Chapter 22: Talent Show!
It's been two weeks now since we've been back from Mexico. During the past 2 weeks at school, Sora and I have been acting more like a couple. People were talking about it and the cheerleaders were crying with tears pouring out of their eyes. We just ignored the Sora told me that he'd always get sick of the cheerleaders swooning over him. We walked into Health class hand-in-hand together. Namine, Roxas, and Riku were happy, but Selphie, surprisingly wasn't in a hyper mood.
" Hey, cheer up, Selphie! We still have the talent show to do. Remember what the three of us girls are doing?" I said trying to cheer her up.
" Yeah, it's nice to just do something with just us girls." Selphie grinned.
" Selphie's right. Ever since I started going out with Roxas and ever since Sora and Kairi got to know each other, we haven't spent that much time together. But this time, the three of us are under the spotlight!" Namine said excitedly.
" Yeah, you guys are going to get the crowd going." Riku complimented us.
" So, what're you guys doing, you never told us." Sora asked.
" It's a surprise." I said playing with Sora's hair. " You'll find out tonight."
(A/N: I'm just going straight to the talent show now 'cause nothing exciting happens in school.)
That night at the school
Everyone was getting ready for the talent show. It wasn't a "talent contest," they were just doing this for fun and also to give those who didn't make it in Romeo and Juliet a chance to be on stage. I looked in the mirror and ran a brush through my auburn hair. I hope I don't blow it again like I did in the play. Namine and I helped Selphie do her hair since she wanted to do something so complicated that it took two people to do it. Roxas was cosplaying as Jesse McCartney for some reason and had brought a stereo with him.
" Oh my gosh! Is that Jesse McCartney?!" Selphie began to get over excited.
" Um… Selphie…" I began to warn her.
" JESSE!!!!!!!" Selphie ran up to Roxas and embraced him.
" Selphie, it's me, Roxas." Roxas gave her a weird look.
" Oh."
" Okay, let's finish your hair." Namine sighed.
We finished up Selphie's hair after a few minutes. Sora had his guitar with him. Riku had a CD with him and was going to put it in Roxas's stereo. Eventually, the talent show began. The first act was going to be Axel, Demyx, and Xemnas doing a skit from one of the scenes from Spongebob. (A/N: I forgot to mention I'm also obsessed with Spongebob!) They didn't literally dress up as the characters, but they were dressed up in campout clothing. The skit started. It was funny, they then came to my favorite part.
" So, what else do you do fro fun besides eat marshmallows." Xemnas said grumpy.
" Well, after a nice day of camping, it's time to relax with a nice campfire song. I call this one, The Campfire Song Song." Axel said a he began playing a guitar.
Axel:
Lets
gather around the campfire
And sing our campfire song
Our
C-A-M-P-F-I-R-E S-O-N-G song
And if you don't think that we can
sing it faster then you're wrong
But it'll help if you just sing
along
Demyx:
Pam Pam Pam...
Axel:
C-A-M-P-F-I-R-E
S-O-N-G song
C-A-M-P-F-I-R-E S-O-N-G song
And if you don't
think that we can sing it faster then you're wrong
But it'll help
if you just sing along
C-A-M-P-F-I-R-E S-O-N-G
song
Demyx!
Demyx:
Song!
C-A-M-P-F-I-R-E...
Axel:
Xemnas, good!
It'll help
It'll
help
If you just sing along!
O Yea!!
Everyone cheered at the end of the song and then the skit ended. I really liked that skit. I even sang along with the Campfire song. The announcer came back onto the stage and announced the next act. It was Roxas! We cheered as Roxas walked onto the stage with a stereo and a remote. The announcer gave him the microphone and he began to talk into it.
" Hey everyone! Okay, any of you Jesse McCartney fans out there you'll love this! I'm going to sing his newest single, Right Where You Want me." Roxas said. All the girls began to scream, including Selphie, Namine, and I. The music came on and Roxas sang.
Girl,
there's
something bout me that you outta know.
I never felt the need to
lose control.
Always held on back and played it slow.
But not
this time.
Baby took a chance,
so I can handle
anything.
Baby,
take me on a journey.
I've been thinking
lately,
I could use a little time alone with you.
Crazy,
let's
do something, maybe.
Please don't take your time,
you got
me,
right where you want me.
Girl,
I'm gonna let you
have your way with me.
When you move like that,
its hard to
breathe.
I never thought that it could be like this,
but I was
wrong.
Baby took a chance,
so I can handle
anything.
Baby,
take me on a journey.
I've been thinking
lately,
I could use a little time alone with you.
Crazy,
let's
do something, maybe.
Please don't take your time,
you got
me,
right where you want me.
Can't explain it,
how you
swept me off my feet, unexpectedly.
In slow motion,
my
imagination running trying to keep my body still,
I can hardly
stand the thrill.
Baby took a chance,
so I can handle
anything.
Baby,
take me on a journey.
I've been thinking
lately,
I could use a little time alone with you.
Crazy,
let's
do something, maybe.
Please don't take your time,

me,

Everybody was just standing up and cheering all over the place. I guess they must've really liked Roxas's act. He actually sounded and looked like the real Jesse McCartney!. Roxas said thank you and went back stage. Namine congratulated him and gave him a kiss. Riku was next. They didn't say what was singing. Riku went and put a CD into the stereo that was still on the stage. Riku turned on the music and he flicked his silver hair as he began to sing. He said he was singing, "I'm too Sexy."
I'm
Too Sexy
Right Said Fred
I'm too sexy for my love too sexy
for my love
Love's going to leave me
I'm too sexy for my
shirt too sexy for my shirt
So sexy it hurts
And I'm too sexy

New York and Japan
And I'm too
sexy for your party
Too sexy for your party

Everybody had their jaws wide open, but then cheered. Riku then took the stereo off of the stage and backstage again. The announcer came back and announced who would be the next person. It was Sora! I gave Sora a kiss and wished him good luck. He grinned and then walked out with his guitar. Sora positioned the microphone so that way he could play his guitar and then sing into the microphone.
" Hey, everyone. While I was on Spring Break, I finally said 'I love you' to a very special girl for the first time. And I'd like to dedicate this song to her. It's called Redemption." Sora began to play.
Four
A.M. two hours to go
I'm wearing out a lonely glow.
I miss you
more than I could know.
Here I am, here I am,
won't you get
me?
I've got my hands on redemption's side
Whose scars are
bigger than these doubts of mine.
I'll fit all of these
monstrosities inside
and I'll come alive.
With my fist down
at your feet
I was running out of mysteries
Insecure and
incomplete, here I am, here I am,
won't you get me?
My
fears have worn me out
My fears have worn me out
My fears have
worn me, worn me.
The crowd stood up and cheered for Sora. He grinned and walked backstage. He pulled me into an embrace and then gave me a passionate kiss, but it didn't last long because we were next. Selphie, Namine, and I put head microphones on us because we didn't want to hold a real one. We put the microphones on us and then walked out on stage. I turned on the mic and began talking.
" Everyone, this song is, 'Kiss the Girl' by Ashley Tisdale and we're singing this because this relates to what us and our current boyfriends went through when we couldn't admit our feelings to each other." I said and then the music began to play.
("girl"-Kairi only)
("girl"-Selphie and Namine only)
("girl"-all three of them)
There
you see her
Sitting there across the way
She don't got a lot to
say
But there's something about her
And you don't know why
But
you're dying to try
You wanna kiss the girl.
Yes, you want
her
Look at her, you know you do
It's possible she wants you
too
There's one way to ask her
It don't take a word, not a
single word
Go on and kiss the girl (kiss the
girl)
Shalalalala
My oh my
Looks like the boy's
too shy
Ain't gonna kiss the girl
Shalalalala
Ain't that
sad
it's such a shame
Too bad, you're gonna miss the girl
go
on and kiss the girl (kiss the girl)
Nows your
moment
Floating in a blue lagoon
Boy, you better do it soon
No
time will be better
She don't say a word
And she wont say a
word
Until you kiss the girl (kiss the girl)
Shalalalala
My

The crowd cheered as the song ended and the crowd cheered for us. We went backstage and the guys congratulated us on our performance. The talent show finally ended and we all enjoyed the refreshments they had in there. They had good stuff like cookies, sodas, you name it.
Later, the party ended and we all left. Sora decided to give me a ride home. Once he dropped me off, I gave him a kiss and then went inside. What a night! I was so bushed now. I just went upstairs to my room and fell onto my bed. I just decided to get into my pajamas and climb into bed, but I couldn't stop thinking about the fact that Sora dedicated that song to me. I sighed as I thought about it. Sora was such a wonderful guy and would have hatred on anyone who hated him. I lay on my bed and began to remember the day we first met.
Flashback
I was talking to my friends about how Axel almost asked me out. He was like, the hottest guy in 9th grade. The five-minute bell rang and we had to go to first period, but then I realized that I forgot my textbook at m,y locker. I walked over to my locker and grabbed my textbook before going to first period, but then, I only had one minute to get to class! I was going to be tardied! I began to run a bit, but instead, I bumped into someone! I was about to fall back, but the person grabbed my hand and prevented that from happening.
" Are you okay?" the person asked. I looked and up and saw the most beautiful blue eyes I had ever seen.
" Y…Yeah. Thanks. You must be new, right?" I asked while putting my hair behind my ears.
" Yeah. I'm Sora. I transferred here from Traverse Town. So, what do you go by?"
" Kairi." I said while shaking Sora's hand. " Well, I'd give you a proper introduction, but I'm already late.
" Okay, well nice meeting you, Kairi." Sora grinned and then walked to class. I just wanted to melt after seeing his grin. I then walked to class.
End of flashback
I wondered why we never hung out after that. Oh yeah, Sora told me that he secretly liked me and didn't want me to find out until the perfect time, which was in Mexico. I can't believe it took him 3 years to tell me! Well, it doesn't matter now, because I'm happy, he's happy, and we're a couple now.
Author's Note: Hope ya'll liked that chapter! I hope you liked the songs that were mentioned in the chapter! I'd like to thank Anais05 for helping me pick songs for the students to sing. Oh, and the skit Axel did in the talent show, I based that off of a video I saw on YouTube. Anyway, review if you want the next chapter.
