The Cube's Child | A Cube SMP Story

New Partner - Part 9

Lilac's P.O.V

I got ready early the next morning. I've to be at school early for a quick, last minute singing rehearsal for my part.

I had breakfast over at Will and Liam's house and I played video games while waiting for Liam.

He dropped me at school and I ran for the door. I said hi as I ran past many of the early birds that I'm friends with.

I burst into the assembly hall just in time. Everyone looked up at me, and the head of music came over to me to give me my script and tell me who my partner is for the audition.

"Here's the script, you ace this singing, you have the role! Your partner is the boy over there leaning against the wall, his name's Jordan. You've got a few minutes to figure out what you want to sing and everything else. Be nice to him, he's going for lead boy role." She said before walking away.

I swiftly walked over to him. He looked up at me and smiled lightly. He had dark hair, brown eyes and was in the general boys school uniform.

"Hey, you're my partner right?"

"Yep. I'm Jordan but call me Bayani, I'm new here but I guess I'll get to know this place soon enough." He replied.

"Is this your first day?"

"Yeah, I don't really know where I'm going after this. But I want this role." He said.

"I can probably help you out on both those things. So whatcha wanna sing?"

He looked at the script and said,"The one at bottom if you know it."

"Sounds good, let's go!"

We went up onto the stage and followed the directions on the script. The teacher started the music and everyone else in the hall quietened and sat to watch.

(Song at top)
I am not the only traveler
Who has not repaid his debt
I've been searching for a trail to follow again
Take me back to the night we met

And then I can tell myself
What the hell I'm supposed to do
And then I can tell myself
Not to ride along with you

I had all and then most of you
Some and now none of you
Take me back to the night we met
I don't know what I'm supposed to do
Haunted by the ghost of you
Oh, take me back to the night we met

When the night was full of terrors
And your eyes were filled with tears
When you had not touched me yet
Oh, take me back to the night we met

I had all and then most of you
Some and now none of you
Take me back to the night we met
I don't know what I'm supposed to do
Haunted by the ghost of you
Take me back to the night we met

We ended holding hands, before bowing and sitting down to watch everyone else's audition. Jordan went and sat at the back so during one performance I got up from my seat with a few friends and sat down next to him.

When they finished we all clapped and the people organising stepped out the room to decide so everyone just talked to whoever they wanted. So I turned to Bayani.

"Here, do you know what class you're in?"

"I'm in A, what about you?" He replied.

"I'm in A as well! Nice, you can just follow me."

"Like a creep? That's what you want?" He joked.

"You're not a creep, you're my new friend. And..." I said before being cut off by the teacher starting to shout out who got the roles.

"And last but not least, our leads are going to be Jordan and Lilac. Go and practice and be here every Friday after school for rehearsals! Right go to class now." She said as the bell went.

All of a sudden panic set in and I realized that was the bell. I grabbed Jordan by the wrist and started running.

"Why are we running?" He yelled to me and we sped through the halls.

"Registration for A is at the other end of the school and we have two minutes to get there!" I shouted back.

He eventually sped up and started pulling me along. My feet barely touched the floor as we ran into the room.

We had just made it and I pulled Bayani to sit in the empty seat next to me.

"Hey Lil, who's the new boy?" Delphron said from beside me.

"Oh yeah, Bayani this is Delphron, Bee, Straub and Dylan."

They all said hey and the six of us hung out in school for the whole day. I introduced Bayani to pretty much everyone and they all got along.

I was walking out of school talking to him. And when we got to the gate, we kinda stood there awkwardly.

"I know it's your first day, but we could go back to mine and practice, if you want?"

"If it's ok with your parents then that's cool."

"Great, don't worry you can pay me back for the bus."

Once we got to my stop, we got out and went to the house. I unlocked the door and quickly checked if the recording signs were up. And they were. Great.

"Listen, we can't go in and practice here because my parents... Are doing work but we can go to my uncle's house."

He nodded and we walked over. I let him in and they were sorting out stuff in the kitchen.

"Hey guys, I got the part! Is it ok if me and Bayani practice in my room?" I asked hugging them both.

"Yeah that's ok." They replied and I took Bayani by the hand upstairs. To my very untidy room...

_________________________________________

I miss Bayani. He's been gone so long. I know he has a new channel but he hasn't posted in months. But he's on Twitter so when I finally get around to make Kayani art I know how to get to him. Jk.

I know I did a vote because I couldn't decide who I wanted in this book. In all seriousness I knew Parker was gonna win. But..... I don't really watch many of his videos. Maybe the occasional one or if he's in someone else's video I will but I'm not a big fan. I may try and put him in somewhere, but it won't be lead. Thanks guys,
Skye

P.s. this book is only going to have one other song, I just wanted to set up them both singing. Parker fans.... Please don't kill me. And to those who don't know Bayani.... He's like another Will. Sorta, kinda but not really.
