Well since I didn't stick to my word I am posting up at least two chapters today (" hope you like 'em... There will also be four songs listed in this chapter. If you would like to listen to any of them I will have them labled with a link at the bottom of this chapter.

Disclaimer... how many times to I have to tell you that I don't own them... I only own the people you don't recognize.

"Hello, Ali. Daddy couldn't buy you a knew outfit. I mean I swear I saw that in last years American eagle magazine." I said with my biggest pouty dog face.

"What ever you want to think. Oh and hi Alex. I like your name. Heard better. But I have heard worse." Said Ali, the witch with a capitol B, as looked at me.

"Ali, I would like you to meet my boyfriend. Alex." I sent Spot a look to play along. Good thing he's the king of looks because it he didn't get it, boy would I be screwed.

"Your boyfriend?" Ali looked dumbfounded.
"Yeah, you gotta problem with that?" Spot said putting his arm around my shoulders.

"Girls! Time to start." Ms. Jenson said trying to stop things from going out of hand.

"Sp...er Alex you just wait here until I'm done." I pointed to a chair for him to sit in and quickly hurried over to my assigned piano.

Today in our class was a test day so I had to make sure not to mess up in front of Spot. We each got an hour to practice then it would be Ali's turn first, then Marrisa's, then Maggie's, and lastly mine.

After the longest hour of my life, Ms. Jenson told us all to stop and to take a seat. I quicky sat in between Alex and Marrisa and looked up at Ali who was stationed at the grand piano in the center of the class.
Ali quickly started off playing her own version of Pachelbel's "Canon" and was doing an amazing job until the end where she messed up the tempo. I secretly smiled when I heard her loud and clear mess up. Marrisa was next and she performed Nocturne In E Minor Op. 72, No. 1. Just after her performance, Spot leaned over to whisper in my ear, "Wow, that girl is amazing." I nodded back at him, we all knew that Marrisa was the best in the class.
Next it was Maggie's turn and she performed Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli's version of "La Fille aux cheveux de lin." She messed up more times that Ali but that was expected. She rarely showed up to class anymore because she was to busy hooking up with guys. She was one not to get involved with.

Now it was my turn and my hands would not stop sweating. I was performing Camille Saint-Saëns' The Carnival of the Animals: the Aquarium. It was a very difficult peice but I knew that I had it mastered. Behind Marrisa I was probably the best in the class, saying that I practiced most days when I got home from school. After I finished Spot, being the idiot he is, stood up and whistled. I turned bright red from pure embarasment. I quietly took my seat and quickly zoned out Ms. Jenson's saying how great of a class we had today. I knew that it was a good class, I mean I had mastered Camille Saint-Saëns... not many people can do that.

After we were dismissed I quickly pulled Spot over to the side, got my bag, and sprinted over to the elevator. Once we got in Spot started the questioning.
"Why didn't yah evah say that you could play like that? Tha's amazin'."
"Well, I mean I have been playing since I was five. So i guess I'm just trained to."
"Still, you're good."
"Thanks Spot, for... everything."
"Any time doll. So wheah we goin' now?"
"Uhm. Singing." I said looking up at Spot guiltily. The elevator doors opened and I dragged him into my special sound-proof room. There I waited for Ms. Jenson to usher all of the girls from piano out and for her to arrive.

"Kenze! Sorry that took me so long." I nodded in understanding. "And who's this?"
"Oh, this is Alex. He is going to be staying with me so I invited him to come out with me today." It was Ms. Jenson's turn to nod now.
"Well, Great to meet you Alex, I am just going to ask you to please sit over there, and not disturb this lesson."
"Yes ma'am." Spot said in all politeness.

Ms. Jenson then walked over to her piano and I stood next to her, my paper in hand.
"Let's warm up then."

--&--

"Ok. Now, let's try out this song. From the top." I looked at Spot nervously and waited for my cue to begin.

"Where ever I go
Far away and anywhere
Time after time, you always shine
Through dark of night, calling after me

And whenever I climb
Far away and anywhere
You raise me high, beyond the sky
Through stormy night, lifting me above

Venite Spiritu et emitte caelitus
Venite Spiritu et emitte caelitus
Venite Spiritu, venite Spirtus

Far away, beyond the sky

Whenever I cry
Far away and anywhere
You hear me call when shadows fall
your light of hope, showing me the way

And Whenever I climb
Far away and anywhere
You raise me high, beyond the sky
Through stormy night, lifting me up high

Venite Spiritu et emitte caelitus
Venite Spiritu et emitte caelitus
Venite Spiritu, venite Spirtus

Far away, beyond the sky"

"Just brilliant Kenze. Now for your more, uhm, upbeat song." Ms. Jenson said getting an acoustic guitar out. I ruffled through my papers still thoroughly embarrassed that I just had to sing in front of Spot Conlon.
"Got it." I said as I finally found the right paper. Again, I waited for my cue.

"Yesterday,
All my troubles seemed so far away,
Now it looks as though they're here to stay,
Oh, I believe in yesterday.

Suddenly,
I'm not half the man I used to be,
There's a shadow hanging over me,
Oh, yesterday came suddenly.

Why she
Had to go I don't know, she wouldn't say.
I said,
Something wrong, now I long for yesterday.

Yesterday,
Love was such an easy game to play,
Now I need a place to hide away,
Oh, I believe in yesterday.

Why she
Had to go I don't know, she wouldn't say.
I said,
Something wrong, now I long for yesterday.

Yesterday,
Love was such an easy game to play,
Now I need a place to hide away,
Oh, I believe in yesterday.

Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm."

"Again, brilliant. Well, your hour is up, time to go."
"Thank you Ms. Jenson."
"Any time dear." I picked up all of my papers and walked over to Spot ushering him into the elevator.

"You ah a good singer too, you know that?" I laughed a bit at his comment.
"Yeah I'm sure, now let's go."
