Hey guys I'm so sorry I haven't updated in ages but I had my practice Drama exam so every night I would have to go and practise with my group and then I had to keep up with my other school work too but then it came round to writing some more of my story and me being stupid I had this story on my memory card and it wouldn't let me back on it and I had to re- write the pieces I didn't save. But anyway I'm back and thank you to all the reviewers and thank you to everyone who is reading my story :)
The bell went and me and the gang made it out of history and we started to walk outside, this was where Matt, Will, Cornelia, Irma, Hay Lin and Taranee hung out, they made they're way under a big oak tree and sat down in a circle. I sat down next to Will and Hay Lin and was sat opposite Cornelia.
"So guys who's going to audition for the school show?" Cornelia announced. As she reapplied her lipstick.
"Caleb will audition" Matt began. "He's a great singer, he can act he'd be better than any other guys in this school"
"Oh there steady on Matt I'm not that good" I tried to explain.
"Really" Cornelia asked. "When do you sing?"
"Just in the shower" The girls just laughed.
"No mate you pretty good" Matt began. "You have to try out"
Cornelia caught my eye. "Okay but only if Cornelia does too" Will and Irma cheered.
"Ok, fine I will audition, only because I'll never hear the end of it if I don't" Cornelia laughed. "Its not like any of you haven't heard me sing before"
"Caleb hasn't" Taranee stated.
"Actually he has, he walked in on me singing"
"YOU WHAT!?" Taranee shouted. "Corny you're dating my brother do I have to remind you of that" I don't get why Taranee was over reacting to me listening to Cornelia sing. I was confused to say the least.
Just when Cornelia was going to say something to Taranee I butted in. "Hey Taranee can I have a quick word?"
"Yeah Caleb, sure" She looked a bit shocked and confused, I got up and so did Taranee and we made our way over out of ear shot from the others. "What do you want to talk to me about?"
"Okay, its not Cornelia fault that I heard her sing, I basically walked in, I think she was upset and she was signing and I listened, and that's all that happened. She was upset with Pete"
"But Pete is a good guy….. he's my brother for crying out loud, he wouldn't… hurt her in anyway, he's madly in love with Cornelia"
"Taranee, she has marks from where he grabbed her and when I took her to the nurse, she told me that every time Cornelia goes to see her, she's covered in marks or bruises, and I'm not say that their all from Pete, trust me I think he's alright but I think he can be a bit ruff with her sometimes"
"No" Taranee whispered tears were starting to form in her eyes. "But he loves her, he wouldn't abuse her"
"T I never said that he just holds he a bit tight that's all" I said as I moved over to Taranee and rapped her up in a hug. "Its ok, Corny is safe ok, she wont get hurt anymore, she got her friends and family and Pete" I'll make sure of it.
We made our way back over to the gang; the tension had gone between me, Cornelia and Taranee. But when Taranee sat down she pulled Cornelia into a hug.
"Okay guys when are theses auditions?" I asked to draw the attention away from Cornelia and Taranee when they were having their moment.
"They start after break, does everyone have free's so we can go and watch or audition?" Will answered.
"Yeah that would be great" Me and Matt agreed in unison. The girls just laughed.
The bell went signaling it was the end of break and 3rd period. We got up and made our way to the auditorium. The others were walking in front, Matt and Will holding hands and Irma, Hay Lin and Taranee laughing about Hay Lin's date with Eric Lyndon. Me and Cornelia were left behind walking besides each other, with our shoulders and hands brushing against each other from time to time.
It felt like I was on fire, and I hoped that Cornelia could feel it too. But then I could think like that she was with Pete and I want to be her friend, nothing more. I just need to keep telling myself that.
"Thank you for whatever you said to Taranee Caleb" Cornelia mentioned. "It saves me from defending myself when it comes to Pete; she always gives me talks about not hanging around with boys because Pete will get mad"
"No problem and you should be able to hang around with whoever you want" I said honestly. "Can I ask you a question?"
"Yeah sure"
"How long have you and Pete been going out?"
"For about 2 years or so now, at first he was sweet and kind but now he has become more aggressive, not like himself, I stay with him because I love him and I hope there was the kind caring Pete in there somewhere, but I know he will one day, I think basketball is giving him a bit of a hard time and school" Cornelia sighed. "Have you ever been in love Caleb?"
"Once, I've loved and I've lost but hey that's life." I was not going to tell her that I was falling in love with her.
"Oh, is there a special someone in your life" Cornelia pointed out.
"Yeah, you could say that" I laughed, Cornelia looked at me. Will turned around and winked at me.
"Well you should tell her, or she'll never know"
"But Corny you don't get it, when I seem them together, it stings like hell due to the fact we have something that will never happen"
"So she has a boyfriend, if two people are meant to be together they will eventually find their way back to each other no matter what" If only she knew. I'm afraid to loose her, even though she isn't mine to loose. "Caleb this looks like the start to a beautiful friendship"
"Yeah it really does…Come on then enough of my love life" I said when we got to the auditions. I offered her my arm. "Lets go and see theses suckers perform" Cornelia laughed and followed my lead.
The gang made there way to the stage and I went to see the drama teacher who was sat down on the first row of chairs.
"Hey miss" I said as I approached her.
"You must be Caleb right? You look so much like you father and my husband has told me a lot about you already, you here to audition?"
"Yes miss I am" I replied. Cornelia came up from behind me.
"Hey Mrs Smith, what's the play about?" Cornelia asked.
"Well my dear Cornelia, it's about a young man who falls in love with this women but the young man has a rival and this women has to choose between to two the one she loves or the one she is in love with"
"Cool, the main part is still open right"
"Yes sweetheart and we both know your going to get it" Mrs Smith and Cornelia both laughed. "You want to go up first Cornelia and then you Caleb"
"Sure" We both said in unison, Cornelia was trying to lift herself onto the stage so I went up behind her, with my front pressed into her back, Cornelia turned around so she was facing me and our noses were touching.
"You like catching me in theses positions don't you Caleb" Cornelia joked.
"You're the damsel in distress" I said as I picked her up and placed her on the stage. I lifted myself onto the stage and went into the wings and waited for my turn. Cornelia was holding the microphone stand and she turned her head and winked at me.
"Cornelia you can start now" Mrs Smith explained.
Loving him is like driving a new Maserati down a dead end street
Faster than the wind
Passionate as sin, ended so suddenly
Loving him is like trying to change your mind
Once you're already flying through the free fall
Like the colors in autumn
So bright just before they lose it all
Losing him was blue like I'd never known
Missing him was dark grey all alone
Forgetting him was like trying to know somebody you've never met
But loving him was red
Loving him was red
Touching him is like realizing all you ever wanted was right there in front of you
Memorizing him was as easy as knowing all the words to your old favorite song
Fighting with him was like trying to solve a crossword and realizing there's no right answer
Regretting him was like wishing you never found out love could be that strong
Losing him was blue like I'd never known
Missing him was dark grey all alone
Forgetting him was like trying to know somebody you've never met
But loving him was red
Oh red burning red
Remembering him comes in flashbacks and echoes
Tell myself it's time now, gotta let go
But moving on from him is impossible
When I still see it all in my head
Burning red!
Darling it was red!
Oh, losing him was blue like I'd never known
Missing him was dark grey all alone
Forgetting him was like trying to know somebody you've never met
Cause loving him was red yeah yeah red
We're burning red
And that's why he's spinning round in my head
Comes back to me burning red
Yeah yeah
Cause love was like driving a new Maserati down a dead end street
The crowd that was in the auditorium went wild. Cornelia jumped off the stage and made her way over to the gang.
