Camira's POV
The past two days have been excruciatingly painful. Both physically and emotionally. McKenzie has been making Santana and I work our butts off in the routines that we are doing. During the practices I don't get to talk to Santana because Mac always steals her away from me. Then they always talk about their amazing boyfriends.
But anyways, we perform today. And I'm praying that I don't mess up, because if I do, then I'll be the laughing stock of the school.
"Okay, North Side High, I know that most of you have be anticipating this day and it's finally here. It's the 'Battle of the Sexes' competition! The six competing will are Mckenzie Lexinger, Camira Sullivan, and Santana Alvarado, representing the girls. And Ben Cadence, Jack O'Reilly, and Dylan Yarborough representing the boys. We're starting with the boys today. Give them a hand everybody!" Ms. Smith said clapping once she finished the opening.
The boys walked out with white t-shirts and jeans sittongbon stools. Then the music to 'As Long As You Love Me' started.
' Although loneliness has always been a friend of mine
I'm leaving my life in your hands
People say I'm crazy and that I am blind
Risking it all in a glance
And how you got me blind is still a mystery
I can't get you out of my head
Don't care what is written in your history
As long as you're here with me
I don't care who you are
Where you're from
What you did
As long as you love me
Who you are
Where you're from
Don't care what you did
As long as you love me'
**************************
To be honest they did a really good job. I just hope that the next song won't be as good.
Boys came on stage giving them blazers and phadoras. When the music started they started bobbing their heads.
'This hit, that ice cold,
Michelle Pfeiffer, that white gold.
This one for them hood girls,
Them good girls, straight masterpieces!
Stylin', whilin',
Livin' it up in the city.
Got Chucks on with Saint Laurent,
Gotta kiss myself, I'm so pretty.
I'm too hot, (Hot Damn!)
Call the police and a fireman,
I'm too hot (Hot Damn!)
Make a dragon wanna retire man,
I'm too hot (Hot Damn!)
Say my name you know who I am,
I'm too hot (Hot Damn!)
And my band 'bout that money,
Break it down.
Girls hit your hallelujah, (whoo)'
**************************
I was wrong, both performances were good. Especially the last one. The girls gave them a standing ovation. Let's just hope that we're as good as them.

Third POV
As Ms.Smith introduced the girls, they walked on stage with their black trench coats, which covered their colorful miniskirts and crop tops. Then the music started.
'Can you keep up?
Babyboy, make me lose my breath
bring the noise, make me lose my breath
Can you keep up?
Babyboy, make me lose my breath
bring the noise, make me lose my breath
hit me hard, make me lose my breath
Ooh...
I put it right there, made it easy for you to get to
now you wanna act like you don't know what to do
after I done done everything that you asked me
grabbed you, grind you, liked you, tried you
moved so fast, baby now i can't find you'
******************************
The girls took off their trench coats when the music ended. The boys instantly stood up and started clapping. Then the second song started.
'She got a body like an hourglass, but I can give it to you all the time!
She got a booty like a Cadillac, but I can send you into overdrive (oh)
See anybody could be bad to you, you need a good girl to blow your mind!
Bang bang into the room (I know you want it)
Bang bang all over you (I'll let you have it)
Wait a minute let me take you there (ah)
Wait a minute tell you (ah)
Bang bang there goes your heart (I know you want it)
Back, back seat of my car (I'll let you have it)
Wait a minute let me take you there (ah)
Wait a minute tell you (ah)'
*****************************
The girls ended up with a standing ovation, as the left the stage. Then the curtains closed.
"Great job Santana," Ben said walking up to her, giving her a hug. "Thanks Benny," Santana said returning the hug. "You're welcome," he said releasing the hug.
"And you," Ben said walking towards Camira. For a second Camira had hope. But he ended up walking right past her to Mac.
"You were amazing babe," Ben said picking her up twirling her around. "Thanks babe," she said, flashing her killer white smile.
"Was I really that bad?" Camira asked, to no one in particular. "No you were perfect actually," Dylan said walking up to her along with Jack.
"Well, Ben doesn't seem to think so," she said gesturing to him. He was still embracing McKenzie in his arms.
"Don't worry about him Cupcake," Jack said, attempting to comfort her. "I can't it's too hard," she said, beginning to tear up.
"Don't cry over him. Don't let him be the repeat of Jonathan," both Jack and Dylan said in unison.
"You're right. I picked he right song to sing today," she said walking in the stage leaving Dylan and Jack with confused faces.
"Okay, now that the first competition is over now we will start the solo competition. First up is Camira Sullivan. Give her a hand everyone," Ms. Smith said.
"Okay, guys this song is for someone special. You know who you are," Camira said looking in Ben's direction. Sitting on her stool, she started strumming the chords on her guitar, beginning the song.
' And I hate to say I love you
When it's so hard for me
And I hate to say I want you
When you make it so clear
You don't want me
I'd never ask you cause deep down
I'm certain I know what you'd say
You'd say I'm sorry believe me
I love you but not in that way
And I hate to say I need you
I'm so reliant
I'm so dependant
I'm such a fool
When you're not there
I find myself singing the blues
Can't bear
Can't face the truth
You will never know that feeling'
**************************
As she finished the song, she looked at the crowd. She saw girls crying, and boys on the verge of crying. "Thank you," she said hurrying off stage.
