Dangerous love triangle

Chapter 7

First day back at school rumors cluster the halls but suddenly vanish when everyone sees me not giving a care in the world in my skinny jeans and throw on sweat shirt and Derek in his typical leather jacket acting as friendly as can be.

Some gasped for air. Some even started more rumors. But those who were mine and Derek’s friends came to greet us.

     "So are you guys back together" Jose asked.

"Well... You know." Joey said jokingly.

“Shut up" I said playfully as I smacked Derek.

      "We're just friends" I answers Jose questions.

“That’s not what you said last night." Derek replied.

    I smacked him even harder this time and gave him the stop-playing-around look "Damn! That hurt" every one stop laughing as they watch Derek in pain.

I could feel the rumors big bad Angel beats up poor little Joey. “Derek you okay”

“Yeah, I am just worried about you." Derek could barely speak.

“What do you mean?" I said feeling badly about causing him pain.

"It's j-just I think" Derek managed to get out.

“You’re getting soft on me, kid" Derek chuckled as he picked me up and hugged me super hard. Everyone one laughed.

      I guess that's what I get for going to a school with a bunch of actors. Except for the fact that Derek wasn’t into acting, he could do it but he wasn’t into it. Derek was a film major every second droning the school year he has a camera his always clicking away. But this year because the film majors always tend to get their cameras after a week of classes and I would already be on tour by then.

RING!

“I gotta go” I said as Derek held his lips out for a kiss.

I laughed and just walked away. It’s not that I think I grew out of him over the summer but more like I could live without. My mind was just so consumed with the music to care about relationships or rumors or anything else for that matter.

     All notes and beats and rhymes and lyrics and instrumental clouded up in my head and I just felt like…like all I wanted to do was sing. Sing and dance…all most like I desperately wanted my life to be a high school musical adventure.

Location- Talent show

   It was 1 weeks of pure concentration for everyone at Shakespeare high everyone was on their game The halls were not filled with student talking but just pure singing, acting, dancing and memorization of lines and/or songs. Everyone wanted it just as bad as everyone else so there was definitely a lot of competition. And I mean why wouldn’t there be it’s a chance for you to change your life forever.

Before I knew it I was back stage at the big showcase waiting for Principle Adam to announce the celeb judge.

                 “The celebrity judge is..." a drum rolled. “Teen pop sensation Jason Knight."

 Some girls screamed so loud they made themselves and others around them faint the guys clapped. I fell in to complete shock Jason Knight was one the youngest and greatest musician known to mankind. The thing I loved about him was he would always try to break out of the category they put him in.

Last year they called him a rock star this year its pop star. I also love the fact he doesn't let the industry boss him around I remember reading in a magazine saying that he was recording in the recording studio and his agent was trying to get him to sing this song that he did not want to sing because of the stupidity level of the lyrics. So he made a poster that said "Hell no. I won't sing" and protested outside of the building.

He got 50 million people to protest with him, and to me I found that legendary amazing.

"The first performer of the night is Tyler Elis" the Principle announced.

"Hey" Derek said from behind.

"Aren't you suppose to be in the guys dres-" I said before I was interrupted by a group of girls passing by us.

“Hey Derek.” she said all flirty then walked away.

“You look beautiful” Derek whispered trying to pretend that he didn’t notice the girls drooling over him.

I looked down at my little black dress and heels that I never wear and flipped back my wavy curls. “I guess.” I said not caring “My mom made me wear it. What are you doing back here anyways? Aren’t you next?”.

“I have to ask you something before I go. I want you to promise that if you win and go on some European tour that you don’t go off with some other guy.” Derek said as he held both of my hands.

       “Fire and Ice!” (Derek’s band) Principle Adam announced.

“Dare I…I can’t.” I stammered.

  “I’m not going till you say yes.” Derek protested.

“Fire and Ice?” Principle Adam announced once again.

“Promise!” Derek pushed.

“Derek Cedric your band is waiting” Principle Adam said nervously.

    “Okay. Okay. I promise”

Derek grabbed his guitar and jumped up on stage executing a solo that was not planed. Then jumped back into what they were planning. I smiled and watched Derek and his band rock out. After a couple of other performers it was my turn. I walked out on to the stage with my summer inspired song and my heart. It start off with a self written ballet on the piano.

Yeah he's a looker,

but I really think it's guts that matter most.

I displayed them for you,

strewn out about from coast to coast.

I am easily make believe,

just dress me up in what you want me to be.

I'll take back what I've been saying for quite some time now.

In my daydreams, in my sleep,

infatuation turning into disease.

You could cure me, see all you have to do now

is please try.

Give it your best shot and try.

All I'm asking for is love,

but you never seem to have enough.

I gotta feel you in my bones again…

The crowd was cheering like crazy even Jason Knight smiled who hadn't moved all night. Then it was time to announce the winner

"It seems we have a tie which mean two of you will be go on the tour and we also have another prize that we have not told you about a 1 million dollar contract with Rock Recordsinc. but of course now the contract will be split between the two of you." said Principle Adam said.

All I could think of was me and Derek on tour together with the amazing Jason Knight. “And the winners are... Angel" I tried hard to act surprised I got up to get the trophy from Jason Knight.

“I love your music." I complimented him, which I rarely do.

"I hope you love it when were in bed together" Jason said through his teeth as he smiled to the audience. Did he just say what i thought he said?

“And Melissa" Principle Adam announced. I didn't know what to be appalled at most the fact that I would be stuck on tour with a slut that kissed Derek or the fact people think I have the same amount of talent as Melissa.
