"How was school today?" May asked. I dropped my backpack and fell on my bed.
"Ok," I said.
"I see," she said "what was Lelouch talking to you about?" I knew it. She saw me talking to Lelouch.
"Nothing," I said. She sat on my bed.
"Tell me," she said "I know you're lying." I sighed.
"He wanted to apologize," I replied.
"Did you let him?" she said.
"No," I said "I would never forgive him."
"You liar," she said. We both laughed.
"Whatever," she said "man, I hate these uniforms." I went to my wardrobe and got my favorite outfit. (A black shirt with one white stripe, a half jacket the ones that goes to my waist, denim jeans with holes on the knees, and a white hat)
As I was about to take off my shirt, Suzaku came in.
"What the?!" he said.
"SUZAKU!!" I yelled "get the hell out!!" May shoved him out.
"Sorry!" he said "we gotta hurry. We gotta get to the stadium in 10 minutes!!"
"Ok, ok," I said "I'm almost done." I'm in a band called 18th Grace. I'm the lead singer and electric guitar, my friend Max (guy) is bass, Bella's the piano/ mixers, and Zac's the drums. Suzaku's our manager. All of our friends from school are going. Even though I told Suzaku not to, he also invited Lelouch. Suzaku and I quickly got into the car, got the others, and headed off to the concert.
(At the Concert)
We sold every seat in the stadium!! Suzaku and the rest of us were back stage.
"Good luck," he said. We hugged.
"Thanks," I replied. We heard the announcer (a.k.a Rivalz)
"Ladies and Dudes of Ashford Academy!" he yelled "Plz welcome one of the greatest bands in the world, 18th Grace!!" Everyone started yelling. The band ran out to the stage. The Student Council was in the front row, even Lelouch.
"Hey, guys," I said "to start off the night we wanna sing a song from a legendary band, Paramore." They all screamed. (Paramore was our idols. They are awesome!!"
CrushCrushCrush-Paramore
I got a lot to say to you
Yeah, I got a lot to say
I noticed your eyes are always glued to me
Keeping them here
And it makes no sense at all
They taped over your mouth
Scribbled out the truth with their lies
You little spies
They taped over your mouth
Scribbled out the truth with their lies
You little spies
Crush
Crush
Crush
Crush, crush
(Two, three, four!)
Nothing compares to a quiet evening alone
Just the one-two of us, who's counting on
That never happens
I guess I'm dreaming again
Let's be more than this
If you want to play it like a game
Well, come on, come on, let's play
Cause I'd rather waste my life pretending
Than have to forget you for one whole minute
They taped over your mouth
Scribbled out the truth with their lies
You little spies
They taped over your mouth
Scribbled out the truth with their lies
You little spies
Crush
Crush
Crush
Crush, crush
(Two, three, four!)
Nothing compares to a quiet evening alone
Just the one-two of us, who's counting on
That never happens
I guess I'm dreaming again
Let's be more than this now
Rock and roll, baby
Don't you know that we're all alone now?
I need something to sing about
Rock and roll, hey
Don't you know, baby, we're all alone now?
I need something to sing about
Rock and roll, hey
Don't you know, baby, we're all alone now?
Give me something to sing about
Nothing compares to a quiet evening alone
Just the one-two of us, who's counting on
That never happens
I guess I'm dreaming again
Let's be more than
No, oh
Nothing compares to a quiet evening alone
Just the one-two of us, who's counting on
That never happens
I guess I'm dreaming again
Let's be more than
More than this
Ohoh ohoh ohoh
Oooh...
Everyone shouted.
"Thank you!!" I said. "Now it's time for our #1 hit, Get Up!!" Everyone shouted.
Get Up
Verse 1:
You never get to do anything cool in your life.
You gotta get back up, but if you do you better do a thing right.
You made a mistake and now you don't know what to do.
If you don't have a clue, here's a tip or two.
Chorus:
Get back up and go play.
It's the best thing to do on a boring day.
Get back up and go play.
You need to play every single day hey yeah.
Oh yeah yeah.
Verse:
Just remember you only have one life to do anything.
So you better start trying to get back up and try something new.
You hurt yourself once and didn't know what to do.
Just do what you do and get a tip or two.
Chorus:
Get back up and go play.
It's the best thing to do on a boring day.
Get back up and go play.
You need to play every single day hey yeah.
Oh yeah yeah.
Verse 3:
So get back up and make the rest of your life.
Show the world what you do best.
So go and show the world what you can do.
If they don't know what to do, give them a tip or two.
Chorus:
Get back up and go play.
It's the best thing to do on a boring day.
Get back up and go play.
You need to play every single day hey yeah.
Day yay yay!
Day yay yay!
GET UP!!
Everyone shouted. As we finished up the concert, the Student Council came backstage.
"You guys were great!" yelled Shirley.
"Thanks," said Max.
"I'm exhausted!!" I said "I'll be right back." I walked away. I picked up my electric and headed to my music chamber. It's just a room in the stadium with a piano, couches, and a flat screen. The band and I like to hang out here. I went to the piano and played the lullaby again. Suddenly, Lelouch came in.
"What do you want Lelouch?" I asked in an angry way.
"Look," he said "I know you're mad at me and I know you won't forgive me." He grabbed my shoulder. I didn't take his hand off. I just focused on playing the lullaby.
"You still remember the song?" he said.
"How can I forget, my parents sang that to me every night," I said.
"But do you remembered what that song did?" he asked.
(Flashback: 7 Years Ago)
Lelouch and I were walking in a garden. Talking about stuff. We sat down near a fountain.
"Clarissa," he said "I have something to give you."
"What is it, Lelou?" I asked.
"Close your eyes," he said. I closed them. He put a box on my hand. I opened my eyes. I opened it. It was a heart shaped locket. The box played the lullaby.
"Lelouch," I said "it's beautiful."
"There's more," he said. I closed my eyes again. Suddenly, I felt his lips touch mine. My eyes went wide open. Then, I closed them again.
"Of course I remember," I said "I never forgot."
"I see you're still wearing it," he said. He kneeled down as I turned around on the chair.
"What do you want from me Lelouch?" I started to cry a bit. He wiped my tears away with his hands. He kept them on my cheeks. Then, his soft lips touched mine. My eyes wide open. I haven't kissed him in 7 years. I parted from him.
"Lelouch," I said "I can't. You already love someone. I can't come between you and Shirley."
"Clarissa," he said "I don't love her. I love you. I've loved you ever since our first kiss.Shirley's just my friend."
"But," I said. He put his finger on my lips. He kissed me again. This time, I fell for it. My hands grabbed his hair. His grabbed my waist.
Shirley was by the door. She heard everything. She saw everything.
