Bev and I figured out the whole song on Wednesday and we have been practicing for a while, she was very excited, I'm happy for her. Me on the other hand is terrified, I'm gonna mess this up and Bev is going to hate me.
Bev even made us matching outfits. I don't know how but she even got me to wear a crop top.

(They also wore those pants)
Bev's crop top had actually sleeves though, I look gay. IT ISN'T A BAD THING OR ANYTHING THOUGH! it's just that I am gay, the people in my old school bullied me for being gay and I feel like that's gonna happen here too...
We listened to a couple proformances, they were pretty good then finally we got called up. "Good luck." Eddie said to us and waved to us as we walked into stage.
It turned out that Beverly was actually really good at drums, so she was using drums and I was using my guitar.
The lights turned down and we tooks some deep breaths then Bev started singing and I started playing the guitar.
"You'll never take us alive~" she sings, "we swore that death will do us part. They'll call our crimes a work of art" I sing, Beverly then starts to play her drums "You'll never take us alive." She repeats. "We'll live like spoiled royalty, friends and partners..." I sing, "Partners in crime" we sing in sync. We then don't say anything and just play our instruments for a couple seconds then we both repeat "Partners in crime" now it's my turn again "This, the tale of reckless love Living a life of crime on the run I brush to a gun to paint these states green and red" I sing, having to make my voice deeper at the end. "Everybody freeze, nobody move. Put the money in the bag or we will shoot" Beverly sings "Empty out the vault and me and my doll will be on our way" i cringe a little at having to call her doll, but she had insisted that i call her that. We play our instruments a little louder for the next part. "Our paper faces flood the streets~" Bev sings, she sounds like a professional singer. "And if the heat comes close enough to burn. Then we'll play with fire, 'cause" I sing, then we repeat the chorus. "You'll never take us alive" "We swore that death will do us part. They'll call our crimes a work of art" "You'll never take us alive We'll live like spoiled royalty, friends and partners" "Partners in crime" We play our instruments: "Partners in crime" (They play the rest of the song but I'm too tired to write the rest.") As I play the last note on my guitar the crowd go wild, I'm sweating, I'm out of breath and I could tell Bev is too, she was amazing! We wave as we walk off stage, a bunch of girls started yelling saying I looked hot in my outfit, it was embarrassing. We go back stage and Bev is almost jumping "We were AWESOME!!" Bev yells "AGREED!!" I yell, we walk over to Eddie who is up next "You two did great!" Eddie says. Eddie ended up getting another boy who decided to join singing, his name was Nick. Nick walked up to us and wrapped his arm around Eddie. I stare at Nick with anger in my eyes, I don't even know why I'm angry exactly. "Come on Eds, we have to go." Nick says all cheery "it's Eddie." Eddie says with hate in his voice "Do we have to have another talk Eds?" Nick asks, his voice changed, he seemed mean now "n- no" Eddie answers, he seemed scared, Bev and I both noticed that "What talk?" I ask and step forward a little.
"Don't worry about it Tozier." Nick says "no, tell me." I say "Richie.." Eddie says, his voice seemed like he was warning me about something. "Get out of our way fag." Nick demands "Fuck you. I ain't moving." I say, I probably should have said "I'm not a fag" to try to save myself from being figured out but I didn't. "I said fucking move." Nick demands "And I said no fucktard." I say and stand up straighter than I was. Nick is taller than me, he's probably 6 foot while I'm 5'7 and Eddie is 5'4 like a teenage girl, it's cute. Bev is 5'5 though.
