Hey people! Okay, to all my faithful reviewers...
xioalinwind- Thanks for the support! I could really use it later on!
amanda- Actually, no he's not going to sing his own theme song. I thought about it, but then I thought, Nah! Sorry.
Anyway, this next chapter takes place later that day. It will be from Robin's POV. Coincidentally (cough, not, cough) she and Ryan are trying out at the same time. Just for the record, I forgot to mention that Ryan wears his cap backwards with some of his brown hair sticking out from the front. And he can be a real dork.
Anyway, on with the story!
The song in this chapter will be 'Skater Boy,' by Avril Lavgne.
Robin's POV (what did I tell ya? sorry, shutting up now)
I'm walking to the theater, C.D. in my pocket, guitar slung over my shoulder, ready for my try-out for the talent show. Weird thing is Ryan Conway was following me.
There was once a rumor going around that he liked me. Gross. I mean, sure he's kinda cute, and the new kid, but his best friends were Raimundo and Jake. What's the bet that he's not a jerk like them? About 99 to 1.
My band, who found out that he plays bass, want me to use that to my advantage for him to join. No way, I had said. If he wants to join, he can audition just like everyone else.
Anyway, he was following me to the theater, and it was seriously creeping me out. No one had bothered to mention that he was a stalker.
Finally, I turned around to face him. I expected him to stop in his tracks, but he walked right passed me, and through the doors that led to the theater. Raising my eyebrow, I followed him.
I don't have a clue to where he went, but I walked directly to Ms. Shanning. I heard footsteps behind me, and realized that Ryan was following me again.
Shrugging off the feeling that he was stalking me, I notified her that I was here, and took my place on stage. Giving Judy the C.D. I said, "I will be singing, 'Skater Boy.'
I held my guitar, and waited until Judy gave me the thumbs-up. There was a drum roll, and I started to play. A few beats and...
"He was a boy.
She was a girl.
Can I make it any more obvious?
He was a punk.
She did ballet.
What more can I say?
He wanted her.
She'd never tell, secretly she wanted him as well.
But all of her friends.
Stuck up their nose.
They had a problem with his baggy clothes.
He was a skater boy.
She said see you later boy.
He wasn't good enough for her.
She had a pretty face.
But her head was up in space.
She needed to come back down to Earth.
Five years from now.
She sits at home.
Feeding the baby, she's all alone.
She turns on the T.V.
And guess who she sees.
Skater boy rockin' on M.T.V.
She calls up her friends.
They already know.
And they've got tickets to see his show.
She tags along.
Stands in the crowd.
Looks up at the man that she turned down.
He was a skater boy.
She said see you later boy.
He wasn't good enough for her.
Now he's a super star.
Slammin' on his guitar.
Does your pretty face see what he's worth?
He was a skater boy.
She said see you later boy.
He wasn't good enough for her.
Now he's a super star.
Slammin' on his guitar.
Does your pretty face see what he's worth?"
There were a few more beats like the first on my guitar.I noticed that along with Ms. Shanning, Ryan was also sitting and watching me. 'What's he doing here?' I thought. There was no time to ponder that question, because I had to sing again.
"Sorry girl but you missed out.
Well tough luck that boy's mine now.
We are more than just good friends.
This is how this story ends.
Too bad that you couldn't see.
See the man that boy could be.
There is more than meets the eye.
I see the soul that is inside.
He's just a boy.
And I'm just a girl.
Can I make it any more obvious?
We are in love.
Haven't you heard?
How we rock eachother's world!"
I stretched the last word so that it lingered a few more seconds.
"I'm with the skater boy.
I said see you later boy.
I'll be backstage after the show.
I'll be at the studio.
Singing the song we wrote.
About a girl you used to know.
I'm with the skater boy.
I said see you later boy.
I'll be backstage after the show.
I'll be at the studio.
Singing the song we wrote.
About a girl you used to know."
The song had ended, but I still had the notes on my guitar for about three more seconds, then I cut it off.
Ms. Shanning applauded. I took a bow. When I came back up, Ryan was grinning at me.
"Well Miss Bird," Ms. Shanning addressed me, "you have made it passed try-outs."
I smiled. Part of it was because she likes to speak so formally. I always thought it was kinda funny.
"Though may I ask one thing?" There she goes again.
"Sure," I shrugged.
"You have always been a great musician, have you not?"
"Well, I don't like to brag, but-"
"And a modest one at that," she smiled. "But why is this your first time auditioning?"
That's a weird question.
"Why haven't you auditioned for years like you friend Miss Kimiko?"
"I don't know," I shrugged again. "I guess I've just been busy with the band. We're still looking for someone who can looking for bass." Even as I said it, I wish I hadn't. I felt Ryan's eyes burning a hole on the back of my head.
"Oh well," she said, oblivious to how I felt uncomfortable with Ryan staring at me like that. "You are free to go, or stay and watch Mr. Conway's audition."
I was going to leave, but Ryan caught hold of my arm, and whispered, "Stay. I want to talk to you."
'And the weird just keeps on coming,' I thought. 'Oh well. It's either this or have him hunting me down all day.' I took a seat a little ways away from Ms. Shanning. 'This should be good.'
He didn't have an instrument with him, but he looked confident as he handed Judy the C.D.
What did ya think? Now that I have an entire week off of school, I am so focused on updating a lot faster. Like I said before, if anyone likes a song that they want to have shown, send me the title, artist, and a small situation that would fit it. Right now I'm gonna get started on the next chapter. Ciao 4 now!
