Taylor Swift- My Best Friend

Chapter Ten- Uh, Talent Show?

Jess' P.O.V

The walk to fourth hour was a lot less painful.. I guess. Taylor got confused on where we were going and lost me. I had to literally grab her and pull her in my direction. That's what she gets for trying to record a video and walk. If I'm late to class again, I'll blame her.

"So Jess, what do you think of 'Flubber'?"

"It's just.. terrbile."

"Yeah.. I know." We both laughed

When we were at my locker, Taylor was leaning against someone else's locker and was recording a video.

Then, some jerk group of girls who think they're SO cool walked past us and sang,

"You Belong With MEEE." in a high pitched, nasally voice and then laughed.

"Knock it off!" I shouted at them. Why is everyone so mean to her? She's seriously like a freaking angel.

"Jess, I'm fine."

"I'm not! It makes me so mad!"

"Just hurry up or we'll be late for class."

"Fineeee."

"Hey what's this?" Taylor said looking at a flier taped to the wall.

"I don't know?"

"It's a talent show!" She got all excited

"Uh huh." I said closing my locker, and tugging on her arm, but she was still reading.

"It's this saturday!"

"Cool, come on, let's gooo!"

"We should totally do this!"

"Haha, you're funny. But I'm seroius, we gotta go. Just bring it with you." I said tugging on her arm again, she finally came this time.

When we finally got to English class, we were late. The awkward stares continued.

"Hello Jess, and may I ask who your guest is?" Mr. Fry said to meas I awkwardly walked in through the door.

"This is my friend Taylor," I heard gasps throughout the classroom, She's visiting from Nashville for a few days and thought it'd be fun if she came to class with me."

"Ok, that's fine. You can take your seat now, and pull an extra desk for uh, Taylor next to yours."

I nodded then pointed to show Taylor where my desk was.

"We'll continue to read 'To Kill a Mockingbird' today." Mr. Fry announced.

'Yay.' I thought

"Let's take a poll, if you'd like to read as a class, raise your hand."

I see Taylor's hand shoot up, of course. I nudged her with my elbow,

"You put that hand down right now."

"No." She smirked

"Ok," Mr. Fry skimmed the room, "one."

"Looks like we'll be reading in groups, you may choose your partner."

Taylor turned her desk so we'd be facing eachother

"Hey partner." I said in a creepy voice.

"Hey." She moved her eyebrows up and down.

We burst out laughing and had to cover our mouth. Mr. Fry gave me the stink eye, but it was still hilarious, and being scolded only made us laugh louder.

"Girls, read." He said to us

"This is my favorite book, actually." Taylor said to me.

I gave her the 'you have problems' look, then flipped to the required page.

Taylor unfolded a piece of paper that was in her hand. She shoved it in front of me. I read it, it was the talent show flier.

"We should do this." She smiled and spoke in a whisper

"and do what?"

"Well, do you play any instruments?"

"Guitar.."

"Oh my God, perfect." Her face lit up.

"I don't like where this is going." She just laughed

Taylor's P.O.V

I was thinking, Jess and I could play guitar and sing together. That's be cute, right? Plus, since its on saturday, I could get the rest of the band to fly in and join us. She'd love that! But it'd be a surprise.

"We could sing!" I smiled at her

"I don't know.."

"Please." I gave her the puppy dog eyes.

"What would we sing? Your songs?"

"If that's what you want!"

"It's up to you, you're the one that wants to do this."

"Come on," I playfully hit her arm, "It'd be a blast!"

"Debatable."

"Make up a list of songs, and I'll tell you if I can play them."

"ugh, fine."

I saw her write down a list of a bunch of songs. She then passed me the piece of paper.

"Girls, no passing notes." Mr. Fry said

Everyone then looked at us, but this time, I didn't look down, I looked back at all of them.

The list of songs read:

1) What Hurts the Most- Rascal Flatts

2) Mean (but it wouldn't be the same without Eunice :p)

3) Drops of Jupiter- Train

4) Apologize- OneRepublic

5) Pumped up Kicks- Foster the People

6) It's Your Life- Francesca Battistelli

7) Runaway- Mat Kearney

"I know most of these!" I whispered to Jess, she smiled

"That's awesome!"

I'd obviously be willing to spend some time and learn these songs for Jess, I want the school to see her talent!

"Alright, we should actually read.." Jess said

"Yeah I guess," and I scooted next to her so I can see the book.

Then, then bell rang. She looked at me,

"Oops." then laughed

"Time for lunch!" She smiled

"Do you want to go out for lunch?"

"Sure!" Her face lit up.

We walked back to her locker again and put her binder in. Then walked to the cafeteria, while awkward stares all looked at us,

"Is this as awkward for me, as it is for you?" She said to me.

"Its fine." i put my arm around her should then hugged her.

I looked out the window to see the limo pull up, all the kids were staring at it and pointing at.

"Looks like our rides here." I smiled at Jess

"Really?"

I nodded

We walked out the front door and then out to the car. I saw the kids still looking at us so I waved.

Then we pulled away, today, Jess will definetley be leaving an impression at this school. I just hope things get better for her.

Next stop: McDonalds!
