Effy's POV
It had happened on Saturday night...6:33pm to be exact. They say she passed away in her sleep...no pain...just slipped away. Sunday was spent with Demi and Dani trying to calm Demi down. Sunday night was spent with Marls and Kitty just talking. And now Monday morning. I was wearing a vest, my blue leather jacket and leggings. I wasn't really feeling Cheerios this week. What was making it worse was Jake following me around asking me every five minutes if I was okay, Ryder doing pretty much the same thing except every twenty seconds, Marley and Kitty giving me sad mournful looks every time I passed them. And when I entered the choir room the whole room fell silent.
"Ef are you sure you're okay to be in this week?" Finn enquired putting his hands on my shoulders. I shook him off.
"It's better than sat around doing nothing" I replied. I took the seat in the very back corner so no one could look at me without being completely obvious. The whole club slowly piled into the choir room.
"Alright Sectionals are on Friday guys, which means that this week we really need to pull together as a team...so this week is going to be duets week...and we've already paired some of you up. Effy you're with Bradley..." Finn began. I shot up out of my seat.
"Oh hells no" I snapped.
"...Bree with Marley" Mr Shue continued.
"I'm not going to sing with that skank" Marley snapped. I was a little taken back that she knew language like that let alone how to use it.
"Guys we're only as strong as our weakest links...at the moment that's our disputes" Mr Shue announced.
"Plus we have a prize for first and second place. Tickets to the opening night of the new Hunger Games" Finn announced. Marley squealed loudly. I glared over at Bradley. The bell rang, thank God. Everyone emptied out, except for me and Bradley.
"So what song do you want to sing for our duets assignment?" Bradley enquired. I had the perfect song to mask my hatred for her.

Ryder's POV
It was going to be a disaster...Effy and Bradley singing a duet...they were a torturous twosome. The were set up at the front of the room. Effy on piano, Bradley in the middle of the room on a stool.
"Alright guys presenting our first duets performance of the week. Effy and Bradley" Mr Shue announced while applauding. The new kid and Finn were the only other two who applauded. They weren't exactly clued into the awkwardness between them.
"Well this is a song that has been a favourite for a while...so enjoy" Effy explained while playing a few notes.
"Bradley:
If I could turn the page
In time then I'd rearrange just a day or two
Close my, close my, close my eyes
Effy:
But I couldn't find a way
So I'll settle for one day to belive in you
Tell me, tell me, tell me lies
Both(Bradley):
Tell me lies
Tell me sweet little lies
(Tell me lies, tell me, tell me lies)
Both(Effy):
