"That movie sucked." Luis complained as the six teenagers exited the movie theater.
"You chose it." Rebecca replied. "I hate Friday nights. There is absolutely nothing to do."
"Well, let's go do something." Charlie insisted. "I don't wanna go all the way back to campus. It's still early and everybody there's probably studying or something."
"You should consider doing that sometime." Rebecca said, smiling at Charlie.
"Shouldn't you be teaching English or something?" He asked, rolling his eyes. He walked over to Jordan and wrapped an arm around her shoulder. "Hey, babe, what do you wanna do?" He asked her.
"I don't know. Don't ask me, ask someone else." She replied, giggling.
"KARAOKE!" Averman suggested, a huge grin on his face. Stacy and Jordan looked at each other and then over at Rebecca. A large grin had appeared on her face.
"AVERMAN!" Stacy and Jordan exclaimed simultaneously.
"Why'd you have to go and suggest THAT of all things?" Stacy complained.
"Karaoke will be fun." Luis added. "I fancy myself a song every once in a while." He moved closer to Stacy and winked at her.
"You've obviously never seen Carlisle in a karaoke bar." Jordan looked at Luis.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Rebecca asked, hands on her hips.
"You get all elaborate and everything, like it's a real performance, and you get all into it, dancing and stuff. It's weird." Stacy had a nervous look on her face.
"I'd like to see you get all into it." Luis said, bumping his hip against Stacy's.
"Do I look amused to you?" She asked. "She's not your best friend. She doesn't embarrass you."
"People will know she's with us, too." Luis added. "So we can all be embarrassed together."
"I think it'll be fun. Come on. Let's go." Averman insisted, walking down the street towards the karaoke bar. Rebecca giddly runs beside him.
"This is going to be so much fun." She giggled. Slowly, everyone followed them down the street. Averman held the door open as Rebecca walked in. "Thank you kindly." She curtsied as she ran past him. The place was nearly empty. Only about ten other people were scattered throughout the room. They were safe. Rebecca ran over to look through the records as her five friends found seats.
"I'm having a lot of fun tonight." Luis smiled, leaning back in his chair. It was a widely known thing that Luis had the hots for Stacy and she for Luis, however, Stacy also had the hots for a certain resident cowboy.
"Me, too." Jordan smiled. Charlie had been crushing on Jordan since the beginning of the year, and Jordan had been doing to same on Charlie, however, she refused to admit it. "I wish we didn't have to go home soon."
"Sleep over at my house." Charlie suggested.
"Oh, I don't know..." Averman shook his head. "An intergender sleepover?"
"I didn't invite you anyway." Charlie teased him.
"Let him come, he can keep the english teacher company." Luis smiled.
"You guys don't have to be so mean to her." Jordan said. "She's our friend, so it's different."
"We're not being mean." Charlie assured her. "We tease all of our friends. Just ask Averman." He said, giving the red head a noogie. "I don't know if we can let you keep her company, though." Charlie said to Averman. "Her boyfriend might not like it." Stacy and Jordan looked at Charlie.
"What are you talking about?" Stacy asked him.
"Isn't that Scooter's jersey she's wearing?" Charlie looked at Rebecca who was getting ready to do a song.
"Yes." Stacy replied. "He gave it to her when they got their new uniforms."
"But they don't go out?"
"Nope." She said. "He certainly did get over Julie, though, didn't he?"
"Guess so." Charlie laughed.
"Testing." A loud piercing noise came from the microphone as Rebecca adjusted it. "Sorry." She smiled. "You all ready for some music?" She asked, smiling wildly. Charlie, Luis, and Averman stood up and cheered, along with some other men who were in the room. Music began to play and Rebecca began to sing. "Hearts go astray, leaving hurt when they go."
"Oh no..." Stacy sighed.
Rebecca continued to sing, full of energy, very theatrical. "I went away, just when you needed me so. Filled with regret, I come back beggin' you. Forgive, forget, where's the love we once knew? Open up your eyes, then you'll realize, here I stand with my Everlasting Love. Need you by my side, girl to be your bride, you'll never be denied Everlasting Love. From the very start, open up your heart, be a lasting part of Everlasting Love." Rebecca jumped down off of the stage and into the audience. She waved her hands, signalling for the guys to stand up as she danced around them, still singing. "Real love will last forever, Real love will last forever, Where life's river flows, no one really knows, Till someone's there to show, The way to lasting love, Like the sun that shines, endlessly it shines, You always will be mine, it's eternal love, When other loves are gone, ours will still be strong, We'll have our very own everlasting love." She continued on to sing the chorus, while dancing with the guys who all wore big smiles on their faces. Jordan and Stacy had their heads burried in their hands, half out of embarrassment, and also, hiding their laughter. When the song ended, the room erupted in laughter and applause and Rebecca returned the microphone to the stage. "Thank you." She smiled, and curtsied.
"You should let her do karaoke more often." Charlie laughed, wiping a tear from his eye.
"If you only knew." Jordan shook her head as she continued laughing. She stood up and grabbed Charlie by the hand. "How about that sleep over?" She headed towards the door.
"We're leaving?" Averman pouted.
"Let's go." Stacy stood up and pulled Luis along with her.
"What sleepover?" Rebecca chased after them.
