All That We Could Be

Chapter Fifteen

Fallon lay on her bed. Sleep wouldn’t come. She hated this feeling. She was tired and wanted to sleep, but her mind hadn’t exhausted it self yet. It was still whirring with thoughts of maybe if she handled things differently with Daniel, maybe it would work out. Stop thinking about the what-ifs…-Fallon thought angrily.

As Fallon finally fell asleep, her thoughts had still been about Daniel.

Fallon drove to school on a foggy Monday morning. Her Sunday had been just as bad as her Saturday. Only Fallon had ended up going to dinner with William. This time she had tried to put her heart into it. It was a nice evening, until William had asked if Fallon wanted to go over to his flat for a movie. Fallon had declined by telling him she had school and had some homework to finish. William had been disappointed. Fallon didn’t really care though; she didn’t want to be any more seriously involved with William than she already was.

Fallon had gone to school early so that she could have some time in the computer lab. She had to finish her computer programming assignment. When she got to the lab, it was empty. She sat at her favorite chair which was located next to a huge window. She logged in to the system and got to work. There was only a little to be done.

Fifteen minutes later she was finished. She went on to the internet and checked her course page. Her chemistry assignment wasn’t due until later next week, other than that she only had to read the text books for her other courses.

Fallon decided to check the Popjustice.com web page. Sure enough her interview had been posted. Hoping that she didn’t look too stupid, Fallon clicked on the icon, which was a picture of her album, and the page loaded to show:

The Twenty Things About Fallon That You Don’t Know!

Well readers, we have finally posted the long awaited interview with Fallon. We can say that she was nice enough to meet. We may have taken a serious tone with this interview but we couldn’t help but ask some random questions. From all the answers she gave us, we compiled this list of twenty things you all probably don’t know. You’re probably wondering what questions we asked to get such a list. We aren’t telling. Maybe next time we see her, we’ll ask some serious ones.

So Fallon what do we all not know about you…hmm?

When I was in elementary school I wanted to be a Formula One NASCAR race car driver.

In high school and now in university I’m terrified of skiving off class and getting caught.

I love reading ‘Twilight’ because I have a huge crush on Edward.

My favorite girl band is Girls Aloud.

I measure time in days and hours until the next ‘Gossip Girl’ and ‘Privileged’ episodes air so that I can watch them online.

My favorite characters from ‘Gossip Girl’ are Blair and Chuck.

When I had math tests in elementary school…I used to get magically sick with a real fever the night before…and I wouldn’t be able to go to school.

My favorite soccer team is Manchester United, and my favorite player has been Cristiano Ronaldo.

When I was in high school in Canada, I used to listen to this radio show on CBC Radio 1 called ‘Canadia 2056’ and sometimes the sound effects would scare me so badly that I wouldn’t be able to sleep…you’ve never heard the screaming ghost of the crewman…*shudders*

I took ‘Transportation Technology’ throughout high school…and I beat the guys with my marks! Plus I was really clumsy…one of my friends in my group took off the steering wheel in one of the cars we were working on…and not even five seconds later…I hit my head on the steering rod…

I’m scared of elevators…I got lost once when I was little.

I love my car…it’s usually cleaner than my room…

I read lots of books…my library is full of books…so now I put them in boxes…

I’m scared of spiders…my little sister used to rid them for me…

I love swimming…and camping…it’s always fun to do that with my family.

I got to spend one summer on a farm…and I loved it! You can actually see the stars in the country skies!

My favorite subjects in university are Chemistry, Computer Programming, Astronomy…I love Biology too…but I’m not a fan of dissections…

I’ve had to dissect a frog in grade 8, a pig in grade 11, I saw a sheep head dissection in grade 12, and in first year of university I dissected a worm, cricket and rat…

One of my favorite songs of all time is ‘Crush’ by David Archuleta.

My favorite video game is Burnout: Legends…because I love the road rage part of the game…and knocking cars out…

By the time Fallon had finished reading the article, she was snickering. They had picked some pretty sad points about her. Most people would probably never take her seriously again. Then again people would probably have a laugh at her.

Fallon logged off the computers and went to class still snickering, of all the things those people at ‘Popjustice’ could have chosen, they went for the ones she hadn’t really meant to tell. It was just her luck.

As Fallon sat in her lecture hall, she thought about how Craig might react. Then again, she didn’t really care. It wasn’t as though they had written about her music…and said how bad it was. They hadn’t even attacked her. Over all if she looked at it, it was a huge relief that they hadn’t said anything to hurt her.

Fallon relaxed in to her seat and got out her paper and pen. She decided to take out her text book…she needed to read up on the chapter that they would be covering today.

Fallon read until her lecture started. For the first time Fallon could honestly believe that maybe her music career would be alright.
