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

What happened to my life

Turned upside down

Chicks dat blew ya mind, ding, it's the second round

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

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.
