Chapter 12:Battle Of The Bands...Round 1

Start from the beginning
                                    

Valarie is in a maroon off the shoulder dress. She has brown eye shadow and light pink lipstick. Her shoes are brown flats and her hair is in tight curls.

"OMG! WE LOOK SO HOT!" Courtney screams. We all laugh.

"Well, let's not let this look go to waste. C'mon! We gotta go." Valarie nags. We all go down and go to the club.

!@#$%^&*()

We're the first group so that makes us nervous. The guys are going second. There's 10 bands competing. Only 5 will make it to the second round and only 3 will make it to the last round.

"Okay, first up, The Aura Of Heaven!" The announcer guy announces. We go up on stage and set up. Then Maya counts to 4 and we start playing.

Me:State the obvious, I didn't get my perfect fantasy
I realize you love yourself more than you could ever love me
So go and tell your friends that I'm obsessive and crazy
That's fine I'll tell mine that you're gay!
By the way...

Olivia and Me:I hate that stupid old pickup truck
You never let me drive
You're a redneck heartbreak
Who's really bad at lying
So watch me strike a match
On all my wasted time
As far as I'm concerned you're
Just another picture to burn!

Me:There's no time for tears,
I'm just sitting here planning my revenge
There's nothing stopping me
From going out with all of your best friends
And if you come around saying sorry to me
My daddy's gonna show you how sorry you'll be

Olivia and Me:I hate that stupid old pickup truck
You never let me drive
You're a redneck heartbreak
Who's really bad at lying
So watch me strike a match
On all my wasted time
As far as I'm concerned you're
Just another picture to burn!
And if you're missing me,
You'd better keep it to yourself
'Cause coming back around here
Would be bad for your health...

Me:'Cause I hate that stupid old pickup truck
You never let me drive
You're a redneck heartbreak
Who's really bad at lying
So watch me strike a match
On all my wasted time
In case you haven't heard,
I really really hate that...

All:I hate that stupid old pickup truck
You never let me drive
You're a redneck heartbreak
Who's really bad at lying
So watch me strike a match
On all my wasted time
As far as I'm concerned you're
Just another picture to burn!

Olivia and Me:Burn, burn, burn, baby, burn
You're just another picture to burn
Baby, burn...

When we're finished everyone cheers but I'm not really paying attention. I'm having an intense staring contest with Xavier. We walk off stage and the guys walk on stage. The announcer says the same thing with different names and they begin playing.

Xavier:I'm still trying to figure out how to tell you I was wrong
I can't fill the emptiness inside since you've been gone
So is it you or is it me?
I know I said things that I didn't mean
But you should've known me by now
You should've known me

All: If you believed
When I said
I'd be better off without you
Then you never really knew me at all
If you believed
When I said
That I wouldn't be thinking about you
You thought you knew the truth but you're wrong
You're all that I need
Just tell me that you still believe

Xavier:I can't undo the things that led us to this place
But I know there's something more to us than our mistakes
So is it you or is it me
I know I'm so blind when we don't agree
But you should've known me by now

All:You should've known me
Cuz you're all that I want
Don't you even know me at all
You're all that I need
Just tell me that you still believe

Everyone cheers again and the girls and I whistle. They walk off stage and the next group is announced.

!@#$%^&*()

Okay, they're posting who got into the next round on the projector. It's up now!

1.The Aura Of Heaven

2.Fire And Ice

3.Urban Weapons

4.The Killer Wolves

5.Toxic Waste

"Congratulations to the five groups who made it and sorry to the five who didn't, very sorry. The next catagory is love. We're taking a thirty minute break. If you were in the first place group, you're going first. If you're in the second group you go second and so on." The announcer guy says. The girls squeal and hug me. Fire And Ice was pretty good, so was The Killer Wolves. Toxic Waste was like an emo/goth group but it's cool. I don't judge. I'm just glad we made it to the second round.
