CODE RED (Book 1)

On My Mind

We all worked on the song that we were supposed to be singing for the contest, we just needed a catchy tune to go with it, along with a beat of course.

But then after playing our instruments from the practice band room we made our way up to the studio just as the group of people who were watching us perform went about their own business giving us plenty of complements on how well we played.

So now we were pooped- or should I say, slacking off for coming up with music for the song but we had some ideas but we all agreed to play it tomorrow since we still had 10 more days to play it and memorize it. Today being officially day one of practice.

I watched Alex on the small stage, gripping the mic on it's stand as he sang in a peaceful voice that was amazing to hear. He sang with so much passion and emotion that all of it washed over me making the same feeling spread out threw my chest causing a warm smile to cross over my lips.

I sat on a piano stool my fingers moving in slow key, following the sound of his voice, slowly moving my head back and forth listening to Alex go on high octave just slightly only to go into a low whisper making his voice sound smooth.

It was then that Nai came in with the drums, making the beat match with Alex's voice as it got high again.

" Let them all go home, we're out late."

"We Don't Care what them people say"

"We Don't to be ordinary!"

"Make your best mistakes! "

"Cause we don't have the time to be sorry!"

"So baby be the life of the party!"

I'm telling you to take your shot it might be scary, hearts are gonna break!

"Cause we don't have the time to be sorry."

"So baby be the life of the party."

D.C stood against the wall nodding her head to the music while clapping her one hand against a tambourine as we all continued to play in the private studio room.

Alex closed his eyes moving his body slowly to the music still keeping a hold on the mic as he sang. I could tell he was in his element. I understood that this was a favorite thing for him to do. Was singing. He was amazing at it even though I didn't know the song he was currently singing I still enjoyed it.

"Come out tonight, come out tonight!"

"There's no one standing in your way!"

"Come out tonight, come out tonight!"

"We don't care what them people say."

"We don't care what them people say."

"We don't have to be ordinary!"

"Make your best mistakes!"

"Cause we don't have the time to be sorry"

"So baby be the 'life of the party.'

"I'm telling you to take your shot it might be scary!"

"Hearts are gonna break!"

"Cause we don't have the time to be sorry."

"So baby be the life of the party." Alex's voice faded as he finished the song, now opening his eyes with the smile still plastered to his face.
