Lyrics phone was blowing up with about a thousands calls and messages from carrie.

Where are you?

— carrie

Seriously hurry up you need to learn these lyrics tonight.

It got quite annoying actually, but she made it just in time. Carrie being reviled with the sight of her friend Lyric, gaving her hope about the performance.

"Okay, I'm not gonna ask why you weren't here but you need to know these lyrics asap. We still have like a couple of hours so sit over there and when you think you've got it come over."

Lyric took the sheet off of carrie and sat down in the corner. Every time the music played lyric would sing when carrie would sing.

————

"Lyric that was so good! Okay now that you know what your doing let me grab the outfits!" She pulled out outfits lyric was not in too. She'd rather wear grungy/skater stuff but there we go.

Sighing at the sight she grabbed hers off carrie and changed. And not putting her wig on.

"Fabulous! Everyone looks ready. Let's get going!"

————

Lyric always got was to follow her heart, and she was starting to understand why. She honestly didn't know what she was going to do after she finished school. And she definitely didn't want a musical career like Carrie wanted her to have.

Getting on stage she noticed a group of familiars. The boys, julie and Flynn. But she couldn't help but notice a very tall shadow lingering around the group. He had an outline of a top hat on his head. And it was making her wonder.  Why is there an Abe Lincoln hanging around my friends?

She quickly brushed it off and started the first verse of the song.

"Whenever I walk in the room
All the focus on me
The way I talk, the way I move
They all want on my team"

Lyric and the girls walked up on stage starting whatever shimmy Cqarrie wanted them to do.

"Not tryin' to brag, brag
But I'm flawless
I'm taking over your playlist
Ain't perfect but I can't miss, yeah
The party don't start 'til I walk in"

All of the sudden Alex poofs on to the stage.

"I'm stealing all the attention
Don't get me started on mentions, yeah

Some might say I sound conceited
They don't get the shine that I get
Some get jealous
They can't help it
They wish they were me, oh"

After Alex joins in with their dance, which Lyric could see he'd been practicing. He poofs back off the stage leaving her in giggles.

"I keep the party going all night, all night
I set the trends that you all like, all like
I make an entrance when I don't try, don't try
'Cause all I see is all eyes on me
I only lead, I never follow, follow
I never open 'cause it's my show, my show
Don't know if people think I'm shallow, shallow
But all I see is all eyes on me"

Yet again, he poofs back on stage. "What are you doing" she hisses through her teeth.

"I don't—it's my feet"

She starts giggling again and Carrie gives her a look and quickly stops.

"They know my face
They know my name
Reputation on lock
It's not my fault I got the fame
Ain't my fault it won't stop, yeah"

"Not tryin' to brag, brag
But I'm flawless
I'm taking over your playlist
Ain't perfect but I can't miss, yeah
The party don't start 'til I walk in
I'm stealing all the attention
Don't get me started on mentions, yeah

"Some might say I sound conceited
They don't get the shine that I get"
"Some get jealous"
"They can't help it
They wish they were me," "oh"

"I keep the party going all night, all night
I set the trends that you all like, all like
I make an entrance when I don't try, don't try
'Cause all I see is all eyes on me"
"I only lead, I never follow, follow
I never open 'cause it's my show, my show
Don't know if people think I'm shallow, shallow
But all I see is all eyes on me"

"When I grow up, I wanna be me, be me
I'm my own goals, just talking honestly
Must have won the lottery
Ain't no one as hot as me
Stealing looks, it's robbery
Everywhere I go, all eyes on me"

————

The song comes to an end and Alex posses for his "hard work" and they walked off stage. Carrie instantly going to julie.

"Hi girls! Isn't it past your bed time?" carrie says, which made Lyric snicker. Earning looks from the boys, but not from the girls since they know this act Lyric has to put on.

Suddenly everything starts getting warm, she starts seeing double and need to get outside. Her vision going fuzzy she tugs on Carries arm. "Hey—I um gotta go" she said sloppy. Trying to keep standing. Everyone asks her if shes ok, all together and she just nods, leaving the group inside.

Stepping out she instantly felt better. She put her head up to her brow and noticed how she wasn't sweating or even hot.

"Well hello there!—how are you?"
