okay so this is my first story and I mostly made it for myself so don't judge
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I speed walk through the crowded halls heading for the choir room, running into a few students on the way. Mrs. Peot is standing by the door. She stiffly nods her head towards me as a greeting, in a 'I son't like you but i'll be polite' sort of way. Mrs.Peot has always sort of watched me from a distance. Like in class she'll call on me when i'm not paying attention to embarrass me but she'll never talk directly to me. Some days when I feel self-conscious or embarrassed she'll be more confident and will stare at me with her strict fiery eyes, yet some days when i'm feeling pretty, or cocky she will avoid all forms of contact with me like I was saying before. I think that's why she tries to embarrass me and make me nervous because she feels more powerful when i'm down. I've had quite a few teachers like this but most of them end up leaving without a word to the school system. It's like the whole school forgets that they were ever there. It's extremely weird.
"Kara!" Lauren, my best friend whisper yells, pulling me out of my trance. I had almost walked into the side of the bleachers. I briskly walked over to her lightly blushing. I sit down on her left and set my stuff down in front of me. Lauren is, no lie, my only friend. I know hard to believe! i'm great!
"Oops, thanks for saving me there." I say back to her. "sorry my day's just been weird, Mrs.Peot keeps coming into my thoughts," I say sighing, " Not that I want her there!" I say putting my hands up defensivly.
Lauren laughs and stands up and begins to yell" Hey class Kara has a lesbian crush on.." I shush her but her voice is already fading away because Mrs.Peot walks in slamming the door and locking it. Our choir class continues their conversations oblivious to the simple action that made my ADHD start powering up. Or maybe it was just my brain communicating that this isn't a safe situation, either way I begin to feel uncomfortable being, basically, trapped in this stuffy classroom. Oh what a simple motion can do to make my anxiety go through the roof.
Mrs. Peot claps her hands together and immediately our class falls silent. Except, of course, for Lindsey smith. Annoying popular girl who thinks she owns the school. I know, totally basic mean girl book character, who exists only to ruin my life. Anyway, she keeps blabbering to one of her minions, who, frankly, I think looks like a very uncomfortable tomato.
Mrs.Peot points at Lindsey then at me and says blankly "Kara would you like the pleasure of singing the song that I assigned as homework to the class." I freeze and I feel my face go pale. She never assigned homework.
"U-Um, uh, You uh never assigned homework miss." I manage to stutter out. I internally grimace at how I said that.
"Well, Miss Larson, actually if you would have checked the homework calendar you would have noticed that we were assigned the song Mine by Bazzi." She replies mischievously. Oh how I wanna smack that smile off her face, as if the whole world isn't obsessed with that song currently. Wow I can feel my ego growing already.
"Well ma'am I did not know that this was homework," She opens her mouth and starts to take a breath to reply but I cut her off by saying, "But fourtunatly I know that song, so if you would like I can still sing it." I continue confidently. Her breath hitches in her throat and she looks shocked. I have to admit even I am surprised that I practically volunteered to sing in front of the class. Now, I don't mean to brag, but I am pretty good at singing. I just get too nervous to sing in front of anyone.
After about 3 seconds of her just plainly staring at me, shock written all over her face, she gains back her mischievous smile that makes the confidence drain straight out of me.
"Alright Miss Larson, go ahead." She hisses. Even though I feel like an outsider with the whole class staring at me like I'm the new kid, I manage to sit up. I take a breath and begin the trek towards the front of the classroom where a microphone stands.
"Um, Lauren cue the music." I say trying to break the wall of nerves that seemingly surrounds my thoughts. I start to get overwhelmed so I take a breath. That's it inhale, soothing thoughts, exhale. Repeat. Soon enough the music starts, turns out Lauren knows me well because she found the audio where bazzi is talking but he doesn't sing after the beginning. I smile to myself when I hear his laugh, It reminds me of a man's voice I always heard in my past, yet I don't know whose. I break my line of thought when I hear Bazzi speak the lines before the music starts.
You so fuckin' precious when you smile
I immediately feel a warmth spread across my body and a new light seems to fill the room. Mrs.Peot's smile is wiped clean off her face.
Hit it from the back and drive you wild
The class gapes at me, and I smile
Girl I, lose myself up, in those ey-ey-ey-ey-eyes
All the boys were staring at me as if they had never seen me before.
I just had to let you know you're mine,
I started swaying and moving to the beat
Hands on your body, I don't wanna waste no time
At this point I was singing so perfectly, but I wasn't in control anymore, the words were just leaking out of my mouth.
Feels like forever, even if forevers tonight.
Just lay with me waste this night away with me, you're. Mine! I can''t look away, I just gotta say
Lauren was swaying along with me and happily mouthing along with me.
I'm so fucking happy you're alive.
Swear to god i'm down if you're down all you gotta say is right.
Girl anything I can do just to make you feel alright
At this point I wasn't really thinking I was just, singing.
Ohoooohohoh
I just had to let you know your fine,
running circles round' my mind.
even when it's rainy all you ever do is shine
You on fire, you a star just like mariah,
Man this feel incredible, i'll turn into a bride you're
Mine, hands on your body I don't wanna waste your time
Feels like forever even if forever's tonight.
Just lay with me waste this night away with me your
Mine, I can't look away I just gotta say,
I finished the song and everyone was silent.
