Chapter 14-Battle of the Bands

The next morning i was lying on my bed when...someone threw a pillow at me!"Chris!wake up!"i saw Joy in her School Uniform.."what?"i said.."LOOK AT THE TIME!!!ITS ALREADY 6:30!!!!!!"she shout at me..while i lazily looked at the time.."oh....cool..."......battle...of the bands....BATTLE OF THE BANDS!!"Ahh!!im late for the semi finals!!"i rushed to the bathroom and then...finished..and then..."Joy get out of the room first!"i said to her while she leave my room and i locked the door..and then...Finished!at exactly 6:40 i finished ...without eating!"come on!"i said to Joy while we hurried to School...we just left our bag at the classroom and went to the Valleyview Stage.."Just in time Quantum!"Jay said while we high five!.."The Theme is love song right?do you memorized Out of my League?"Jay asked..."yes!..but do you know what Todd's band will sing Today?"i asked..While Jay was arranging his guitar tunes"No control.."really..."And i guess they are starting already!"..at the chorus..

Waking up Beside you

I'm a loaded gun

I can't contain this anymore

I'm all yours, I got no control, no control

Powerless

And I don't care it's obvious

I just can't get enough of you

The pedal's down, my eyes are closed

No control

I heard a loud applause after the performance.."their band was Good.."Jay said.."next!!Christopher Quantum and his band!"we went up the stage and from the backstage i saw Joy...beside her was Todd.."okay..what will you play?"The Judges asked.."Out of my League.."i said in the microphone..they looked at us and said.."well then...start!"as we start the song..Todd is looking at us very angry..

it's her hair and her eyes today

that just simply take me away

and the feeling that i'm falling further in love

makes me shiver but in a good way

all the times i have sat and stared

as she thoughtfully thumbs through her hair

and she purses her lips, bats her eyes as she plays,

with me sitting there slack-jawed and nothing to say

coz i love her with all that i am

and my voice shakes along with my hands

coz she's all that I see and she's all that I need

and i'm out of my league once again

After the whole singing part the next band takes its part...with the song Still into you since their Vocalist is a girl...gosh...i looked back on where Joy was standing..but i don't see her anymore..only Todd with a scary looking face.."Uhmm..Todd..where's Joy?"i asked him while he looked at me for just a second.."nah..she went outside.."i went outside to look for her...and then..i heard some singing...just near me..."You will lift my head above the mighty waves.."that voice is so familiar!..."You are able to keep me for stumbling.."...i looked at my side and saw Joy...she's doing something on her locker.."hey Joy wh..."she's still singing..."And in my weakness,you are the strength that comes from within..Good Shepherd of my soul...Take my hand and lead me on..."..she looked at me and said.."y...you heard me?"she asked.."-.-...its so obvious Joy,..so obvious..your singing loud!"she blushed and looked embarrassed when i said those words.."well i just wanted to sing because i can see that everyone is singing in here..so..why don't i?"she smiled at me for a second..Suddenly someone bumped me..and another...Its...Angelo and Todd!!they're friends already?"Whats wrong?"Joy asked..."well i saw Todd and Angelo...grr!i think they are getting along!"Joy looked at me angrily.."Chris!forget the fighting again.."i looked down...a little while someone poked me from the back...when i turned back...oops..."Well not too close Quantum -.-"Its Janice!..."what are you doing here?"I asked.."huh what am i doing here?come on dont you remember?im the one who told Jay you were asleep at the gym...gosh..."as she was parting her hair..."Hey Janice!"Joy called.."yeah?"..."are you the Leader of the Girls leadership club?"...she smiled at Joy.."yeah why?"..."c..can i Join?"Janice seems unpleased..."Well..if someone recommend you...you can be...so just hope for the best girl!bye!"she said as she walked away..."Wow she really can be a little strict...right Joy...Joy?"she froze in her position again..."hey Joy who ..."oh no...oh no...oh no..."Run!!"i pulled her hand.."why did that guy followed us up to here?!?"...she remained quiet..."wait..i remember...He is at Grade 8 here at valleyview..."she looked back..."Chris..lets stop...i think he cant do something here..besides theres alot of people...so just forget it...hey Chris,.its already time for the announcement of Winners."oh gosh..i forgot.."okay..,but stay close!"..."come on Chris ..nothing will happen.."as we walk back to the stage..."Chris we passed..but,....Todd won the first place for now..."Jay said..."well at least we can still compete...Lets do our best at the Grand finals!"..."The theme is...anything!"anything..."alright!what song?"I asked...while Jay give me a paper.."Shepherd?"..."yeah...look at the lyrics!"as i looked at the lyrics...ah!!
