Wait a while

~ THREE ~

Me and Reese have been hanging out more and I think my feelings are getting stronger and stronger. But to be fair it's her job.​

Like today i am going to this school to preform and then we are going to the mall so i have a day planned out.​

We are going to meet at 8:30am and it's currently 7:30 so I gotta have a shower and get dressed in an hour.​

I choose my outfit and prepared it for when I get out the shower and head to the bathroom. After I think like ten minutes I had washed and had a little sing so I head back into the room to put on the outfit.​

BiNg​

I'm outside miss superstar​

Alright I'll be down in a min I'm nearly ready
And what have I said about calling me that​

I'm sorry ma'am​

I chuckle and head to outside once I'm
Ready after saying goodbye to my parents. As I shut the door I see the jeep on the side of the sidewalk.​

"Reese" i nod greeting her​

"O'Connell" she nods doing the same​

The drive to the school was quiet but mainly because I was nervous. This is the first time I'm performing since the talent show and Danny said that pretty much everyone in that school will know who I am so I am a lot more nervous than I was for the talent show.​

"Alright we have reached your destination. You ready?" Reese asks switching off the ignition and facing me​

"I- give me a sec" I say taking deep breaths trying to keep my breaths steady.​

She grabs my hands pulling me slightly into awkward hug since we are still sat on the car "I'm going to be with you Bil all the way. If you get on and you want come off straight away that is perfectly fine. I'll be standing on the side ready to bring you in for a hug. Trust me this is the worse part but as soon as your infront of everyone hearing the cheers all the nerves will go and you will be so happy in the moment"​

We get out of the car and have a proper hug before walking in the school. I put my sunglasses on the top of my head and walk in. Many people would be like the memories come back but I've never been to a public school I've only ever been homeschooled so it's a new experience for me.​

Walking in we get greeted with lockers on the side of the hallway straight away. The hallway then leads to the reception desk.​

"Hi"​

"Hiya, I'm Reese and this is billie eilish we have a meeting with Mr Smith" I was introduced with the receptionist and I smiled at her but she just looked nervous after she found out that I was billie eilish. It's weird.​

She picks up the phone and chats with someone for a couple of seconds and turns her attention to us.​

"He is ready for you just walk all the way down and the last right door by the stairs is his office he is in there waiting for you"​

"Alright thank you have a good day"​

We walk down the corridor receiving a couple of shocked looks. As we reach the door that says 'headmaster's office' I can feel my heart going faster and faster. Just as I feel panicky Reese grabs my hand and rubs my knuckles.​

"Bil breathe it with me okay. Deep breath in 1 2 3 and out 1 2 3 breath in 1 2 3 and out 1 2 3. I'll be here no matter what okay"​

After a couple of minutes we knock and wait until we can enter the office.​

"You must be miss O'Connell and you are umm who are you?"​

I can feel the tension start to rise between the man I would say about 40 year old and Reese.​

"I'm Reese her security guard" she says in a dont threat with me tone​

"You look a bit weak and small to be a security guard"​

Something I've learnt in the little while I have known Reese is not to underestimate her. Like at all. Like when this girl was a bit hansy she quickly jumped in making sure I was okay but I've seen her when she was training. She can box.​

"Don't worry about that that's not your issue to worry about is it" I try to hold in my laughter. And manage to.​

Luckily he didn't take long. Just running through what's going to happen and what not. So the plan is they are doing a talent show and before they say who wins I sing and then I can go.​

We walk in to the auditorium where I'm going to be singing and it's a lot bigger than the talent show. I'm talking a couple of hundred people but if they can do it I'll be able to do it. Well I hope.​

Our plan was to do like a victorious sort of scene so I'm really hot right now. I have two T-shirts on and baggy joggers over my shorts. A brown wig and a beanie on.​

So I sit at the top by the stairs so I have easy access getting down and prepare as people start piling in. A couple of people have been whispering saying how they swore that they saw billie eilish here earlier. Little do they know they are sat right next to me.​

An hour and half in and I get called up to the stage or should I say 'Natalie Coles'. I stand with the mic in my hand and ocean eyes starts playing. A couple people moan and im going to be honest i agree about 4 people have already sang it. So this will be the 5th time today it has played.​

I've been watching you for some time​
Can't stop staring at your ocean eyes​
Burning cities and napalm skies​
15 flares inside your ocean eyes​
Your ocean eyes​
No fair​
You really know how to make me cry​
When you give me those ocean eyes​
I'm scared​
I've never fallen from quite this high​
Falling into your ocean eyes​
Those ocean eyes​
I've been walking through a world gone blind​
Can't stop thinking about your diamond mind​
Careful creatures made​
Friends with time​
He left her lonely with a diamond mind​
And those ocean eyes​
No fair​
You really know how to make me cry​
When you give me those ocean eyes​
I'm scared​
I've never fallen from quite this high​
Falling into your ocean eyes​
Those ocean eyes​

Da da da da da da da da da da​
Da da da da da da da da da​
Mmm mmm mmm​

As i hum i put the mic in the stand and get out of the costume. Once people notice me they start screamingnand cheering and yelling it felt amazing.​

No fair​
You really know how to make me cry​
when you give me those ocean eyes​
I'm scared​
I've never fallen from quite this high​
Falling into your ocean eyes​
Those ocean eyes​

I finish and the headteacher comes on with his arm around my shoulder. Very uncomfortable. I'm not a really touchy person. I Love a good hug but physical contact like arm around the shoulder with a random stranger just makes me uncomfortable. That is if it's longer than it takes to take a photo.​

"Did yall like the suprise. Billie eilish the person who became famous from the homeschooled talent show. So I have given her the 1st 2nd and 3rd in this envelope and she will be giving the winners their medals and trophy"​

"Hi guys how are y'all doing" the room fills with screams and I chuckle "okay so in third place we got jack harris" he comes down and takes the medal standing next to me. I got to say i look so small compared to him hes like 6'5 and me well im 5'3. "Second place is Maddie Lea" she practically runs down screaming and hugs me "and finally in 1st place is grace beer"​

After greeting most of the school i finally get into the car and breathe. Reese has been in the background most of the day but i know she was worried.​

"You alright" I ask her. She hasn't said anything since we became alone snd that's been a solid 10 minutes.​

"Yeah im fine. Choose where you want to eat love its on me you deserve it. You smashed it."
