1: Friends Before Fame. (William Singe)

Chapter 48

***WILLIAM'S P.O.V***

We had been skyping for nearly an hour and a half now and I still hadn't found a perfect place to take Shona on Friday night. I asked her what kinds of food she doesn't like very much or can't eat and she said she doesn't particularly like seafood or really greasy or fatty foods, well that kinda helps I guess.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The next few days passed casually I guess. We would do the same thing every day, I'd drive her to school, we'd go to class, hang out at lunch, go back to class, hang out at lunch again, then we'd go back to last class. I'd take her to the ice-creamery, then to the park then drop her off at home. I guess that was just how every school day went for the both of us now.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Friday had came around faster than I had realised. I had made a promise to Shona that when we both performed today, that neither of us would sing to each other yet, and we'd try to get the audience involved in our songs more. We agreed to sing to each other next time to make up for it though.

The songs were allowed to be our own choice but we had to get them approved by Mrs James before we could perform. Both of the songs Shona and I had choosen were both approved first shot and I'll admit, I was pretty nervous about today. Firstly noone except for the people who were at the auditions knew I could sing, I never sang infront of anyone at the school before the auditions. And secondly, tonight was my first date with Shona and I was hella nervous not to mention worried incase she didn't like it or if things weren't as perfect as I imagined them to be.

The schools hall was slowly filling up with people and Shona and I were staring at the nearly filled hall.

'Are you nervous beautiful?' I asked.

'Yeah, I am.' She responded.

'Its okay, I am too. We'll get through it together, like we did the other day when I met your mum alright?' I tried to reassure her.

'Thanks William.' She replied and I kissed her cheek.

'No problem beautiful.' I responded and then Mrs James called us over and she told us the order of who was performing when. All the girls were going first and Shona was last out of the girls and I was last out of the boys. We all had to wait backstage while we were waiting to sing, and I was hella nervous, but I was trying not to show it, I had to encourage Shona she'll be fine and that she'll do great.

Shona was next and Mrs James called her name and she looked at me worried.

'You'll be fine beautiful.' I reassured her then kissed her lips softly. She smiled then walked onstage and took the microphone from Mrs James. She took a deep breath and looked at me and I smiled encouragingly. She took another deep breath then signaled for the music to start.

'Okay, everyone, clap you're hands.' She said into the mic and sure enough people were clapping in time with the music.

~~~SHONA SINGING~~~

Seems like everyone's got a price,

I wonder how they sleep at night,

When the sales come first and the truth comes second,

Just stop for a minute and smile.

Why is everybody so serious,

Acting so damn mysterious,

Got shades on your eyes, and your heals so high,

That you can't even have a good time.

Everybody look to their left,
