Okay This time I was just being a loser and not writing : ) I wasn't feeling it. Now I'm forcing myself to feel it.
"Why you always wanna criitsize my style?" Greenlee sang.
"I don't critisize you." Newt interjected.
"The things I do I
got my reasons why.
And why you wanna get down on the clothes I
wear
The Way I flip the color of my hair"
"It's very special."
"Cause I'm very
special
I'm Very very special
You've got to recognize me for
me
I can motiviate you
Lift up, accelerate you
Just know I'm
so completely unique."
"So unique."
"I know you've never
met somebody different like me.
My style is so unique but,
You're the freak."
They were trying something different. Greenlee had taught Meena to play guitar and with Stickler on Keyboards, Greenlee and Newt could sing a duet. They actually sounded really good together. Meena watced the two dance around as the sang and had to hold in laughter. They were both so goofy. The dancing didn't even match the music anymore. She was doing the robot and he was attempting the running man.
"I see you kicking
back and chillin
Think you're style's the best." Newt pretty
much rapped. That broke it. Greenlee burst out laughing, which made
Meena and Cory laugh, finaly Stickler joined it.
"We need to get through a song you guys." Meena said as the laughter died.
"Okay, but can we do something that doesn't mean Rapping for Newt? It just sounds so... odd." Greenlee shook her head. Newt rolled his eyes at her, but smiled.
"Then what do you suggest?" He asked.
"Umm... I don't know..." Greenlee shrugged, jumping off of the mini stage they had built and plopping on the Futon. After Newt's family moved they had started practicing at Greenlee's place. "My girl likes to party all the time, party all the time, party all the ti-ime." She sang. "Oh! I got it!" She cried, rolling off the Futon and hurrying to her Computer. She quickly typed some stuff in and turned up the volume.
"Uptown
girl
She's been living in her uptown world
I bet she never
had a back street guy
I bet her mama never told her why
I'm
gonna try for an uptown girl
She's been living in her white bread
world
As long as anyone with hot blood can
And now she's
looking for a downtown man
That's what I am
And when she
knows what
She wants from her time
And when she wakes up
And
makes up her mind
She'll see I'm not so tough
Just
because
I'm in love with an uptown girl
You know I've seen
her in her uptown world
She's getting tired of her high class
toys
And all her presents from her uptown boys
She's got a
choice." Greenlee sang along with the music and danced around a
bit.
"That's uptown girl..." Stickler raised an eyebrow.
"Well
yeah, but with some tweaking it can be a duet." Greenlee smiled
"I'm gonna try for an uptown Guy
He's been living in His
white bread Life
As long as anyone with hot blood ticks
And
now He's looking for a downtown Chick
it's gotta stick." She
improvized.
"Sounds good to me." Newt shrugged.
"Let's do it." Meea smiled and they got to work.
"Uptown
girl
She's been living in her uptown world
I bet she never
had a back street guy
I bet her mama never told her why "
Newt sang and they were off on their song.
After rehearsal everyon packed up and Stickler left. Newt and Greenlee went out soon after, they were planning on going to the movies then the Liberry.
Meena and Cory settled on the Futon and turned on the TV. While Cory sat quietly, watching the old Blues Brothers movie Meena was thinking.
It was their senior year. Next week was their last spring break together. It was one of the most depressing things Meena ever felt. She didn't want to graduate and leave her friends. She wanted to stay with them. At least have one last adventure. She wanted to do something to celebrate making it to senior year.
If only she knew what.
"I'm gonna head home." Cory yawned, getting up.
"Okay Cory, I'll talk to you tomorrow." Meena smiled, following him up stairs to the door.
"See you." Cory turned to kiss her. Then he opened the door to find Newt and Greenlee there, kissing. They pulled apart as soon as they saw Cory and Meena, eyebrows quirked.
"Umm... we were just coming in." Greenlee blushed, pulling Newt in by the hand. They headed downstairs.
"Something wrong?" Cory asked Meena, who'd been staring with a far away look in her eyes.
"No not really." Meena lied shaking her head.
"You're lying." Cory said knowingly.
"No I'm not." Meena insisted.
"Meena, I know You. Something's bothering you I know it."
"I'll tell you tomorrow." Meena promised, kissing him again. "Goodnight Cory." Cory shrugged and headed off, making a mental note to call Meena in the morning.
She headed downstairs to find Greenlee in the bed and Newt on the pulled out futon. Newt was already snoring, but Greenlee was sitting up and playing a game on her phone.
"Greenlee..." Meena whispered as she dug for pajamas.
"Yeah?" Greenlee didn't bother to whisper.
"Do you ever get nervous about graduation and going to college? I mean, what if we never see each other again?" Meena asked.
"That's not going to happen." Greenlee said confidently.
"How do you know?" Meena nearly whined.
"Because Meena, we're all going to be living in my basement at the rate we're going." Greenlee joked.
"It's not funny Greenlee, I'm serious."
"Don't worry about it Meena. We're not going to grow apart. We're closer than friends. We're sisters, as for the boys, I don't think Cory would let you go any sooner than he'd give up playing the drums." Greenlee assured her friend, then snuggled under the covers, making sure she left room for Meena and closing her eyes.
Meena sighed and turned the TV back on. It was an ad for jeans, which gave her the perfect idea...
