The next day was better but also worse. Things were different in the Glee Club. Once they found out about Hannah's situation, people were more cautious around her. She didn't like it very much, considering she was much better than she was during the summer.
"So, Damian, do you think you landed any rolls in that movie?" Hannah asked him while they were sitting outside eating lunch by themselves.
"Ah, I dunno. He did have seemed to like you a lot," Damian replied.
"You think?"
"Yeah, you were wonderful,"
"Well thanks; you were wonderful as well,"
They finished eating and went back in for their final classes before Glee Club. Mr. Shue said they were starting something new since the directors were gone.
"So, opposites today! You're going to sing something totally opposite from your style, and it'll help you for when you're older and you find parts for a play, or movie that aren't you at all. I'm going to give you all partners based on what music you mostly sing, and that one person is going to give the other the song, and they'll sing it. It won't be duets though. You each have to perform your own song," Mr. Shue explained. Some people got excited, and some people were kind of skeptical about the assignment.
"So, here are the partners. Hannah and Daniella; Savannah and Xriss; Maureen and Tyler; Sam and Damian; S.J. and Evan; Alice and Connor; Dane and Marie; and Toronto and Audrey," Mr. Shue called off his list. Some people grimaced, but others smiled and glanced at their partners.
Mr. Shue glanced around the room at the people already in their pairs discussing things.
Hannah and Daniella were friends, but they weren't very close; so it was slightly awkward for them.
"So, uh this might be easy because he's right we are completely opposite. Maybe that saying, 'Opposites attract,' might be right," Hannah said.
"Hmm, I guess. I can find you a song from my iTunes very quickly. I'll try and make it something easy too," Daniella said with a chuckle.
"Me too; this assignment is actually a pretty good idea considering it works?" Hannah said.
"I have the perfect thing for you to sing right now," Daniella said and took her hand and pulled her up to Mr. Shue.
"Can we go use to auditorium?" she asked.
"Sure," he replied.
"Okay let's go," Daniella said and dragged a confused Hannah down the hall.
Maureen and Tyler were the least bit happy with Mr. Shue's choice since he knew they were complete opposites.
"You are going to learn about REAL music not that Broadway crap," Tyler said, smiling at her in an evil way.
"No way," she replied.
"Too bad, I get to pick the songs," he replied.
"Song," Maurie corrected, "I get to pick yours."
That backfired to Tyler real fast. He glared at her and brought out his phone to start thinking of something for her to sing. They barely talked, and just scrolled and looked up lyrics.
Toronto and Audrey were okay with being together though. Their music taste wasn't so bad apart. Mr. Shue didn't really know some of them.
"I think you should sing Upside Down by Jack Johnson," Toronto said right away to Audrey. It would be a cute song.
"You should sing Rhiannon by Fleetwood Mac." she replied quickly.
"Okay. Trade phones for now?" Toronto asked, handing his to her with the song about to play.
"Sure," Audrey said and took hers out of her bag sitting on the floor next to him. They were casual about it, and talked while sitting in the plastic red chairs while everyone else discussed things.
Back in the auditorium the two girls were alone with the black piano on the stage, and a stereo to plug in one's iPhone.
"There's a live version of this song recorded as a CD; like they made a DVD of one of their shows in 2008. On that, the singer played this cute little intro on her keyboard. I happen to know how to play it, and I want to play it before you sing. Here are the lyrics," Daniella said handing her phone to the girl standing next to the piano, "I'll play through, and then the second time you can try to sing with it."
"Alright," Hannah replied, looking over the device in her hand. Daniella played the intro, and as she said it was cute, and then she hit play on the stereo, and it played the original version of the song. It would sound better when the band played.
Just as they said, Hannah tried to sing the second time around, and was almost perfect. A few more times and she'd have the song down. When the bell rang, they left and said to meet tomorrow with the other song.
On the first day they could start performing, Maurie wanted to go first just to get it out of the way. She stood in front of the group in the choir room looking kind of angry.
"So this is Crazy Little Thing Called Love by what is it again? Queen?" she directed the last part to Tyler. He nodded and smiled, waiting to see her sing.
"So uh, yeah," she said, and then the music started playing.
"This thing called love I just can't handle itthis thing called love I must get round to itI ain't readyCrazy little thing called loveThis (This Thing) called love(Called Love)It cries (Like a baby)In a cradle all nightIt swings (Woo Woo)It jives (Woo Woo)It shakes all over like a jelly fish,I kinda like itCrazy little thing called loveThere goes my babyShe knows how to Rock n' rollShe drives me crazyShe gives me hot and cold feverThen she leaves me in a cool cool sweatI gotta be cool relax, get hipGet on my track'sTake a back seat, hitch-hikeAnd take a long ride on my motor bikeUntil I'm readyCrazy little thing called loveI gotta be cool relax, get hipGet on my track'sTake a back seat, hitch-hikeAnd take a long ride on my motor bikeUntil I'm ready (Ready Freddie)Crazy little thing called loveThis thing called love I just can't handle itthis thing called love I must get round to itI ain't readyCrazy little thing called love,"
Maurie wasn't too mad at the end of her performance, considering she liked it a little bit. Tyler was next.
"So I have to sing a Musical song," Tyler said.
"It's from some musical called Anastasia; Maureen made me watch it multiple times yesterday. It's called Journey to the Past," Tyler started.
"Heart, don't fail me now!Courage, don't desert me!Don't turn back now that we're herePeople always sayLife is full of choicesNo one ever mentions fear!Or how a road can seem so longHow the world can seem so vastCourage see me throughHeart I'm trusting youOn this journey...to the pastSomewhere down this roadI know someone's waitingYears of dreams just can't be wrongArms will open wideI'll be safe and wantedFin'lly home where I belongWell, starting here, my life beginsStarting now, I'm learning fastCourage see me throughHeart I'm trusting youOn this journey...to the pastHeart don't fail me now!Courage don't desert me!Home, Love, FamilyThere was once a timeI must have had them tooHome, Love, FamilyI will never be completeUntil I find you...One step at a time,One hope, then anotherWho knows where this road may goBack to who I wasOn to find my future,Things my heart still needs to knowYes, let this be a sign!Let this road be mine!Let it lead me to my pastCourage see me throughHeart I'm trusting youTo bring me home...At last!At last!Courage see me throughHeart I'm trusting youyea..."
Everyone clapped, and he sat back down.
"Well, I think there's time for two more," Mr. Shue said.
"Mr. Shue, we're ready," Audrey said, and Toronto went up first. They sang and the day ended and everyone went home.
Sam and Damian decided to hang out after school at the mall to discuss their song numbers.
"So I actually found a nice song for you to sing last night. I think it'll complement your voice very well. It's a really high range tho-," Damian started once they sat down in the food court. Sam cut him off.
"So what's up with you and Hannah?" he asked.
"I don't think it's any of your business," Damian replied, frowning.
"Well she broke Conner's heart," Sam said.
"We've talked about it. Actually a lot. She even talked to Conner," Damian replied, starting to get angry.
"Are you two dating then?"
"Yes, now can we please get back to the work we actually came here for?" Damian asked.
Sam sighed, and gave up, "Good. Maurie paid me 50 bucks to ask you. Sorry." He said awkwardly."
"Well, as I was saying before, they're a celtic folk band that is actually here in Ohio. I've met them before too. Closest thing to Ireland I can have," he said.
Sam and Damian were the first to go the next day.
"This Trouble by Never Shout Never," Damian started.
"I'm in troubleI'm an addictI'm addicted to this girlShe's got my heart tied in a knotAnd my stomach in a whirlBut even worseI can't stop calling herShe's all I want and moreI mean dangWhat's not to adore?
I've been playing too much guitarI've been listening to jazzI called so many timesI swear she's going madAnd that cellular will be the death of usI swear, I swearAnd ohO-oh, o-oh, o-oohOooohI'm running my mouthJust like I got herBut I surely don't
Because she's soO-oh, o-oh, o-oohRock 'n rollAnd out of my leagueIs she out of my league?Let's hope notI'm in troubleI'm so clichéSee that word just wears me outMakes me feel like just another boyTo laugh and joke aboutBut even worseI can't stop calling herI love to hear that voiceAnd honestlyI'm left with no choiceI've been playing too much guitarI, I've been listening to jazzI called so many timesI swear she's going madAnd that cellular will be the death of usI swear, I swear
And ohO-oh, o-oh, o-oohOooohI'm running my mouthJust like I got herBut I surely don'tBecause she's soO-oh, o-oh, o-oohRock 'n rollAnd out of my leagueIs she out of my league?Let's hope notAnd ohO-oh, o-oh, o-oohOoooh, oooh"
"Thanks. It was something new," Damian said and bowed to the group sitting in front of him.
Sam went up right after he sat down and brought in a group of the violin players from the school band.
"So I'll be singing a traditional Irish tune. Something also new to me, and I've worked very hard to get it perfect. It's by a local band called Maidens IV," Sam said.
"Listen Children, listen, won't you come into the night.
The stars have set their candle gleam, the moon her lantern light.
I'm fiddling little tunes for you, to catch your dancing feet,
There's music in the air,
And there's magic in the streets!
There's jesting here and carnival,
Oh tip the actors show, our merry song and twinkling voice flit
Through the moonlit glow.
What watchman calls us in the night, and plays a little tune,
That turns our tongues to talking now of April,
May and April, May and June.
As ancient rhyme and twilight song,
Chase shadows through the streets,
The village walls and city streets,
Make up this moonlit feast.
Who bids us come with dancing feet and snapping fingertips.
The light of spring beneath the skies puts laughter
... Puts laughter on our lips.
Listen Children, listen, won't you come into the night.
The stars have set their candle gleam,
The moon her lantern light.
I'm fiddling little tunes for you,
To catch your dancing feet, there's music in the air,
And there's magic in the streets!
There's jesting here and carnival,
Oh tip the actors show, our merry song and twinkling voice flit
Through the moonlit glow.
We're playing our little tunes for you,
We've caught your dancing feet,
Our music's in the air….
'cause there's magic in the music and there's music in the magic,
'cause there's music in the air…,"
The last note was majorly high, and everyone was surprised and clapped and whistled when he bowed.
"Who's next? I don't know who can top that outstanding performance," Mr. Shue said, after the noise died down.
Hannah raised her hand, "Mr. Shue? Can I perform mine in the auditorium?"
"Sure, let's go down there now then," he said, and started leading everyone down the empty halls.
Daniella and Hannah went on stage so Daniella can play the piano part. The band was there with the electric guitars.
"This song is called Emergency by Paramore," Hannah said. Everyone was just now noticing her different attire. She had dark purple skinny jeans on with a flowy tank top. Her hair was teased and she looked really cute, but it didn't fit her. For the assignment, she was so far the best with acting it out.
The song started out with Daniella, and it was slightly eerie because they even got with the AV club for lighting. There were streams of light fleeting across the dark stage, showing Hannah just for seconds at a time.
"I think we have an emergencyI think we have an emergencyIf you thought I'd leave, then you were wrongCause I won't stop holding onSo are you listening?So are you watching me?If you thought I'd leave, then you were wrongCause I won't stop holding is an emergencySo are you listening?And I can't pretend that I don't see thisIt's really not your faultThat no one cares to talk about it,Talk about itCause I've seen love dieWay too many timesWhen it deserved to be alive(When it deserved to be alive)I've seen you cryWay too many timesWhen you deserve to be alive, aliveSo you give up every chance you getJust to feel new againI think we have an emergencyI think we have an emergencyAnd you do your best to show me love,but you don't know what love are you listening?So are you watching me?Well I can't pretend that I don't see thisIt's really not your faultThat no one cares to talk about it,Talk about itCause I've seen love dieWay too many timesWhen it deserved to be alive(When it deserved to be alive)I've seen you cryWay too many timesWhen you deserve to be alive, aliveThese scars, they will not fade one cares to talk about it, talk about itCause I've seen love dieWay too many timesWhen it deserved to be alive(When it deserved to be alive)I've seen you cryWay too many timesWhen you deserve to be alive, alive,"
It really was one epic performance. She really brought it out. It might have been hard for her to get up there and bring all this energy, and she was the most tired afterwards.
The partner song for this was 'Hey Stephen' by Taylor Swift, and even if it was something completely different for Hannah's partner, no one really topped her.
The next day, everyone was standing on the auditorium waiting to perform their group number of the week.
"I'm sick of all this waiting and people telling me what I should be," Hannah sang the first lines.
"What if I'm not so crazy, maybe you're the one that's wrong, not me," Tyler sang after her.
"So what you going to do, what you going to say; when we're standing on top and do it our way," Audrey sang.
"You say we got no future, you're living in the past; so listen up, that's my generation," Maureen sang loudly, almost screaming the last line.
Everyone sang along with the chorus and started running and dancing around the stage with the choreography.
"(Hey ho, let's go!) It's going down tonight (hey ho, let's go!) We're going to do it till we die (hey ho, let's go!) 'Cause I, I, I got no reason to apologize that's my generation," The boys sang first, and the girls echoed.
"I don't need to say I'm sorry I do what everybody wants to do," Alice sang.
"It's not so complicated, 'cause I know you want the same thing, too," Toronto sang.
"So what you going to do, what you going to say; when we're standing on top and do it our way," Connor sang.
"You say we got no future, you're living in the past; so listen up, that's my generation," S.J. sang.
Everyone sang the chorus twice more, and then started laughing and joined into a group hug. This week was fun.
