CHAPTER EIGHTEEN

  Today Mr. Moon is having us sing songs that make us happy. It was another in-class assignment, so it was on the spot that we had to pick a song. In a spur of the moment decision, I decided to sing Emily's Army's song, Broadcast This.

I once again borrowed Cole's acoustic, somewhat terrified that the band would hate it- but it was too late to back down. I decided to just go for it and worry about the potential aftermath when I finished.

I don't wanna listen

To what's on the radio

Boring music

Depressing talk shows

But I don't need it

I got my record store

Punk music

and vinyls galore

Well it would be nice to hear something 

That I musically enjoy

So I think you wanna learn to broadcast this

Whatever happened 

To pirate radio

K.C.U.F

and Radio Rock

So bring it back and

I'll stop lamenting

It's just the point that

You're misrepresenting

Well it would be nice to hear something 

That I musically enjoy

So I think you wanna learn to broadcast this

Well it would be nice to hear something

That I musically enjoy

So I think you wanna learn to broadcast this

I don't wannna listen

To what's on the radio

Boring music

Depressing talk shows

It would be nice to hear something 

That I musically enjoy

So I think you wanna learn to broadcast this

As I finished, the reaction was brilliant. It was like my first Green Day concert all over again- that burning desire to be on stage. Everyone loved it, especially Joey.

That night I found myself in front of the mic again, this time with Emily's Army surrounding me. Cole and I were singing it as a duet. And I'm not one to brag, but we sounded wicked. Billie Joe and Adrienne certainly thought so.

It was decided that I would play the next EA show with the guys, and if it goes well, we would see from there. Definitely not what I was expecting from my day- man was I ready for bed.

Like he had every night for the past few days, Joey crawled into bed beside me once everyone else had fallen asleep. He kissed my forehead and whispered in my ear "You're exactly what we've been searching for. Exactly what I've been searching for."
