Chapter 14: It's Official

RRRRIIIINNNGGGGGG!

The bell for lunch sounded and I rushed out to the cafeteria, to see Felix beckoning me over to a table where OG, Oscar, Jessica and Omar all sat.

"Hey!" Felix smiled enthusiastically.

"Hi!" I answered, grinning back.

Jessica smirked. "They're so cute together!"

I blushed, and Felix kissed my my cheek, making me go redder than a tomato.

Oscar poked Felix.

"Felix. Felix. Sandy G. Felix. You. YO!" Oscar yelled.

"W-what?" stuttered Felix, disorientated.

"You zoned out whilst staring at Emili," laughed OG.

"Don't worry FeeFee! They're just jealous because they're bachelors!" Omar reassured Felix, pecking Jessica on the cheek.

Awe! They are really meant for each other! I hope it's the same for Felix and I...

I just...

"EMILIA!!!" Jessica shouted, waving her hand in front of my face. "Me, you and Felix have music class. We need to go!"

I ran after her, Felix following close behind.

"Hello, class!" announced Miss Walters, the music teacher. "Today, each student will be giving a performance. It can be a song, a dance, an instrument or a combination of the three."

I nodded, deep in thought.

"Emilia, why don't you go first?"

I took a deep breath and walked slowly up to the front of the class. Come on Emili, nows not the time for your stupid nerves!

I tapped the microphone, butterflies swirling in my stomach.

"Emm, hello. I'll be singing........ Just the way you are by Bruno Mars, but I've made a few changes."

Everyone clapped.

I opened my mouth, and began to sing.

"Ohhhhh ohhhhhh ohhhhhh ohhhhhhh

[Verse 1:]
Oh, his eyes, his. The eyes
Make the stars look like they're not shinin'
His hair, his hair
Falls perfectly without him trying
He's so beautiful
And I tell her everyday
Yeah

I know, I know
When I compliment him he won't believe me
And it's so, it's so
Sad to think that he don't see what I see
But every time he asks me, "Do I look okay?"
I say,

[Chorus:]
When I see your face (face, face...)
There's not a thing that I would change
'Cause you're amazing (amazing)
Just the way you are (are)
And when you smile (smile, smile...)
The whole world stops and stares for a while
'Cause, boy, you're amazing (amazing)
Just the way you are (are).
Yeah

[Verse 2:]
His lips, his lips
I could kiss them all day if she'd let me
His laugh, her laugh
He hates but I think it's so sexy
He's so beautiful
And I tell her everyday,

Oh you know, you know, you know
I'd never ask you to change
If perfect's what you're searching for
Then just stay the same
So don't even bother asking if you look okay
You know I'll say,

[Chorus:]
When I see your face (face, face...)
There's not a thing that I would change
'Cause you're amazing (amazing)
Just the way you are (are)
And when you smile (smile, smile...)
The whole world stops and stares for a while
'Cause, boy, you're amazing (amazing)
Just the way you are (are)

The way you are
The way you are
Boy, you're amazing (amazing)
Just the way you are (are)

[Chorus:]
When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
'Cause you're amazing (amazing)
Just the way you are (are)
And when you smile
The whole world stops and stares for a while
'Cause, boy, you're amazing
Just the way you are

Yeah."

I finished off holding the 'yeah' and Miss Walters looked shocked. I was probably terrible.

I walked gracefully back down to my seat, and Jessica poked my back.

"Emili! Why didn't you tell us you could sing that well?" she asked with an air of shock.

I shrugged, not believing her.

"Errrr, how about.... Felix next?" Miss Walters said, glancing down at her clipboard.

Felix strutted confidently up to the front, and grabbed the microphone.

"I'm going to be singing Check Yes Juliet." he announced. Well of course he's not nervous. He's in a band, for gods sakes!

Miss Walters leaned forward interestedly.

"
Check yes, Juliet
Are you with me?
Rain is falling down on the sidewalk
I won't go until you come outside
Check yes, Juliet
Kill the limbo
I'll keep tossing rocks at your window
There's no turning back for us tonight

[Pre-chorus:]
Lace up your shoes
Ayo ayo
Here's how we do

[Chorus:]
Run, baby, run
Don't ever look back
They'll tear us apart if you give them the chance
Don't sell your heart, don't say we're not meant to be
Run, baby, run, forever we'll be
You and me

Check yes, Juliet
I'll be waiting
Wishing, wanting yours for the taking
Just sneak out and don't tell a soul goodbye
Check yes, Juliet
Here's the countdown:
3, 2, 1, now fall in my arms now
They can change the locks, don't let them change your mind

[Pre-chorus]

[Chorus]

We're flying through the night
We're flying through the night
Way up high
The view from here is getting better with you by my side

Run, baby, run
Don't ever look back
They'll tear us apart if you give them the chance
Don't sell your heart, don't say we're not meant to be
Run, baby, run, forever we'll be

[Chorus]

You and me
You and me."

Felix trotted back to his chair, and grinned happily at me.

Life was good.
