We are down to 22 people in the Selection. I never imagined I would get this far, and with so many boys this was going to happen eventually. A birthday. It was Ty's birthday on Thursday. I guess he must've mentioned it to Alesa, who spared no expense turning the Men's Room into the room for Ty's smashing party. There were fancy wines, and extravagant foods. Before I went to the party I grabbed my violin. Maybe I could play Ty something if he wanted me to. I didn't put on anything fancy, this was supposed to be Ty's moment to shine. When I arrived, the party was already going pretty good. There was a band playing music in the corner. So much for my music idea. I saw Ty going around and chatting with everyone, thanking them for coming. Not like we had a choice anyway. Jason was tagging along like a puppy, obviously annoying Ty. That's Jason for you, trying to steal someone's moment in the spotlight. "Yo Adam! Get over here white boy, I'm talking to you!" I turned and saw Okward and Mitch waving at me. "Hey Okward, Mitch. Great party huh?" "Yeah dude!" Mitch said with a grin. Whatever had been bothering him earlier wasn't showing up today. "Is that your violin?" Okward asked over all the noise. "Yeah, I was thinking of playing for Ty, but he already has a band playing." "But you're great at the violin!" Mitch protested. "I think you should play." "If Ty wants me to play, I'll play." I shouted back. "Hey losers! How's the party?" Ty came up behind us with Jason tagging along. "It's great Ty!" I shouted back. "Happy birthday nerd!" "This party is fabulous!" Jason said with a fake smile. "One time I had a party where we flew in the Eminem in. Have you all heard of him?" Jason asked with a sneer. "Who hasn't?" Mitch answered evenly. "Well anyway, it was very fancy like this. No one below a Three was allowed in. We couldn't let some lowly Fives sucking the life out of the party." Mitch shot me a glance, and Jason pretended to look like he regretted what he said. "Oops, sorry I meant no offense." Jason said innocently. I debated whether or not to punch Jason right on the spot. "Err, it's fine. What exactly do you do as a Two?" I haven't ever heard anything you've done that's famous." I asked him innocently. Jason shot me a glare that was sharp enough to cut diamonds. "I model." He said proudly. "I can see why you've never heard of me, you're too poor to afford magazines." "If I'm ever feeling bad about myself, I can at least tell myself I don't model for a living." Okward whispered in my ear. "Is that your violin?" Ty asked changing the subject. "Yeah, I was going to play for you, but you already have a band so, it's fine." "Come on! I want you to play at least one song!" Ty begged. "Well what do you want me to play?" I asked. Ty gave a smirk. "Do you know any ACDC songs?" "Actually," I laughed "I know the first few words to Thunderstruck." "Everybody shut up! Adam can literally play ACDC on the freaking violin!" While Ty shut everyone up I headed up awkwardly on stage to a microphone. Eventually everyone got quiet, and I did an awkward intro. "Uh, this is for Ty or something. Happy Birthday." I heard a cheer in the crowd, and I put my violin in its place.

I was caught
In the middle of a railroad track (Thunder) [...of a lightning attack]
I looked round
And I knew there was no turning back (Thunder)
My mind raced
And I thought what could I do (Thunder)
And I knew
There was no help, no help from you (Thunder)Sound of the drums
Beatin' in my heart
The thunder of guns
Tore me apart
You've been - thunderstruckThunderstruck,
yeah yeah yeah
Thunderstruck.
Thunderstruck.I finished with a smile on my face. there were so many whoops and cheers and chants of "encore". Alesa had walked in too. She look amused too. I bowed. "And that was me playing death metal on a violin." More cheers erupted from the crowd, including the guards. All of a sudden, those cheers were interrupted with a gasp. I looked over to the source of the sound. Ty was knocked on the ground with glass stuck in his head. There was wine spilled all over him. I saw Jason looking mortified. I realized what had happened. "I tripped! I swear!" Jason defended himself angrily. Everyone looked over and nodded understandingly. Ty looked angry, embarrassed and dejected. Alesa went over and helped him up. It was obvious Jason had done that on purpose. "Tripping" just so he could be the center of attention. "I'm going to the hospital wing." Ty growled, walking off with Alesa angrily.
