School was a drag.

Like that serious pain in your ass kid that wouldn't stop bugging you about your homework and projects. It really didn't help that I was one of the least known kids in the school. Especially since I came to school today only to find two kids making out right up against my locker. I pushed them away a little and they didn't even notice while I went into my locker and grabbed my Latin book. Thankfully the day would be over soon since I was heading to seventh period.

Most of my classes were terrible since I got stuck with all the worse teachers and my now ex-boyfriend. It was funny how everyone basically forgot who I was since we broke up a week ago. I didn't mind though. Now I wouldn't get all the evil looks from all the envious girls.

I walked into my study hall getting ready to do my Latin homework that was due the next period. Our study halls were filled class rooms that had the wonderful assigned seats. I was so lucky to come in and have the school bad ass and his slut of a girlfriend making out on my desk before the bell rang. Wow that is two pairs of people making out in my way today... what luck.

I walked up to them nonchalantly and spoke up with no regrets or embarrassment.

"Excuse me love birds, but I need my desk. I got homework that I got to do."

They didn't even notice so I just pushed them away so that they fell on their asses on the floor. Serves them right for thinking they could get away with it.

When they finally broke apart, Lissa, the girl, looked up at me like I was the spawn of the devil.

"What the hell was that for?" she screeched in my face. Her voice was a fairly high pitched one too which didn't help my ears much.

"I need my desk, and I think it would be smarter to go do your thing behind the school building instead of in sixth period study hall."

Lissa just looked at me with a pout of a duck face. She was the school's biggest slut in my mind for having made out with most of the boys in the school. She had even given 'lessons' to boys that wanted them, and I'm not talking about kissing. Her fire truck read hair stood out in any crowd and her 'bad boy' boyfriend helped that image as well.

Fang, the bad ass of the school stood by with a passive expression on his face as usual. He was that one guy that almost every girl wanted to date at some point in time. Me? Oh hell no. I wouldn't date him for a million dollars... okay I may do it for that... I'm poor don't judge!

Anyway Fang was not that bad looking, to be honest. His raven black hair hung down in his onyx eyes, which matched his olive toned skin and normally black clothing. His reputation around the school was probably as pure as his favorite color. Most of the rumors told me that he was one of the only kids in the school who had to repeat his senior year in high school so he was at least two years older than me. He also had one of the most expensive cars in school which, in my book, didn't amount to anything but the other kids around me said that he stole it. I would also happen to pass him every time I went to the principal's office in the morning, but in never saw him in detention... when I was there that is... yeah, I skip detention... I got better things to do.

That was the only basis for the better rumors though, all the other ones were ridiculous. Like he was the head of a gang, or he was a drag racer, or he was the guy you wanted to see to get some stuff. Don't ask me how I know all this. It's Iggy's fault. He is like the best info broker at the school.

I sat down at my desk without looking up at the two again, and waited for the boredom of school to end.

.*.*.~9th Period Music~.*.*.

"Alright ladies and gentlemen! What we are going to to for the rest of this week we are going to do your guy's favorite assignment! The theme song assignment!" Mr. Drew said with enthusiasm.

Most of the kids in the classroom cheered. This really was the best assignment of the year. We each got to choose a song and perform it in front of the class. It was a song that had to describe ourselves and the trials that we went through.

Just so I can straighten thing out before you get confused later. Our ninth period class was separated into two parts that the students got to choose. Music or a sport. I was in music with a lot of the other girls that I just so happen to know. Sports were simple, split up into teams according to skill, but the music classes were separated into a Freshmen/Sophomore class, and a Junior/Senior class. The skill didn't have to do with it because we would all critique each other and help each other become better at our place in the musical industry. It actually wasn't surprising that some kids that went here became famous or well known for something or another, but not that many, and you probably wouldn't know their name anyway.

I personally knew exactly which song I was going to sing. Paradise by Coldplay. It was a song that really described how I got through life as a little girl.

"Is there anyone that is ready to go today?" Mr. Drew said pointedly looking me straight in the eye. I smiled to myself and started to raise my hand.

"I'll do it." said someone from behind me.

I turned around to see Fang sitting in the back of the class raising his hand. I hadn't noticed that he was taking the class, after all you would think that the school bad ass would take sport. He stood up slowly as Mr. Drew nodded to him. He walked up to the stage and told Mr. Drew which song that he wanted to sing. Mr. Drew ran over to his computer and started up the song. I recognized it right away and was kinda surprised since Skillet is a christian band. After I really thought about the lyrics though I tried to apply it to him and kinda figured that it was something that he would sing.

Whispers In The Dark

"Despite the lies that you're making
Your love is mine for the taking
My love is
Just waiting
To turn your tears to roses

Despite the lies that you're making
Your love is mine for the taking
My love is
Just waiting
To turn your tears to roses

I will be the one that's gonna hold you
I will be the one that you run to
My love is
A burning, consuming fire

No
You'll never be alone
When darkness comes I'll light the night with stars
Hear the whispers in the dark
No
You'll never be alone
When darkness comes you know I'm never far
Hear the whispers in the dark
Whispers in the dark"

Honestly I was quite surprised by his performance. He was doing really good, his voice complementing the song well and he was totally rocking out to the song as if he was in his own little world. I know that feeling myself.

You feel so lonely and ragged
You lay here broken and naked
My love is
Just waiting
To clothe you in crimson roses

I will be the one that's gonna find you
I will be the one that's gonna guide you
My love is
A burning, consuming fire

[Chorus x2]

Whispers in the dark [x3]"

When he finished the song I couldn't help but join the applause for him. He did really well. I he sang the song well but it wasn't like John Cooper did it. Kinda like his own rendition of singing it that wasn't too far from the original.

"Good job Fang. Now is there anyone else who would like to sing today." Mr. Drew looked straight at me again, but once again I was beaten by Lissa who was out of her seat right as he finished his sentence.

"I will!" I saw the slight dread come over Mr. Drew's face, but he said she could and started to play the song that the whore whispered into his ear.

Call Me Maybe (A/N: Didn't know what else for her to sing... if you guys have song ideas pleas tell me!)

"I threw a wish in the well,
Don't ask me, I'll never tell
I looked to you as it fell,
And now you're in my way

I'd trade my soul for a wish,
Pennies and dimes for a kiss
I wasn't looking for this,
But now you're in my way

Your stare was holdin',
Ripped jeans, skin was showin'
Hot night, wind was blowin'
Where do you think you're going, baby?
