Singing my Song
Disclaimer: I don't own any of these charters or story. You know the rest by now.
I walk to the nurses room. How am I
supposed to act or look sick? I feel perfectly fine! I got it. I walk
in there crying and she'll give me a pass to get out of classes. I
glad I took that one year of drama club. I knew one day it'd finally
pay off. I close the door, getting her attention.
"Whats is
wrong?" she asks me.
"Umm..." What is wrong with
me? I hadn't thought about that. "My stomach... it's killing
me," I sit down on the bench, holding my tummy tightly for
authenticity.
Okay. I'm going to start crying now. I think of
people who've hurt me, and things that hurt me. Everything wrong with
the world. And I just start crying. It comes so easy. I guess it's
because I have so much on my shoulders right now. How I want Logan so
much. How he doesn't want me. How... Oh god, I'm hysterical now. I
can't stop it. I just keep crying and crying. Through my tears I see
the nurse look at me worriedly. i think she's frightened. I probably
look like I'm going to die.
"You can go to your room. I will
call your teachers and tell them what's wrong. Ok? I just need your
name so I can get your file," she asksme.
"Umm...Dana..."
I say, feigning a weak voice. "Cruz." I then add, realising
there could be more than one Dana in school.
"I have got to stop crying" I tell myself. "I have just got to stop." Why can't I stop? I take a deep dizzying breath. And then another one. Shouldn't it have worked by now? I take a last one. I look it the mirror. My make up is totalled. I head to the sink and wash my face. I take another deep breath, feeling that if I keep breathing deeply I'll probably faint. I walk dejectedly back to my room
I sigh and sit down on the edge of my bed. What to do? I change into my black shorts and red and black tanktop. My eyes wander to the time, surprised at the time. It only said 1:06, which means I have to stay in here for almost six hours until I meet 2cute4U. I layon my bed. Maybe I can get some rest? Yesterday I hardly had any. laying my head down and closing my eyes, all I can see is one image printed on the back of my eyelids - Logan walking away with that look on his face. The one he only gets when he's hurt and/or confused. Today was the first day I've ever seen him look or feel like that and it was most likely a first for many others.
I wonder if it had anything to do with me? No it couldn't... Why would it? I feel so bad for him. but what about me? I called him baby (or was it boo. I don't know.) I still just can't belive I did that. It just... it felt so right. Right? No it was everything OTHER than right. It was horrible. No it was perfect. Oh my God! I have to stop arguing with myself. It can't be a good habit. I try to take these thoughts about Logan out of my head, to clock him out feels easiest. I close my eyes again and feel my eyelids getting real heavy, like lead. I blink once more and then just turned off the train of conscious thought.
(Page Break)
I wake up and look to my clock. It says 3:30. I'd had a little sleep good. Just 30 more mintues till Zoey and Nicole come back from school, assuming that is, that they don't wander off with the lads, then they can help me get ready for my date! 9is it actually you know, a date?) Switching on my radio I put on "Like You" by Bow Wow and Ciara. Not too loud. If I do that someboby might come and complain, and then they'd see that I'm really not sick. I start to sing along with the song, getting caught up in the lyrics, whilst looking through my closet for what I going to wear later.
"I
ain't neva had nobody show me all the things that you done showed
me
And the special way I feel when you hold me
We gone always
be together baby that's what you told me
And I believe it (Cause I
ain't neva had nobody do me like u)
Now
I done been with different kind of girls
Like I done seen em all
but ain't none of them at all (like u)
And I done seen the best of
the best
Baby still I ain't impressed cause ain't none of them at
all (like u)
If you know how I feel when I chill
If I'm seen
with a girl then she gotta be just (like u)
And baby that's the
way I feel
And I got no choice but for me to keep it real
Cause
when we first got together started hanging out you was
Skeptical
at first had to figure out if
I was the kind of guy to try to dog
you out but
I ain't that kind of guy you tried to make me out
You
found out when you turned into my baby
I showed them other
brothers how to treat a lady
I let you drive when I ride that
Mercedes
And I ain't trippin or actin shady cause baby you kno
I
ain't neva had nobody show me all the things that you done showed
me
And the special way I feel when you hold me
We gone always
be together baby that's what you told me
And I believe it (Cause I
ain't neva had nobody do me like u)
And
every time I think about you (I cry)
When you ride when you call
when you come I (ride)
Your love is a-mazing to me
Can't wait
til I see you (I wanna be wit you again)
And every time you're out
on the road (I make a trip)
And whenever I'm doing a show (Don't
you forget)
That I'm your (main chick)
Who got that (game
chick)
One and the (same chick)
The one you can hang with"
I'm
seriously getting into the song now. I'm singing and dancing around
like Nicole on sugar. I'm having so much fun. My cell phone rings
and, albeit reluctantly, I pause the song and go to pick it
up.
"Hello?" I ask curiously. I couldn't be bothered to
check caller ID.
'Heya Dana. It's Zoey."
"OK. What's
up?" I want to know why she's calling... Tut. In the middle of
my song as well!
"Nicloe kept on telling me to call you to
tell you that we'll be there soon. She didn't want you to fall alseep
because... I'm gonna let her do the explaining ok, you know
Nicole."
"K?" I'm very confused. That's Nicole's
fault, she is a very confusing girl.
"Dana!" She
squeals into the phone, I hold it at arms length to avoid busting my
ear drums."Well I didn't want you to be sleeping. If you were
sleeping then, when we got there you would have been all tired and
lame and then you wouldn't be up to getting ready for your date!"
She gabbles it, and for some reason I suspect she didn't even take a
breath.
"OK?" I shrug. She talks too much and I hardly
understand what she just said. She gabbles and rambles about things
nobody cares about.
"Well bye," She says. "I have
to go now. The teacher will walk right in and then we'll be in huge
trouble and..."
"Bye Nicole," I roll my eyes, hang
up and put my music back on.
"I ain't neva had nobody
show me all the things that you done showed me
And the special way
I feel when you hold me
We gone always be together baby that's
what you told me
And I believe it (Cause I ain't neva had nobody
do me like u)
Okay when you hit the mall pop tags spend a few g's
(g's)
Hit the runway to a new season (season)
It ain't nothin
it's you the one I care for
Feel like I ain't doing enough that's
when I share more (share more)
I give you this give you that what
you need love (love)
You know I got it holla at me if you need
love (love)
And affection cause i'll be your protection
Kinda
hard job but i'll do it to perfection
And you can tell that I
ain't tryna let you go
I get with you when I can so that's how I
let you kno
And you be trippin cause sometimes I gotta go
But
you the first one I hollared to right after my shows
And I was
trippin in a sense I was tense
From my body loose around you what
imma do without you
I gotta get it together say whateva
Since I
met you my life seems so betta"
I'm all into Bow Wow
part. I have the brush in my hand, I know it seems a little off
character for me but I like bopping to the brush! If I do say so
myself, I'm singing along perfectly. I can't wait to see Logan. No
not Logan, I mean 2Cute4U! Different people Dana. Head out of the
clouds. The door opens and who walks in? You guessed it! It's
Mr.
Logan Reese himself!
