Scarlett's POV

"What bus are we getting?" I question as I wait with my friends and teammates for the open top busses to arrive for our parade.

We're doing an open top bus parade in the area surrounding Arsène Wenger Arena to celebrate us winning the treble then we're doing a sort of celebration party thing outside Arsène Wenger Arena after the parade.

"No clue Scar." Leah says. "I guess which ever one they tell us to get on."

"That's smart." I say.

"Oh Shit." I hear Madeline say. "Hey Scar?"

"Yeah?" I say as I see Madeline and the rest of my teammates huddling around my girlfriends and I.

"Look what I just found on my phone." Madeline says then she shows me something on her phone.

"I forgot you were there for that." I say as I look at the video that Madeline is showing me.

"What are you doing in the video?" Emily asks.

"Uh I was pissed off with the state of the world in 2020 and so I wrote my feelings down then my friends and I had a jam session over Zoom since I was in America getting ready to go to space and I sang the song I wrote." I say.

"State of the world?" Stina asks.

"I was pissed that so many black people kept getting killed." I say.

"Ah." Stina says. "Too much was going on that year so I had no clue what you were talking about."

"Fuck 2020." Jasmine says.

"Mhmm." Everyone agrees.

"What'd the song sound like?" Leah asks the Madeline plays the video.

How do you sit there and act like everything's alright?
How do you sit there? can't you see it with your own eyes?
Oh, you're covered by the blood are ya?
That privilege looks good on ya
Stop thinking you're invincible
You're gonna get your self in deep trouble

I'm not gonna lose you, no
Even if you say you're ready to go
Best believe, mama, I ain't leaving tonight

Sorry that I'm coming at you this strong
Never had a feeling that was this strong
Should have never taken us this long
To right this wrong
Sorry that I'm coming at you this strong

"That's really good." Emma Harris says.

"Why didn't you put that out?" Sophia asks.

"Oh I wasn't comfortable with releasing music at the time so I just left it." I say.

"It's sad that the song is still so relevant 6 years later." Madeline says.

"Very sad." I say.

"You got anymore videos of Scarlet singing?" Leah asks.

"Oh do I." Madeline says with a smirk.

"You meanie." I say then Madeline plays another video of me singing.

Wish I would have known
It was there from the start
Red flags on your walls
You said they were art
I believed it
You made it easy

Head in the clouds
I couldn't see
I was weathering storms
The rain underneath was a warning
Were you ever all in

I've been looking in all the wrong places
Said I love you to all the wrong faces
Gave you my heart in your hands and I didn't know
It was only for the thrill of it

You were staying for all the wrong reasons
I should have known you were hooked on a feeling
Gave you my heart in your hands and I didn't know
It was only for the trill of it all

Is this how it ends
You won't answer my calls
You're losing a friend
But I'm losing it all
Wish you could see me
Fool me once again and say u need me

Oh and if there's a world
Where it could work out for us
Where your friends know my name
And you're someone I trust
Oh I would go there
I swear to God I'd go there
Because I know that, I know that

I've been looking in all the wrong places
Said I love you to all the wrong faces
Gave you my heart in your hands and I didn't know
It was only for the thrill of it

You were staying for all the wrong reasons
I should have known you were hooked on a feeling
Gave you my heart in your hands and I didn't know
It was only for the thrill of it all

It was only for the thrill of it all

It was only for the thrill of it all

It was only for the thrill of it all

It was only for the thrill of it all

I've been looking in all the wrong places
Said I love you to all the wrong faces
Gave you my heart in your hands and I didn't know
It was only for the thrill of it

You were staying for all the wrong reasons
I should have known you were hooked on a feeling
Gave you my heart in your hands and I didn't know

It was only for the thrill of it all

"You know if you ever want a birthday gift idea for me, a full album of your music would be a great gift." Madeline says as everyone looks at me.

"We'll see Madeline." I say. "We'll see."
