"The paragraph is due by the end of class," Lucas continued, "And talk around the class so you don't all choose the same song."

The classroom all stood up and began to move around. Lucas noticed that October sat still in her chair, as all of her classmates walked around her. A few girls giggled and pointed to October then looked at Lucas and burst into laughter. Lucas watched as October rolled her eyes.

"Hey," Lilly said sitting down beside her.

"I didn't even know you were in this class," October smiled.

"Yeah, I didn't exactly come yesterday," Lilly laughed.

"And why not?" October asked, pretending to be angry.

"I had a dentist appointment," Lilly laughed, "Mr. Scott, otherwise known as my brother knew about it."

"Okay," October laughed.

"Check it out, no cavities," Lilly said opening her mouth wide.

"Impressive," October said raising her eyebrows.

"Hey, Lilly," James said sliding into the seat next to her, "What song are you using."

"Go home James," Lilly said, "I don't know yet. Why what song are you using?"

"Sexy back!" James exclaimed, "But does it fit?"

"Dude, I'm basically your auntie too, don't ask me those things," Lilly laughed.

"What about you new girl, am I bringing sexy back?" James asked.

"Hey, no- no-no she's your cousin man," Lilly said, flicking James.

"You're the October everyone's been talking about?" James said looking her up and down, "Kinda sucks you're my cousin, you're hot."

"Seriously James," Lilly spat, "That's just wrong, go away, just go away, now."

"Sexy back?" October asked, bursting into laughter.

"Yeah, he's kind of a jackass until you get to know him," Lilly smiled.

"So, what song are you using, thought of one yet?" October asked.

"Yeah, it's a song my mom used to sing to me," Lilly sighed.

"What's it called?" October asked.

"It's called I hope you dance. What song are you going to use?" Lilly asked.

"Dare you to move by Switch foot," October replied.

"Hiya!" Kenzie said standing in front of Lilly.

"Hello," Lilly replied, "What song are you using?"

Kenzie smiled wide, "Fergalicious But I ain't promiscuous And if you were suspicious all that shit is fictitious I blow kisses That puts them boys on rock rock And they be lining down the block just to watch what I got."

"So, you are basically saying that you're life's theme song, is that you are a tease, correct?" October said.

"Whatever," Kenzie said snottily before walking away.

"Oh, she is going to slap you at practice today now," Lilly said, trying to hold in her laughter.

The girls then began to write their paragraphs, now that there was only 30 minutes of class left.

My theme song- Lilly Scott

I hope you never lose your sense of wonder
You get your fill to eat
But always keep that hunger
May you never take one single breath for granted
God forbid love ever leave you empty handed
I hope you still feel small
When you stand by the ocean
Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens
Promise me you'll give faith a fighting chance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance
I hope you dance
I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Living might mean taking chances
But they're worth taking
Lovin' might be a mistake
But it's worth making
Don't let some hell bent heart
Leave you bitter
When you come close to selling out
Reconsider
Give the heavens above
More than just a passing glance

I live every single day for my father. Do I really need to say more Luke?

M y theme song- By October Haley Karen Scott

(I took some parts of the song out, left what applies to me)

Everybody's watching you now.
Everybody waits for you now.
What happens next, what happens next
Welcome to the fall out
Welcome to resistance
The tension is here, the tension is here
Between who you are, and who you could be
Between how it is, and how it should be.
Maybe forgiveness is right where you fell

This song has been apart of my life for a few years now. The first time I heard this song was when my best friend Gwyn and I were listening to music in the car, and we both fell in love with it. We had been friends since we were three years old and had gone through everything together. First day of kindergarten, ballet classes, first day of middle school, first day of highschool, first boyfriends, first breakups. Then at the end of grade eight she left. Her parents decided to move to a town 9 hours away, and I have only seen her three time since. We had a big falling out and didn't speak for almost 5 months. It was one of the hardest things I've ever done in my life. I finally was sick of our hostility and decided to call her, and we cried on the phone for over an hour, making my mom as mad as hell when she got the phone bill. Then, now nearing the end of grade 10, I'm even farther away from her then I can really stand. I finally spoke to her on MSN last night, after not talking to her for a few weeks, because of packing and all that fun stuff. I've been so confused lately, but she set me straight like she always has. All she typed to me was, I dare you to move, followed by a little music note, and I knew everything would be fine. We've gone through worse together, from her going through anorexia, to me finding out I have a heart condition, to our other best friend dying in a car accident. She helped me realize that what I'm going through right now, isn't so bad, and life will go on. It always has.
