Chapter 8
Scene 1
"I can't eat," said Ariel as she pushed her tray away.
"Well I can," said John as he grabbed Ariel tray and started stuffing his face with food
"In three hours I could be the laughing stock of the school."
"You are such a drama queen Ariel, maybe you should go into acting instead of singing."
"Oh shut up!"
"Hey guys! I am so hungry! This macaroni looks so good," said Pocahontas as she sat down and started stuffing her face.
"Yeah it really does!" pointed out john, "Ariel tries some," as he shoved it in front of Ariel face.
"I am going to be sick," as Ariel got up and ran to the bathroom, John just sat their laughing.
"Is she going to be okay?" asked Pocahontas
"Yeah she is just nervous for the show tonight and her solo," laughed John
"You're such a jerk!"
"No I am just witty!" stated John
"False alarm," said Ariel as she sat back down
"You will do fine tonight Ariel, you will blow everyone away," reassured Pocahontas
"Thanks Pocahontas, see John that's what a friend says to someone who is obviously distraught!"
Scene 2
"Why did Pocahontas go sit with Ariel and John and not us," said Belle
"I don't know," said Jasmine who was staring off into space
"Is she mad at us? Have we been leaving her out?"
"Sure," said a distant Jasmine
"Hello Jasmine, you their!" said Belle as she was waving her hand at Jasmine face
"Sorry I didn't sleep last night," said Jasmine, "So what did you say?"
"I think I may go join Pocahontas," muttered Belle to herself
"What?"
"Omg, it's him!" said Belle
"Oh that's your hot neighbour, he is rather dreamy," said Jasmine
"Keep your voice down, he might hear you!"
"Why are we whispering," asked Pocahontas who came out of nowhere
"Belle is in love with her neighbour," taunted Jasmine
"Oh that's him, I approve," said Pocahontas
"Guys can we stop staring at him!" exclaimed Belle," He is going to think were weird."
"So Pocahontas, Belle was wondering why you didn't sit with us." Stated Jasmine
"You were wondering too!" exclaimed Belle
"I don't know, why don't we all just sit together," suggested Pocahontas
"Yeah but it's awkward with John there," said Belle
"Really, he is really funny. You should get to know him more," said Pocahontas as she looked over to where he was sitting.
Scene 3
"Who are those three girls over their?" asked Gavin
"The one on the left is Pocahontas, the one in the middle is Belle, and the really pretty girl on the right is Jasmine." Said Aladdin
"The one in the middle lives on my street," said Gavin," She is quite the babe!"
"Yeah she is really nice too, well what I know of her."
"As long as she is as good looking as me that's all that matter!"
"Oh look at that lunch is over," said Aladdin as he ran off, this Gavin guy was quite the arrogant jerk
Scene 4
Belle loved English class; it was her favourite part of the day. And today they were getting assigned a big assignment where they pick a book and teach it to the class. Hopefully she and Ariel would get to work together for this project.
"Belle and Adam" said the teacher
"Great, this will go over well," whispered Belle to Ariel.
"Ariel and Gavin," said the teacher
"I would switch with you if I could," wrote Ariel to Belle
"Thanks," wrote back Belle
"Now get with your partner you have the rest of the class to work." Said the teacher
"So I was thinking we could do 1984," suggested Belle, "I think we would both enjoy it."
"Or you could just read it." Snarled Adam
"No, that's not going to happen!" said Belle
"Then I guess will fail the project."
Belle could not do this project with Adam. She was going to ask the teacher after class if she could work by herself or switch partners. No way was a slacker going to bring down her mark. She had goals and was determined. She was going to get out of this place and make something of herself.
"Miss. Brandon, I wanted to talk to you about the project."
"Oh Belle, I am glad you came. I put you with Adam because he needs some help and I thought you would do him well with your enthusiasm and intelligence for literature. "
"But he won't do any of the work!"
"Oh don't worry he will," said Miss Brandon as she walked out of the room.
Scene 5
After school Ariel was a mess. The concert was getting closer and closer. All she could do was pace around her room. She opened up the music box her mom gave her before she died and the song calmed her down a bit. But even that could not calm her nerves down. She decided to log on to the computer and start her history essay but the minute she logged on someone started talking to her.\
Eric: Hey
She couldn't believe it, it was almost as if he was waiting for her to come online. I wonder what he wants to say to her or maybe he is just being friendly and there was no one better online. Why would an older boy a dreamer as him want to talk to Ariel, a geeky freshman?
Ariel: Hey, what's up?
Eric: Nm u
Ariel: Nervous as hell. I have a concert tonight and I have a solo
She couldn't believe she just told him that. What would he think? She was some kind of arrogant bragger. How could she mess up online? She was such an idiot.
Eric: Really, maybe I will come and watch
Omg he said he might come and watch! Watch her he wanted to come for her Ariel.
Ariel: Yeah if you want to you should it will be a good show. I have to go and get ready. Maybe I will see you tonight.
That was good way to end. But now there was even more pressure! She wasn't going to let that happen. She would do amazing for him. Maybe than he would ask her out for coffee afterwards or something. She was so excited!
Scene 6
"Oh look there is John we should sit with him, "said Pocahontas as her and Jasmine walked into the schools theater.
"Do you have a crush on him or something?" asked Jasmine
"No," quickly replied Pocahontas, "Why would you say something like that!"
"I don't know you just seem to want to spend a lot of time with him."
"I just thought all of Ariel friends could sit together," stated Pocahontas
"Okay just make sure we save a spot for Belle," said Jasmine as she followed Pocahontas
"Hey John," said Pocahontas as she slid right next to him and saw the flowers in his hand, "You brought flowers for Ariel that is so sweet."
"Very sweet," laughed Jasmine and then Pocahontas glared at her.
"I am going to the bathroom. Save my seat for me," said John as he ran away he felt very awkward.
"Is that seat taken?" asked Aladdin with Eric behind him
"Actually it is…" said Jasmine as she turned around and saw it was Aladdin, "Not taken."
"But…" said Pocahontas but Jasmine cut her off
"Move down a few seats we have the whole row," whispered Jasmine
"Where is Belle going to sit?" asked Pocahontas
"Next to you or John, I don't know wherever!"
"Wow Jasmine," laughed Pocahontas
"So is this your brother?" asked Jasmine as she turned to Aladdin
"Yeah this is Eric," said Aladdin than he whispered to Jasmine, "He came to see your friend Ariel, he is always talking about her."
"He is no better he just blabs on and on about you," said Eric who heard everything his brother had said.
"He is just saying that because I embarrassed him," said a nervous Aladdin, "not that I don't like you... I mean like a friend... ummm I am going to the bathroom. "Then he ran out of the theater and Eric just laughed.
"This will be an interesting night," whispered Pocahontas to Jasmine
"Oh," said John when he came back and saw Eric
"Thanks for saving me a seat guys!" said Belle
"We did right next to John," said Pocahontas
"I can move down," said John
"Thanks John!" said Belle eagerly, Pocahontas just glared at her
"I am back," said Aladdin, "What did I miss?"
"Oh I now get it!" said Belle, "I thought it was hoe overs bros Jasmine."
"Belle!" said an embarrassed Jasmine
"I am so confused," said Aladdin
"Welcome to the first choir concert of the year," said Mr. Mitchell
Scene 7
It was now Ariel big moment. She was afraid but excited at the same time. She looked down at the audience and she saw John, he gave her a thumbs up. She saw Belle, Pocahontas, Jasmine, Aladdin, and Eric. He came , he came for her. She walked up to the stage and started to sing.
Can anybody find me somebody to love?
Each morning I get up I die a little
Can barely stand on my feet
Take a look in the mirror and cry
Lord what you're doing to me
I have spent all my years in believing you
But I just can't get no relief, Lord!
Somebody, somebody
Can anybody find me somebody to love?
"Whoot go Ariel! " said John
I work hard every day of my life
I work till I ache my bones
At the end I take home my hard earned pay all on my own -
I get down on my knees
And I start to pray
Till the tears run down from my eyes
Lord - somebody - somebody
Can anybody find me - somebody to love?
"She has such a beautiful voice," said Eric
(she works hard)
Everyday - I try and I try and I try -
But everybody wants to put me down
They say I'm goin' crazy
They say I got a lot of water in my brain
Got no common sense
I got nobody left to believe
Yeah - yeah yeah yeah
"She is really good," whisperd Belle to Pocahontas
Oh Lord
Somebody - somebody
Can anybody find me somebody to love?
Got no feel, I got no rhythm
I just keep losing my beat
I'm ok, I'm alright
Ain't gonna face no defeat
I just gotta get out of this prison cell
Someday I'm gonna be free, Lord!
Find me somebody to love
Can anybody find me somebody to love?
When Ariel stopped everyone smiled and applaused. She felt great, she wasn't scared anymore about singing in front of people anymore. She looked down at Eric and nodded to her. She blushed, he was the reason she did so well, he inspired her.
