When I was about to leave Michael's house I heard music blasting a window was open so I can hear it a little bit. To my surprise I heard Michael singing I never thought he could be a good singer before. I was back in my house replaying Michael's voice in my head he just sounded so amazing maybe I should compliment him when we see each other at school. The weekend was over and I was at the bus stop waiting to be picked up. "Good morning Crystal." Michael sounded tired. "Morning Michael." We sat in our seat in on the bus. "Michael you sounded really good last night." Michael looked at me confused. "You heard me singing? How? I thought you were already home." He looked a little embarrassed. "Don't be shy Michael your voice was like magic to my ears, I heard it from the cracked open window when I was about to leave." To be honest. "Oh well I was just singing for fun." He lies. "Well can I hear you sing again?" I begged. "Um sure I guess." We got off of the bus going to class. "Good morning class I hope your weekend was well. I would like to collect your homework please." Everyone passed there homework to the teacher. "Michael dear, where Is your homework?" The teacher ask disappointed. "Oh I left it at home Ms, I'll make sure to have it the next morning." Michael was always the straight A student in class how could Michel miss a day of homework. We did our lessons and it was time for us to go home back on the bus. "We can't hang out today Crystal I'm busy, we can go for our walk tomorrow ok?" We waved goodbye as we walked home. Michael came back in the Jackson family house happy as always. "Michael!" His father Joseph calls. "Yes Joseph?" He walked in his parents bedroom. "I got a phone call from your teacher today she said you didn't hand in your homework this morning." His voice was glum. "I'm sorry father but we were so busy at the studio that I didn't even have time for homework. I told her that homework will be handed in by the morning I was to tired to do homework." Joseph thinks it's a bad excuse for his straight A son to be saying. "Just because your a singer doesn't mean you don't have other important priorities. Next time do your homework after your done practicing and instead of hanging out with that friend of yours." Michael looked down at the floor. "But dad I try my best it was just one homework I missed, I don't want to be in the studio sometimes maybe I want to be out and play Joseph." Joseph sighed in annoyance taking off his belt. "Dad!" The door was slammed shut you can hear the belt whipping coming from outside of the door. "It's Joseph for the last time Michael!" Another whip after the beating Michael had to go back to the studio to practice. When Michael was singing he sounded sad and broken down. "This is supposed to be a happy song act like it, if you mess up your gonna get it again." Michael made a fake smile as he sang I Want You Back along with his other brothers. I was back at home doing my work that my teacher gave me and had dinner. "Honey aren't you supposed to be going for your walk with Michael soon?" Mom knows the routine. "He's kind of busy today so we had to cancel our walk, he said we'll continue tomorrow." I got ready for bed. Michael and I were on the bus. "Morning Michael!" I hugged him tight and he hugged back. "Morning bestie." He groaned. "What's wrong Michael? You don't look so good." He leans his head on glass window. "I worked all night last night." Michael looked really stressed, I saw a bruise on his neck. "Michael did you get into a fight?" Giving him an angry look. "No." As he hides his bruise. "Tell the truth I'm getting worried for you." Michael shook his head no he hates when I worry about him. "I'm ok Crystal just don't worry about me." Fake smiling. We walked into class as he put his head down on the desk. "So Michael do you have today's home work and yesterdays homework?" Tapping him to wake up. "Yes Ms." Lazily handing the homework to her. "That's the Michael I know!" She chimes happily. Michael sits up as lessons is about to start I try not to show any feelings for Michael so he doesn't think I'm worried. After school was over we walked past Michael's house. "Hey don't you have something to do at home?" As I look at his house. "No not really." He smiles it's sweet that he let us walk today. "But I do have a surprise." He laughs. We run to the park so we can play. "What is it?" As we swing on the swings. "When I had you to myself I didn't want you around those pretty faces always made you stand out in a crowd." He started to sing again with his happy self. "Wow Michael you sound amazing! You should become a famous singer one day." Complimenting him. "Thanks Crystal but I'm not ready for that yet." We stopped swinging, I stare at the bruise on his neck as he looks down. "Sorry." I stated. "It's ok." He mumbled I go up to hug Michael. "Do you want to come to my house to talk about it?" Michael nods his head yes. My mom smiles as she sees Michael walk in. "Hi Crystal's mom." My mom gave him a hug. "Hello Michael how are you?" Giving us a glass of milk. "I'm alright and you?" Mom always love how proper he is. "I'm good thank you." She leaves the kitchen. "You know you can tell me anything right?" As I kiss his bruise to make him feel better. "Yes I know, I just don't know where to start." Michael laughed nervously. "Well can I first tell you something I've been hiding since I met you?" He blushes deep red. "Yes?" Drinking my milk. "I'm in a bad called the Jackson 5 my dad is really pushing me to be in it and keep it as a future career. I mean we aren't that famous yet we go to carnivals to perform nothing big. That's why I'm busy sometimes so I can rehearse. I was afraid that you would only like me because I'm in a band. I just wanted you to like me as Michael Jackson." I looked at him more shocked. "Wow that's great but even if you do become famous I'll still like you the way I first met you, I'll never change because of who you are." Michael felt sure of her words. "Thanks and my dad beat me last night because I didn't hand in my homework but it wasn't my fault. He was more worried about my music that's why I never got it done. I'm supposed to be rehearsing today but I didn't want that to stop our friendship so I kind of skipped it. My dad might kill me when I get home but I don't care." Michael shrugged his shoulders. "Oh Michael I'll protect you if you need me just drop by here." We hugged. "Aren't you guys the cutest!" She saw us hugging and we broke apart. We blushed in embarrassment. "Mother..." My mom laughs, the doorbell rang. "I'll be back." She opened the door to see Michael's father standing there. "Hello Mr. Jackson come in." Michael and I looked at each other as we heard them talking. "Michael your father is here!" I looked at Michael sad not wanting him to leave. We walked together staring face to face at Joseph. "Hi Mr. Jackson." Hugging Michael's arm. "Hi sweetheart. And call me Joseph please." He acts a lot different when other people are around him. "Why are you so close to Michael like that? Give the boy some space." My mom demanded, I slowly let go of his arms. "Yeah you'll see Michael tomorrow for another play date." Michael knew his father never lets him out to much. "Bye Michael see you at school." He sadly waves good bye. "Come on do your homework missy." My mom says as she does dishes. "Yes mommy." Michael and I are like brother and sister we will never let each other go.
