What's wrong with being complicated.
"Melissa did you get the lyrics?" Spark asked as she rolled the tip of her hair with her yellow pen, she was looking weird today because she was wearing a sun shade glasses. Spark had sent Ben who was sitting next to me away and had technically taken his seat.
"yeah" I said as I touched my blue plain t-shirt
"can't wait for rehearsals" Spark said.
"Melissa, Sandy mind your manners" Mrs Robert screamed(we were actually in English class)
"okay Spark, did you talk to the boys?" I asked.
"nope, they've actually been busy with their baseball practice and they're over there" Spark said as she pointed at the front row of the seats where Drake and Cyril were sitting.
"since when did Cyril and Drake become too serious about baseball? , what ever see you at rehearsals then" I said.
"Quiet Melissa" Mrs Robert shouted as she held her extremely long red armless gown.
"Mrs Robert we're sorry" I apologized.
"so... Did you listen to other artistee apart from Alessia Cara?" Spark asked as she buttoned her check shirt.
"yeah, I think I like Tatiana" I replied.
"Am proud of you girl" Spark remarked.
"I know" I said.
"awwwn" Spark said.
"Spark how come you don't have a boyfriend?" I asked.
"I've not seen the perfect match" Spark replied.
"what about Cyril? , thought you had feelings for him" I said.
"nope, never had" Spark replied.
"okay how's your mum, thanks to her for giving my mum a job" I said.
"it's nothing" Spark said.
"Melissa, Spark Quiet" Mrs Robert shouted at the top of her tiny voice.

After English class Cyril, Drake, Spark and I rushed to the music room.
"Melissa where's the lyrics?" Drake asked.
"here" I said as I handed a rough sheet of paper where I'd written the lyrics with a black pen.
"your writing's very sad" Cyril said.
"ahrr" I grumbled.
"Drake read the lyrics out" Spark shouted as she hit Cyril on his black jacket with a gold metal zip which he had worn with a t-shirt that "every boys rule" was written boldly with red and he had worn a black baggy jeans.
In this proud land we grew up strong
We were wanted all along
I was taught to fight, taught to win
I never thought I could fail
No fight left or so it seems
I am a man whose dreams have all deserted
I've changed my face, I've changed my name
But no one wants you when you lose
[Chorus 1:]
Don't give up 'cause you have friends
Don't give up, you're not beaten yet
Don't give up, I know you can make it good
[Verse 2: ]
Though I saw it all around
Never thought that I could be affected
Thought that we'd be last to go
It is so strange the way things turn
Drove the night toward my home
The place that I was born, on the lakeside
As daylight broke, I saw the earth
The trees had burned down to the ground
[Chorus 2: ]
Don't give up, you still have us
Don't give up, we don't need much of anything
Don't give up, 'cause somewhere there's a place where we belong
[Bridge: Kate Bush & Peter Gabriel]
Rest your head, you worry too much
It's going to be alright
When times get rough, you can fall back on us
Don't give up, please don't give up
Got to walk out of here, I can't take any more
Gonna stand on that bridge, keep my eyes down below
Whatever may come and whatever may go
That river's flowing, that river's flowing
[Verse 3: ]
Moved on to another town
Tried hard to settle down
For every job, so many men
So many men no-one needs
[Chorus 3: ]
Don't give up 'cause you have friends
Don't give up, you're not the only one
Don't give up, no reason to be ashamed
Don't give up, you still have us
Don't give up now, we're proud of who you are
Don't give up, you know it's never been easy
Don't give up 'cause I believe there's a place
There's a place where we belong
[Interlude]
[Outro]
Don't give up, don't give up, don't give up
Don't give up, don't give up, don't give up
Don't give up, don't give up, don't give up
Don't give up, don't give up, don't give up
Don't give up, don't give up, don't give up
Drake read
"Melissa nice lyrics, you put a lot of effort into this" Spark said.
"thanks" I replied.
"do we have a tune yet? " Cyril asked.
"yeah, we're gonna sing it like this" Spark said as she began to give the song a catchy tune.
"wow! Nice tune" I said.
"let set this place on fire then" Cyril said as he threw his drum sticks up and caught them instantly.
"okay" I said as I took the acoustic guitar and hung it on my shoulder and went to a microphone stand,Drake then took the brown bass guitar and hung it on his shoulder and went to the microphone close to mine and then Cyril rushed to the drum set and Spark to the black motiff keyboard and we began to set the place on fire.
"we're going to crash prom night" Cyril said as we ended the song.
"prom night is next week" Spark said.
"yeah" I said as I remembered that Alessia Caras show was the day before prom.
"so... Melissa you thinking of going shopping for gowns?" Spark asked.
"yeah" I replied with a smile.
"cmon man we've got baseball practice remember?" Drake said as they both rushed to their useless baseball practice.
***************
"don't you think what we're about doing is a little cruel?" Jane asked Requel in the ladies bathroom.
"nope" Requel replied rudely looking at herself in the mirror.
"but sometimes I feel like Melissa doesn't deserve all these" Jane said.
"why're you taking her side now, After coming this far with me?" Requel asked as she applied a red lip gloss on her lips.
"Requel am leaving this squad" Jane said.
"leave?" Requel asked rhetorically as she laughed.
"yeah, am tired of being treated like a slave, I thought joining your squad will make me happy, you caused all these you lured me to joining your fuckn squad" Jane said as tears fell down from her eyes.
"so?" Requel asked.
"you made me betray my cousin you're evil" Jane said as she sobbed.
"you're.." Requel saidc as Jane interrupted.
"Am leaving"
"you can go" Requel said.
"yeah I will" Jane said.
"After I show the whole school a video of you kissing Ben's lips ewwww his decayed lips" Requel threatened.
"you won't dare" Jane said.
"oh yeah, try me" Requel said.
**************
I sat on my white bed in my room as I went through some dumb messages on whatsapp, Facebook and followed some celebrities on Instagram. It had been a while since mum had bought my Huawei p30 lite phone, she had bought it for me because I had complained to her that I needed a phone for a few things. I had taken the phone to school and used it for some things but the funniest part is that my band mate dont even know I've gotten a phone because I didn't tell them and I chat with Drake everyday on Facebook but because I used a fake name and a fake profile picture, he didn't know I was the one chatting with him.
"Melissa" Jasper shouted as he rushed into my room of course without knocking.
"what is it? " I demanded.
"I told the girl my feelings and look what she did" Jasper replied as he showed me a huge bruise on his face.
"woah" I said.
"yeah"
"what did you tell mum when she asked what happened to you? " I asked.
"I told her that I fell when I was running "
"hmmm... Look Jasper maybe that girl is not the one for you maybe if you're Older you'll understand" I said as I placed my hands on his shoulder. He was a cute little brother with long face, black eyes, black brows and red lips that he always sucked on every seconds.
"maybe when am older" Jasper said as he ran out of my room.
"hmmm" I sighed as I rested on my bed to take a nap.
