Reasons

chapter 10

• Olivia's POV •

09.00 pm

Do I love kids going all crazy with their talents? Yes. Do I have one? No. Everyone has got a talent,but not Olivia Kelsey she doesn't. Yeah,I know that's sad,but I'll deal with it sooner. The stage was crowded,there's guitar,vinegar,shampoo,pogo stick,canvas,and other crazy things.

"Hello,students! Now,who's going to show her talent is Amanda Keynes,she can burp the alphabet real quick. So give it up for Amanda Keynes!" The crowd started to cheer and there's Amanda on the stage,preparing to burp the alphabet.

"A (burp) B (burp) C (burp)..." Wow, that girl is awesome. And the teacher announced more students to come into the stage to do whatever crazy things they did. And Rider's name was being called so I am so happy on the inside. Maybe he's going to sing? Yay! He goes in front of the stage,grabbing the guitar,sit on one of the tools,and said something that really caught me off guard, "Olivia Kelsey,I would like you to get in front of the stage to sing with me please." Holy freaking shit! I didn't bloody signed up! And when I hesitated,the teacher persuade me to sing because I already 'signed up' shit! This was Rider who signed me up so we could sing together,that's why girls have been giving me death glares,well I know now. I'm perfectly fine with Rider singing alone,but not with me! My voice is bloody terrible! But,Rider keeps looking at me with that pleading look of his. So,I go in front of the stage,glaring at Rider every step I took. I sat on one of the tools with Rider saying, "what should we sing?"

"First,I hate you. Second,almost is never enough?" I questioned,he chuckles slightly then nodded.

" Almost, almost is never enough

We were so close to being in love

If I would have known that you
wanted me, the way I wanted you

Then maybe we wouldn't be two worlds apart

But right here in each other's arms

And we almost, we almost knew what love was

But almost is never enough"

I love this song so damn much,I could listen to it all day long without getting bored. I'm so nervous when I sang,my body quivered,radiated,I think I have a fever. But Rider kept up with me so I was grateful for that. We are the last people to show our talents,well I called it screaming but Rider's great. Like,really great. So, after that the students dismissed to their rooms.

"What the hell Rider?" I yelled at him,he looked at me with that innocent look of him that I hate.

"Hey! I can't sing by myself in front of a stage,not my thing,but I know that you did great." He smiles,I couldn't help but smile a little.

"Yeah,whatever." I rolled my eyes.

"You're roommates with Chase and Drake?" I asked. He nods.

"Wow,such stupid teachers we have here." I said, "that's what I thought!" I chuckled then said my goodbye.

"See ya tomorrow Holster!" I waved then walked away.

"Yeah,see ya!" He screams behind me.

"Girl,you sang a-ma-zing!" Mandy chirped.

"Yeah,I don't think so." I mumbled,shooking my head.

"I think Rider likes you." Gia says. I froze for a minute then laugh uncontrollably,causing me to breathe unnaturally. seconds later my laughter died down.
