Drew: Hi
Drew: Hi. Chapter 4 is up.
Brendan: Yeah, so ? I know, let's have a rematch !
Drew: Nah, that's too boring.
Brendan: What ?! Battles aren't boring !
Drew: Well they are when someone battles you.
Brendan: Curse you ! Kill you ! Damn you !
Drew: You can stop swearing now. Where are the girls anyway ?
Brendan: How should I know ?
Drew: I don't know.
Me and May:
Drew: Do the disclaimer.
Brendan: Why ?!
Drew: Cause your initial comes before mine and the girls aren't here.
Brendan: (grumbles) …Xdrewmay74X does not own anything in this story except for Drew's parents, Eva, the teachers, the other royal adults and the old couple who took care of Drew for a few years.
Chapter 4: The Talent We Share
"Dawn VS Paul, Misty VS Ash and May VS Drew. I'll give you five seconds before the battle starts…..begin !" Ms Kyra instructed her battle class.
Her choices were really random, but somehow, the girls ended up battling the boy they hated, I repeat hated, the most. May used her Blaziken, Toro, and her Wartortle, Torty. Drew's pokemon were Roselia and Butterfree. It ended up being a tie, the same as Dawn and Paul's, and Misty and Ash's. So Ms Kyra was forced to give them different pairings. Advancing were May, Drew and Dawn.
The next class was Music Instrumental. May grinned. Nothing like her favourite class in an air-conditioned room to make her day ! Music was only twice a week, one day Music Instrumental and the other Physical Music. May specialized in Music Instrumental while Dawn was best in Physical Music.
Anyway, the class then assembled in the Music Room where it seemed like any other classroom. The only difference was that it had an air-con. Soon their teacher came in, Ms Vanessa. "Alright class, who's going to perform today ?" she asked.
All heads turned to look at May. She let out a laugh, confusing Drew. After all, this was his first Music Instrumental lesson. Ms Vanessa smiled. "Alright then May. I expect no less from my best student," she said.
May walked up to the class organ (A/N: The organ is kinda like a piano, except it has two keyboards, one on top of the other, one treble, one base, and the pedals also represent notes. It can also sound like all the other different instruments. I play it myself.)and sat down. She then turned to Ms Vanessa and asked her, "Which song shall I play today ?"
Her teacher just smiled and said, "One of your new ones that we haven't heard yet. Now class, for today, I'd like you to guess the title of May's song."
May grinned and began playing.
Yeah Uh oh
Uh oh
Uh oh
Yeah hey hey
Yeah
Whooh !
Sometimes I walk a little faster in the school hallway Just to get next to you
Some days I spend a little extra time in the morning
Just to impress you
Guess you don't know this
Guess you don't need this
Sad you're not seeing what you're missing
On the outside shyin' away
On the inside dying to say
I'm unusual
Not so typical
Way to smart to be waiting around
Tai Chi practicing
Snowboard champion
I could fix the flat on your car
I might even be a rock star
I might even be a rock star
Sometimes I wish when the phone rings
That it would be you
Saying let's hang out
Then you'd confess
That there's something special
Between us
Why don't we find out
You don't even know me
Guess you don't need me
Why are you not seeing
What you're missing
On the outside shyin' away
On the inside dying to say
Whooh !
I'm unusual
Not so typical
Way too smart to be waiting around
Tai Chi practicing
Snowboard champion
I could fix the flat on your car
I might even be a rock star
If you only looked inner in me
I might even be a ro-ock star
I'm telling you that we are meant to be
That wouldn't it be nice if you could see
That I really am a rock star
Yeah yeah
Whooh !
Yeah I really am a rock star
A rock star
I'm unusual
Not so typical
Way to smart to be waiting around
Tai Chi practicing
Snowboard champion
I could fix the flat on your car
Rockin' wherever we are
Yeah yeah cause I really am a rock star
Cause I really am a rock star-ar-ar
I am a rock star
The song ended and May was given a round of applause as she bowed and walked coolly back to her seat. Drew was impressed. He never knew that she could be so talented at something, but still… he smirked. Well, he had his reasons.
"Now class, who would like to guess the name of the song May just played ?" Miss Vanessa asked. Hands shot up. All kinds of funny names were mentioned, and May cringed at the worst ones. There were things like, 'I'm Unusual', 'I Wanna Be A Rock Star' and 'I Might Even Be A Rock Star'. May sighed. The answer was simple ! In fact, too simple.
Then, out of nowhere, the class heard, "Rock Star." May stood up. "Who said that ?" she asked. Everyone knew that whoever had said that had gotten it right. Drew snickered, raised his hand halfway and said, "I did." Everyone gasped. This was the first time anyone had ever got the name of one of May's songs correct ! What a day. First, their pairings of roommates for rooms, and now this ?
Misty grinned as she remembered the time they got to know their roommates just a few hours ago.
She hoped she'd be sharing her room with someone she knew. Turned out it was Eva, her best friend in Primary School ! May was paired with Dawn, Ash was paired with Gary (very bad luck for him) and Drew was paired with Paul. Basically, good matchings for the girls and very weird matchings for the boys.
The first night of boarding school had come and everyone was asleep. Well, everyone except for Drew. His nimble fingers were longing to tap dance placidly on the organ keyboard once again. He kept tossing and turning, trying to resist the urge of playing the organ after four whole years of not seeing it. The fourteen-year-old couldn't hold the urge within him any longer. He crept out of bed (A/N: In my story no one wears pajamas, okay ?)and, taking one look at the sleeping Paul in the opposite bed, went out of their room and into the class. There was no door, anyone could enter at any point of time. He softened the sound, careful not to wake anyone up. Then, he started his song.
Grew up in a small town
And when the rain would fall down
I'd just stare out my window
Dreaming of what could be
And if I'd end up happy
I would pray
Trying hard to reach out
But when I tried to speak out
Felt like no one could hear me
Wanted to belong here
But something felt so wrong here
So I'd pray
I could Breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget all the ones that I loved and I'll
Make a wish
Take a chance,
Make a change
And Breakaway
I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
Though it's not easy to tell you goodbye
I gotta
Take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And Breakaway
Wanna feel the warm breeze
Sleep under a palm tree
Feel the rush of the ocean
Go on board a fast train
Travel on a jet plane
Far away
I could Breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget all the ones that I loved
I gotta
Take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And Breakaway
Breakaway
Breakaway
Breakaway
Drew ended the song with a comforting note, but it didn't comfort him. The whole song had made him uneasy, made him think about his rich yet lonely past.
Then, he heard something that made him jump. "That was actually really good," May praised. She had been awoken by the familiar sound of the organ and heard Drew playing his song.
When Drew turned around to see her, he just scowled, "What are you doing here ?" May sighed. "I praise you for your playing and what do I get in return ?" she whined.
That was when it all began. His first secret was out. But his others were not…
Drew: Explain again what is an organ.
Me: I am not your personal dictionary. Go find it yourself.
Drew: Okay. poof
Brendan: Evil, can I have a rematch against Drew ?
Me: Sure you can, but he'll still beat you anyway. So if you want a rematch, then go find him yourself.
Brendan: Oh okay then. Bye you lot. poof
May: I'll go find them and judge their battle, okay Evil ? Bye ! I'll tell you who won ! poof
Me: Lonely, I am so lonely…REVIEW !! poof
