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.
