Girl Meets Lilith/ #Wattys2019

Girl Meets Friends?

"Of course we understand." Farkle said "And you're welcome to hang out with us until they get back."

"Thanks," Lilith smiled "that'd be great." Together the group walked to class.

The week sped by and soon Monday came again. Riley and Maya were back at school but it was tense. Clearly their friends were siding with Lilith. Maya was mad at them for not standing up for them and Riley... well, Riley still wanted to find out who Lilith really was. But Lilith was doing everything in her power to stay away from Riley. Riley wasn't having it.

"Hi Lilith!" She popped out from behind Lilith's locker door "How are you today?"

Lilith sighed and slammed her locker door shut "Please leave me alone, Riley."

"But I want to talk to you." Riley pouted "Why can't we just talk?"

"What do you want to talk about?" Lilith rolled her eyes.

"Do you wanna have lunch with my friends and I?" Riley asked sweetly.

Lilith thought about it for a moment "If I say yes will you let me go to class?"

Riley nodded quickly.

"Then fine. I will eat lunch with you and your friends. But if you so much as hint about secrets I'm leaving. Deal?" Lilith agreed.

"Deal. I promise I won't ask about your secret today." Riley hopped up and down then skipped off down the hall.

Lilith rolled her eyes again and headed to music class. She was working on a song with the class called "A New World" from the originally titled musical "Songs For a New World." She was singing with three other kids, one other girl and two boys.

Lilith:
A new world calls across the ocean
A new world calls across the sky
A new world whispers in the shadows
Time to fly, time to fly

Connor:
It's about one moment
The moment before it all becomes clear
And in that one moment
You start to believe there's nothing to fear
It's about one second
And just when you're on the verge of success
The sky starts to change
And the wind starts to blow
And oh, you're suddenly a stranger
There's no explaining where you stand
And oh, you didn't know
That you sometimes have to go? Round an unexpected bend
And the road will end
In a new world

Lilith:
A new world calls for me to follow
A new world waits for my reply
A new world holds me to a promise
Standing by, standing by

Ava:
It's about one moment
That moment you think you know where you stand
And in that one moment
The things that you're sure of slip from your hand
And you've got one second
To try to be clear, to try to stand tall
But nothing's the same
And the wind starts to blow
And oh, you're suddenly a stranger
In some completely different land
And you thought you knew
But you didn't have a clue
That the surface sometimes cracks
To reveal the tracks
To a new world

Connor:
You have a house in the hills

Ava:
You have a job on the coast

Josh:
You find a lover you're sure you believe in

Connor:
You've got a pool in the back

Ava:
You get the part of your life

Josh:
You hold the ring in your hand

Connor:
But then the earthquake hits

Ava:
And the bank closes in

Josh:
Then you realize you didn't know anything

All:
Nobody told you the best way to steer
When the wind starts to blow

Connor:
And oh, you're suddenly a stranger

All:
All of a sudden:
You life is different than you planned

Connor:
And you'll have to stay?
Till you somehow find a way

All:
To be sure of what will be
Then you might be free

Lilith:
A new world crashes down like thunder
A new world charging through the air

Lilith and Connor:
A new world just beyond the mountain

Lilith, Ava, and Josh:
Waiting there, waiting there

All:
A new world shattering the silence
There's a new world I'm afraid to see
A new world louder every moment
Come to me, come to me!

When they finished practicing their song the teacher stood up and applauded

"That was fantastic!" The teacher cried "I want you to perform that at the pep assembly."

"Sure." They all agreed and decided on a time to meet. Then Lilith headed to lunch, praying that Riley would keep her word and not poke her nose into her secrets.

I don't own that song. I performed it at a camp this summer and it's been stuck in my head. I also wanted to give Lilith some musical talent because I feel like she deserves something of her own. Please comment, vote, and add to your reading lists!
