Gosh, it's my turn. I never really thought of who my song was for even though I was dating Kale. I didn't feel like the lyrics were for her. It was like they were for someone else. Summer's song was amazing. When she sang, I felt something. Like she was trying to tell me something. Kale's comment made me wonder if the song really was about me and what Summer said as well.

I think I like Summer but I'm no good for her. I'm a heartbreaker and I hate to see my friends hurt. I don't want to hurt Summer.

Oh, her eyes her eyes make the stars look like they're not shinin' 

Her hair, her hair falls perfectly without her trying

She's so beautiful and I tell her every day

Yeah, I know, I know when I compliment her she won't believe me

And it's so, it's so sad to think that she don't see what I see

But every time she asks me "Do I look okay?"

I say


When I see your face

There's not a thing that I would change 'cause you're amazing

Just the way you are

And when you smile

The whole world stops and stares for a while

'Cause girl you're amazing

Just the way you are

Yeah


Her lips, her lips, I could kiss them all day if she'd let me

Her laugh, her laugh, she hates but I think it's so sexy

She's so beautiful and I tell her every day


Oh you know, you know, you know I'd never ask you to change

If perfect's what you're searching for then just stay the same

So don't even bother asking if you look okay, you know I 'll say


When I see your face

There's not a thing that I would change

'Cause you're amazing

Just the way you are

And when you smile

The whole world stops and stares for a while

'Cause girl, you're amazing

Just the way you are


The way you are

The way you are

Girl, you're amazing

Just the way you are


When I see your face

There's not a thing that I would change

'Cause you're amazing

Just the way you are

And when you smile

The whole world stops and stares for a while

'Cause girl you're amazing

Just the way you are


Yeah


I finished up the song and the class clapped. I just sat back down lost in my thoughts. I don't know what this means. Kale then came up to me and hugged me. I didn't hug back though, I just looked at her like she was crazy.

"Freddy! I would love to get back together." She said happily and I scoffed, "As if. I broke up with you for a reason. That song was for Summer." I quickly covered my mouth and Summer's head shot up.

"Really!? You really meant it?" She asked happily but Kale was whispering in my ear, "If you fucking say yes I will hurt you in ways you've never been hurt before and more importantly, Ill kill Summer." Kale whispered. I cant let Summer get hurt but this is my one chance to be with Summer. I can't risk her life though. I have to be smart and do what is best for both Summer and me.

"Actually no," I said and instantly regret it. Summer's smile quickly faded into a mix of angry and heartbroken. "Stop playing with my feelings, Huerta." She said and stormed out of the room.

"Kale, would you just leave us alone. Nobody likes you." Tomika told Kale. I didn't stick up for her or anything. Who am I to argue? Kale just scoffed. "I don't give two fucks if you guys like me. Freddy likes me. But Tomika, I'll tell you who does like you. Zack, get ready to confess." Kale said and wiggled her eyebrows which made me cringe. She's going to spill Zack's secret!

The most unexpected thing happened though. Tomika blushed!? I expected her to be disgusted and gag or something. But no. "Ohh you're blushing!" Kale teased and Tomika looked like she was ready to pounce on her. 
"Shut up bitch. I only blush when I smell or see food and I saw a sandwich on your desk so... don't mind if I do." Tomika said and helped herself to grab Kale's sandwich and started eating. "Joke's on you! I only use organic products. No meat, no cheese only kale and veggies!" Kale said and I almost gagged on the thought of ugh, vegetables. Tomika spit the bite she took back into the bag and threw the bag at Kale.

"Ew! You're fucking gross!" Tomika said and wiped her mouth. Kale looked insulted but then again, she always is. "Watch your profanity! You talk to your mother with that mouth?" Kale questioned sassily. "Yes. We have long conversations." Tomika responded even more sassily. The whole class just sat back listening. This was a great show. I could watch it all day. Even Mr. Finn is listening. But Ms. Mullins has to be a dumb buzzkill and interrupt. She was trying to get out attention but Tomika didn't care. She just kept yelling in Kale's face.

"You're a fucking bitch!" She yelled and Kale tried to slap her. "You're the bitch who's got a dirty mouth. All you ever do is say curse  words." Kale yelled back. "Bitch, if you think I've got a dirty mouth then why don't you fucking get a job as my dentist and fucking clean it!" Tomika screamed irritated. Th whole class the gave each other 'ooh' looks. The fight finally broke up and a few more people went. When Zack was about to go up, Kale made another comment about Tomika and Zack and the fight started again. Ms. Mullins decided enough was enough when Tomika slapped Kale across her face.

" Alright, THAT'S IT! Tomika, Kale, My office now!" Ms. Mullins said. I just mentally screamed! Tomika cant go to the office! Zack's song is for her! I shot Zack a worried look and he looked so sad.

"No!" Zack yelled to Ms. Mullins. "Can she please stay for my performance? I want my friends to hear me sing." Zack lied. I know he didn't give a damn if Summer, Lawrence and I heard him sing. 

Ms. Mullins hesitated and I saw her glance over at Mr. Finn who mouthed the words 'His song is for her!' and Ms. Mullins nodded. "Tomika go ahead and take your seat. Kale, you're going to the office right away," she said and Kale groaned as they walked out of the classroom.

Time for Zack. GOOD LUCK BUDDY!
