chapter 5:

the rest of the week flew by in a flash, and before they knew it, it was 5th hour and time for

them to perform their duets.

First up Ellis and Samuel

they walk up and Samuel grabbed an electric guitar and puts the strap over his shoulder. As

they take their places center stage a beat busts out and Samuel starts to strum the guitar

Ellis begins

So she said what's the problem baby

What's the problem I don't know

Well maybe I'm in love (love)

Think about it every time

I think about it

Can't stop thinking 'bout it

How much longer will it take to cure this

Just to cure it cause I can't ignore it if it's love (love)

Makes me wanna turn around and face me but I don't know nothing 'bout love

Come on, come on

Turn a little faster

Come on, come on

The world will follow after

Come on, come on

Cause everybody's after love

then samuel starts his part.

So I said I'm a snowball running

Running down into the spring that's coming all this love

Melting under blue skies

Belting out sunlight

Shimmering love

Well baby I surrender

To the strawberry ice cream

Never ever end of all this love

Well I didn't mean to do it

But there's no escaping your love

These lines of lightning

Mean we're never alone,

Never alone, no, no

then together they finish their song

Come on, Come on

Move a little closer

Come on, Come on

I want to hear you whisper

Come on, Come on

Settle down inside my love

Come on, come on

Jump a little higher

Come on, come on

If you feel a little lighter

Come on, come on

We were once

Upon a time in love

We're accidentally in love

Accidentally in love [x7]

Accidentally

I'm In Love, I'm in Love,

I'm in Love, I'm in Love,

I'm in Love, I'm in Love,

Accidentally [x2]

Come on, come on

Spin a little tighter

Come on, come on

And the world's a little brighter

Come on, come on

Just get yourself inside her

Love ...I'm in love

Everyone explodes in applause, Samuel hopes his point got across to Marissa but she didn't

seem like she did. He sighed and sat back down next to Lindsay. Then Lindsay realized she

had to change her song. She quickly scooted over to cameron and told him to pick a song.

Cameron was about to ask why but she shushed him and told him to do it fast.

Cameron thought and then he thought of the perfect song. He scooted over to Lindsay and

whispered in her ear

"Can't fight this feeling" He asked. She nodded and Mr. Schue called up the next group

"Alex And Matheus" Mr. Schue called

They went up and posed in matching shirts that said "SLUSHY ME"

the group smiled as they started their song

Matheus began

If I could give you the world on a silver platter Would it even matter? You'd still be mad at me

If I could find in all this a dozen roses Which I would give to you, you'd still be miserable

In reality I'm gon' be who I be and I don't feel no faults For all the lies that you bought You can

try as you may, break me down when I say That it ain't up to you, gonna do what you do

Hate on me, hater, now or later 'Cause I'm gonna do me, you'll be made, baby Go 'head and

hate on me, hater, I'm not afraid of What I got I paid for, you can hate on me

Then Alex busted out into full on diva mode

Ooh, if I gave you peaches outta my own garden And I made you a peach pie, would you slap

me out? Wonder if I gave you diamonds out of my own womb Would you feel the love in that

or ask why not the moon?

If I gave you sanity for the whole of humanity Handed all the solutions for the pain and

pollution No matter where I live, despite the things I give You'll always be this way, so go

'head and

Hate on me, hater, now or later 'Cause I'm gonna do me, you'll be made, baby Go 'head and

hate on me, hater, I'm not afraid of What I got I paid for, you can hate on me

Hate on me, hater, now or later 'Cause I'm gonna do me, you'll be made, baby Go 'head and

hate on me, hater, I'm not afraid of What I got I paid for, you can hate on me

And that's where they finished the song because they didn't have enough time to practice.

But their point came across just as they had planned.

"Hannah and Damian your up next" Mr. Schue told them motion for them to go up.

"Before we begin I would like to dedicate this song to LindsayPearce, the most amazing

person I have ever met. Damian said with a goofy love struck grin on his face.

Marissa nudged Lindsay and then the track began to play

Hannah sang first

When I was younger, I saw my daddy cry And curse at the wind He broke his own heart and I

watched As he tried to reassemble it

And my momma swore that She would never let herself forget And that was the day that I

promised I'd never sing of love if it does not exist

then Damian sang straight to Lindsay

But darling, you are the only exception You are the only exception You are the only exception

You are the only exception

Maybe I know, somewhere deep in my soul That love never lasts And we've got to find other

ways to make it alone Or keep a straight face

And I've always lived like this Keeping a comfortable distance And up until now I had sworn to

myself that I'm content with loneliness Because none of it was ever worth the risk

But you are the only exception You are the only exception You are the only exception You are

the only exception

then Hannah and Damian both belted out killer harmony notes

and Hannah Took on the higher notes

I've got a tight grip on reality But I can't let go of what's in front of me here I know you're

leaving in the morning when you wake up Leave me with some kind of proof, it's not a dream,

oh

And Damian ended the song

You are the only exception You are the only exception You are the only exception You are the

only exception

You are the only exception You are the only exception You are the only exception You are the

only exception

And I'm on my way to believing Oh, and I'm on my way to believing

Everyone gave them a standing ovation and LIndsay went straight up to Damian and Kissed

him. He placed his arms around her and everyone clapped. When they broke the kiss Lindsay

looked up at Damian with loving eyes and then smiled.

"Lindsay, I think I love you" Damian whispered into her ear

"I always loved you Damo" She replied.

They grasped each others hand and sat down in the back row, Lindsay leaning on Damian's

shoulder

"Marissa and Emily you guys have the floor"

Emily flipped her hair and began the song

Like a fool I went and stayed to long

Now I'm wondering if your loves still strong, ooh Baby

here I am signed sealed delivered I'm yours, mmmmmm

then Marissa

then that time you went and said goodbye

no I'm back and not ashamed to cry, oh baby, oh here I am

signed sealed delivered I'm yours ooooohhh

then every other line they switched off.

seen a lot of things in this old world

when I touch them Ha they did nothing girl

here I am signed sealed delivered I'm yours

and finally all together

baby you set my soul on fire

that's why I know your my only desire baby

here I am signed sealed delivered I'm yours.

Marissa directed all her lines at Samuel who was just clapping along and didn't seem to

notice.

They sat back down and announced

"That's all we have time for today, Everyone else will go tomorrow"

and that's how they left, Marissa and Samuel wishing each other knew, Damian and Lindsay

hand in hand, Matheus and Alex proud, Cameron longing, Ellis bored, Bryce and Emily

oblivious, and Hannah smiling and happy for everyone.
