For Disclaimer see chapter one. The song A Dangerous Game is from the musical "Jekyll and Hyde". I don't own it. I just love it.
Chapter Three: The Day before Homecoming
It was the day before Homecoming and Miss Parker was in the dark. Jarod had insisted on making all the plans and wouldn't tell her anything. It was driving her crazy!
"You are really driving me crazy!" she told him while they talked on the phone.
"I know." Replied her boyfriend.
She could hear the smile in his voice. Rolling her eyes, she changed the subject.
"Are we still going to try out for the musical?"
"Of course."
Their school was having their usual musical. This year was "Jekyll and Hyde". Jarod was trying out for Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde, while Parker was trying out for the part of Lucy, the prostitute that falls in love with Dr. Jekyll. They sang a song called A Dangerous Game. The song was the main reason she was trying out for the part.
"Do you want to come over and practice?" she asked.
"Sure. On the way over, I'll pick up Angelo."
"Why are you going to pick up Angelo?"
"Because he is an amazing piano player. It's his special talent."
"Okay. I'll see you then."
They hung up. About fifteen minutes later, Jarod, Angelo, and Miss Parker were in her living room. Angelo sat on the piano bench while Jarod and Parker stood in the middle of the room.
"Why are you guys trying out for this?" Angelo asked as he tested the sound of the piano.
"I think it'll be fun." Said Miss Parker.
"It'll be something new for me." Added Jarod.
"Or, you're both over achievers." Angelo said with a grin.
"Shut up and play the music." Jarod said, hitting his friend over the head with the music.
Laughing, Angelo began to play. And Miss Parker started to sing.
Miss Parker (LUCY)
I feel your fingers -
Cold on my shoulder -
Your chilling touch,
As it runs down my spine -
Watching your eyes
As they invade my soul -
Forbidden pleasures
I'm afraid to make mine...
At the touch of your hand
At the sound of your voice
At the moment your eyes meet mine
I am out of my mind
I am out of control
Full of feelings I can't define
Jarod (HYDE)
It's a sin with no name
Miss Parker (LUCY)
Like a hand in a flame
Jarod (HYDE)
And our senses proclaim
Jarod (HYDE) / Miss Parker (LUCY)
It's a dangerous game!
Jarod (HYDE)
A darker dream
That has no ending
That's so unreal
You believe that it's true.
A dance of death
Out of a mystery tale
The frightened princess
Doesn't know what to do!
Will the ghosts go away?
Miss Parker (LUCY)
No -
Jarod (HYDE)
Will she will them to stay?
Miss Parker (LUCY)
No -
Jarod (HYDE)
Either way, there's no way to win!
Miss Parker (LUCY)
All I know is I'm lost
And I'm counting the cost
My emotions are in a spin.
I don't know who to blame...
Jarod (HYDE)
It's a crime and a shame!
Miss Parker (LUCY)
But it's true all the same
Jarod (HYDE) / Miss Parker (LUCY)
It's a dangerous game!
No one speaks
Not one word
But what words are in our eyes.
Miss Parker (LUCY) ---- Jarod (HYDE)
Silence speaks Silence speaks
Loud and clear loud and clear
All the words All the words
We don't want to hear. We want to hear.
Jarod (HYDE) / Miss Parker (LUCY)
At the touch of your hand
At the sound of your voice
At the moment your eyes meet mine
I am losing my mind
I am losing control
Fighting feelings I can't define.
Miss Parker (LUCY)
It's a sin with no name
Jarod (HYDE)
No remorse and no shame -
Fire, fury and flame!
Miss Parker (LUCY)
Cos the Devil's to blame!
Miss Parker and Jarod (BOTH)
And the Angels proclaim...
It's a dangerous game!
The song ended and they all looked at each other.
"That was amazing." Said Angelo in awe.
"So is your piano playing." Parker replied.
"Aww. You're too kind!" Angelo grinned.
She smiled at him and then turned to Jarod. "I still want to know what we're doing for Homecoming!" declared Parker.
Jarod just looked at her and laughed.
