3.6

For the rest of the week, I avoided most contact with people. Except for when Jess came up to me not long after I ran off after seeing her and Shawn.

'Really,' she looked me up and down. 'You think you can just walk over here dressed like that and not realise what you have planned?'

'I don't know what you're talking about.'

'Don't bother,' Jess took a step closer to me. 'Your efforts are worthless. Besides, even though you have dolled yourself up for once, you look like trash compared to me.'

After that incident, I did try to recover. It had been a while since I had posted a cover, so I decided to go through my music. Nothing seemed to stick, though. I couldn't relate to any song. I groan, scrolling through all the music on my phone. Song after song, absolutely nothing. All hope was lost until the most unexpected song started playing. I listen to Somebody for Someone by The Corrs three times over. It was from an album my parents used to play when I was growing up.

Excitedly, I jump up. Finally! A perfect song! A new cover! But I don't know how to do it. Just piano? Who will do the backing vocals? Wow, I could dance to this song. How can I hide my face and dance though? Before I can even think about how, I am pushing my bed across the room and against the wall, pulling all my curtains shut, throwing on completely black dance clothes and putting on the song.

It takes me a few times to figure out what to do. I dance with my back towards the camera. Looking back on what I filmed, a few of the clips will work. I then decided to film the vocals, then the backing vocals. Editing the video was the difficult part. It took me a few hours all up. I press play to watch the final piece.

"There's a deep girl in the corner shop
Selling sugar for money
in the dead of the night.
And her soul's in the sugar
and her heart's in the mud.
And she's crying with a stranger
For someone to love.

And she sings,
'Look at me, see me'
'look at me, save me'
'Free me, find me 'cause if there's
Somebody for someone,
yeah look at me'
Somebody for someone.

There's a deep boy at the corner shop
Watching sugar sell for money
to the dead at night
And he sees in her an angel
in the cruelest of worlds
Hiding in the darkness
Screaming out for love (screaming out for love)

And he sings
"look at me"
(Somebody's gonna make it right) "see me"
(Somebody's gonna make it right) "look for me"
(Somebody's gonna make it right) "save me"
(Somebody's gonna make it right) "free me
(Somebody's gonna make it right) "find me"
"'cause if (Somebody's gonna make it right)there's somebody for
Someone, come look at me"

(Somebody's gonna make it right)
(Somebody's gonna make it right)
(Somebody's gonna make it right)
(Somebody's gonna make it right)
(Somebody's gonna make it right)
(Somebody's gonna make it right)
(Somebody's gonna make it right)
(Somebody's gonna make it right)

"look at me"
(Somebody's gonna make it right) "see me"
(Somebody's gonna make it right) "look for me"
(Somebody's gonna make it right) "save me"
(Somebody's gonna make it right) "free me
(Somebody's gonna make it right) "find me"
'cause if (Somebody's gonna make it right)there's somebody for
Someone, come look at me'

(Somebody for someone...), Yeah I wanna be,
(Somebody for someone...), I know there's gotta be,
(Somebody for someone...), You've gotta be,
(Somebody for someone...), Yeah yeah...
(Somebody for someone...)
(Somebody for someone...)
(Somebody for someone...)"
