I started singing...

[Ross:]

Yeah, whoa

I'm walking on a thin line

And my hands are tied

Got nowhere to hide

I'm standing at a crossroads

Don't know where to go

Feeling so exposed

[Laura:]

Yeah I'm caught

In between

Where I'm going and where I've been

But no,

There's no turning back

Yeah!

[Both:]

It's like I'm balanced on the edge,

It's like I'm hanging by a thread,

But I'm still gonna push ahead

So I tell myself

Yeah, I tell myself

Don't look down, down, down, down

Don't look down, down, down, down

Don't look down, down, down, down

Don't look down, down, down, down

[Ross:]

It'd be so easy

Just to run

It'd be so easy

To just give up

[Laura:]

But I'm not that girl who gonna turn my back

There's no turning back

[Both:]

No turning back

[Laura:]

It's like I'm balanced on the edge

[Ross:]

It's like I'm hanging by a thread

[Laura:]

But I'm still gonna push ahead

So I tell myself

Yeah I tell myself

[Both:]

Don't look down, down, down, down

([Laura:] Doooowwwn!)

Don't look down, down, down, down

Don't look down, down, down, down

([Ross:] Don't look down! Don't look down!)

Don't look down, down, down, down!


After Laura and I finished the song everyone just stood there smiling and amazed.

"Did you write that?" Rydel asked.

"Yeah" Laura said shyly.

"That was an amazing song!" Rocky fist pumped the air.

"Th-thanks" she said.

All of a sudden the door burst opens and the teacher comes in. Everyone quickly puts the instruments down and ran to their sits.

"We are so so-" Vanessa tried to say before she got cut off by the teacher shushing her.

"Yeah we're-" Riker tried to say before the teacher shushed him too.

"I need to think" she said scanning each and everyone of us.

She starts walking towards my seat.

"Ross Shor Lynch.... You have an AMAZING VOICE!!!" the teacher screamed, jumping up and down and like fangirling.

"And you!" she said turning to Laura "I didn't know you could write songs!!!"

"Em I actually I don't uh-" Laura tried to say but got cut off by the teacher again.

"You know what you guys should do?! you should start a band!!" teacher lady yelled, "Sure that will show the principal," after a couple of moments, realization crossed her face, "That will show the principal!!" she said squealing making us jump.

She walked to Rocky's seat and asked "So are you in?"

"Oh hell yeah!" Rocky said fist pumping the air again.

She walked to Riker's seat and asked the same.

"I got basketball practice everyday," he said.

Teacher lady glared at him before walked to Rydel's seat and asking the same.

"Im pretty sure this was just a fluke" Rydel said.

"A 'fluke' are you serious?!" the teacher said annoyed.

She walked to Vanessa's seat.

"I am totally in!" Vanessa said.

She went to Ratliff's seat.

"I uh got stuff" he said scratching his head.

" 'Stuff' " she said imitating his voice and after she threw him a glare.

Then she stood between mine and Laura's seat.

"What about you 2?"

"I don't sing," we both said at the same time.

"Oh honeys we just heard you sing" she said.

"Yeah but I can't sing in like with a real audience," Laura said.

"Then why is that?"

"Im pretty sure it has to do with my stage fright.Last time I performed in front of an audience it was in my 3rd grade recital, I threw up all over Ricky Nicholsen's back."

"I remember that it was hilarious!" Rocky said laughing.

"No, it was embarrassing" Laura said shrinking back in her seat.

"What about you blondie, why won't you sing again?" the teacher said looking at me.

"If other people find out I can sing my whole reputation will be ruined!" I said.

"Ross I could tell you love singing, don't be afraid to show the world who you really are" the teacher said looking me straight in the eyes "and that goes for you too Laura, you have a really special talent, embrace it."
