Story of my Life

Practicing

     Jessie looks at me and smiles," Are you two like a thing now?" 

                        I look at Jessie and blush. " No Jess. Harry and I are not a thing. We are just friends and he let me borrow his jacket." She looks at me not believing a word I am saying. I just shrug her off and continue to walk to class. I can feel people walking behind me but I don't turn around. " Kenzie boo slow down," I hear Alice call from behind me. I just ignore her and walk into class. I really don't want to answer any more questions.

                        AFTER SCHOOL

                        I rush out of last period and run to the sign up sheet by the front door. I'm excited that they are doing a talent show!  I sign my name and walk out the front door. I smile noticing Jamie. I look at the others and notice that it's just Harry, Niall, and Jamie. " Hey guys where is everyone else," I ask walking closer. Jamie blushes as Niall answers. "They are at the hotel. Harry wanted to pick you up but Jamie wouldn't let him come alone so her and I came along." I blush, hiding my face. " Aww that's sweet Harry. Thank you." " No problem," he smirks.

                        " Hey Jamie guess what," I jump up and down. " What," Jamie ask jumping with me. " I'm going to be in the talent show next week," I squeal. Jamie hugs me tightly. The boys soon join in making me laugh. As soon as they release me Harry picks me up and spins me around. Okay.. awkward. He lets me go and I step back. " Kenzie if you want we can help you," Niall tells me with a smile. " Sure. That would be amazayn," I giggle. Jamie and the boys catch what I did and bust out laughing. 

                        " Kenzie are you coming home tonight," I hear Bella call me. I ignore her and hug the boys. Thanking them for offering to help me. " McKenzie! I'm talking to you," Bella yells angrily. I turn around and face her along with the others. " What," I ask annoyed. " Are you coming home tonight? If so you can ride with Edward and I," she states. I roll my eyes at her and turn around. " I'm not riding with you guys. I'm going with Jamie, Niall, and Harry and they are helping me with the talent show." With that I climb in the car and we are off to the hotel.

                        **********************

                        " So what will you be doing for the talent show," Perrie ask me, plopping on the couch next to me. " Well to be honest I'm thinking about singing a song by a certain group," I tel her with a smile. " Oh cool. What group?" " Your," I tell her making her squeal. "Are you serious?" I nod at her and she tackles me to the ground. " What song," Jamie ask, speaking louder so I could hear. Once Perrie gets off of me I tell them. " I want to sing wings."

                        **********************

                        " Okay so you raise your  pitch here and lower it here," Perrie tells me. She's showing me how she sings the song and what I should do. " Okay. I think I got it." " Okay give it a go then," she encourages. 
 

Mama told me not to waste my life
She said spread your wings my little butterfly

Don't let what they say keep you up at night
And if they give you shhhh...
Then they can walk on by

My feet, feet can't touch the ground
And I can't hear a sound
But you just keep on running up your mouth yeah

Walk, walk on over there
'Cause I'm too fly to care, oh yeah

Your words don't mean a thing
I'm not listening
Keep talking, all I know is

Mama told me not to waste my life,
She said spread your wings my little butterfly
Don't let what they say keep you up at night
And they can't detain you
'Cause wings are made to fly
And we don't let nobody bring us down
No matter what you say – it won't hurt me
Don't matter if I fall from the sky
These wings are made to fly
 

                        " That was good. Now we are going to practice everyday until the talent show. When is it again?" I roll my eyes at her. " Perrie the talent show is next Friday and today is Thursday." She nods and smiles at me. She squeezes me once more before she goes on her 'date ' with Zayn, Laim is out with Dani, Louis and El are gone, and Niall took Jamie out to get Pizza. That leaves me here with Harry. Alone. " Hey Kenzie. How'd it go with practicing?" I shrug," It was okay." He sits beside me and smiles. " You know I could help you if you want," Harry offers. I smile and nod.

                        He grabs my hand and drags me over to the stereo. He turns the cd back on and urges me to sing. I sing my heart out. Every now and then he would chime in with saying things like ' clap your hands' or ' pat your knees'. I followed his instructions and move around the room acting like I had an audience to liven up. By the end I felt like I had nailed it. 

                        I plop on the couch and grab my lyric bookand begin writing down the lyrics I have been hearing in my head all day. "What you doing," Harry ask sitting next to me. " I write songs. Everytime I have lyrics in my head I write them down and turn them into a song," I tell him. He nods and smiles at me. " Can you sing one to me," he ask sweetly. I gulp nervously but nod. I know Harry wouldn't criticize my lyrics.

Oh, oh, oh, it's magic, you know
Never believe it's not so
It's magic, you know
Never believe it's not so

I never been awake, I never seen a day break
Leaning on my pillow in the morning
A lazy day in bed, music in my head
Crazy music playing in the morning light

Oh, oh, oh, it's magic, you know
Never believe it's not so
It's magic, you know
Never believe it's not so

Another sunny day, and dreamin' far away
Dreaming on my pillow in the morning
Never been awake, I never seen a day break
Leaning on my pillow in the morning light

                        " That was amazing," Harry says shocked. I blush and hide my face. " Don't hide your beautiful face," he tells me putting his hand on my chin tilting my head to look at him. Slowly he leans in, our lips meeting. I felt a sudden spark. I could feel butterflies in my stomach but, I pushed them away. Harry Styles is kissing me! Me!
