The Shooting Stars

by Akai22878

She was cold, horrible even. She was feared and hated, while being the most admired person ever. Secretly, she was miserable. Her life was just one dead end after another. Two people noticed this and began plotting. Will they succeed, or will it blow up in front of them and make the situation more worse than it already was? T for language and for jokes that aren't suitable for some

Chapter 6

"Let's see if I can do something about that wall of yours Anzu." thought Atem. Atem turned back to the crowd. He began tapping his foot. Atem closed his eyes and took in a deep breath.

She's cold and she's cruel
But she knows what she's doin'
She pushed me in the pool
At our last school reunion
She laughs at my dreams

But I dream about her laughter
Strange as it seems
She's the one I'm after

'cause she's bittersweet
She knocks me off of my feet
And I can't help myself
I don't want anyone else
She's a mystery
She's too much for me
But I keep comin' back for more
She's just the girl I'm lookin' for

She can't keep a secret
For more than an hour
She runs on 100 proof attitude power
And the more she ignores me
The more I adore her
What can I do?
I'd do anything for her

'cause she's bittersweet
She knocks me off of my feet
And I can't help myself
I don't want anyone else
She's a mystery
She's too much for me
But I keep comin' back for more
She's just the girl I'm lookin' for

And when she sees it's me
On her caller ID
She won't pick up the phone
She'd rather be alone
But I can't give up just yet
Cause every word she's ever said
Is still ringin' in my head
Still ringin' in my head

She's cold and she's cruel
But she knows what she's doin'
Knows just what to say
So my whole day is ruined

'cause she's bittersweet
She knocks me off of my feet
And I can't help myself
I don't want anyone else
She's a mystery
She's too much for me
But I keep comin' back for more

Cause she's bittersweet
She knocks me off of my feet
And I can't help myself
I don't want anyone else
She's a mystery
She's too much for me
But I keep comin' back for more
Oh, I keep comin' back for more
She's just the girl I'm lookin' for
Just the girl I'm lookin' for

I'm lookin' for
I'm lookin' for
I'm lookin' for
Just the girl I'm lookin' for

When the song ended, Atem received the same ovation as Anzu had. But… this was a little weaker than Anzu's and Atem knew he had lost right then and there. He didn't care though; he already knows that Tea is Anzu and that she needs a friend which is why Saki and Tadao sent her to his show that night. He had no questions for her now. For time had already answered them for him. "Thank you, thank you everyone. I hope that was a little inspiring for a certain person here." Atem took a quick glance at Anzu and saw she was wide eyed. Atem bowed to the crowd and went behind the curtain to Anzu. "So… what did you think?" Anzu sighed.

"Honestly, I thought you were better than me. I'm not sure how your applause didn't match mine at least." Atem got closer to her. She mentally gasped as Atem caressed her cheek. Her mind went blank again.

"Maybe because you did better than me." he whispered. Anzu was at a loss for words. Only one word was going through her mind. That word was 'Why'. Why is he doing this? Why is it that whenever he does this she feels… weird? Anzu tried her best to stop whatever was happening but… something wasn't allowing her to move. Anzu finally got in control of herself and she backed away.

"Thank you for the compliment Atem. So, who were you talking about on stage?" Atem chuckled.

"Oh no one." He then walked away.

"What the hell was that about?" thought Anzu. She then walked off to her table to be greeted by Joey. "Hey Joey."

"Hey Tea, say… have ya seen Atem?" Anzu blinked in confusion.

"I saw him about five seconds ago. Did he go somewhere?"

"Yeah, and I dunno where!" Joey stood up annoyed. "Atem?! Where da hell are you?!" Anzu sighed. She looked behind Joey and saw Atem telling her to not give his position away. Anzu covered her mouth to prevent Joey to hear her laughter. Atem then brought Joey into a head lock. In turn, Joey was startled by this. "Atem! If ya don't let me go, I'm gonna fling your ass over to this table!" Atem laughed.

"Yeah, you can go ahead and try." Joey was just about to show Atem that he wasn't joking when,

"Alright everyone. It's time to announce the winner! Ok, the nominees are… Greg Nessin, Courtney Waters, Atem Mutou, and Tea Gardner. Come on up you guys!" Dave motioned for them to go and they did. They all stood next to each other proudly. Anyone of them can be the champ at this point. "Alright, now this is where it gets interesting. I had a talk with the other employees and they came up with an incredible idea. To narrow this down to two people, we've decided that the four of you will do duets. No it doesn't have to be singing. It can be anything. Atem will be paired with Tea, so that leads to the team of Greg and Courtney. You will have 10 minutes to come up with an act." Dave walked off and the others followed suit.

"What do you think we should do Tea?" asked Atem.

"Isn't it obvious?" Atem chuckled.

"I just thought that we'd give the others a chance."

"And I thought the point was to win." Atem raised an eyebrow to her statement.

"Well… I thought the point was to have fun." Tea/Anzu (A/N I'm so confused right now XD!) laughed.

"Oh please! You can be here to 'have fun' if you want. I'm here to win." Atem sighed and shook his head. "Look, we are good at singing, so what song do you want to sing?" Atem tapped his chin and then shrugged his shoulders which Anzu had just found to be very broad. She shook her head. "Anyway… we should get back." Atem nodded and they walked off. That left Joey all alone at their table.

"That was… different I guess." thought Joey. He then sat down and waited for the semi-finals to begin. He then saw Dave go up to the stage.

"Time's up! Can we please have our two teams back!?" The two teams came back filled with confidence and determination. "Alright, I'm going to flip a coin and you guys call out which side you want. Ready… GO!" Dave flipped the coin in the air as everyone watched in suspense. Courtney stepped forward.

"Heads!" she yelled.

"Alright then, the team of Greg and Courtney have heads. So that leaves Atem and Tea with tails." The coin began to fall. Dave caught the coin and flipped it to his other hand. Dave removed the hand that was on top of the coin to reveal that it was… heads! Greg and Courtney cheered while Atem and Tea shrugged it off. "Ok, Greg, Crystal, what is your act?" They whispered to each other for a minute before separating.

"We're going to perform with our instruments. Greg will be playing the drums while I play my piano." said Courtney.

"Well alright then." Dave, Atem, and Tea walked off as the two began to play a jazz beat that fits the places' mood. Atem and Tea began walking back to their table.

"We need to decide on what song to sing." said Tea. Atem chuckled.

"Ok, I already came up with an idea so this time you think of one." Tea groaned in annoyance. Her anger was getting the better of her and she felt it. She took a deep breath to calm down.

"Look, we're partners. That means we work together. I decided that we would sing, now you have to pick a song!" her voice started to get louder as they made it back to their table. They both raised an eyebrow at the fact that Joey was nowhere in sight. There was however, a note on the table. They sat down and Atem read the note.

Sorry bro,

Mai called me and it sounded important. I had to leave, you understand right? Anyway, I left you some money to take a cab or somethin' attached to the note. I think it's a 50. It should be anyway. Sorry bro.

~Joey

Atem looked behind the note and found the 50 dollars. He sighed and then put the 50 in his wallet. "I've got an idea for a song." Tea looked at him with interest mixed with annoyance.

"Well, don't sit there! Tell me!" demanded Tea. Atem chuckled.

"What's the magic word?" Tea leaned over the table and grabbed Atem by the shirt. She clenched her teeth and spoke.

"The magic word is… you'd better tell me now you fucking bitch. Or so help me I will-"

"You'll what?" asked Atem. Tea was about to throw him halfway across the place just for talking to her like that. She pulled him closer; she was now looking into the whites of his eyes.

"I will make your life a living hell. Do you hear me?" she said in a low sadistic voice. Atem chuckled trying to hide his fear. Tea could see his fear in his eyes and she smirked.

"Hm… now tell me. The only way you could do that is if you knew people that know my people." Tea swallowed hard. She let go of him. "And you would need some power to have an influence in the entertainment industry wouldn't you agree?" Tea went wide eyed. Does he know? Atem stood up and sat next to her. "How's about we sing… No Air by Jordin Sparks ft. Chris Brown?" Tea tapped her chin.

"Hm… not a bad idea Atem." Atem chuckled as he brushed himself off from Tea's assault earlier.

"Thanks." He said with a hint of smugness. Tea rolled her eyes and went to watch her competition as they were just finishing up. They stood up, bowed, and left. Dave went up.

"Ok, now for our other team! Come on up you two!" Atem and Tea stood up and made their way up.

"Does he know? Did someone tell him? Did I screw up?" thought Tea. Atem saw the expression on her face and began thinking as they faced the crowd.

"Anzu… I won't tell your secret. I won't even tell you. I'll wait until you're ready to tell me."

"So, what is your act?" asked Dave. Atem and Tea looked at each other for a minute before turning to Dave with a response. Atem nodded to Tea so she could tell him. She complied.

"Well Dave, our act is singing of course. We'll be singing No Air by Jordin Sparks Brown." Dave blinked.

"Really?" Tea raised an eyebrow.

"Is there a problem with that?" She stared daggers at him that made his skin crawl.

"N-n-n-no, not at all! Start the music!" Dave then ran off. Atem covered his mouth to prevent his laughter from escaping. Atem basically swallowed his laugh as the song started. He then turned his attention to Anzu.

"Oh Anzu… What am I gonna do with you?" thought Atem. He looked at her and she did the same.

"Why is he looking at me like that? We have to focus on the song!" She gave him a glare that straightened him up almost immediately. He returned his attention to the crowd as did she. She laughed to herself. "That's better." She was now ready to sing. Everyone was impressed by Tea and Atem separate. But to see them together, that has to be hit.

"This is gonna be fun." thought Atem.
