losing the bet made during the recess!!!... What? That's the most important part, you know?
"And the winner is…!"

And the winner is for you to decide! Leave your votes in a review; you have until New year (December 31st) to vote and then I'll start writing the next chapter. Who will be the one punished?
Now guys, I have some news and propositions for you: I know you're always tired of waiting around for new updates so I'll give you homework. I just opened a blog for my productions (Fics and Videos), where I'll add updates on my work and it has links to Photobucket albums about my fics, however, I can't give a lot of pictures 'cause I suck at drawing (As you will see on the already existent drawings in the Wilson High Album.) So, you'll give me the pics for the albums of each and every fic I have uploaded.
And no, this won't be for free: If you actually send me a drawing (any drawing), I'll add the link to it in my profile until a new update. AND, if your drawing is original, awesome or wakes something within me, I'll add your very own character in one episode of the fic the pic is about. Yeah! It's true! I'll send you a message telling you to send me your character description and what would you like them to do in my story and (more or less) how would you like the scene to be; the character will have a little participation as long as it doesn't really affect the story. In the Author's Note at the end of the Chapter, I'll give the credit of the character to the original owner. The character can appear in more than one episode, but it can only be done with a special drawing (1 drawing= 1 chapter), ok?
You can find the link to the blog on my profile. Also, I updated my profile somewhat, you might wanna check it out.
That's it for now, don't forget to review and leave your votes and I hope I can get many drawings!
Next Chapter: There is only one winner and they have to sing one last song for the night, who will be the winner?
