My first performance.
I wake up the next morning Soda's arms no longer wrapped around me I slowly creep downstairs, but nobody's here, I let a loud sigh before I decide to go job hunting today. Boy I really need one. I quickly straighten my hair, before digging through my clothes finding a fancy blouse, black jeans, black wedges, with my golden locket that Tommy got me for our anniversary, then the charm bracelet that my parents gave to me for Christmas, and the promise ring Tommy gave me right before I left. I then did my make-up, blush, pink lipstick, mascara and some under eyeliner. I don't use much make-up, whenever I try it just came out horrible so, I just stick to the basics.
I spend the day wondering around Tulsa, hoping to find a job somewhere both west and east side. I finally come to some Angel Walk, it was on the east side of town where all the Socs live but, hey who cares. I walk in and nobody seemed to notice that I was a Grease, although I was dresses like a middle class person though. I walk into the office to see a tall, stocky guy with light brown almost blonde hair, and light blue-green eyes. He looks up at me and gestures for me to sit, I do as he says."H-hi I'm uh, Basil," I say stumbling over my words.
"I'm Robert," he says in a deep voice. I hold in a giggle really wanting this job but, his voice is just so funny.
"I'd like to apply for the singing job," I say with a smile.
"Can you sing?" He asks dully not making eye contact.
"You tell me, dow, ray, me, fa, so, la, ti, dow, ti, la, so, fa, me, ray, dow," I sang out with all my heart into this little words imagining that it was Tommy standing in front of me and me singing about how much I love him.
He looks up at me shocked and happily announces, "you got the job! Tonight at six you're singing."
"Thanks," I say walking out.
Before I walk out he commands, "before you leave, you gotta meet Sylvia, she's in the back room practicing."
I walk the back room to see a girl with jet black long curly hair, dark brown eyes, pale face, and bright red lipstick. I walk over to her saying, "you must be Sylvia."
"And you are?" She asks eyeing me up and down as if I was no good trash.
"Basil," I reply giving her a smile.
"You a Soc?" She asking looking at my outfit it was pretty fancy.
"Grease," I smile.
"Me too," she says changing her expression to a welcoming one.
"When does your practice end?" I ask her.
"When ever I want, so I say right now," she says grabbing me wrist and pulling me outside.
"Where are we going?" I ask with a giggle.
"Anywhere," she smiled back to me with another small giggle.
"My place?" I ask.
"Great, idea we can get ready for your first performance, I call front row seat," she says letting me lead. As we walked to my house we shared tons of giggles, smiles and stories. We finally get to the house and as we walked in her eyes wondered to Soda. She looks at me whispering, "you know Sodapop Curtis!"
"He's my twin," I whisper back and I swear she almost died of shock.
"Hey Basil, where you be-" he started but stopped as soon as he soon as he saw Sylvia. She looked at me mouthing 'oh my god, he's looking at me! I might die!' I hold back a giggle watching as Sodapop stares at her. Darry then walked into the room asking, "who's this?"
"My co-worker Sylvia, also my friend. By the way, I have my first performance tonight at six," I inform them.
"Where?" Steve asked.
"It's on the east side, it's called Angel Walk but, I can get ya'll the friends and family discount," I smile.
"Yea, me too," Sylvia says smiling at Soda.
"Well we have to get ready we only have an hour," I squealed dragging Sylvia upstairs.
As six O'clock rolls around, I walk downstairs, wearing my favorite short, tight, red dress with messy, wild, sexy dark brown curls, hooker red lipstick and make-up to perfection, Sylvia did it. I look at the gang to see them all staring at me including Dally. Two-bits walks up to me asking, "why did I break up with you again?"
"I don't know Two, you were the Mickey to my Minnie, but we're totally over each other now," I say hugging him before whispering. "Sorry Two." I look over to Dally and walk right in front of him repeating for the second time, "you can look but, you can't touch." I smiled innocently, but walking away biting my lip.
"Gosh, you look pretty," Steve says scratching his head. I then cue Sylvia to come in. She walks down in my black dress, that comes down to right under her ass, her hair was also in messy, wild, sexy curls, she has light make-up on that make her eyes pop and dark red lipstick to match. As she walks past Dally, he smacks her ass she doesn't do anything but, turn around winking at him. I roll my eyes at how gross Dally is. Why is he even in this gang? He can go find other friends for all I care. We all walk there together, the boys and Sylvia get seated right in front in the stage while I go back stage. After about two minutes I walk out to see a huge crowd of people and a mic-stand with a mic on it. I walk over to it and loudly say, "hey guys, so I left this town, a while back because, I was in a bad place so, I ran-away from my home, my brothers, my family, and my problems. I wrote this song after waking up on a train to nowhere releasing what I have just done. I'd like to dedicate this song to my brothers Sodapop Curtis, Darrel Curtis,and Ponyboy but, also to my 'family' Two-bits Mathews, Steve Randle, and Johnny Cade. I love ya'll and I'm sorry for leaving but, I always knew one day I would come back.
Said goodbye, turned around
And you were gone, gone, gone
Faded into the setting sun,
Slipped away
But I won't cry
Cause I know I'll never be lonely
For you are the stars to me,
You are the light I follow"
I smile and cue the back round singers to sing, "I'll See you again, oh
This is not where it ends
I will carry you with me, oh
Till I see you again"
After they end I start to sing once again, "I can hear those echoes in the wind at night
Calling me back in time
Back to you
In a place far away
Where the water meets the sky
The thought of it makes me smile
You are my tomorrow"
I point back to the back round singers, "I'll See you again, oh
This is not where it ends
I will carry you with me, oh
Till I see you again"
As they stop I start up again, "Sometimes I feel my heart is breaking
But I stay strong and I hold on cause I know
I'll see you again, oh
This is not where it ends
I will carry you with me, yeah yeah."
Then it's a mix of us both singing, "I'll See you again, oh
This is not where it ends
I will carry you with me, oh
Till I see you again
Till I see you again,
Till I see you again,
Said goodbye turned around
And you were gone, gone, gone." (See you again Carrie Underwood) I look around the crowd to see everybody cheering. I wait until the cheering stops so I can say, "the next one is for this boy, that I fell in love with after years of running. He taught me what love is, what faith is, what hope is and so much more. I'll love him 'til the day I die but, I have to let him go but, this is my song for him and always will be (Crazier -Taylor Swift). I hope ya'll like it he sure did.
I've never gone with the wind,
just let it flow
it take me where it wants to go
Til you open the door, there's so much more
I've never seen it before
I was trying to fly but I couldn't find my wings
But you came along and you changed everything
You lift my feet off the ground
You spin me around
You make me crazier crazier
Feels like I'm falling and I am lost in your eyes
You make me crazier crazier crazier
I watched from a distance as you made life your own
Every sky was your own kind of blue
And I wanted to know how that would feel
And you made it so real
You showed me something that I couldn't see
You opened my eyes and you made me believe.
You lift my feet off the ground
You spin me around
You make me crazier crazier
Feels like I'm falling and I am lost in your eyes
You make me crazier crazier crazier oh
Baby you showed me what livin' is for
I don't wanna hide anymore
You lift my feet off the ground
You spin me around
You make me crazier crazier
Feels like I'm falling and I'm lost in your eyes
You make me crazier crazier crazier crazier crazier" I walked off the stage leaving the crowd cheering. I sat down by the gang smiling scooting in next to Dally he looked over to me asking, "hey can I bring you on a walk?"
"Why?" I ask back.
"I gotta talk to you," he replied coolly.
"Let's go," I reply before yelling out to the gang, "Dally and I are going on a walk see ya'll later."
"Be back by ten," Darry ordered.
"Will do," I yelled running out of the restaurant.
