We did good in a round one. Now we have to be great in round two. I've been working on which songs we should do for Round Two. I got it already. I must say it's gonna be awesome.
All of us were in the studio praticing again. They all liked the song I picked out. We wermc very specific on our choice of songs. We all had different tastes in music, but we eventually found two songs that we all could rock out to.
After we stopped dancing for an hour and a half, Austin said, "Okay, guys. That was a great practice. We'll practice again tomorrow. See you later."
Dez, Trish, Nelson, and Rosie left. I stayed behind to talk to Austin about something.
"Austin, can I ask you something?" I asked.
"Sure, Alls," she said. "What's up?"
"Did you perform in the Big Show Case last year?"
"Yeah, I did."
"What happened?"
"Do you know T-Fame?"
"T-Fame. I love him! He's one of my my favorite singers of all time."
"He used to go to this school. His real name is Trent and he's a douchbag."
"What does Trent have anything to do with the Big Show Case?"
"We were both in the last round. My song was a mashup of Party Rock Anthem, Don't You Forget About You, and Don't Stop The Music."
"That sounds like a great song."
"It was. Anyways. Trent was performing before me. He stole my song."
"He stole it?"
"Yep. He sang it the same way I did and the exact same moves I had."
"What did you do for your performance?"
"I didn't sing."
"Nothing at all?"
"I stood there and didn't do anything. It was so humiliated."
He leaned onto the piano and hid his face in his arms.
"Austin?"
"What?"
"Was that the reason why you stopped performing?"
He lifted his head up. "How could I ever get back on stage and doing what I love doing after what happened?"
"Austin, I used to have stage fright."
"Really?"
"Yeah, but...after I entered this school, my stage fright just disappeared."
"Well, I just pretended that that never happened. But everyday it comes back and haunts me forever."
"Trent won, didn't he?"
"Yep. Kira dumped me for him."
"I thought you dumped her."
"Nope. I was the dumpee. She's the princess of the school. Kira does and gets whatever she wants."
"What about school? Is she the princess of the school?"
"According to King Jimmy, yes."
"King?"
"Kira is Kira Starr."
"But isn't that Jimmy's-Oh, she's his daughter!"
Austin nodded.
"This was my one chance to get back in the spotlight. My dad always told me that music was a waste of time. I just wanted to prove him wrong."
"You can. Don't you know who you are?! Austin Moon! You're talented, you know that?"
"People say I am."
"I know you are."
He sat on the piano chair. Austin started playing it. The song seemed very familiar. I know!
Ally: Right from the start
You were a thief
You stole my heart
And I your willing victim
I let you see the parts of me
That weren't all that pretty
And with every touch
You fixed them
Now youve been talking in your sleep
Uh, oh
Things you never say to me
Uh oh
Tell me that you've had enough of our love
Our love
Just give me a reason
Just a little bits enough
Just a second, we're not broken
Just bent and we can learn
To love again
It's in the stars
It's been written in the scars
Of our hearts
We're not broken, just bent
And we can learn to love again
Austin:
I'm sorry, I don't understand
Where all of this is coming from
I thought that we were fine
Ally:
Oh, we had everything
Austin.:
You're head is running wild again
My dear, we still have everythin'
And it's all in your mind
Ally:
Yeah, but this is happenin'
Austin:
You've been having real bad dreams
Uh oh
You used to lay so close to me
Uh oh
There's nothing more than empty sheets between our love
Our love
Oh, our love, our love
I laid on top of the piano. For some reason, I feel like I'm in a porno as I moved on the piano seductively.
Both:
Just give me a reason
Just a little bits enough
Just a second, we're not broken
Just bent and we can learn to love again
Austin.:
I never stopped
You're still written in the scars on my heart
Both:
You're not broken, just bent
And we can learn to love again
Ally:
Oh tear ducts in her eyes
Austin.:
I can fix it for her
Ally:
We're collecting dust
But our loves enough
Austin.:
You're holding it in
Ally:
You're pouring a drink
Austin.:
Oh, nothing is as bad as it seems
I rolled onto my stomach and I was face to face with Austin.
Ally:
We'll come clean
Both:
Just give me a reason
Just a little bits enough
Just a second, we're not broken
Just bent, and we can learn to love again
It's in the stars
It's been written in the scars on our hearts
That we're not broken, just bent
And we can learn to love again
Just give me a reason
Just a little bits enough
Just a second, we're not broken
Just bent, and we can learn to love again
It's in the stars
It's been written in the scars on our hearts
That we're not broken, just bent
And we can learn to love again
Ally:
Oh, oh, oh
We can learn to love again
Oh
Can learn to love again
Oh, oh
That we're not broken,
Just bent and we can learn to love again
The music stopped. Austin and I were gazing into each other's eyes.
I leaned closely to Austin. He leaned closer and kissed me.
Oh my God! He's kissing me. I was kissing him back.
My hands gripped his neck. Austin stood up from the chair and hopped onto the piano. My eyes closed for the moment.
I found myself looking up at the ceiling. Austin was on top of me and I was on my back on the piano.
His hard body was on me. As my hand felt the hardness of his chest, it felt right. I felt his smooth skin right through his shirt. A thin layer of fat covered his muscles. I felt his hands go up my skin on my back. As we kissed, I realized that we were kissing French style.
We stopped. Both of us gazed into each other's eyes.
"Wow," he breathed.
"Uhh..." I said. "I-I gotta go."
I pushed him off me and got onto my feet.
"Ally," said Austin. "Don't think that this will change between us."
"I know. Just...I gotta go."
I grabbed my bag and left.
