Love Song

Jam Fest!

Nana- Matthew singing in English or talking in French
(Nana)- the rest singing backup
(Nana)- all of them singing

Matthew was pacing back and forth backstage. He was wearing a tight white T-shirt under a black leather jacket and dark blue skinny jeans. He was wearing converse on his feet and his glasses were discreetly taped to his head so they wouldn't fall off when he danced around. "Dude! Matthew! Chill!" Gilbert said, laughing slightly. "DO YOU SEE ALL THOSE PEOPLE?! WHY DID I AGREE TO THIIIIS?!"

"Because this Madeline is coming?"

"Because Alfred said you wouldn't?"

"Because you love it?"

"Shut it."

"Hey, five minutes guys," A boy named Lukas said. The MC was extremely hyper and funny. His name was Matthias. "And now, a band that everyone who lives here knows, with a new member! Pretty thing, if ya ask me." The crowd laughed. "Bad Touch!" He stepped offstage as Gilbert grabbed Matthew's wrist and dragged him upstairs. "Don't worry. It's just like practice. Close your eyes and think you're there." Matthew nodded and smiled.

"Hola!" Antonio had stolen the microphone. The reason they were called Bad Touch was because they always messed with someone or something onstage. They had the bad touch.

"Introducing our new singer, Matthew!"

"Mon lapin!"

"Augh!" Matthew groaned and snatched the mic back. "Fuck you." He sighed and smiled. "H-hiya..." everyone cooed at the adorable blonde. Gilbert mugged him of the mic and laughed. "The first one is called Detention Teacher! It was written by Count Small One over here!"

"Gilbeeerttt!" Matthew whined.

"Ahaha, enjoy!"

Matthew took a deep breath and the music started. Suddenly, he forgot his fear and loved the looks on everyones faces.

"Now class, do you like your teacher or not?
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Anybody holding back or didn't nod,
I'll see you when class is done!"

The others began to play louder until Matthew started to sing again.

"You think that I really care
Are you blind?
Go on, keep glaring like I'm just a brat, fine!
You vs me we don't match up at all!
Cuz I'm a grown man,
At least some might call...
All of this petty talk,
Don't mess around with me,
I'm not a kid, so just cut it out, its not like I'm three!
'You couldn't handle this.'
You said time and again
Well your loss cuz I win!
Ha!

Matthew smiled as the crowd began to scream and reach out to him.

"Now class do you like your teacher or not?
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!)
Anybody holding back or didn't nod,
I'll see you around soon!
(Hey sir!)
I hate you, you know!
Friends wouldn't do this or make me feel so alone!
(Alright!)
Unanimous then!
They all agree, so take a win!"

Matthew kneeled in front of a girl and took her hand in his for a moment before letting go. She fainted.

(Hey sir!)
You think this is right?
Look at this homework I let all just slip by.
Is it bad if I wanted your hand
Just like we always did back then!"

Alfred screamed, "THATS MY LITTLE BRO! WOOOOOOOOO!" Matthew snickered.

"Call me a kid all you want, but you know.
You vs me, we got some things the same though!
Falling in love, even I've felt it grow!
Cause I'm mature now, at least,
I think so
Give up the tough guy act!
I know you're not like that!
I see right through all your poker faces.
So now I'm all grown and
Don't have to hold my hand
Step away, got it yet?
Ugh...

Gilbert snickered slightly at the lyrics.

"Now class, do you like your teacher or not?
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!)
I could never just agree or go along.
If its just an act to show them!

(Hey sir!)
I hate you, you know!
Friends wouldn't do this or make me feel so alone!
(Alright!)
Unanimous then!
They all agree, so take a win!

(Hey sir!)
You think this is right?
Look at this homework I let all just slip by.
Is it bad if I wanted your hand
Just like we always did back then!"

The crowd began clapping to the beat as the girl who fainted woke up. The music quieted down, with only Francis playing his bass.

"Everybody always hanging round all the time.
Everybody smiling as we joke from behind.
Finally, and ultimately they're all gone
The things that once were mine.

Everybody always hanging round all the time
Everthing I love is piling up in my mind
Though you can never know how special they are
Until you feel them slipping by!

Gilbert began an amazing guitar solo. Girls screamed louder.

"Now class, do you like your teacher or not?
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!)
Always I before E except after C.
(Always I before E except after C)
Now then do you all like my classes or not?
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!)
Anybody holding back or didn't nod
That would leave just me, am I wrong?

The music quieted down again.

"On and on a thousand years gone
Leading and meeting me at every days dawn."

Antonio began drumming once more.

Give it up and get back in line
You could try one more
ti-i-i-i-ime!"

The music grew louder once more.

(Hey, sir!)
You hate me or what?
Acting like we're just strangers at school, enough!
(Alright!)
I do matter then!
And I'm the vote you need to win!
(Hey sir!)
Remember the days?
All that's inside you's still breaking but you can change!
Solving now, you've got me on your side
You're home again this time!
And we can laugh and grin!
Just like we always did back then!

Matthew smiled happily as the music ended and the crowd erupted into applause. The four played three other songs and left the stage. Alfred ran up to Matthew. "OH MY GAHD!" "I DID THAT!" "AAAAAAHHHH!" The two screamed at eachother.

"Impressive Matthew."

Matthew looked over as he heard fluent french and saw a beautiful blonde girl with peircing blue eyes. "Ah, Madeline!" "Matthew!" The girl giggled and ran up to him. Matthew caught her and spun her once before letting her go. Gilbert and the others gaped as she pecked his cheek.

"Matthew, I missed you!"

"I did too, Maddie."

"I wish I knew what you said though..." she sighed. "Haha, its alright, Madeline. I'll have it translated for you. Well, lets go to me and Alfred's place. You need somewhere to stay?" "Don't you want to stay with your friends?" She asked shyly. He chuckled and smirked. "Eh, I see them every day. Lets go now." Madeline smiled and pulled Matthew ahead through the crowd.

"What the hell was that?"
