Here is the next chapter of ISTHYR. I put Big Bob instead of Bog Rob for the body guard.

Disclaimer: I own NADA! The "Violence never solved anything…." Part I partially own. It was me trying to get my friends Em and Andi to stop fighting.

Lauren's POV

I can not believe she would do this! She's my sister for crying out loud! She of all people should know that! She lives with me! She knows I hate that shit!

I got out of my bunk only to see Claire run straight to the front door. I growled and ran after her. "EEEEEEEEP!" she said and ran out of the bus. I opened the door and jumped down the steps. I chased her all the way to the front of the building. She was stuck there because the door wouldn't open-seeing as it was early in the morning.

I pinned her to the door and stared into her eyes- a look of pure hatred and madness in them. She cringed away. In a low, creepy voice I said "Why. The. Hell. Are. Connect. Three. Songs. On. My. Ipod?" "Ahh! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I put them on there because I thought that maybe, if you gave them a chance you could learn to like them!" she said as she tried to escape from me. I grabbed her arm and said "Not so fast. I forgive you but…." "Uh-oh." She said. "You have to sing an alternative song with Delaney and me tonight as our cover song instead of 'Heaven Is a Place on Earth.'" I told her. She nodded feebly. That was one of her worst fears-having to sing an alternative song. She absolutely despises alternative songs just like I absolutely despise Connect Three. "Okay, you can go now." I told her in a nicer tone and she ran away.

I walked over to find Delaney. I saw she was only a few feet away from me. In her hands was a video camera. "You videotaped that?" I asked "Still am." She said. "WHAT!?!?!?!" I said and chased her as well. She laughed the whole time. She finally turned it off. She promised to delete it but I'm sure she's going to use it as blackmail some day. I heard laughing from behind me. I turned to see Nate. "Shut it Gray." I said. "Make me." He said. That got me mad. I clenched my hands into fists and brought it back to punch him in the face when Shane stepped in front of us and I ended up hitting his arm, seeing as he's taller than me. He didn't even flinch! Stupid big muscles.

"Enough you guys! We understand that you don't like each other but violence never solved anything." He said. "Violence solved World War Two." I said. Delaney and Claire started cracking up. "Good one!" Delaney said in between laughs as we high fived. Shane just gave me a look that was clearly disappointed. "If you two are going to act childish then we'll treat you like children. You both have to go sit in the back lounge with the door locked and guarded by Big Bob. You will stay in there until you can actually behave like you ages." He said and grabbed our arms and brought us into the back lounge. He sat us down on opposite sides, told us to "stay" and walked away, locking the door behind him. It was quiet for a minute and was very awkward I might add. I guess Nate couldn't take it any longer because he said "This sucks." "No shit, Sherlock." I told him. It was quiet for another minute or so. I looked around the room to see if I could find anything to entertain me. It was then I spotted my guitar was back here. YES! I grabbed it and started to play one of my favorite songs- My Favorite Tune by Skye Sweetnam.

You got killer eyes and an ice-crem tongue
We got things to do while we're still young
So come along, come along, come along, I'll come too
You got kissing lips and a pretty head

We've got things to do before we're dead
So sing along, sing along, sing along, I'll sing too

Nothing really matters but you and me
You're my top request now don't you see?

Right now you are my favorite tune
I just wanna play you baby
Download you but pay you baby
Right now I'm tuning into you
Audio that thrills me baby
Sonic boom that kills me baby

"You know Skye Sweetnam?" Nate asked. "Yeah. She's one of my favorite singers. You know her too?" I asked "Yeah. She's also one of my favorite artists." It was silent again. "Can I play?" Nate asked. I heasitated, my guitar was my baby. I normally didn't trust people with her. "Sure." I said. I don't know why I trusted him. I just, did. Turns out he was really good at singing alternative songs.

Your strings are loose
And you strum it good
But your holding back like I knew you would
When I come along, come along, come along, you come too
We hear cymbals crash, inside our heads
It's like dynamite, someone call the feds
They might sing along, sing along, sing along, we'll sing too

Nothing really matters but you and me
You're a top ten hit now don't you see?

Right now you are my favorite tune
I just wanna play you baby
Download you but pay you baby
Right now I'm tuning into you
Audio that thrills me baby
Sonic boom that kills me baby

I started singing along with him. Our voices really meshed together well.



So we play the song, so we play the saong
And the song goes on and on and on
And we play the track, play it back to back
Music never made me feel like that

You got killer eyes and an ice-crem tongue
We got things to do while we're still young
So come along, come along, come along, I'll come too

He stopped singing and I continued.

Nothing really matters but you and me
You're my top request now don't you see?
Nothing really matters but me and you
We got a top ten hit and shit to do!

He started singing along again. I understood now why he didn't sing that one part. Good little christian boy.

Right now you are my favorite tune
I just wanna play you baby
Download you but pay you baby
Right now I'm tuning into you
Audio that thrills me baby
Sonic boom that kills me baby

I smiled at him as he gave back my guitar. "You're really good." He said. I blushed and said "Thanks." "Your welcome." He said. I regained my composure and said "You don't like to cuss do ya little christian boy?" I wiggled my eyebrow-one of my many talents- at him. He turned a faint shade of red and mumbled "So?" I just laughed and he started to laugh along with me.

Just then the door unlocked and in the hallway the girlz, the guys, Big Bob, Mr. Jameson, and even the boys parents were there clapping. I blushed and brought my side bangs infront of my fave to hide it. Nate ducked behind me. I started laughing at him and pulled him up. "Oh come on. You're 16! You're older than me!" I told him. "Encore! Encore!" shouted Delaney, Claire, Shane and Jason. I shook my head violently. "Oh come on! Please?" said Claire giving me the puppy dog pout. "No! Not the puppy dog pout!" I said and hid behind Nate. "Oh look who's the hypocrite." He said and I was instantly sparked with an idea. I wispered it to Nate and he agreed. I grabbed my guitar and started playing another song bye Skye called Hypocrite.
