Chapter 2
Jason POV
"And then the books went flying out of her hands." Drew obnoxiously giggles, holding onto my arm tighter. I wanted to shake her off, and send her 'flying' into the gutters. Sadly, I could not.
"Jasey. Are you listening?" She asks with her squealing voice that sounded more like nails on a blackboard or a cat couching up a hairball.
"Yep." I nodded, even though I really wasn't, "Are you coming to the soccer game on saturday?"
"Babe. I'm a cheerleader there. I have to go. Even if the mud will ruin my shoes." She says, rolling her plain dull eyes.
Now, even though you people can't answer me, why the heck did I everstart to date Drew? My mind was more set on a particular kaleidoscope eyed girl in my english class. According to Percy, who isn't really a reliable source, he said that she likes me too.
"Um. Okay." I say awkwardly.
"Oh, your so cute!" She says, her claws digging into my bicep. I am a man. I will not be described as 'cute'.
Somehow she managed to make me ditch the boys temporarily to go on a date with her.
"Oh, um, look at the time! I really have to go." I stammer, untangling my arm from hers and weaving through the other people at the mall, who gave me un-nerving stares.
"Jason!" Drew screeches from somewhere behind me. I don't bother replying.
*0*
"Angel With A Shotgun?" Percy suggests, holding up the music sheets from the pile on the floor.
"Or Everybody Talks?" Leo holds up the other music sheets.
"Lets do a vote." Percy says, scruffing his hair up. I sigh. we've been narrowing our options down for over an hour now. Is he trying to kill us? "Last one, I promise."
"All in favour of Angel With A Shotgun?" 3/5 including me put up our hands and say 'ai'. "Angel With A Shotgun it is then."
"Now, We rehearse!" Leo says dramatically, "After we get dinner."
"And presenting, Jason, Leo, Percy, Luke and Nico!"
(I'm an angel with a shotgun, shotgun, shotgun,
An angel with a shotgun, shotgun, shotgun..)
(Jason=bold, Percy=italics, Luke=underline Leo=bold underline, Nico=italics bold)
Get out your guns, battle's begun,
are you a saint, or a sinner?
If love's a fight, then I shall die,
with my heart on a trigger.
They say before you start a war,
you better know what you're fighting for.
Well baby, you are all that I adore,
if love is what you need, a soldier I will be.
I'm an angel with a shotgun,
fighting 'til the war's won,
I don't care if heaven won't take me back.
I'll throw away my faith, babe, just to keep you safe.
Don't you know you're everything I have?
..and I, wanna live, not just survive, tonight.
Sometimes to win, you've got to sin,
don't mean I'm not a believer.
..and major Tom, will sing along.
Yeah, they still say I'm a dreamer.
They say before you start a war,
you better know what you're fighting for.
Well baby, you are all that I adore,
if love is what you need, a soldier I will be.
I'm an angel with a shotgun,
fighting 'til the war's won,
I don't care if heaven won't take me back.
I'll throw away my faith, babe, just to keep you safe.
Don't you know you're everything I have?
..and I, wanna live, not just survive, tonight.
ooooohhhhhhhh, ooooooohhhhh whoa whoa oooh whoa
I'm an angel with a shotgun..
fighting 'til the war's won..
I don't care if heaven won't take me back..
I'm an angel with a shotgun,
fighting til' the war's won,
I don't care if heaven won't take me back.
I'll throw away my faith, babe, just to keep you safe.
Don't you know you're everything I have?
(I'm an angel with a shotgun)
..and I, want to live, not just survive, tonight.
(Live, not just survive)
..and I'm gonna hide, hide, hide my wings tonight.
They say before you start a war,
you better know what you're fighting for.
Well baby, you are all that I adore,
if love is what you need, a soldier I will be.
The small gathered crowd cheers, the girls in the front row. Piper's magical kaleidoscope eyes stare at me with interest and the fain traces of a growing smile on her blemish free face.
"Thankyou! Next we have Annabeth Piper Thalia Calypso and Paisley. But before they perform, lets take a small break. Can the following people please come back stage?" The announcer man reads off his cards until he gets to the last name, "And Drew."
Drew is auditioning? Heaven help us all.
"5,6,7,8"
(Piper=Bold, Annabeth= Italics, Thalia=Underline, Calypso= bold underline, Paisley= bold italics normal= all)
I wouldn't wanna be anybody else, hey
[Verse 1]
You made me insecure,
Told me I wasn't good enough.
But who are you to judge
When you're a diamond in the rough?
I'm sure you got some things
You'd like to change about yourself.
But when it comes to me
I wouldn't want to be anybody else.
Na na na na na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na na na na na
I'm no beauty queen
I'm just beautiful me
Na na na na na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na na na na na
You've got every right
To a beautiful life
C'mon
[Chorus:]
Who says, who says you're not perfect?
Who says you're not worth it?
Who says you're the only one that's hurtin'?
Trust me, that's the price of beauty
Who says you're not pretty?
Who says you're not beautiful?
Who says?
[Verse 2:]
It's such a funny thing
How nothing's funny when it's you
You tell 'em what you mean
But they keep whiting out the truth
It's like a work of art
That never gets to see the light
Keep you beneath the stars
Won't let you touch the sky
Na na na na na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na na na na na
I'm no beauty queen
I'm just beautiful me
Na na na na na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na na na na na
You've got every right
To a beautiful life
C'mon
[Chorus:]
Who says, who says you're not perfect?
Who says you're not worth it?
Who says you're the only one that's hurtin'?
Trust me, that's the price of beauty
Who says you're not pretty?
Who says you're not beautiful?
Who says?
[Bridge:]
Who says you're not star potential?
Who says you're not presidential?
Who says you can't be in movies?
Listen to me, listen to me
Who says you don't pass the test?
Who says you can't be the best?
Who said, who said?
Would you tell me who said that?
Yeah, who said?
[Chorus:]
Who says, who says you're not perfect? (yeah)
Who says you're not worth it? (yeah yeah)
Who says you're the only one that's hurtin'? (oh)
Trust me, that's the price of beauty (hey yeah, beauty)
Who says you're not pretty? (who said?)
Who says you're not beautiful? (I'm just beautiful me)
Who says?
The audience erupts in cheers, and the nervouus girls sigh in relief. They come down on the right side of the stage, andmy eyes are glued on Piper. A large smile graces her light pink lips that look so... Shut up Jason.
Theysit in the row infront of us and turn around. Paisley starts talking to Percy. Thalia to Luke. Annabeth joining in with Paisley. Calypso to Leo, Nico's being a loner, and Piper is...
Holy crap Piper is staring at me.
"Y-you guy's did great." I smile at her.
"Thanks," She says, nervously tucking a stray piece of hair behind her ear, "You did too. You guy's were so great it was like woah." She hits her forehead with her hand, face palming. I wanted to stop her, but I didn't see it coming. "Crap, and now I sound like Paisley."
Our conversation was interrupted by the announcer man, "Our winning bbands are, Percy, Jason, Leo, Nico and Luke and Piper, Annabeth, Paisley, Calypso and Thalia!"
I suck in a breath, all my nerves leaving. Theres some crying and wailiing, and some hoots. Paisley has tackled Percy from his chair in a hug.
"Could those bands please meet with me backstage?"
