Days passed since the dinner with Annma, and I hadn't seen Ashton in days. I was starting to get worried. Not about him, of course, but our presentation in music would be tomorrow. I had been constantly playing trying to find my own voice for the song and to make it my own. The day flew by and soon I was getting ready for school.
I flung on a white loose fitted shirt with a light grey cardigan over that. I squeezed into my black skinny jeans with holes and my black combat boots. Finishing off the look I threw on my maroon beanie on and grabbed a portable cup and filled it with tea. I picked up my guitar and bag and rushed outside when I heard Viviana's car honk. We drove off to school and rushed to music taking our usual seats in class. I glanced around and Eric nor Ashton were here. Great.
"So class today we have our presentations. I was originally going to start off with Scarlett's group, but I'm going to give it a few minutes and see if anyone shows up. So, we will now begin with...Luke, Calum, and Viviana."
I felt Viviana tense beside me and gently patted her back. She relaxed a bit and quickly got up taking a spot behind her keyboard. Her fingers flowed over the keys and I took note of Calum watching her closely as he slowly got lost in the music she began to play.
"You tell all the boys "No"
Makes you feel good, yeah.
I know you're out of my league
But that won't scare me away, oh, no"Luke began to sing. Damn. That boy can sing.
"You've carried on so long," Calum's voice soon came in as he harmonized with Luke.
"You couldn't stop if you tried it.
You've built your wall so high
That no one could climb it,
But I'm gonna try."
Calum took a deep breath and continued on his own, his eyes on Viviana the whole time.
"Would you let me see beneath your beautiful?
Would you let me see beneath your perfect?
Take it off now, girl, take it off now, girl
I wanna see inside
Would you let me see beneath your beautiful tonight?"
Viviana continued to play her eyes opening as she took a breath and started to sing.
"You let all the girls go
Makes you feel good, don't it?
Behind your Broadway show
I heard a boy say, "Please, don't hurt me."
You've carried on so long
You couldn't stop if you tried it.
You've built your wall so high
That no one could climb it.
But I'm gonna try"
Luke's voice would come in once in a while, but on the chorus it was just Viviana and Calum. The chemistry flowed, and it seemed like sparks flew between them.
"Would you let me see beneath your beautiful?
Would you let me see beneath your perfect?
Take it off now, boy, take it off now, boy
I wanna see inside
Would you let me see beneath your beautiful tonight, oh, tonight?"
