Sweet Dreams, Hairspray!

I snuck into school later that night.

When I opened my locker roses on roses on roses fell out. I gasp, then delicately pull the note out.

Dear Clara,

For the one who took a chance on me.

Love,

Your Corny

I laughed, picking up the roses.

" You like them?" I gasped, dropping the roses.

" Corny!" I smiled, and he hugged me.

" Hey, Doll." He mumbled into the crown of my hair.

" We really shouldn't be doin' this, Corny." I mumble into his chest.

" Why not?" 

" You know why, Corny. Just the rumors of us could destroy both of us! And not to mention what it'll do it The Corny Collins show, and your job, and the list goes on." I sigh, pulling away.

" You're sweet, but... I can't accept these." My eyes brimmed with tears. 

I turn around, taking a deep breath to calm myself.

" You know I want you.." 

I turned around to face Corny.

" It's not a secret I try to hide. I know you want me, So don't keep saying our hands are tied.You claim it's not in the cards, And fate is pulling you miles away, And out of reach from me."

But you're here in my heart, So who can stop me if I decide that you're my destiny?What if we rewrite the stars? Say you were made to be mine, Nothing could keep us apart
You'd be the one I was meant to find!"

It's up to you, and it's up to me, No one can say what we get to be! So why don't we rewrite the stars? Maybe the world could be ours, tonight." He finishes, and I sigh.

" You think it's easy... You think I don't want to run to you?
But there are mountains, And there are doors that we can't walk through.
I know you're wondering why, Because we're able to be just you and me, within these walls
But when we go outside, You're gonna wake up and see that it was hopeless after all!"

" No one can rewrite the stars, How can you say you'll be mine?
Everything keeps us apart, And I'm not the one you were meant to find..
It's not up to you, it's not up to me, When everyone tells us what we can be
How can we rewrite the stars?"

We both sing, together.

" Say that the world can be ours, tonight, All I want is to fly with you, All I want is to fall with you,So just give me all of you!"

" It feels impossible!"
" It's not impossible!"" Is it impossible?"

" Say that it's possible!"

" How do we rewrite the stars? Say you were made to be mine! Nothing can keep us apart,
'Cause you are the one I was meant to find! It's up to you, and it's up to me, No one can say what we get to be! Why don't we rewrite the stars, Changing the world to be ours.." Corny finishes, looking at me hopefully.
" You know I want you.. It's not a secret I try to hide. But I can't have you, We're bound to break and my hands are tied.." I cry softly, placing a gentle kiss on his lips before turning and leaving.

Tracy called me late into the night, explaining what happened with her parents and the details about the march. I told her I'd be there, then promptly went to bed.
