Fiona walked quickly over to us, her head hung down low. When she got here, I held it up. "Right, this is Enoch," he pointed to a boy who was currently having and argument with a girl. "And that's Emma." As soon as she heard her name, the girl walked over. "Hi, I'm Emma. We're supposed to do a scene containing a song and a dance, so what do you guys have in mind?" I smiled smugly at Fiona. "Lets let Fiona choose." She turned a surprising shade of scarlet and simply shrugged. "Come on, Fiona!" Moaned Enoch. Fiona shrugged again and pointed at Bronwyn. "OK, my fave song." Enoch sighed. "But you always choose that song!" "Fiona pointed at me!" "So? If she had been here for the past four years her ears would be bleeding too!"

After a big argument between Enoch and Bronwyn, we started. The song was Somebody To You by The Vamps feat. Demi Lovato. Emma started by pretending to tease me, who'd be singing the main part, and the Enoch, who'd be with me, like The Vamps. Then Bronwyn asked Fiona if she could sing, and Fiona took her to a corner. When they returned, Fiona amazingly did the Demi part, though a little quiet. Emma, Bronwyn and Enoch stared. I literally went over and hugged her, which startled her. She blushed. Then Bronwyn grabbed a two tennis racket props from the props box, so we could act out the way the did in the music video.

"Now, you will all perform. So, you'd like to go first?" The male teacher (Mr O'Brian) pointed at out group. The others shrugged; Fiona shrank away. "Today, please," he grunted. Emma and Bronwyn got into position so did Millard and I. Then we started singing:

Me: I used to wanna be
Living life as only me-e
But now I spend my time
Thinking 'bout a way to get you off my mind
Emma, Bronwyn, Enoch: Yeah you!
Me: I used to be so tough
Never really gave enough-ough
But then you caught my eye
Giving me the feeling of a lightning strike
Me, Enoch: Can't stop me now
I'm falling
Can't even talk
Still stuttering
This ground of mine keeps shaking
Oh oh oh
NOW!
Me, Enoch, Emma, Bronwyn, Fiona: All I wanna be
Yeah all I ever wanna be
Yeah yeah
Is somebody to you
All I wanna be
yeah all I ever wanna be
Yeah yeah
Is somebody to you
Everybody wants to be a billionaire
But every time I look at you I just don't care
Cause all I wanna be
Yeah all I ever wanna be
Yeah yeah
Is somebody to you
Emma, Bronwyn, Enoch: Yeah you!
Fiona: I used to run around
I didn't wanna settle down
But now I wake each day
Looking for a way that I can see your face
Me, Enoch: Yeah you!
Fiona: I've got your photograph
But baby I need more then that-at
I need to known your lips
Nothing ever mattered to me more then this
Fiona, Me: Can't stop me now
I'm falling
Can't even talk
Still stuttering
This ground of mine keeps shaking
Oh oh oh
Now!
All: All I wanna be
Yeah all I ever wanna b
Yeah yeah
Is somebody to you
All I wanna be yeah all I ever wanna be
Yeah yeah
Is somebody to you
Everybody wants to be a billionaire
But every time I look at you
I just don't care
Cause all I wanna be
Yeah all I ever wanna be
Yeah yeah
Is somebody to you
Emma, Bronwyn: Yeah you!

The entire class stared at us - some even clapped. Mr O'Brian and Mrs Kaen were very pleased! "Well done, students. You took a lot time and did amazing work like always." Smiled Mrs Kaen. "I think you could've given more people solo parts," hissed Mr O'Brian. "Oliver! You always criticize them! Now shut up!" Hissed Mrs Kaen, under her breath.

It took a while, but after everyone performed, we were told to vote. And guess what? We won! We all got gold stars in our gold star column, and after lesson, we were all loopy! Me and Enoch ran ahead to our favourite bench behind the lunch hall, pushing and shoving in a playful way to see who would tell Millard first. Emma, Bronwyn and Fiona were chatting quietly behind, but they were following us. Fiona was defiantly becoming part of our group!
