The song ended and we all clapped. I looked at Sam, who was looking at me, and laughed a bit, the shook my head playfully. He chuckled and then came over with the others to the table Avi, Eliza and I were sitting by out.

Emily- well that was interesting
Charlie- god, I'm never doing that again
Sam- you already agreed to do it again
Charlie- damn it, I forgot about that
Avi- you did good
Elizabeth- I can't tell if that was really cute, or really funny
Watson- let's just say it was both

We all laugh and the boys sit down with us. Sam sat down next to me, and I smiled at him. He smiled back and gave me a kiss on the cheek.

Sam- it's your turn soon, darling
Emily- *groan* I know
Watson- you'll do great!
Emily- thanks
Sam- don't worry, it's easier than it looks. And plus, I'll be up there with you, you'll be okay
Emily- mhm
Elizabeth- what are you singing anyway?
Emily- it's a surprise! I'm not doing them all on my own, so it makes it a bit better
Charlie- you're still doing the first three by yourself
Emily- I know, jeez Charlie
Mc- can we have Emily Walter up to the stage?
Emily- oh god...
Charlie- just breathe... you'll be fine
Emily- thanks Charlie

I hugged Charlie and Avi, then held Sam's hand and walked up to the stage.

Sam- what are we doing first?
Emily- Love Story
Sam- ok!

He grabbed his guitar and sat down next to me, who was standing up by the way. I took a deep breath and nodded at Sam who was looking at me. He lightly started to play the guitar, and I looked out into the crowd. Everyone was staring at me. I saw the BSC girls giving me a thumbs up. I smiled at them and then looked at Sam, he looked at me and gave me a sweet smile, and winked. I giggle and look back at the crowd with a bit more confidence.

Emily:
We were both young when I first saw you
I close my eyes and the flashback starts
I'm standin' there
On a balcony in summer air
See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns
See you make your way through the crowd
And say, "Hello"
Little did I know
That you were Romeo, you were throwin' pebbles
And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet"
And I was cryin' on the staircase
Beggin' you, "Please don't go, " and I said
Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes"
So I sneak out to the garden to see you
We keep quiet, 'cause we're dead if they knew
So close your eyes
Escape this town for a little while, oh oh
'Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter
And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet"
But you were everything to me
I was beggin' you, "Please don't go, " and I said
Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes"
Romeo, save me, they're tryna tell me how to feel
This love is difficult, but it's real
Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess
It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes"
Oh, oh
I got tired of waiting
Wonderin' if you were ever comin' around
My faith in you was fading
When I met you on the outskirts of town, and I said
Romeo, save me, I've been feeling so alone
I keep waiting for you, but you never come
Is this in my head? I don't know what to think
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring
And said, "Marry me, Juliet
You'll never have to be alone
I love you and that's all I really know
I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress
It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes"
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
'Cause we were both young when I first saw you
