Sebastian walked into the room. He wasn't entirely sure what to do for the next assignment. He then had an idea.
"Okay, so I want someone to shout out a theme of music." He stated.
"COUNTRY!" Danny declared raucously. Everyone in the room stared at him. "Sorry."
"Okay, so country it is." Sebastian declared. "Who wants to start us off and I want it to be someone other than Danny."
"I guess I can go." Jasmine replied as she walked to the center of the room and began singing.
8:00 on Friday night, I'm still at home
All my girls just keep on blowing up my phone
Saying come on, he aint worth the pain do what you gotta do to forget his name
Now there's only thing left for me to do
Slip on my favorite dress and sky-high leather boots
Check the mirror one last time and kiss the past goodbye
What I'm really needing now is a double-shot of Crown
Chase that disco ball around till I don't remember
Go until they cut me off, wanna get a little lost
In the lights, in the noise, hey bartender
Pour em hot tonight, till the party and the music and the truth collide
Bring it till his memory fades away, hey bartender
Tonight I'll let a stranger pull me on the floor
Spin me round and let him buy a couple more
But before it goes too far, I'll let him down easy
Cause tonight it's all about dancing with my girls to DJ put that song on replay
What I'm really needing now is a double-shot of Crown
Chase that disco ball around till I don't remember
Go until they cut me off, wanna get a little lost
In the lights, in the noise, hey bartender
Pour em hot tonight, till the party and the music and the truth collide
Bring it till his memory fades away, hey bartender, hey bartender
What the room didn't know is that a lot of song was true to her. She would go to bars sometimes to avoid her parents who didn't feel like staying up to wait for her. She knew that it wasn't healthy, but to her it was a better alternative than being at home.
"Hey, Jazz?" Mustafa called her to she left the room. She immediately turned attention to him. "I was wondering if maybe you wanted to go out to dinner with me tonight."
"Sure we can go after Glee Club." She declared.
"Don't you want to go home and get changed first?" He asked in surprise.
"No, we can just go out like this." She replied before she said something that he didn't understand. He did think that something was weird, but didn't say anything about it.
Country wasn't really a kind of music that Mustafa listened to, mainly because it was mostly white people and Darius Rucker. He guessed that there was nothing wrong with going out in their uniforms, but he didn't want people to mistake it for a school function or something.
Someone else who didn't really listen to country was Jacobi. She actually for the most part couldn't stand it. However, there was one song that she liked, mainly because she felt the artist singing it wasn't really that country. She went to the Glee Club and began to sing it with a little more of a pop spin on it. Sebastian just said that they had to sing country songs, but didn't say that they had to sing country. She happened to know that her dads love the song as well.
Lying in the green grass underneath the blue sky
Looking at a good man who oughta be the right guy
He's got the kind of heart that any girl would die for
How could I want more, how could I want more
Treats me like a princess, lets me have it my way
I could tell he's hanging on every word that I say
All he does is love me, swears that's what he's here for
So how could I want more, how could I want more
More fire, more feeling, more stars than what I'm seeing
More hope for what I'd find behind that door
More power, more passion instead of just acting
Like I'm the one that he's been looking for
Lying in the green grass, Underneath the blue sky
Looking at a good man and I know he's the right guy
He's got that kinda heart that any girl would die for
So, how could I want more? how could I want more?
More fire, more feeling, more stars than what I'm seeing
More hope for what I'd find behind that door
More power, more passion instead of just acting
Like I'm the one that he's been looking for
As she finished, she looked at the cute blonde guy that she couldn't remember the name of. She did know that he was cute and hoped that he would ask her out, but she wasn't going to ask him out. She was too much of a traditionalist for that. She did consider giving her number to him.
Chace walked down the hall after school was over. He was about to head home when Emerson came up to him.
"Hello." He declared.
"G'day." Chace replied.
"You're know that you're kind of adorable. " Emerson told him. "So you know that you've been on my radar for a little while."
"Are you seriously hitting on me?" Chace asked in disbelief. He didn't know that those kinds of gay guys really existed.
"That depends on if you like it or not." Emerson replied. "So what do you think about this country assignment?"
"I don't really have that much of an opinion about it." Chace answered.
"Well that is because you haven't heard the right song yet." Emerson replied. "How about you come with me and I can sing you a song that will definitely bring a smile to your face."
Emerson took him to the auditorium and started the music as he began to sing to it.
Right now, he's probably slow dancing bleach blonde tramp and she's probably getting frisky
Right now, he's probably buying her some fruity little drink cause she can't shoot whiskey
Right now he's probably up behind her with a pool stick showing her how to shoot a combo
And he don't know
That I dug my key into the side of his pretty little supped-up four-wheel drive
Carved my name into his leather seats
I took a Louisville Slugger to both headlights, slashed a hole in all four tires
Maybe next time he'll think before he cheats
Right now, she's probably singing some white trash version of Shania karaoke
Right now, she's probably saying "I'm drunk" and he's a thinking that he's gonna get lucky
Right now, he's probably dabbing on three dollars' worth of that bathroom cologne
But he don't know
Cause I dug my key into the side of his pretty little supped-up four-wheel drive
Carved my name into his leather seats
I took a Louisville Slugger to both headlights, slashed a hole in all four tires
Maybe next time he'll think before he cheats, oh maybe next time he'll think before he cheats
Oh before he cheats, oh
"You're right. That definitely got me to smile." Chace agreed.
"Well then I guess the only logical thing to do next is to be ask you about on Friday night." Emerson stated. "So are you doing anything?"
"No, but maybe I should pick you up since my dad isn't the biggest supporter of me." Chace replied.
"Whatever you want to do, it's a date." Emerson replied in joy.
After school, Addie and Cori were going to the former's house again to work on the project some more.
"Why don't we ever to go your house?" The Asian girl asked the Brit.
"I have a baby sister and she makes it hard to work." Cori lied. "Besides, I really like the way that your bedroom looks."
The two of them went inside of the house and they saw Addie's mom was cooking dinner.
"Hi, Mrs. Chan." Cori greeted her before they headed to the teenager's room. "So what's that club that you went to yesterday?"
"That was the Gay-Straight Alliance." Addie answered.
"Which one do you fall under?" The blue-haired girl asked her curiously.
"I'm not into labels." Addie stated as she took her computer out.
"Doesn't really answer the question." Cori commented.
"I like boys and I like girls." Addie responded. "But I don't like to be defined by any sort of sexuality. So it's my turn to ask you a question. What is the deal with the blue hair?"
"I couldn't dye it for a while." Cori told her.
"Why not?" Addie asked as she turned on some music.
"School had rules against it." Cori responded. "Oh my God love this."
She then began to sing along with the song that was playing.
I don't have any answers, I'm not sure on questions anymore
Still choosing lost causes, defending battles and hopeless wars
With a right heart, wrong decision, keeps you blinded tunnel vision
Oh the road to love is paved with good intentions
I'm still getting to the good part
The breaking down, learning how to write my story
And I'm in the middle of the madness
The living loose, finding who I'm gonna be
From the start to the end
I'm still learning the road between
I know it aint gonna be easy no
But I'm a fighter and you can't take that from me no
This is just a page of the chapter I'm in
And I'm still getting to the good part
The breaking down, learning how to write my story
And I'm in the middle of the madness
The living loose, finding who I'm gonna be
From the places I've been to wherever I'll go
From the start to the end
I'm still learning the road between
At that point, Addie leaned over and kissed her, right as Addie's mom opened the door and the two immediately parted. Mrs. Chan closed the door with a blush on her face.
"Sorry, I need to remember to knock." She apologized through the wood. "Dinner is ready."
The two girls had matching blushes as they considered the situation.
"We cannot tell about this." Cori stated. "I don't want people to know that I'm batty."
"I don't know what that means." Addie replied as she straightened her hair.
"Gay, it means gay." Cori explained in frustration. "You might not be into labels, but applies to me and I don't want people to know about it."
"Well I'm not really into public displays of affection either." Addie said. "I'm not gonna tell."
The next day, Danny came up to Milla in the hallway.
"I want to sing a duet with you." He told her.
"What makes you think that I should do that?" Milla questioned. She had decided that she was going to play hard to get so he wouldn't think that she was easy.
"Well I'm a fun guy and I like to party." Danny replied.
"It sounds like you came right out of a Luke Bryan song." She commented.
"I think that our voices would sound good together." He added. "I have the lyrics that you can read if you're interested."
"I'll put it under consideration." She replied as she walked away.
They did end up singing together in front of the club at the end of the week.
Bet your window's rolled down and your hair's pulled back
And I bet you got no idea you're going way too fast
You're trying not to think about what went wrong
You're trying not to stop till you get where you're going
You're trying to stay awake so bet you turned on the radio
And the song goes
I can't live without you, I can't live without you baby
I can't live without you, I can't live without you baby
The highway won't hold you tonight
The highway don't know you're alive
The highway don't care if you're all alone
But I do, I do
The highway won't dry your tears
The highway don't need you here
The highway don't care if you're coming home
But I do, I do
I can't live without you, I can't live without you baby
I can't live without you, I can't live without you baby
The highway don't care
The highway don't care
The highway don't care
But I do, I do
The highway don't care
I can't live without you, I can't live without you baby
The highway don't care
I can't live without you, I can't live without you baby
But I do, I do
I can't live without you, I can't live without you baby
Sebastian was happy to see the club's first duet. In fact, he had an idea for the next week's assignment.
So we had a first kiss in this chapter, but no relationships have officially formed yet. The songs in this chapter are "Bartender" by Lady Antebellum, "How Could I Want More" by Jamie Lynn Spears, "Before He Cheats" by Carrie Underwood, "Road Between" by Lucy Hale, and "Highway Don't Care" by Tim McGraw and Taylor Swift. Please don't forget to review.
