Once we arrived at the music room I grabbed my favourite steal string guitar and a head band mic.

Grabbing Jake a steal string, and handing it to him I asked, "Can you play?"

With a smirk he took the guitar from me and started strumming the chords to Riptide by Vance Joy. Soon he started in with the lyrics, and I joined in singing in perfect harmony.

I was scared of dentists and the dark
I was scared of pretty girls and starting conversations
Oh, all my friends are turning green
You're the magician's assistant in their dream

Oh, and they come unstuck

Lady, running down to the riptide
Taken away to the dark side
I wanna be your left hand man
I love you when you're singing that song and
I got a lump in my throat 'cause
You're gonna sing the words wrong

Is this movie that I think you'll like
This guy decides to quit his job and heads to New York City
This cowboy's running from himself
And she's been living on the highest shelf

Oh, and they come unstuck

Lady, running down to the riptide
Taken away to the dark side
I wanna be your left hand man
I love you when you're singing that song and
I got a lump in my throat 'cause
You're gonna sing the words wrong

I just wanna, I just wanna know
If you're gonna, if you're gonna stay
I just gotta, I just gotta know
I can't have it, I can't have it any other way
I swear she's destined for the screen
Closest thing to Michelle Pfeiffer that you've ever seen, oh

Lady, running down to the riptide
Taken away to the dark side
I wanna be your left hand man
I love you when you're singing that song and
I got a lump in my throat 'cause
You're gonna sing the words wrong

Oh Lady, running down to the riptide
Taken away to the dark side
I wanna be your left hand man
I love you when you're singing that song and
I got a lump in my throat 'cause
You're gonna sing the words wrong

Oh lady, running down to the riptide
Taken away to the dark side
I wanna be your left hand man
I love you when you're singing that song and
I got a lump in my throat 'cause
You're gonna sing the words wrong
And I got a lump in my throat 'cause
You're gonna sing the words wrong

When the song came to an end the whole class erupted into cheers and clapping, causing me to blush deeply, turning into a tomato. Jake just sat there smiling and staring at me.

"That was awesome! You're voice is perfect for the song we're doing! Will you please sing for the performance with me?!?!?" I begged. "Mrs.Gyles wanted me to find a male lead to do a duet with and your perfect for it! Please?!?!?" I begged.

"What? Why?"

"Because your voice is amazing!"

"Fine. But only if you'll go on a date with me this Friday." he stated with his signature smirk plastered on his lips.

"Yeah sure whatever." I replied without thinking.
I was so excited for the performance that I wasn't paying attention to what he was saying.

"Great. Ill pick you up at seven. Oh, and wear something casual."

"Wait what?!?!?" I screamed.

"For our date on Friday. The one you whole-heartedly agreed to."

"I never agreed to a go on a date with you!"

"Oh, but sweetheart. You jus did."
With one last smirk he left me dazed and started strumming chords to Let It Be by The Beatles. Quickly grabbing my guitar, and taking my pick out of my locket, I passed one of my other ones to jake and joined in.

When the song finished, Jake suddenly poked my necklace.
"What's that?"

Looking down at the locket with my silver pick glued to it with the words, "You're love with be safe with me" encrusted on it, I felt of wave if pain flood through me.

"Uh, it was a gift from my boyfriend. He gave it to me for my birthday along with the locket. He took me out to dinner at an Italian restaurant, and when we were driving home, there was an accident... H-h-e-e-e d-d-d-I-I-e-d. We were hit by a van, and I was barely even injured, but he.... The van hit his side of the car ad he took the impact. I haven't taken this locket off ever since." I managed to choke out the last part before bursting into tears.

He quickly came over and embraced me in his arms for a hug. I sat there crying into his shoulder for a few minutes until I calmed down.

"When he died I glued the pick to the font of my locket, reminding me of him. It's the only think besides a hoody that I have left if him. I loved him. Now I also keep extra picks in the locket for music class."

He nodded and slowly lifted a thumb I face, gently wiping away my tears. Slowly standing up, he took my hand and lead me to the water fountain in the hallway. I splashed water on my face and dabbed away the ruined make up, in the mirror at my locker, quickly applying a new layer.

"Thanks. I think I'm ready to go back in now." I quietly told Jake.

He simply nodded and leaded me back into the class.

We decided on Everything Has Changed by Ed Sheeran and Taylor Swift for the performance, because its a perfect duet. After working on it for a good forty five minutes, we took a quick water break and went back to pack up our stuff.

So thanks to everyone who's read my story so far. After getting into the the story later on, ill probably go back and write the cast members but for now I'm just gonna let you know that no this story has nothing to do with real life, and yes some of the characters coming in later are based on real people. Thanks
