The Love Triangle

Love Triangle: Chapter Four

                  School Clubs

My first day of school turned out to be way better than I'd expected it to be. I impressed a couple of teachers and students with what I'd learnt in my previous schooling years, back in Libya. It was all going well for me. Mom was doing well at work and luckily, the principal hadn't called her about my written warning.

It was the second day of school for me and I'd decided to join the school choir, debate camp and academic decathlon.

I know it's weird for me to do this, but don't judge me!

After school, we had a choir audition to see what vocal groups we were supposed to be in. Not to 'honk' my own horn. Honk, Honk! But I nailed my audition!

I got into the choir room after school and I was placed next to Sabrina. She seemed busy,  memorising the lines to the song she was going to audition with.
Mrs. Soora, our choir instructor, walked in as bubbly as ever and began speaking.

"Welcome!"

"Glad to be here! ",the students all echoed.

"Today, we have to audition with a love song. Okay?"

"Yes, ma'am.", Sabrina chirped like a 5 year old on a sugar rush from eating too much ice-cream.

"Who's first on my list?", Mrs. Soora asked looking up at her list. "Oh, yes. Amber Ackworth!"

"Um..um...here, ma'am.", she said in her high pitched voice.

The shy girl surprised us all when she opened up her mouth to sing Naughty Girl by Beyoncé! She didn't hit all the high notes. It sounded like a cow mooing most of the time... but in a nice way.

We clapped and the next person was called. "Billy Cambridgeshire!"

Billy got up and sang Unfaithful by Rihanna. He did good.

We clapped again and the next person was called."Jake Daven!"
Me!
I nervously stood up and sang my heart out to If I Don't Have You By Tamar Braxton.

Sitting in the dark, off in my room, thinking of you
I'm at the brink of me, breaking down
Cause all these thoughts of me and you apart
Won't leave my head right now

Baby, baby, call me crazy
Cause I know without you I won't be no good
When the latch on my heart comes unhooked

You should know if I don't have you
(Rocks me to the core, I can't love no more)
If I don't have you
(Know I'm done for sure, nobody worth fighting for)
I'll tear down these walls that's on my life
I'll lose my mind if I don't have you
If I don't have you

Looking at my phone, but you ain't even call
I put it in the drawer, cause I wanna be right next to you
If you wanna talk, baby come on through
Before it's all done, tell me I'm your only one

Baby, baby, call me crazy
Cause I know without you I won't be no good
When the latch on my heart comes unhooked

You should know if I don't have you
(Rocks me to the core, I can't love no more)
If I don't have you
(Know I'm done for sure, nobody worth fighting for)
I'll tear down these walls that's on my life
I'll lose my mind if I don't have you
If I don't have you

It's way too late to start things over
Can't seem to get it together
We try, and we try, but we won't look wrong dead in their eyes
Try and make it right, cause I don't wanna fight
Can't see myself without you in my mind
Please don't say you're done with me
Cause you're my baby, baby

Cause you know if I don't have you
(Rocks me to the core, I can't love no more)
If I don't have you
(Know I'm done for sure, nobody worth fighting for)
I'll tear down these walls that's on my life
I'll lose my mind if I don't
If I don't have you
(Rocks me to the core, I can't love no more)
If I don't have you, I know I'm done for sure
Nobody worth fighting for, baby I'll tear down these walls
That's on my life, I'll lose my mind if I don't have you
If I don't have (you)
Baby, baby

Because of my nerves I closed my eyes the whole song through. My heart stopped when I heard all but clapping. Deafening silence throughout the room. I finally decided to open up my eyes and see for myself. To my surprise, everyone was shocked and after 30 whole seconds of awkward silence they all burst out cheering and clapping.

I sat down, not really used to the attention. At that moment I was eyed by a masculine guy in the corner. He looked like a tomato due to hisattentace. He stared me down and I returned the gesture. The whole audition session the mystery man in the corner didn't take his beady, little eyes off me.

It was weird and also very annoying. I felt uncomfortable as his dark brown eyes pierced into my very soul. He kept staring for minutes on end, ignoring the e auditioning.
