*Michael’s P.O.V*
Kicking the bin to my left with frustration I let out a loud sigh, Why do I even do this, Why do I consist of fucking my life to please these ‘friends’ of mine, What am I even looking to achieve with this shit? I certainly don’t want to impress them, It’s all just fucking shit and I hate it. Now I have to spend all my time after school with these fucking drama nerds. Hair tied back, Glasses on. Pathetic. I’m not like that, I don’t ‘act’. I pulled my phone out of my pocket and typed in my passcode, A message from Dan popped up at the top.
“Have fun with the Drama Nerds;)”
Anger took over my body and I threw my phone as far as I could, I instantly regretted it and ran to where it lay, The screen was smashed in numerous places and A bit of the glass in the bottom corner was chipped off, Great now my mum would be pissy at me too. This wasn’t my day.
As I came through the front door to my house I threw my bag to the side of the corridor and ran up to my room, I stripped off my school uniform and changed into a pair of grey joggers and a baggy blue t-shirt, I ruffled my hair in the mirror and fell back onto my bed, Spending a few minutes just thinking about the day I had just been through. Suddenly I Flipped forward and reached under my bed, I felt around for a while and pulled out a brown leather book, The pages inside were tatty and old, But had writing on the majority, On the front it read ‘Stuff.’ Flicking through the books I was reminded of the songs that Dan, Ben and Myself used to write, My eyes fluttered towards the song titled ‘Girl you’re amazing’ This was the song I had anonymously submitted towards the school musical, And I knew it was being used, I also knew the song was for a male lead. I was the male lead. I read over the first few lines and began to notice myself humming along to the tune, I snapped out of it and threw the book behind my bed in a panic incase anyone was listening. Of course I secretly knew that no one was listening, I was an only child and My mum and dad worked till late, it left me alone in the house a lot of the time, and I used that time with my music, Singing, Writing, and playing guitar occasionally.
No one knew of this except Ben and Dan, They were the ones I trusted, As happy as I am to be friends with Aiden and Toby, I don’t have enough trust within them, Whereas Dan and Ben knew everything about me, and my life. My mind darted back to the script that lay in my bag, and I realised I had to learn it at some point, I jumped down the stairs and grabbed the crumpled heap of paper from my bag, Grabbed a can of coke from the kitchen fridge and ran back up to my room. And there it was, the opening song. ‘Girl you’re amazing’ Other songs included
‘Perfect to me’
‘Little too late’
‘Life after love’
‘Every heartbeat’
‘Why can’t you see’
All without credit to the writers, I read through ‘Perfect to me’ and my eyes instantly became fixed to the words.
‘You looked deep in my heart,
All you’ll find is love,
You keep searching for fairy tales,
Just ignoring us’
This was a duet between the lead girl and boy. In the middle of the paper was a small program, it had all the cast on, besides me obviously, I searched for the main girl and saw her name. ‘Beth Skelly’ My throat dried up and my muscles grew tense as I read over the name, Beth was a girl from my year who I’d been in love with since I first saw her, I began to bully her in year seven because I was confused by how I felt, so I tried bullying her to get past the feelings, Of course as I grew older I realised what I was doing and that it didn’t help, so I instantly stopped, Yet still everytime I walked past her and smelt her grapefruit fragrance, My palms would sweat and I’d begin to act like an idiot. I don’t know when I first fell for that girl, but I know I fell hard, And now I had to sing these soppy love songs to her in a musical.
