Listening To The Chan Clan Part 2
Stephanie looked at the framed photograph on her older brother's nightstand.
"Anne Chan? Wally," Stephanie reprimanded. "I should not have to remind you that she already has a boyfriend!"
"Are you saying that that groovy tomboy is out of my league, Steph?" Wally asked.
"No," Stephanie told Wally truthfully. "what I am saying is, Anne is taken!"
At Quicksilver High School that very same morning, Merilee Wheeler stopped Wally in the hall just before English class.
Merilee saw all the pictures of Anne on the inside of Wally's locker.
"How come you have pictures of another girl besides me on the inside of your locker, Wallace Gerald McDivers?" Merilee asked, she was jealous of Anne.
"Don't take it so personally, Merilee," Wally said. "but I want Anne to return the same affection that I have for her."
"WHAT AFFECTION?" Merilee asked Wally, jealousy now turning to fury.
Over at the Worldwide Talent Agency, Mr. Socrates was listening to a different recording by the Chan Clan.

Over at Winston Prep Academy, it was at recess as Henry, Stanley, Suzie, Anne, Tom, and Alan all got their musical instruments ready.
"Okay, Henry," Suzie called out. "let's begin."
Everyone on the playground and the surrounding areas came around to hear Henry's melodious voice.
Henry: When I was just a boy;
My daddy said to me;
You know the apple shouldn't fall;
Too far from the family tree;
Countless generations;
Hang their hopes on you;
Ages of tradition;
Depend on what you do;
I'm the number one son;
I'm the number one man;
The number one hope of my family clan;
Gonna be like my dad;
Any way that I can;
I am;
I'm his number one son;
The first born of my father;
It makes me feel so glad;
Whenever people tell me;
You're just like your dad;
Out of all the fathers;
I'm glad that I got mine;
Out of all my brothers;
I'm the first in line;
I'm the number one son;
I'm the number one man;
The number one hope of my family clan;
Gonna be like my dad;
Any way that I can;
I am;
I'm his number one son;
Someday in the future;
When my dad is gone;
I know that he'll go happy;
Knowing that his name lives on;
When I am a father;
I only hope someday;
My first born;
Will turn to me;
And I'll hear him say;
I'm the number one son;
I'm the number one son;
I'm the number one son;
I'm the number one man;
The number one hope of my family clan;
Gonna be like my dad;
Any way that I can;
I am;
I'm his number one son;
I'm his number one son;
I'm his number one son;
I'm his number one son.
Alan & Tom put their instruments back into their cases and took their lip balms out of their pockets.
