My Night With Your Nephew
Chapter 4---I need to talk to you
I looked at him weird.
Then he got up and went across the room to the restroom. I thought about what he said, did he really mean anything by it? Or was it just the Armstrong trait? Cheeky.
After a while me and Dezi decided we wanted to do karaoke, especially seeing how much fun the guys had when they were up.
"What song are we gonna sing?"I asked her.
"I don't know, let's just look through the book or something when we go up there."Dezi said, leading me to the dj's stand.
We chose Girl Next Door by Saving Jane.
We walked back to our seats and waited for our names to be called.
"Maybe you should sing a love song, like Only Of You."Dezi told me.
"Why?"I asked.
"To get Jae's attention, you obviously like him a lot and if you just find a way to tell him you'll feel a lot better. Trust me, he'll think the same way about you."She said.
"Yeah, whatever. I want to have fun tonight, not make an idiot in front of everyone."I told her."And besides, I doubt he'll feel the same way. I mean come on, all the other ones haven't, why should he?"
"He's different."She said.
What does she know, I thought. Obviously something more I don't.
"Okay, I guess I will, but no one knows it's for him. Okay?""I said.
"Yes."She said.
"And if we could have our next contestants come up."The announcer said."Are Deziraye Rhodes and Katie Parker here?"
We got up and took the microphones. Then we started singing:
" Small town homecoming queen
She’s a star in this scene
There’s no way to deny she’s lovely
Perfect skin, perfect hair
Perfumed hearts everywhere
Tell myself that inside she’s ugly
Maybe I’m just jealous-I can’t help but hate her
Secretly I wonder if my boyfriend wants to date her"
I was having fun and looked out at everybody. They seemed to be enjoying it as much as we were.
"She is the prom queen, I’m in the marching band
She is a cheerleader, I’m sitting in the stands
She gets the top bunk, I’m sleeping on the floor
She’s Miss America
And I’m just the girl next door
Senior class president
She must be heaven sent
She was never the last one standing
A backseat debutante
Everything that you want
Never too harsh or too demanding
Maybe I’ll admit it, I’m a little bitter
Everybody loves her, but I just wanna hit her…
She is the prom queen, I’m in the marching band
She is a cheerleader, I’m sitting in the stands
She gets the top bunk, I’m sleeping on the floor
She’s Miss America
And I’m just the girl next door
I don’t know why I’m feeling sorry for myself
Spend all my time wishing that I was someone else
Chorus
I get a little bit, she gets a little more
She’s Miss America
And I’m just the girl next door"
We finished and sat down. A little later I went and signed my name again. This time I wanted to sing my favorite song in the whole world since I was 12. Only Of You.
The dj called my name again and I walked up to the stand again. I started singing:
"I wish I could tell you
But the words would come out wrong
Oh if you only knew
The way I felt for so long
I know that we're worlds apart
But I just don't seem to care
These feelings in my heart
Only with you I want to share"
I looked out in the crowd again, feeling a different feeling swoop over my body as I noticed Jae was there this time, watching me. I started freaking out a little, but felt comfortable all at the same time.
"The first time I caught a glimpse of you
Then my thoughts were only of you
I hope that when time goes by
You will think the same about me
Many nights awake I lie
I only wish that you could see
I know that we're only friends
I hope this feeling never ends
If I could only hold you
It's the only thing I want to do.
The first time I caught a glimpse of you
Then my thoughts were only of you"
I finished and went back to the table. When I got there I couldn't help but notice Jae staring at me.
"I'm hungry."Dezi said, all of a sudden out of the blue.
"Me too.Let's go find something to eat."Joey told her getting up.
They left us there alone, Jae and I.
I looked up at him and saw his eyes never changed from the different shade they had turned earlier.
"I need to talk to you."He said."Can we go outside?"
"Sure."I said, getting up and following him. Where did all those butterflies come from?
Then he got up and went across the room to the restroom. I thought about what he said, did he really mean anything by it? Or was it just the Armstrong trait? Cheeky.
