Opposite's Attract

Chapter 7

[Day Of Talent Show]

Tabby and I are in my room, trying to figure out an outfit for me to wear tonight. I'm freaking out slightly, maybe this is a bad idea? What if Camren doesn't really feel the same and I embarrass myself in front of the whole school?

I think Tabby sensed that I was freaking out and placed her hand on my shoulder, "Nor, don't freak, okay? You're gonna be amazing and look hot as hell while doing so" She says

I calm down slightly, taking a breath, "You're right—You're right" I say

"Now, let's pick you out a hot ass outfit" She tells me as she heads into my closet

After many different outfits, we finally settled on one, let's just say I do look hot. It's a tight black crop top which shows off enough cleavage and white washed ripped jeans that hug my ass perfectly. I curl my hair and part it to the side as I place my silver necklace on. I put on some silver rings as well as my silver watch. 

I look at myself in the mirror as Tabby stands behind me, "If she doesn't wanna fuck you after this, then she's the stupidest person ever" Tabby tells me

I chuckle slightly, "Thanks Tabs"

[Talent Show]

I'm backstage as I wait for my chance to go on stage. I'm shaking slightly as I hold onto my guitar, trying not to drop it. I glance out into the audience to see my family in the front row. And who happens to be sitting right next to them...yeah that would be Camren Jones. She's here, there's no turning back now.

"And up next, singing an original song...Eleanor Bishop" Principal Marshall says

I take a breath, No turning back now, here we go

I walk out on stage as everyone is clapping. I stand behind the microphone, "Hello, this song is about someone special in my life. Hopefully you all like it" I say

I take a breath before I start strumming, "Hmm...Hmm...Hmm" I hum

You know I'd fall apart without you

I don't know how you do what you do

Cause everything that don't make sense about me

Makes sense when I'm with you

Like everything that's green, girl I need you

But it's more than one and one makes two

Put aside the math and the logic of it

You gotta know you're wanted too

I look up and make eye contact with Camren as I continue singing.

Cause I wanna wrap you up

Wanna kiss your lips

I—I wanna make you feel wanted

And I wanna call you mine

Wanna hold your hand forever

And never let you forget it

Yeah, I—I wanna make you feel wanted

Well, anyone can tell you you're pretty

And you get that all the time, I know you do

But your beauty's deeper than the makeup

And I wanna show you what I see tonight

I hold eye contact with Camren, smiling slightly.

When I wrap you up

When I kiss your lips

I—I wanna make you feel wanted

And I wanna call you mine

Wanna hold your hand forever

And never let you forget it

Cause baby I—I wanna make you feel wanted

I see Camren is smiling

As good as you make me feel

I wanna make you feel better

Better than your fairy tales

Better than your best dreams

You're more than everything I need

You're all I ever wanted

All I ever wanted

And I just wanna wrap you up

Wanna kiss your lips

I—I wanna make you feel wanted

And I wanna call you mine

Wanna hold your hand forever

And never let you forget it

Yeah I—I wanna make you feel wanted

Baby I—I wanna make you feel

Wanted

I finish strumming the last cord before the crowd erupts in cheers, "That's my twin!" Lucas yells as he claps

"That's my daughter!" Mom yells

"That's my girl!" Dad yells

I smile as I hold eye contact with Camren as she claps, a wide smile on her face, "Go El!" She cheers

I smile, "Thank you" I say into the microphone

"What an amazing performance by Eleanor Bishop..." Principal Marshall says as I walk off

I tune her out as I walk backstage, taking a breath as I realize what I just did. I just confessed my feelings for Camren in a song in front of the whole school and my family. I hope she knows the song was about her.
