"I'm sorry for using your instruments." Tarreb sounding anxious. "No it's fine, it was wonderful." Mx. Achilles said. " Ok thank you bye" Tarreb ran off. Later at the bus stop, he saw Zoor. He walked up to her and said," Hey Zoor, I wanted to thank you for yesterday. You really helped me out. Zoor smiled and said, "Of course Tarreb. That's what friends are for." "Anyways can you sing?" Tarreb said "Yes I think," Zoor said confused "Ok so I've had this idea and I can't get it out of my head. Do you wanna do a band?" Tarreb Asked. "Yeah, sure," Zoor responded.
Tarreb decided to walk home as he was not in the mood for the bus. When Tarreb was going into his he heard a voice "Got money for me today freak." Tarreb looked up and saw Anderson Kristopher. " No I'm sorry I haven't picked up a shift yet at my job," Tarreb said frantically. "Then I guess you're choosing the hard way." Anderson proceeded to beat up Tarreb. When Anderson was done with Tarreb he could barely move but he managed to crawl inside his apartment and bandage himself up. Today Anderson had a shank with him so the beating was extra bad.
The next day Zoor noticed that Tarreb was not at school that day. So after school, Zoor went to the apartment she saw Tarreb crawled into the first time she saw him. At first, she knocked but after she waited a few minutes she tried the door and it was unlocked much to her surprise. She Went and saw Tarreb laying on his floor matted in bandages and blood strumming some notes on his acoustic guitar and finally started singing and playing.
There once was a bittersweet man and they called him Lemon Boy
He was growing in my garden and I pulled him out by his hair like a weed
And like weeds do he only came and grew back again
So, I figured this time I might as well let him be
Lemon Boy and me started to get along together
I helped him plant his seeds and we'd mow the lawn in bad weather
It's actually pretty easy being nice to a bitter boy like him
So I got myself a citrus friend
But soon his bittersweet started to rub off on me
You'd think smelling like lemon zest would be pretty neat
I found out that my friends are more of the savory type
And they weren't too keen on compromising with a nice lemon pie
So Lemon Boy and me, we just gotta get along together
I'll help him plant his seeds and we'll mow the lawn in bad weather
It's actually pretty easy being nice to a bitter boy like him
So I got myself a citrus friend
But what if I run out of fertilizer?
What if the clouds run out of rain?
What if Lemon Boy won't grow no longer?
What if beaches dry of sugar cane?
Oh well
The whales start to beach themselves
Tortoise shells tear away from their spines
It happens all the time, it happens all the time
Lemon Boy and I, we're gonna live forever
Like Snufkin and Little My, we'll get around wherever
Lemon Boy and I, we're gonna live forever
Like Snufkin and Little My, we'll get around wherever
It's actually pretty easy being nice to a bitter boy like him
'Cause we're the bitterest boys in town
Yeah, we're the bitterest guys around
And I got myself a citrus friend
