hey, look-y here. We updated! Gosh I'm so proud of myself! *giggles* anyways, so here we are:
Disclaimer: no! Who told you I would sell you my DP collectors edition? Oh. Well, I have something to tell. *deep breath* I'm not Kelley Armstrong. *slams door*
Chapter 13 - Last Friday Night, We were Counting Stars - RPOV (I tell you this, it's a friend of Chloe)
I was still puzzling over why Tayler winked at Chloe and what it had to do with Derek when Tayler asked who wanted to go I next. Hands everywhere shot up. A black haired boy, about 17, was called upon. He walked to the front taking both the mic and the iPod from Tayler's hands. As soon as the music started, so did the words. It was also one of my favorites (and mine)
Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard.
Said no more counting dollars,
We'll be Counting Stars.
We'll be Counting Stars.
He clapped his hands together, to the best of his ability, following the fun beat of the song. Almost instantaneously, he was joined by others in the crowd until he had the entire group pounding out the beat. He raised the mic to his lips.
I see this life, like swinging vine,
Swing my heart across the line
In my face is flashing signs:
Seek it out, and ye shall find.
Old, but I'm not that old
Young, but I'm not that bold
And I don't think the world is sold,
We're just doing what we're told.
And I, feel something so right
Doing the wrong thing.
And I,, feel something so wrong
Doing the right thing.
I coulda lied, coulda lied, coulda lied.
Everything that kills me,
Makes me feel alive
He raised his hand as the chorus started and began to move it, as if he were directing a choir. Everyone sang along.
The current singer was a girl dressed as Ginny Weasly, with bright red hair to match. The boy had chosen her, for what reason, I don't know. Maybe he's just seriously nice and wants to give everyone to have a chance, or he knows the girl. Ginny, or whoever she was, picked out a song before turning towards us with a grin that could've challenged Chesire Cat's. When the music hit the room, I cursed Chloe. I mean, really. Who in their right mind listens to Katy Perry?
The girl raised the microphone to her lips, right as the song started. I wished my ears would fall off. Not that the girl was bad, she was actually really good, I just don't really like this particular song.
There's a stranger in my bed
There's a pounding in my head
Glitter all over the room
Pink flamingoes in the pool
I smell like a minibar
DJ's passed out in the yard
Barbie's on the barbeque.
Is this a hickey or a bruise?
She let her eyes widen and throwing her hair over shoulder, she ran a hand along her neck and looked down at it, like she was frightened of what she'd see. People in the crowd laughed at her little scene and she grinned as she adjusted her collar, happy with her findings.
Pictures of last night ended up online
I'm screwed, oh well.
It's a blacked out blur,
But I'm pretty sure it ruled.
Yeah! (worked better than my original supplement)
Last Friday Night,
Yeah, we danced on tabletops
And we had to many shots
Think we kissed, but I forgot
Last Friday Night,
Yeah, we maxed our credit cards
And got kicked out of the bar
So, we hit the boulevard
Last Friday Night,
We went streaking in the park,
Skinny dipping in the dark
Then had a ménage á tois
Last Friday Night,
Yeah, I think we broke the law
Always say we're gonna stop
Oh- oh- oh!
The girl flashed her freaky grin as she pranced through the crowd, making boys go haywire as passed them in her Hogwarts attire. Some girls even joined her, having 'fun' as well. The other girls, the sane ones, just laughed and shook their heads in disbelief at their friends' behaviour. I tried desperately to keep anything that I'd eaten in the last hour down.
"Fancy seeing you here." a boy's voice, and one that I knew well, said from behind me.
"Yeah, just thought I'd drop by. Have some fun, celebrate." I grinned at Simon Bae. He didn't look any different, spiky blonde hair, almond-shaped brown eyes and a ready smile. He was dressed as a carnival magician, including the 'wand' and hat.
"Well, girl, I'm going to guess you invited yourself?" He raised an eyebrow.
"`Course I did! If I didn't, it be a crime! Why wouldn't want to see one of the few people had treated me kindly at that place?" Simon nodded.
"Yeah. I can see that, wanting to see a friend that you hadn't heard anything of for two years." I nodded.
"Well," he stepped away. "This will definitely be a pleasant surprise. Have a great night!" Simon flashed one last grin before being swallowed up by the crowd.
I turned back to the horrific scene before me. Thankfully it was wrapping up.
Last Friday Night,
Yeah I think we broke the law
Always say we're going to stop
Oh- oh- oh!
This Friday Night,
Do it all again!
The song ended and I was put out of my misery. As 'Ginny' called out another person, a girl, I debated once more whether or not I wanted to do the karaoke. The girl walked forward to the 'stage'. Might as well.
And there. We wrapped up Chapter 13. Not to shabby, might I add. And I'm fairly sure Jo gave away the identity. So unless you can't remember all of the Summoning and the beginning of the Awakening, you have no excuse to not know who.
And have I ever told you that I hate writing in italics? Joanna!
J: sorry. *fixes it* happy now?
Very much so.
J: good, 'cause this author's note is ending. Toodles!

D: I didn't agree to this!
