Harry's Rose (3 books in one)

Chapter 2

At the end of my first class I get up and walk out. As I'm walking to my next class people are taking pictures of me. It's nothing new but I just don't want them to. I stop in my tracks and turn around to face them.

"Please stop taking pictures of me. I'm just another kid" I say

They put their phones down and looked at me a little shocked. I just turn back around and walk up the stairs to my next class. My next class is music. I really enjoy music like my dad. Mom always said I go his good voice since she can't sing. I walk into the classroom and the teacher is thrilled to see me. I don't know why but she is. She walks over to me and starts talking.

"Hi Matilda. I'm so happy to have you in my class. Would you be willing to sing a song for us today to start off the year" she says

"Oh um I don't know" I say

"Come on it'll be fun" she says

"Okay fine" I say

I walk up to the front of the room while she explains to the class that I'm going to sing a song.

"Okay um I'm going to sing one of my dads songs I guess" I say

I grab the microphone and just start.

"Baby, you were the love of my life, woah
Maybe you don't know what's lost 'til you find itTake a walk on Sunday through the afternoon
We can always find somethin' for us to do
We don't really like what's on the news, but it's on all the timeI take you with me every time I go away
In a hotel, usin' someone else's name
I remember back at Jonny's place, it's not the same anymoreBaby, you were the love of my life, woah
Maybe you don't know what's lost 'til you find it
It's not what I wanted, to leave you behind
Don't know where you'll land when you fly
But, baby, you were the love of my lifeIt's unfortunate, oohJust coordinates, oohI don't know you half as well as all my friends
I won't pretend that I've been doin' everything I can
To get to know your creases and your ends
Are they the same?Baby, you were the love of my life, woah
Maybe you don't know what's lost 'til you find it
It's not what I wanted, to leave you behind
Don't know where you'll land when you fly
But, baby, you were the love of my life"

I finish the song and my fellow students start cheering for me. I stand there looking at them. The teacher comes over and hug me catching me off guard. I take my seat and she starts going over how I was singing the song and how well I hit all the notes. It sorta made me blush. Suddenly this girl next to me taps my arm. I turn to look at her.

"Hey I'm Lilly" she says

"Hey" I say

"So your new here" Lilly says

"Yeah it's my first day" I say

"You were really good up there. I've never heard that song before" Lilly says

"Oh it's my dad's song" I say

"Oh that's cool. I guess I've never heard of your dad" Lilly says

While talking to Lilly I couldn't help but notice her long black hair and the small freckles on her cheeks. She's really pretty. I especially like her hazel eyes.
