Chapter 6: A Spark of Genius
Scene: The next day, before classes start
"Travis!" Lily exclaimed as she ran down the hall to greet him. As Travis turned he noted the relieved/excited/worried look on her face and proclaimed "Lily! What is it?" "RFR . . . are we still on for tonight?""Most likely, but why?"
"The song. It finally cam to me . . . last night. It was sort of like a sudden burst of genius!"
"Okay then I'll be sure to spread the word . . . "
"Thanks Travis! You have no clue how much this means to me!"
To prove her gratitude, she embraced him in a quick hug, but sprinted off before he could say anything else.
Lily's Thoughts
Wow! Lily can't help but drift off in History, I can't believe how much that talk Travis and I had helped me to gather the lyrics for the song. If it weren't for him I'd still be sulking about a lot of crap!Ray's Thoughts
I wonder why Lily wants us all to do RFR tonight, Ray wonders in English, I just hope she doesn't try to get me back! I know I've been crushing on her for a really long time, but it didn't feel right once we were 'together'."Mr.Brennan, would you kindly tell us what happened in the last sentence that Sally just read?" questioned his teacher.
"Uhhh . . ." Ray mumbled as he scrambled for an idea. But before he came up with an answer the bell rang.
"Well Mr.Brennan, you got lucky this time! But next time DON'T be daydreaming in class!"Scene: After school, preparing for RFR
"So what's this all about?" Robbie wondered aloud."Yeah, what is this about?" Ray repeated.
"You'll soon see." Was the only reply from Lily.
"10 seconds!" Travis called out. "10 ... 9 ... 8 ... 7 ... 6 ... 5 ... 4 ... 3 ... 2 ... 1. This is ..."
"Radio." Robbie continued.
"Free." Lily said with enthusiasm.
"Roscoe." Finished Ray.
Minutes after Robbie had stated his question and several callers had called in, Lily made her big presentation.
"Hey everyone. I wrote a new song yesterday, with the help of a friend." Lily says as she winks at Travis. "It's called Here Alone. Hope you enjoy!" she finishes up as she commences to play her guitar. "Why can't I just clear up this all?Instead of staring down
Like a picture on a wall
I feel so alone
But it's my own fault that I bemoan
Or is it?
Why won't someone else admit
That it was their mistake
Instead of being a fake
And making me ache
Through out all my confusion
I start to think
That my life is an illusion
I feel so alone
But it's my own fault that I bemoan
Or is it?
Why won't someone else admit
That it was their mistake
Instead of being a fake
And making me ache
You keep bringing up the past
And I keep hoping for a future
But that future between us won't last
I feel so alone
But it's my own fault that I bemoan
Or is it?
Why won't someone else admit
That it was their mistake
Instead of being a fake
And making me ache
The one I love
Isn't worth it I know
So why can't I fly away . . . like a dove?
I feel so alone
But it's my own fault that I bemoan
Or is it?
Why won't someone else admit
That it was their mistake
Instead of being a fake
And making me ache
Into his arms I do run
As tears stream down
And the world around me turns cloudy and dun
I feel so alone
But it's my own fault that I bemoan
Or is it?
Why won't someone else admit
That it was their mistake
Instead of being a fake
And making me ache
There is one who I think can help
I just wish he would
Before I yelp
I feel so alone
But it's my own fault that I bemoan
Or is it?
Why won't someone else admit
That it was their mistake
Instead of being a fake
And making me ache
My world is crashing before my eyes
And I cannot guarantee
That I will love the same guy when the sun does rise
I feel so alone
But it's my own fault that I bemoan
Or is it?
Why won't someone else admit
That it was their mistake
Instead of being a fake
And making me ache." Once The song ended the strum the final cord with much enthusiasm.
