There was a knock on Hailie's door. "Um... hello?" She turned the CD down. (she had been practicing her scales since the dance started in fifteen minutes.
"It's me, Odd!" Came the reply.
"Go away!" She almost screamed.
"It's got nothing to do with... um... you know..."
"Really?" She asked sarcastically. "What is with you guys?"
"You never answered me! I asked you to go to the dance with me!"
"No!"
"Why not?" Odd opened the door. She wore a pair of jeans with a pair of white skater shoes and blue ties. Her shirt was white, but red in blue letters: "the voices in my head aren't real, but they sure have some good ideas..." Her hair flowed freely.
"Because the whole time your going to question me about this Lyoko business. I won't answer you, because this is none of your business!"
"It became our business when we went and started saving the world!"
"After you turned XANA back on. That freaking computer thing that freak Hopper created-"
"How do you know all this?!"
"I- I just do!" She was on the verge of tears. "Damnit! Why can't you people let me do what I'm supposed to be doing here? If I don't-" She stopped herself.
"Hailie... how?"
"I can't tell!" She turned around, her long hair flipping behind her in a wave of gold. Odd couldn't resist thinking about how cute she was.
"Why?"
"Because you all are going to complicate everything!"
"Hailie, we want to help you!"
"Then I'll think about it, just leave me alone!"
"'Kay... see you at the dance..." He left the room.
The Dance
"Today we have two bands, a DJ, and a singer performing at our dance," Principle Delmas announced. "Our first band is..." He paused dramatically. "Suspicious Package, performing five songs!"
The audience cheered, then Hailie spoke: "Hey all! Our first song is 'Get This Party Started' by a band called Pink!" The audience cheered, then the music played and Hailie sang.

The whole gym started to dance, and most of the girls were singing along with the song.
"Odd! What did she say?" Ulrich called.
"She's thinking about it!" Odd yelled back over the roar of the crowd.

The principle blinked at the curse word, but no one else seemed to mind. Hailie was enjoying herself.

"Next will be a song called 'Missundaztood, by 'Pink' again!"
I
might be the way everybody likes to say
I know what you're
thinking about me
There might be a day you might have a certain
way
But you don't in my luxuries
And its me, I know I know
my name
Cuz I say it proud
Everything I want I always do
Lookin' for the right track
Always on the wrong track
But
all you're catchin' are these tracks that I'm
layin' down for you
Everyone cheered in recognition to the song and awe in Hailie's vocal skills. The crowd was going crazy; everyone screamed and danced like crazy.
There's
a song I was listenin' to up all night
There's a voice I am
hearin' sayin' its alright
When I'm happy, I'm sad, but
everything is good
Its not that complicated I'm just
missundaztood
There might be a day everything, it goes my way
Can't you think I know I'm superfly?
I might see the world in
a world inside of you
Then I just might say goodbye
And its
my name I know, I say it loud cuz I'm
really proud
Of all the
things I used to do
Cuz its the wrong track
Lookin' for the
right track
And all you're catchin' are these tracks that
I'm
layin' down for you
More people were arriving and cheering.
There's
a song I was listenin' to up all night
There's a voice I am
hearin' sayin' its alright
When I'm happy, I'm sad, but
everything is good
Its not that complicated I'm just
missundaztood
There's a song I was listenin' to up all night
There's a voice I am hearin' sayin' its
"MKay peoples, next is one of my personal favorites-" (she had to pause cuz everyone was cheering so loud.) "-'Just Like A Pill' by Pink!"
I'm
lyin' here on the floor where you left me
I think I took too much
I'm crying here, what have you done?
I thought it would be
fun
I can't stay on your life support, there's a
shortage
in the switch,
I can't stay on your morphine, cuz its making
me
itch
I said I tried to call the nurse again but shes
being
a little bitch,
I think I'll get outta here, where I can
Run
just as fast as I can
To the middle of nowhere
To the middle
of my frustrated fears
And I swear you're just like a pill
Instead of makin' me better, you keep makin' me
ill
You keep makin' me ill
I haven't moved from the spot where you
left me
This must be a bad trip
All of the other pills, they
were different
Maybe I should get some help
I can't stay
on your life support, there's a
shortage in the switch,
I
can't stay on your morphine, cuz its making me
itch
I said I
tried to call the nurse again but shes
being a little bitch,
I
think I'll get outta here, where I can
Run just as fast as I
can
To the middle of nowhere
To the middle of my frustrated
fears
And I swear you're just like a pill
Instead of makin'
me better, you keep makin' me
ill
You keep makin' me ill
Run
just as fast as I can
To the middle of nowhere
To the middle
of my frustrated fears
And I swear you're just like a pill
Instead of makin' me better, you keep makin' me
ill
You
keep makin' me ill
"Yeah, I know, you all love me, but you gotsa be quiet so you can hear that I'm singing 'Shadow of the Day', by Linkin Park."
Explosions of applause rippled through the gym.
I close both locks below the window.
I close both blinds and turn away.
Sometimes solutions aren't so simple.
Sometimes goodbye's the only way.
And the sun will set for you,
The sun will set for you.
And the shadow of the day,
Will embrace the world in grey,
And the sun will set for you.
Pink cards and flowers on your window,
Your friends all plead for you to stay.
Sometimes beginnings aren't so simple.
Sometimes goodbye's the only way.
And the sun will set for you,
The sun will set for you.
And the shadow of the day,
Will embrace the world in grey,
And the sun will set for you.
And the shadow of the day,
Will embrace the world in grey,
And the sun will set for you.
[Guitar solo
And the shadow of the day,
Will embrace the world in grey,
And the sun will set for you.
"Next is Suspicious Package's final song for tonight, so give it up for 'Concrete Angel' written by yours truly!" People roared and started to slow dance to the song.
She walks to school with a lunch she packed
Nobody knows what she's holding back
Wearing the same dress she wore yesterday
She hides the bruises with the linen and lace, whoa
The teacher wonders but she doesn't ask
It's hard to see the pain behind the mask
Bearing the burden of a secret storm
Sometimes she wishes she was never born
Through the wind, and the rain,
She stands hard as a stone
In a world that she can't rise above
But her dreams, give her wings,
and she flies to a place,
where she's loved
Concrete Angel
Somebopdy cries in the middle of the night
The neighbors hear but they turn out their lights
A fragile soul caught in the hands of fate
When morning comes it'll be too late
Through the wind, and the rain,
She stands hard as a stone
In a world that she can't rise above
But her dreams, give her wings,
and she flies to a place,
where she's loved
Concrete Angel
The statue stands in a shaded place
An angel girl with upturned face
A name is written on a polished rock
A broken heart that the world forgot
Through the wind, and the rain,
She stands hard as a stone
In a world that she can't rise above
But her dreams, give her wings,
and she flies to a place,
where she's loved
Concrete Angel
"Our next band," Principle Delmas announced. "Is Simple Plan!"
I
never could've seen this far
I never could've seen this coming
It seems like my world's falling apart, yeah
Why is everything
so hard?
I don't think I can deal with the things you said
It
just won't go away
In a perfect world
This could never
happen
In a perfect world
You'd still be here
And it
makes no sense
I could just pick up the pieces
But to you
This means nothing
Nothing at all
I used to think
that I was strong
Until the day it all went wrong
I think I
need a miracle to make it through, yeah
I wish that I could bring
you back
I wish that I could turn back time
Cause I can't let
go
I just can't find my way, yeah
Without you I just can't
find my way
In a perfect world
This could never happen
In a perfect world
You'd still be here
And it makes no
sense
I could just pick up the pieces
But to you
This
means nothing
Nothing at all
I don't know what I should
do now
I don't know where I should go
I'm still here waiting
for you
I'm lost when you're not around
I need to hold on to
you
I just can't let you go
yeah, yeah
In a perfect
world
This could never happen
In a perfect world
You'd
still be here
And it makes no sense
I could just pick up the
pieces
But to you
This means nothing
Nothing at all
You
feel nothing, nothing at all
Nothing at all
Next, Carrie Underwood sang one song before she had to get back on a flight back to America.
Yeah, Yeah
What you got if you ain't got love
the kind that you just want to give away
its okay to open up
go ahead and let the light shine through
I know it's hard on a rainy day
you want to shut the world out and just be left alone
but don't run out on your faith
'cause sometimes that mountain you've been climbing
is just a grain of sand
and what you've been up there searching for forever
is in your hands
when you figure out love is all that matters after all
it sure makes everything else seem so small
it's so easy to get lost inside
a problem that seems so big at the time
it's like a river thats so wide
it swallows you whole
while you siting 'round thinking 'bout what you can't change
and worrying about all the wrong things
time's flying by
moving so fast
you better make it count 'cause you cant get it back
sometimes that mountain you've been climbing
is just a grain of sand
and what you've been up there searching for forever
is in your hands
oh when you figure out love is all that matters after all
it sure makes everything else seem so small
sometimes that mountain you've been climbing
is just a grain of sand
and what you've been up there searching for forever
is in your hands
oh when you figure out love is all that matters after all
it sure makes everything else...
oh it sure makes everything else seem so small
Yeah, Yeah
Tristan and Hailie sat down together, and at this point Hailie looked up into her unofficial boyfriend's eyes. "I think I'm gonna let them help me."
I know, it was stupid, but don't kill me!
