I was trying to get through History class. I just couldnt! I was worried. Yes, Elizabeth Justine Cole was worried for the like Thousanth time!!
I looked at the clock. 2:34p.m.
Only a 20 more minutes till the bell will ring and I will have to g to Chorus. Where I was forced to Sing a Song. A Beatles Song, and not just any Beatles song! One that I have NEVER heard of Before! Crazy Huh? Thats what I thought. I thought I knew every song by The Beatles, Apparently NOT! I tried to my Hardest to Practice this Song but I just was not feeling it! I was worried that I was going to Ruin the song, Not sing the Lyrics right, and get off beat or something!
Last night, I had went to Someone that knows Every Beatles song. JULIE. I sang the song to her and she told me I sounded PERFECT! But of course she said that! She's MY sister, she's SUPPOST to say that stuff to me!
I was not Bought!
I looked back at the clock. Omg! Only 5 more minutes till the bell ringed.
4, 3, 2 , 1 RING!!!!!
I slowly picked up my backpack and my books. I walked out the door, slowly, and headed to my Locker with a Glum face.
I went to my locker, put my books in my locker, and then headed towards the Chorus room.
I had worn my outfit that I was wearing for my Performance all day, so I didnt have to change. I was wearing a Black Skirt and a white Button shirt. And Black boots. My hair was down.
I must have been in a Daze because I didnt here Casey calling me.
"Lizzie!!!" Casey yelled from down the hall.
Finally I heard her and turned around.
"Oh Hey Case" I said using my nickname for her.
"Hey! I have something to tell you!" Casey said happily.
"What" I asked her.
"Well...First, I'm loving this Beatles Assignment! I have the Perfect song for what I'm feeling right now! and Second, I bumped into Ryan the other day at the Park and guess what he told me!" Casey said.
"What?" I asked.
"He told me...That he likes ME more then a FRIEND!! It was kinda awkeward. After a while of talking to him and thinking about it..I relized that I DO Like Ryan!! I cant believe I'm just now figuring this out!" Casey said fast. When she was done she was out of breathe.
"I told you!" I said. I was so happy for her!
"Eek! And the song I'm singing for the Beatles assignment is..Got to get you into my life. I want him to know that the Feeling is Mutual!" Casey said.
"Omg! I'm soo Happy for you!" I said.
"Whats wrong? You dont seem happy at all!" Casey asked confused.
"No! I'am Happy for YOU! This is awesome! But..I'm not really happy about this Beatles Assignment" I told her.
"Why?" asked Casey.
"Because..The CD that I got I didnt even know of! And I just dont feel like I'm going to do good" I said glumly.
"Oh..Dont think Like that! You WILL do good! You do good with any song you sing!" Casey told me.
I nodded and said thanks as we aproached the Auditorium doors.
Casey gave me a look and then we went through the doors.
Everyone was Giggling and talking. Apparently they were all happy about this Assignment. Was I the only one who didnt Know my song AT ALL!!??
Callie Waved at us and pointed to 2 seats next to her that was By Prudence. We walked over there and I sat down.
I tried to act like I was happy and I knew what I was doing. I swear, Prudence can see right through me!
"Nervous?" She asked me.
I nodded my head.
She looked at me and told me "You'll do Fine!"
"Ya sure.." I said and rolled my eye's.
"You will! You always do!" Casey assured me.
"Good morning my little singers!" Mrs. Hodge said smiling. She was always smiling. There had to be something REALLY bad to keep her from smiling and looking on the bright side of things.
"Before we start our Performances I have some Very Exciting news!" Mrs. Hodge anounced.
Everyone looked at Mrs. Hodge.
"As you all know were having a Winter Dance here at school, and we will be Performing a song at the dance!" Mrs. Hodge told us.
Everyone cheered and started Talking.
"Now before you start talking about the dance, I'm not sure which Song we will be performing yet. I'am going to think about it tonight and I want you all to Come here at the end of the school day on Monday to get the Song List. Now I have more exciting News! Remember how we were going to Competition and I didnt know when the date was going to be?" Mrs. Hodge asked us.
People either said yes or nodded there head.
"Well..I have found out what day it will be on! It's going to be on January 12th! And Jake and Elizabeth will be our Sandy and Danny." Mrs. hodge said nodding at us. I drowned at her. Poeple clapped. I looked at Jake and Jake looked at me. WE were both frowning at eachother. I was NOT happy about the Sandy and danny thing anymore!
"If you dont mind we could Practice over Winter Break" Mrs. Hodge told Jake and me.
"Sure" Jake and I said weakly.
"Cool! There is going to be 2 categories we have to do at the Competition. But I'm not going to tell you what the Categories are until I figure out what songs we are going to sing." Mrs. hodge said. Some people groaned.
Mrs. Hodge clapped her hands. "Alrighty! Now were on to the Performances! I hope evryone liked the CD they got and Have picked a suitable song for them." Mrs. Hodge said. NOT ME!!
"Okay first Is...Jake!" Mrs. Hodge nodded to Jake, smiling.
Jake got out of his seat and walked on stage. He looked nice up on stage.
Omg! I had just relized that Jake never told me what song he was going to sing!
The music started. My mouth opened. The music was from my Favorite song by the Beatles! It was DIZZY MISS LIZZY!!! It was like my theme song!!
"You make me Dizzy miss Lizzy!" Jake said pointing to me.
"The way you rock in roll
You make me Dizzy Miss Lizzy
When you do the stroll
Come on, Miss Lizzy
Love me 'fore I grow to old" Jake said
Everyone looked from Jake to me. I blushed and was basically Frozen! But this wasnt going to change my mind about him!
"Come on, give me fever,
Put your little hand in mine.
You make me dizzy Dizzy Lizzy,
Girl, you look so fine.
You're just a-rockin' and a-rollin',
Girl I Said I wish you were mine." Jake sang as he pointed to me.
"AHHH!! ooh! ooh! OWWW!" Jake singed as He jumped off the Stage and went over to me. My Eye's got big.
"Run and tell your mama
I want you to be my bride.
Run and tell your brother,
Baby don't run and hide.
You make me dizzy, Miss Lizzy,
Girl I want to marry you." Jake singed as he took my hand and pulled me off of my chair. I tried to resist.
He picked me up and carried me up the Stage Stairs. He twirled me around and then let me down. I looked at him with a mad face. I could not believe he was doing this! I looked at Prudence and Casey for support. They just looked at me in shock.
"Come on, give me fever,
Put your little hand in mine, girl.
You make me dizzy dizzy Lizzy,
Girl, you look so fine.
You're just a-rockin' and a-rollin',
Woo! I Said I wish you were mine." Jake singed. He looked at me with those big brown eye's that just made my legs feel like Rubber. But Lucky me, he took my back and held me up. I smield at him not relizing that I was. When I did I slapped his hands from my back. I didnt need his help!
The song stopped. I started to smile at him and alomost hugged him but I stopped myself.
The audience, which was the whole Chorus Group, clapped and Hollered.
Jake looked me in the eye's and spoke into the microphone.
"Elizabeth Justine cole, Remember how I acted like I was fine with our breakup? Well I'm not! I'm sorry for what I did! I just want to be your boyfriend again. I miss you! I'm sorry for what I did! I swear Nothing ever happened! Trust me, Katey is NOT my type! You are! And I want you back! I love you!" Jake said.
I stood there in shock. What was I suppost to do!
"Will you be my Girlfriend again Elly?" He asked me. He smiled when he said my nickname.
A little bit of a smile came across my face. I could feel he rest of the smile trying to form.
I let myself smile and said "Jake, I missed you so much! I regretted breaking up with you! YES I want you to be my Boyfriend again!" I hugged him and he hugged me back.
We pulled away and he kissed me. No not a cheak or head kiss! A REAL KISS! And his lips felt AWESOME!! I missed that!
I smiled and "Eeeped!" Like I always do when he does that to me. I looked at everyone in the Chorus group. They were still on shock. I twirled my Pin curls cause I was nervous!
Then they all suddenly bust out in CHEERS! Mrs. Hodge wooped and hollored. And even Casey and Prudence did!
Prudence clapped like crazy and wooped and hollored. Nathan whistled. Jake jumped off the stage and helped me down.
We went back to our seats. My face Probally looked like a Tomatoe.
Prudence went next and she was AWESOME!! Just like always! :)
Callie then went after Pru. And she totally ROCKED IT!! But The Beatles were like her Band and she, of course, was good at singing all of there songs.
"Okay Next is...Miss Elizabeth Cole!" Mrs. Hodge said smiling at me. I gave a week smile and stood up.
Casey, Prudence, and Jake gave me a You'll-Do-Fine! Look.
I walked up the Stage steps. I went towards the microphone. A big Spot light was shining down right on me! I shielded the Light away from my eye's with my hand. Has it always been this bright up on stage!! It never felt that way before.
"When your ready" Mrs. Hodge told me.
I nodded my head and the Music started.
It was coming to the part where I had to start to sing.
"Love, Love, Love.
Love, Love, Love.
Love, Love, Love." I singed weekly. I gave a weird face to the group.
"There's nothing you can do that can't be done.
Nothing you can sing that can't be sung.
Nothing you can say but you can learn how to play the game.
It's easy." I sang. Casey and Prudence gave me a big smile. If they were smiling I must be good!
""Nothing you can make that can't be made.
No one you can save that can't be saved.
Nothing you can do but you can learn how to be you in time.
It's easy." I singed with a little more confidence.
"All you need is love.
All you need is love.
All you need is love, love.
Love is all you need." I Put a little more voice into it.
"All you need is love.
All you need is love.
All you need is love, love.
Love is all you need." I was starting to really feel like I was doing GREAT at this song!
"Nothing you can know that isn't known.
Nothing you can see that isn't shown.
Nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be.
It's easy." I looked into the Audience and put all my effort into the rest of the song.
"All you need is love.
All you need is love.
All you need is love, love.
Love is all you need." I danced around the stage. I hugged myself and swayed around.
I motioned for Casey, Prudence, Callie, and molly to come up.
They hurried onto the stage and they sang for the backup.
"All you need is love" I sang.
"All together now!" Molly and Callie singed.
"All you need is love." Callie, Casey, Molly, Prudence, and me sang together.
"Everybody!" Casey and Prudence singed.
"Love is all you need " Everyone in Chorus got up and started Singing.
"love is all you need" I singed by myself.
"love is all you need" Prudence and Callie singed.
"love is all you need" Casey and Molly singed.
"love is all you need" I singed.
"Love is all you need" Molly singed. I thought she was looking at Keith but she turned her head quickly.
"Yesterday" I singed
"Love is all you need" Callie singed looking at Peter.
"Love is all you need" Casey singed looking at Ryan.
"Love is all you need" Prudence singed looking at Nathan.
I took center stage and sung like I've never sung before!
"Yee-hai!
Oh yeah!" I singed and danced around the stage.
I must have been light because Callie, Casey, Molly, and Prudence Lifted me up into the air on there shoulders.
"love is all you need, love is all you need,love is all you need, love is all you need, oh yeah oh hell yea! love is all you need love is all you need love is all you need." I singed as they twirled me around in the air.
The music stopped and everyone got up and cheered! I couldnt believe that I was nervous! I rocked it!
The girls slowly put me down and we held hands and jumped off the stage together.
Mrs. Hodge smiled a ear to ear smile.
"GREAT JOB!! Wonderful!" She told me.
Callie, Casey, Molly, Prudence, and me gave eachother high fives.
"You were awesome!" Casey said. Everyone agreed.
"Told you, you would do fine!! And you Rocked it!" Jake said and hugged me when we went back to my seat.
"Thanks!" I smiled at him and gave him a big bear hug.
"Well now that we were done with that WONDERFUL performance, Ryan your up next!" Mrs. Hodge anounced.
Ryan got up Nervously. Casey looked at him and smiled when He saw her. That must ahve boost his energy cause he Practically ran up the stage stairs.
He grabbed the microphone and nodded for the Music to start.
The Music started and he sang.
"You'll never know how much I really love you.
You'll never know how much I really care." He sang.
"Listen,
Do you want to know a secret?,
Do you promise not to tell?, whoa oh, oh" Ryan sung.
"Closer,
Let me whisper in your ear,
Say the words you long to hear,
I'm in love with you." Ryan sang as he swung the Microphone.
"Listen
Do you want to know a Secret?
Do you promise not to tell?, whoa oh, oh" Ryan sang as he got a guitar and started to play it.
"Closer
Let me Whisper in your ear
Say the words you long to hear
I'm in love with you" Ryan sang practically right to Casey but she seemed not to Notice! How can you NOT notice!!
"I've known the secret for a week or two
Nobody Knows, just we two" Ryan said as he stepped off the stage and circled around the Chorus group, that were in there seats, as he played the Guitar. I never knew he was GOOD at playing the guitar!
"He's good at playing the Guitar!" I whispered in Prudence and Caseys ears.
Prudence nodded and said "I know right!"
And Casey just stared at him and said "I knew!" and smiled.
"Listen
Do you want to know a Secret?
Do you promise not to Tell?, Whoa oh, Oh" Ryan was now right in front of Casey but he looked at the crowd.
Then He did something that I did not expect.
He looked at Casey and sang
"Closer
Let me whisper in your ear
Say the words you long to hear
I'm in Love with you!" Ryan singed and pointed to Casey. The whole Chorus gasped. They had already known that Ryan had a crush on Casey even when he didnt know! The gasped a Sarcastic gasp.
I looked at Casey. She just had a blak face on. She acted like she didnt even notice that He was pointing at her.
"Who's he pointing at?" Casey asked as she looked behind herself.
"YOU!!" Everyone in Chorus yelled, Even Mrs. Hodge!
I nodged Casey and smiled at her.
She was shocked. Literally her mouth dropped open and kinda started to drool a little. Her eye's were wide.
"Casey Leann Hills, Will you be my Girlfriend?" Ryan asked into the Microphone. Wow he wasnt Nervous at all! If I was him I would have been CRAZY NERVOUS!
Casey looked at Me, then Ryan, and then back to me.
I smiled at her and gave her a Face. The face meant You-Know-you-like-him-so-say-yes!
Casey looked at Ryan and then said "I'm sorry but....YES!!" She jumped out of her Chair and hugged him.
Everyone cheered. Casey and Ryan both had a ear to ear smile.
I smiled at Casey. They looked awesome together. I was so happy for her!
Prudence and I hugged Casey and then she sat back down next to me. She couldnt stop smiling!
Then Kieth went, He singed Across the universe.
