Ciel's POV

In the Auditorium(3:10)

Lucina come out with a acoustic guitar and Eri came out with a electric guitar."Ready when you are"Ms. Hayashi told Lucina and Eri. The stage lights turned dim and they started playing.

~Music starts~

Lucina:I wondered through fiction to look for the truth, Buried beneath all the lies

Eri:And I stood at a distance, To feel who you are, Hiding myself in your eyes

Both Lucina and Eri:

And hold on before it's too late
Until we leave this behind
Don't fall just be who you are
It's all that we need in our lives

Eri:And the risk that might break you, Is the one that would save, A life you don't live is still lost

Lucina:So stand on the edge with me, Hold back your fear and see, Nothing is real til it's gone

Both Lucina and Eri:

And hold on before its too late
Until we leave this behind
Don't fall just be who you are
It's all that we need in our lives

Lucina:So live like you mean it, Love til you feel it, It's all that we need in our lives

Eri:So stand on the edge with me, Hold back your fear and see, Nothing is real til it's gone

Both Lucina and Eri:

Hold on before its too late
Until we leave this behind
Don't fall just be who you are
It's all that we need in our lives

Hold on before its too late
Until we leave this behind
Don't fall just be who you are
It's all that we need in our lives

It's all that we need in our lives
It's all that I need in my life

~Music Ends~

Once they finished the song everybody was whistling and clapping. I was also clapping for them. I turned to Add and saw him also clapping for them.

"Were you impressed?"I asked Add.

"Impressed enough to clap for them"Add said in annoyed voice.

"Can I have band four come up please"Ms. Hayashi said.

"Well let's go"I said to Add.

"Yeah"Add said as he followed me. When we got to the back of the stage we saw Lucina and Eri leaving the stage.

"You guys were amazing"I told Lucina.

"Thanks"Lucina said.

"I wish you guys the best of luck"Eri said in a clam voice.

"Yeah...thanks"Add said as he left to go get ready.

"We'll meet you guys down there in a few mins"I told them.

"Cool"Lucina said has they left to go sit down. I followed Add and waited for him to finish getting ready.

"Stop flirting with Lucina and just ask her out on a date"Add told me with a serious voice. After he said that my face started getting a little red.

"I was just being polite"I said.

"Yeah, right"he said as he walked out onto the stage. He was going to play on the electric guitar and I was going to play on the drums. I sat down on the seat and got the drumsticks. Add stood next to the microphone with the guitar.

"Ready when you are"Ms. Hayashi tells us. Add turned to me and I nodded at him saying that I'm ready. Then he nods at me that he's also ready. The stage lights turned dim and Add started singing and playing the guitar slow.

Add:

If you just walked away
What could I really say?
Would it matter anyway?
Would it change how you feel?

~start playing the drums~

I am the mess you chose
The closet you cannot close
The devil in you I suppose
Cause the wounds never heal

But everything changes
If I could
Turn back the years
If you could
Learn to forgive me
Then I could learn to feel

Sometimes the things I say
In moments of disarray
Succumbing to the games we play
To make sure that it's real

But everything changes
If I could
Turn back the years
If you could
Learn to forgive me
Then I could learn to feel

~little solo~

When it's just me and you
Who knows what we could do
If we can just make it through
The toughest part of the day

But everything changes
If I could
Turn back the years, If you could

Learn to forgive me
Then I could
Learn how to feel
Then we could
Stay here together
And we could
Conquer the world
If we could
Say that forever
Is more than just a word

If you just walked away
What could I really say?
And would it matter anyway?
It wouldn't change how you feel

~music stops~

People around the Auditorium started clapping for us including Lucina and Eri. I made eye contact with Lucina and smiled at her. I put down the drumsticks and went to stand next to Add. When we were next to each other we bowed to the audience then went off the stage. Add went to go put the guitar away then walked to our seats.

"You guys were great"Lucina told us.

"Thanks"I said.

"I loved the song you guys played"Eri said to us.

"Yeah, whatever"Add said. While we were talking the other group was getting ready to play.

"Ready when you are"Ms. Hayashi told the boy with the guitar. He slowly started playing the guitar then started singing.

Boy:

First things first
I'ma say all the words inside my head
I'm fired up and tired of the way that things have been, oh ooh
The way that things have been, oh ooh
Second thing
Second, don't you tell me what you think that I can be
I'm the one at the sail, I'm the master of my sea, oh ooh
The master of my sea, oh ooh

I was broken from a young age
Taking my sulking to the masses
Write down my poems for the few
That looked at me took to me, shook to me, feeling me
Singing from heart ache from the pain
Take up my message from the veins
Speaking my lesson from the brain
Seeing the beauty through the

You made me a, you made me a believer, believer
(Pain, pain)
You break me down, you build me up, believer, believer
(Pain)
I let the bullets fly, oh let them rain
My life, my love, my drive, it came from
(Pain)
You made me a, you made me a believer, believer

Third things third
Send a prayer to the ones up above
All the hate that you've heard has turned your spirit to a dove, oh ooh
Your spirit up above, oh ooh

I was choking in the crowd
Living my brain up in the cloud
Falling like ashes to the ground
Hoping my feelings, they would drown
But they never did, ever lived, ebbing and flowing
Inhibited, limited
'Til it broke up and it rained down
It rained down, like

You made me a, you made me a believer, believer
(Pain, pain)
You break me down, you built me up, believer, believer
(Pain)
I let the bullets fly, oh let them rain
My life, my love, my drive, it came from
(Pain)
You made me a, you made me a believer, believer

Last things last
By the grace of the fire and the flames
You're the face of the future, the blood in my veins, oh ooh
The blood in my veins, oh ooh
But they never did, ever lived, ebbing and flowing
Inhibited, limited
'Til it broke up and it rained down
It rained down, like

You made me a, you made me a believer, believer
(Pain, pain)
You break me down, you built me up, believer, believer
(Pain)
I let the bullets fly, oh let them rain
My life, my love, my drive, it came from
(Pain)
You made me a, you made me a believer, believer

~music finishes~

People started clapping for him. He bowed then left the stage.

"What did you think about him?"I asked Lucina.

"Not bad at all"she said.

"In 5 mins we'll announce the winner who will become the school musicians" Ms. Hayashi told everybody.

"Why don't we all go get something to drink?" I offered the girls.

"Sure"Lucina said. We all got up and went to the vending machine outside the Auditorium. We all got Ice Tea and started drinking some before heading back.

"Who do you think the winner's are going to be?" I asked.

"Who knows?"Eri said.

"Well lets hope it's one of us"Lucina said.

"They're going to announce in 2 mins"Add told us.

"Okay, lets start heading back"Eri said as she started heading back. We all went back inside the Auditorium and sat down in our seats.

"Is it me or is Eri being less social the before?"I asked Lucina.

"She said that for some reason Add's has been staring at her for awhile"she told me.

"He usually doesn't stare at people and minds his own business"I told her.

"Do you think he's falling for her?"she asked me.

"They would make a cute couple"I told her.

"Okay everybody, we going to announce the winners"Ms. Hayashi said. I turn to Lucina and Eri how where holding each others hands. Then I turned to Add and saw him just seating there, holding his breath.

"Everything will be alright"I tell Add as pat him on the back.

"Okay the winners are"Ms. Hayashi said.

"..."

"..."

"Group 4"she said. Both Add and I stood up and high-five each other. I turn to Lucina who was smiling at me but also had a sad face.

"And Group 3"Ms. Hayashi finished saying. "You guys are going to compete again in 20 mins to see who will become the final winners"Ms. Hayashi said. Both Add and I turned to Lucina and Eri and smiled at them.

"Congrats on also winning for now"I said to Lucina and Eri.

"You too"Lucina said,"See you guys in 20 mins for the finals."
