Sebastian two letters on the board: JT.
"Who knows what these letters stand for?" He asked the group.
"Japan Tobacco?" Jacobi guessed. Everyone stared at her. "Not that I've ever used it."
"James Taylor?" Chace answered.
"No." Sebastian replied as he wrote some more letters underneath them. "Justin Timberlake. He started his career as part of the Mickey Mouse Club before he joined *NYSNC. He then become comparable to Diana Ross and George Michael in that he had greater success after leaving the group. For the assignment, you'll be performing any songs with Justin Timberlake on them, whether as a lead performer, feature, or member of *NSYNC. However, there will be no Lonely Island songs because they're not school appropriate. Who wants to go first?"
"Chace and I have been working on something." Mustafa replied.
The two of them stepped to the center of the room and Chace began to sing.
If I wrote you a symphony, just to say how much you mean to me (what would you do?)
If I told you you were beautiful would you date me on the regular (tell me, would you?)
Well, baby I've been around the world but I aint seen myself another guy (like you)
This ring here represents my heart but there's just one thing I need from you (say "I do")
Yeah, because I can see us holding hands, walking on the beach, our toes in the sand
I can see us on the countryside, sitting on the grass, laying side by side
You could be my baby, let me make you go crazy boy, you amaze me
Aint gotta do nothing crazy see, all I want you to do is be my love
(So don't give away) My love (So don't give away) My love
(So don't give away) Aint another man that can take your spot, my love
(So don't give away) My love (So don't give away) My love
(So don't give away) Aint another man that can take your spot, my love
Mustafa then started rapping, looking at Jasmine.
I don't know why she hesitates for man, Shorty, cool as a fan
On the new once again but, still has fan from Peru to Japan
Listen baby, I don't wanna ruin your plan if you got a man, try to lose him if you can
Cause the girls worldwide throw their hands up high
When they wanna come kick it with a stand-up guy
(Trust me) You don't really wanna let the chance go by
'cause you aint been seen with a man so fly
Baby friends so fly I can go fly private, cause I handle my B.I.
They call me candle guy, simply because I am on fire
I hate to have to cancel my vacation so you can't deny
I'm patient, but I aint gonna try you don't come, I aint gonna die
Hold up, what you mean, you can't go why? Me and your boyfriend we aint no tie
You say you wanna kick it when I aint so high? Well, baby it's obvious that I aint your guy
Aint gon' lie, I feel your space but forget your face, I swear I will
St. Bart, St. Bulla anywhere I chill just bring wit me a pair, I will
Yeah, because I can see us holding hands, walking on the beach, our toes in the sand
I can see us on the countryside, sitting on the grass, laying side by side
You could be my baby, let me make you go crazy boy, you amaze me
Aint gotta do nothing crazy see, all I want you to do is be my love

(So don't give away) My love (So don't give away) My love
(So don't give away) Aint another man that can take your spot, my love
"That was great guys." Sebastian told them.
After school, Jasmine decided to go somewhere by herself. She wanted to buy a few Justin Timberlake CDs because she didn't know what song that she wanted to sing for the week.
"Ah Justin Timberlake." A guy interrupted. She looked up to see that he had long dark brown hair. "Hey, I know who you are. You're Jasmine Rodriguez from the Songbirds. I remember you as the girl that was in the hospital during Sectionals."
"Funny, I don't know who you are." She quipped.
"Robbie St. James. I go to Carmel High." He declared as he held out his hand for her.
"So you're the enemy." She stated.
"Don't think of me as a competitor. Just think of me as a guy who would love to get to know you." He suggested.
"You know I already have a boyfriend." Jasmine replied.
"High school relationships are very fickle." Robbie commented. "How would you like to have a friendly duet? It doesn't have to mean anything other than two people who enjoy music."
He grabbed a guitar off of the rack and began to play.
Can this be true?
Tell me can this be real?
How can I put into words what I feel?
My life was complete
I thought I was whole
Why do I feel like I'm losing control?
Never thought that love could feel like this
Then you changed my world with just one kiss
And how can it be that right here with me?
There's an angel, it's a miracle
Your love is like a river, peaceful and deep
Your soul is like a secret I never could keep
When I look into your eyes, I know that it's true
God must've spent a little more time on you
Never thought that love could feel like this
Then you changed my world with just one kiss
And how can it be that right here with me?
There's an angel, it's a miracle
Your love is like a river, peaceful and deep
Your soul is like a secret I never could keep
When I look into your eyes, I know that it's true
God must've spent a little more time on you
As they stood close together, she couldn't help but want to kiss him, but she knew that she had to resist. She walked away, unable to deny how turned on singing with him felt.
The next day Emerson went to find Chace in the hallway. His boyfriend was dressed up in his baseball uniform.
"I thought that you were going to quit the team." Emerson reminded him.
"I decided not to." Chace replied. "I can major in acting in college and still play baseball."
"I don't get you." Emerson declared. "Maybe the music of Justin will help you out."
Aren't you something to admire cause shine is something like a mirror
And I can't help but notice you reflect in this heart of mine
If you ever feel alone and the glare makes me hard to find
Just know that I'm always parallel on the other side
Cause with your hand in my hand and a pocket of soul
I can tell you there's no place we couldn't go
Just put your hand on the glass I'll be trying to pull you through
You just got be strong
Cause I don't wanna lose you now, I'm looking right at the other half of me
The vacancy that sat in my heart is now a space that you hold
Show me how to fight for now and I tell you baby it was easy
Coming back into you once I figured it out, you were right here all along
It's like your my mirror my mirror staring back at me
I couldn't get any bigger with anyone else beside of me
And now it's clear as this promise that we're making two reflections into one
Cause it's like you're my mirror my mirror staring back at me, staring back at me
Yesterday is history, tomorrow's a mystery
I can see you looking back at me, keep your eyes on me, keep your eyes on me
Cause I don't wanna lose you now, I'm looking right at the other half of me
The vacancy that sat in my heart is now a space that you hold
Show me how to fight for now and I tell you baby it was easy
Coming back into you once I figured it out, you were right here all along
It's like your my mirror my mirror staring back at me
I couldn't get any bigger with anyone else beside of me
And now it's clear as this promise that we're making two reflections into one
Cause it's like you're my mirror my mirror staring back at me, staring back at me
"You're not going to lose me just because I play baseball." Chace assured him.
At lunch, Jasmine met up with Aria. She had something that she needed to talk about that she couldn't say to Mustafa.
"So I have a problem." She explained. "Yesterday, I met this guy. We sang a duet together and I really liked it but aside from the fact that he's not my boyfriend, he also goes to Carmel High."
"Isn't that the school that we're competing with at Regionals?" Aria asked.
"Yes." Jasmine confirmed. "It's not easy to like another guy."
"What's this about?" Mustafa interrupted.
"Nothing happened." Jasmine explained. "We just sang a song together."
"Did you want something to happen?" He asked her.
"That's not the point." She argued. "I'm telling you that nothing happened."
He stormed away from her and she stood there, not sure why he was even upset.
That afternoon in Glee, he was singing a song by himself.
It's gonna be me
You might been hurt babe that aint no lie
You've seen them all come and go oh
I remember you told me that it made you believe in
No man, no cry maybe that's why
Every little thing I do never seems enough for you
You don't wanna lose it again, but I'm not like them
Baby when you finally get to love somebody
Guess what it's gonna be me
There comes a day when I'll be the one
It's gonna, gonna, gonna, it's gonna be me
All that I do is not enough for you
Don't wanna lose it, but I'm not like that
When finally you get to love
Guess what it's gonna be me
Every little thing I do never seems enough for you
You don't wanna lose it again, but I'm not like them
Baby when you finally get to love somebody
Guess what it's gonna be me
Every little thing I do never seems enough for you
You don't wanna lose it again, but I'm not like them
Baby when you finally get to love somebody
Guess what it's gonna be me
After everything was over, Jasmine decided to go to Carmel High and tell Robbie that she wasn't interested.
"So I see that you can't resist me." He commented.
"Robbie, you seem like a nice guy, but I can't do this." She remarked.
"Are you sure that's what you really want?" He asked.
"You know that there's no way that we could ever work." She pointed out. "We go to separate schools that will be competing at Regionals. Nothing good could come from it."
She turned to walk away, but he grabbed her and kissed her. She wanted to slap him, but instead she kissed back.
"Just give me a chance." He instructed.
She then walked away, now feeling very conflicted.
The following day, they were preparing their group number. Danny was singing lead.
Hey hey bye bye bye
Bye bye bye bye
I'm doing this tonight, you're probably gonna start a fight
I know this can't be right hey baby come on
I loved you endlessly and you weren't there for me
So now it's time to leave and make it alone
I know that I can't take no more it aint no lie
I wanna see you out that door baby bye bye bye
Don't wanna be a fool for you, just another player in your game for two
You may hate me but it aint no lie baby bye bye bye

At that point Cori came in.
I'm giving up I know for sure I don't wanna be the reason for your love no more
I'm checking out I'm signing off I don't wanna be the loser and I've had enough
I don't wanna be your fool in this game for two
So I'm leaving you behind bye bye bye
I don't wanna make it tough (Make it tough)
But I've had enough (And it aint no lie bye bye bye)
Don't wanna be a fool for you, just another player in your game for two
You may hate me but it aint no lie baby bye bye bye
Don't really want make it tough, I just wanna tell you that I had enough
Might sound crazy but it aint no lie baby bye bye bye
Bye bye
After the song was over, Jasmine needed to figure out what to do.
So there's another chapter this week. Robbie is played by Joe Jonas. The songs are "My Love", "God Must've Spent", "Mirrors", "It's Gonna Be Me", and "Bye Bye Bye". Please don't forget to review.
