Too Dumb to Figure Out I'm a Girl, Huh, JB? Part 8

Sophie's POV

"Chaz, stop!" I giggled as he spun me around, arms around my waist. AJ looked at us enviously, then covered it up quickly with a look of happiness. "Poor AJ," I whispered when she turned with a fake smile to Justin. "At this rate, she'll never be loved." Chaz rested his chin on my hair.

"He'll figure it out eventually, whether he does it on his own, or AJ's temper finally gets the best of her," Chaz assured me. I looked up at him.

"Are you sure?" I asked him. This was my best friend's heart on the line. This unnecessary heartbreaking needed to end.

"I'm guessing during play practice, at some point," Chaz told me, nodding seriously. I sighed. AJ deserved much better than this. She did so much for others, even putting herself in the path of danger to protect someone.

*Flashback*

I was a freshman. The seniors were jerks, they loved teasing, but most of the time, they took it too far. I was by my locker at the end of the day, getting the books I would need for homework. The top senior guy, Jayce, and the top senior girl, Barbie, ofcourse had to come tease me.

Jayce shut my locker roughly, and stood there, menacingly. Barbie, true to her colors, slapped me across the face.

"Why are you even LOOKING at my boyfriend? He's too good for you, you worthless freshman!" She hissed at me, getting too close for comfort. I couldn't help it, I started to cry.

"Oh, look, the freshman's scared! She's crying for Daddy! Oh, wait, you don't have a Daddy. He left you and your mom for some lady in the city, isn't that right? Am I right, freshman?" Jayce taunted.

Then AJ came up to Jayce, in a skirt and heels, and tapped him on the shoulder. He turned around, growling, "What, freshman?" She punched him square in the jaw. My mouth was open in suprise, and Barbie turned to AJ.

"You have no right to do that!" She shrieked. AJ stepped closer, up in her face. Barbie tried not to cower.

"Just like you have no right torturing innocent freshman?" She asked sweetly. Barbie opened and closed her mouth, speechless. Jayce was knocked out on the floor.

"You're just a freshman, what makes you better than me?" She challenged. AJ looked her square in the eye.

"Don't ask me, ask Sophie," she replied coldly. "Ask the freshmen you torture. Ask your best friend, who, by the way, is presently bolemic and throwing up he lunch in the bathroom because YOU told her she looked fat." Barbie gasped, and with one more look at AJ and the fallen Jayce, scurried away.

"Thank you," I whispered. She grinned, holding out a hand to me.

"Come on, let's go introduce you to the guys," she said as I took her hand cautiously. She pulled me to meet her friends, who walked me home. Her friends being: Ryan, Chaz, and Chris, who was in 7th grade.

*End of Flashback*

"Sophie, are you still with me?" Chaz asked as I shook my head clear of the memory.

"Yeah, I was just remembering my first encounter with AJ," I replied.

"All right, everyone, main cast is: Alexandra Tyler as Sam," the teacher, Ms. Kavartey, paused so everyone could applaud. AJ had already escaped and changed into her girl's clothes, and, as usual, she looked amazing. "Justin Bieber as Damian Shay," more applause, then she read off the rest of the characters, the ones created for the Crew had been given to the allotted crew. "Alexis Tyler as Sarah," Lexi huffed indignantly, and stomped a foot as her two bimbo friend were named her character's bimbo friends. Huh. Small world.

Alright, Alexandra, Justin, I need to talk with you. Everybody else, stage. Now," Ms. Kavarty ordered. Uh oh. I wonder what Ms. Kavarty was going to tell them....?

Justin's POV

Wow.

That's all I got. Wow. Alexandra is beautiful. And she's really nice. While we were talking to Ms. Kavarty, something about her seemed really familiar, though...

Ms. Kavarty wanted us to work together away from the rest of the cast to get the duet, Impossible, down. She told us it was going to be hard to stage, because we would both be singing the same song, but without coming in contact with the other. Apparently, that's how AJ wrote it. So that was how we were going to do it. This was apparently the scenery people's favorite scene, don't ask me why.

So that would be why we were in my basement, at my piano. Apparently, since AJ and Alexandra were so "close", he had taught her everything: songs, music, choreography, lines... She knew it all by heart. So here she was, teaching me my part of the duet.

I caught on after a bit, and we put it together. She played the piano, seeming to lose herself in the music. Then I began to sing.

"This can't be true.

All this time you,

were trying to get close to me.

By pretending you were something you couldn't be."

She continued, in her angel voice,

"So hard to believe,

Now that you finally see me,

It'll be so hard to forget,

That look of regret."

I joined her in perfect harmony, "It's impossible, so incredible." I stopped to let her continue.

"That you and I,

Are done because of lies."

I joined her again, "It's unspeakable, unimaginable," she faded out and let me finish, "that my childhood friend, loved me 'til the end."

We joined together again, singing, "It's impossible that I, will never look into your eyes."

Alexandra started the second verse, pouring her soul into it. "I wish I was back in preschool, and could erase any memory of you. But then again, I don't. Because from you, I learned the most." Then my turn.

"How could I never see,

The amazing girl in front of me," I grinned at Alexandra and kept singing,

"I don't want to lose you now,

I'll hold your hand 'til our final bows."

We did the chorus again, then ended on the word, "Impossible."

"That was amazing, Alexandra, where'd you learn to sing like that?" I asked her, completely awed. I mean, yeah, I was talented. This girl was awesome!

"I learned from my best friend," she looked at me with a sad smile, so I didn't press it. "Well, I have to go home now, good job, I'll see you at rehearsal." She got up to leave, but I held her back.

"Hey, do you want me to drive you home?" I asked her carefully. She seriously did not want to be alone with me, that much was obvious. "I won't hurt you."

She smiled that sad smile again. "Don't lie." She left me sitting on the piano bench in my basement, wondering where the heck I'd gone wrong.
