I'm so sorry for taking so long to upload this. I just got lost on another story and fprgot about this one. But here is the next chapter and i hope you all enjoy. It's kind of short, but the next one will be longer, i promise.
3 weeks had gone by and Clarissa and Tyler were still together. People at school were a little confused by their dating, but they didn't care and ignored what people said, especially Lisa and Roy.
"Lisa is a total jerk. I can't believe I ever wanted to be her friend." Ashton said one morning, her, Clarissa and Emma at their lockers.
"She's always been a jerk. A snobby jerk." Emma said and Clarissa smiled.
"Who cares. I'm over it." Clarissa said.
"So how has it been with the idiot I call my brother?" Emma asked.
"It's been really good. He's really quite sweet." Clarissa said.
"Speaking of Tyler." Ashton said, nodding towards Tyler who was a little down the hall at his locker talking with Kirby, Quincy's brother that was Tyler's age. Clarissa and Emma looked back and when Tyler caught Clarissa's eye, he smiled and then shut his locker, he and Kirby going over to the girls.
"Hey." Tyler said, giving Clarissa a quick kiss and then rolling his eyes when Emma fake vomited.
"I'm going to do that every time I see you and Quincy kiss and see how you like it." Clarissa said.
"Hey Emma, Quincy told me to tell you that he has the flu and can't make it today." Kirby said and Emma sighed.
"Well, I have to get to class. Bye." Kirby said a moment later and then he walked off.
"He's so weird." Ashton said.
"Gibby's his dad. And he isn't that bad once you get to know him." Tyler said.
"Oh. Are you still doing that thing later?" Clarissa asked Tyler and he nodded.
"I can't believe you made me do this. I don't wanna." Tyler said and Clarissa rolled her eyes.
"You'll be fine. Just stop being a baby." Clarissa said.
"What are you two talking about?" Emma asked.
"Nothing. Clarissa is just making me do something that is seriously out of my comfort zone. Anyway, I have to get to class before Kirby starts calling me to get there. Bye." Tyler said, leaning down and kissing Clarissa deeply for a second, giving her a smile before walking away to class.
"Okay. What was he talking about? Out of his comfort zone? What are you making him do?" Emma asked.
"You'll have to wait to find out. It's a secret." Clarissa said and Emma and Ashton looked at each other as their best friend turned and walked away.
"We have to find out what their hiding." Emma said.
"Sneaking around time?' Ashton said.
"Sneaking around time." Emma nodded and the two closed their lockers before walking after Clarissa to class.
Later that day, around the end of the day, everyone filed into the school hall for their school assembly, parents including Freddie, Sam, Carly, Andy, Gibby and Tasha there as well.
"Has anyone seen Tyler? He usually sits with us at assembly's." Ashton said to Jason, Kayla, Emma, Ashton and Kirby when they were all seated.
"Who knows? He's probably off with his basketball buddies in the front row." Jason said, glancing at Clarissa. They both knew where he really was, but neither wanted to spill, at least not until he was out in the open.
"Welcome students and parents to the last assembly of the year. I hope you all have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year." Principal Barton said into the microphone on the stage.
"Now, to give this assembly a nice twist, I would like to welcome someone onto the stage to sing Cold December Night, Michael Buble's version. I hope you all enjoy. Please give a warm welcome to Tyler Benson." Principal Barton said and clapping and cheers filled the hall as Tyler walked onto the stage, everyone really confused as to what was happening. However, when Tyler started to sing, louder cheers filled the halls as his singing was mesmerising.
"Stockings are hung with care
As Children sleep with one eye open
Well, now there's more than toys at stake
Cause I'm older now but not done hoping.
The twinkling of the lights
The scent of candles fill the household
Old Saint Nick has taken flight
With a heart on board so please be careful.
Each year I ask for many different things
But now I know what my heart wants you to bring
So please just fall in love with me this Christmas
There's nothing else that I will need this Christmas
Won't be wrapped under a tree
I want something that lasts forever
So kiss me on this cold December night.
A tree that smells of pine
A house that's filled with joy and laughter
The mistletoe says stand in line
Loneliness is what I've captured
Oh but this evening can be a holy night
Let's cozy on up by the fireplace
And dim those Christmas lights
So please just fall in love with me this Christmas
There's nothing else that you will need this Christmas
Won't be wrapped under a tree
I want something that lasts forever
So kiss me on this cold December night.
They call it the season of giving
I'm here, I'm yours for the taking
They call it the season of giving
I'm here, I'm yours
Just fall in love with me this Christmas
There's nothing else that we will need this Christmas
Won't be wrapped under a tree
I want something that lasts forever
Cause I don't wanna be alone tonight
I'll wear you like a Christmas sweater
Walk proudly to the mistletoe tonight
I want something to last forever
So kiss me on this cold December night.
They call it the season of giving
I'm here, I'm yours for the taking
They call it the season of giving
I'm here, I'm yours"
As Tyler sang, his eyes never stopped looking around at all of the people in the hall. People had started clapping to the beat of the song and everyone was swaying and standing. Tyler had never been so ecstatic in his entire life and he felt his heart racing before, during and after singing.
"Thank you." Tyler said into the microphone before he went and handed it to Principal Barton again, going off of the stage and going to the backstage which was just a little bit more of the hall. Tyler could hear the clapping go on for several minutes after he sung and his heart kept beating fast.
When the assembly ended and everyone was dismissed, Tyler instantly went in search of his family and friends, finding Clarissa first and pulling her into a tight hug.
"I am so glad you made me do this. I love you." Tyler said and then his eyes widened when he realised what he'd just said.
