CHAPTER 6
Ten weeks they were given and ten weeks were up as the gang now entered their black and white music classroom. Everything was set up. The microphones, stands, stools were all set up on a stage at the back of the classroom and the classroom was set up like an assembly hall. There was even a hi-fi system beside the stage in case the students have recorded their work and some members were missing.
Not knowing what else to do, the class sat down with their friends instead with their groups. Soon the official Music Teacher, Mr Evans entered the room and stood on the stage. The students stopped chatting and gave him their full attention.
"Welcome to the final day of your Music Project where you have to perform the music live. You will be graded that will go to your report, and the top five will perform it live in the assembly and there will be a small prize to those who are in the top five. Your songs will go to the BBC Radio and the manager will find the best one and the singer of that song will go the BBC workshop where they will spend at least two weeks to perform a video clip."
All the girls 'ooh' and 'aah' at the sound of the prize except one girl as she continued to gaze at the Music Teacher. Beside her was a duplicate of Tala except his hair was brown and not red.
"OK. Who would like to go first?" he asked.
There was a few raise of hands up in the air and Mr Evans pointed to someone. That someone happened to be Tenebrae. Once she got up, so did Tala and Kai and they went up to the stage and got ready as the crowd began to clap softly.
Once the band was set up and Ten was in front of the microphone facing the audience, Ten signalled for the music to start.
Yeah-eahhh,
hmmmm
yeaaahhh
Chorus:
I'm not your every day,
around the way
Don't go bar-hoppin', chillin' on the block
On
a cell phone frontin',
Never that, cuz I'm not that kinda girl
I
need to know how you roll
And how you get down, no drama
Drop
my money in the bank
Take me home and meet your mama
Can you
handle that?
Cuz I'm that kinda girl
I'm that kinda
girl
Verse 1:
Boy you aint impressin' me
With
your jewelry, your designer clothes
Or the games that you try to
play
Think you need to know, I got my own
Dont need you for
your dough
Hearin' me, maybe then we can flow, let me know
Make
me smile, maybe we can chill
Keep it real, show me something I
can feel
Cause I'm not your average ordinary type
Could you
be that kinda guy I like?
Chorus
Verse:
2
Everytime I be up at the spot, chilling with my crew
We'll
be hanging out, get in a little late
You start bugging out
I
dont think it's fair
You don't like the clothes I wear
How I
do my hair
I don't really care
But it's not for you
And I
aint got nothin' to prove
There cant be any us, if there can't be
any trust
Nothin' to discuss, no doubt
I'm not that kinda
girl to let you play me out
Chorus
BRIDGE:
You
might take me shopping, but I'm not your property
If I dont like
it, I decided
I can make it on my own
As long as we disagree
to agree
Down for you and you're down for me
Baby I'm what you
want and we can build a love so strong
Chorus
Oooh
Oooh Oooh Oooh
Not That Kinda Girl
Oooh Oooh Oooh Oooh
Not
That Kinda Girl
Oooh Oooh Oooh Oooh
Do you know what kinda girl
I am?
Oooh Oooh Oooh Oooh
I'm that kinda girl
ooohoohh-yeaaahh
The crowd erupted into loud applause as the first group took their bows and left the stage. Slowly, bit-by-bit, the groups all took their turns, including Anya's that involved Vivien and Max.
How
can you see into my eyes like open doors?
Leading you down into my
core
where I've become so numb
Without a soul
My
spirit's sleeping somewhere cold
until you find it there and lead
it back home.
(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I can't
wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
Call my name and save
me from the dark
(Wake me up)
Bid my blood to run
(I can't
wake up)
Before I come undone
(Save me)
Save me from the
nothing I've become.
Now that I know what I'm without
You
can't just leave me
Breath into me and make me real
Bring me to
life
(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I can't wake
up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
Call my name and save me
from the dark
(Wake me up)
Bid my blood to run
(I can't wake
up)
Before I come undone
(Save me)
Save me from the nothing
I've become
Bring me to life
I've been living a lie
There's
nothing inside
Bring me to life
Frozen inside without
your touch
without your love darling
only you are the life
among the dead
All of this time I can't believe I couldn't
see
Kept in the dark but you aint never follow me
I've been
sleeping a thousand years it seems
got to open my eyes to
everything
Without a thought
Without a voice
Without a
soul
Don't let me die here
There must be somthing
wrong
Bring me to life
(Wake me up)
Wake me up
inside
(I can't wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
Call
my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up)
Bid my blood to
run
(I can't wake up)
Before I come undone
(Save me)
Save
me from the nothing I've become
Bring me to life
I've been
living a lie
There's nothing inside
Bring me to life...
Smiling happily, Rayne clapped the loudest along with Kai who still has his emotionless mask on. Next up was Kane, a blue-headed spiky boy and Salima, an Asian girl with Rei and Tyson.
Intro: Kane
Yeah...
Uh huh
So seductive
Chorus: Kane & Salima
Kane
I take you to the candy shop
I'll let you lick the lollypop
Go 'head girl, don't you stop
Keep goin 'til you hit the spot (whoa)
Salima
I'll take you to the candy shop
Boy one taste of what I got
I'll have you spending all you got
Keep going 'til you hit the spot (whoa)
Verse 1: Kane
You can have it your way, how do you want it
You gon' back that thing up or should i push up on it
Temperature rising, okay lets go to the next level
Dance floor jam packed, hot as a teakettle
I'll break it down for you now, baby it's simple
If you be a nympho, I'll be a nympho
In the hotel or in the back of the rental
On the beach or in the park, it's whatever you into
Got the magic stick, I'm the love doctor
Have your friends teasin you 'bout how sprung I gotcha
Wanna show me how you work it baby, no problem
Get on top then get to bouncing round like a low rider
I'm a seasoned vet when it come to this shit
After you work up a sweat you can play with the stick
I'm tryin to explain baby the best way I can
I melt in your mouth girl, not in your hands (ha ha)
Chorus
Bridge: Kane & Salima
Girl what we do (what we do)
And where we do (and where we do)
The things we do (things we do)
Are just between me and you (oh yeah)
Verse 2: Kane
Give it to me baby, nice and slow
Climb on top, ride like you in the rodeo
You ain't never heard a sound like this before
Cause I ain't never put it down like this
Soon as I come through the door she get to pullin on my zipper
It's like it's a race who can get undressed quicker
Isn't it ironic how erotic it is to watch em in thongs
Had me thinking 'bout that ass after I'm gone
I touch the right spot at the right time
Lights on or lights off, she like it from behind
So seductive, you should see the way she winds
Her hips in slow-mo on the floor when we grind
As Long as she ain't stoppin, homie I aint stoppin
Drippin wet with sweat man its on and popping
All my champagne campaign, bottle after bottle its on
And we gon' sip til every bubble in the bottle is gone
Chorus 2x
Chorus: Kane & Salima
Kane
I take you to the candy shop
I'll let you lick the lollypop
Go 'head girl, don't you stop
Keep goin 'til you hit the spot (whoa)
Salima
I'll take you to the candy shop
Boy one taste of what I got
I'll have you spending all you got
Keep going 'til you hit the spot (whoa)
Robert and Enrique were paired up with Amber and Alexia and Iris and since Robert didn't like singing or do any sort of music in front of people, the CD player played their song.
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Eve
Come together all over the world
From the hoods of Japan, Harajuku girls
What, it's all love
What, give it up
What (shouldn't matter 4x), what
Come together all over the world
From the hoods of Japan, Harajuku girls
What, it's all love
What, give it up
What (shouldn't matter 4x)
If I was a rich girl (na, na...)
See, I'd have all the money in the world, if I was a wealthy girl
No man could test me, impress me, my cash flow would never ever end
Cause I'd have all the money in the world, if I was a wealthy girl
Think what that money could bring
I'd buy everything
Clean out Vivienne Westwood
In my Galliano gown
No, wouldn't just have one hood
A Hollywood mansion if I could
Please book me first-class to my fancy house in London town
All the riches baby, won't mean anything
All the riches baby, won't bring what your love can bring
All the riches baby, won't mean anything
Don't need no other baby
Your lovin' is better than gold, and I know
If I was rich girl (na, na...)
See, I'd have all the money in the world, if I was a wealthy girl
No man could test me, impress me, my cash flow would never ever end
Cause I'd have all the money in the world, if I was a wealthy girl
I'd get me four Harajuku girls to (uh huh)
Inspire me and they'd come to my rescue
I'd dress them wicked, I'd give them names (yeah)
Love, Angel, Music, Baby
Hurry up and come and save me
All the riches baby, won't mean anything
All the riches baby, won't bring what your love can bring
All the riches baby, won't mean anything
Don't need no other baby
Your lovin' is better than gold, and I know
Eve
Come together all over the world
From the hoods of Japan, Harajuku girls

Come together all over the world
From the hoods of Japan, Harajuku girls
What, it's all love

What (shouldn't matter 4x)
What happened to my life
Turned upside down
Chicks dat blew ya mind, ding, it's the second round
(Original track and ting, mmm)
You know you can't buy these things (no)
See Stefani and her L.A.M.B., I rock the Fetish
People, you know who I am
Yes ma'am, we got the style that's wicked
I hope you can all keep up
We climbed all the way from the bottom to the top
Now we ain't gettin' nothin' but love
If I was rich girl (na, na...)
See, I'd have all the money in the world, if I was a wealthy girl
No man could test me, impress me, my cash flow would never ever end
Cause I'd have all the money in the world, if I was a wealthy girl
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na

Time went by and nearly at the end of the lesson it was Rayne and James' turn. They looked at each other before getting up and making their way up to the stage. Several 'good luck' were heard but majority went to James since half of the class doesn't know the FBI soldier. Rayne didn't care and got the microphone ready.
Taking a deep breath, when everything was silent, Rayne began to sing:
Have you ever been lost in a different world
Where everything you once knew
Is gone
And you find yourself powerless
With everything that exists
You're numb
Will I ever break free
I searched my world but I can't find you
You're standing there but I can't touch you
Try to talk but the words are just not there
I can feel a sense of danger
You stare at me like I'm a stranger
Paralysed and you don't seem to care
The demons in my dreams
If you become a nobody
Blind, to your family
Who would you be?
And life has gone into reverse
Re-living every hurt
Along the way
Everything that you fear is calling you and drawing near
I searched my world but I can't find you
You're standing there but I can't touch you
Try to talk but the words are just not there
I can feel a sense of danger
You stare at me like I'm a stranger
Paralyzed and you don't seem to care
The demons in my dreams
Wake me up and let's go, yeah
I'm about to explode
Yeah
I searched my world but I can't find you
You're standing there but I can't touch you
Try to talk but the words are just not there
I can feel a sense of danger
You stare at me like I'm a stranger
Paralyzed and you don't seem to care
The demons in my dreams
The last note was heard and soon the whole crowd cheered, whistled, clapped and screamed, much louder than they did to Ten's. Rayne blushed faintly at the affection but wasn't sure it was for her or for James but she felt a soft tap behind her and turned to a smiling J. Reluctantly, Rayne returned the smile.
"OK. Now I've chosen the top three according to the audience vote by your applauses," the Music Teacher chuckled. "In rank number three we have Anya, Vivien and Max. In rank number two we have Tala, Kai and Ten and in rank number one, we have RAYNE AND JAMES, everybody!"
Rayne's heart jumped at the announcement and had to flinch at the level noise. The bell rang through the commotion and everyone got up and left the room and headed to their home. This time next week, the top three would be singing live and the chosen one will go to the BBC workshop. Rayne couldn't wait as she smirked, walking down the streets.
TBC…
