A/N:… and we're back to weird songs. Figures. Ah ha ha! No not that weird.

Marie just walked up. Nobody really made any comments/remarks/whistled/came up with weird nicknames when he got up. They just clapped when he was done. Marie got the song "No Such Thing" by John Mayer.
"Welcome to the real world"
She said to me,
Condescendingly
"Take a seat,
Take your life.
Plot it out in black and white."
Well, I never lived the dreams
Of the prom kings
And the drama queens
I like to think
The best of me
Is still hiding
Up my sleeve
They love to tell you
"Stay inside the lines"
But something's better
On the other side
I wanna run through the halls of my high school
I wanna scream at the top of my lungs
I just found out there's no such thing as a 'real world'
Just a lie we've got to rise above
So the good boys and girls
Take the so-called right track
With faded white hats
Get the credit cards
Make the transfers
They read all the books,
But they can't find their answers
And all of their parents,
Well, they're getting older
Wonder if they wish for anything better
While our parents
Are tragedies
They love to tell you
"Stay inside the lines"
But something's better
On the other side
I wanna run through the halls of high school
I wanna scream at the top of my lungs
I just found out there's no such thing as a 'real world'
Just a lie we've got to rise above
I just can't wait for my tenth-year reunion
I'm gonna bust down the double doors
And when I stand on these tables before you
You will know that all this time was for
For the first time in a while, people remembered to clap softer than usual because of Marie's sensitive hearing. He had kind of wanted to shoot them up to this point for forgetting.
"Okay! We have Kanda up next!"
Though he growled, he did not argue. Much.

Most of the lyrics I used figuratively. Most of them. The song's just really excellent. I recommend you go and listen to John Mayer. HE'S A GENIUS!!!
