Chapter 30

Violet pulls me into the music room. The teacher looks very lively and when she saw me, I smiled. She had a long conversation with us which ended up with is knowing that I was a part of auditions that would take place in our first lesson of Music.

My form room was also with everyone in my music class in the music room so that was convenient. Me and my 'squad' sat at the back talking as the other class mates began to enter. Jayden gave me a piece of gum as Seth came in and took his seat in the row in front, "Where'd you go babe?"

I feel myself blush, "I found these girls."

"You could have told me," Seth says.

I just shrug as I answer my name in the register.

Seth went back to talking to his group as miss at the front carried on with the register before making the ones who wanted to audition for band come to the front of the class where there was a raised platform. I walked towards the front and saw a more girly-girl head there too. She smiled sourly at me so I shrugged it off.

Miss questioned us both. Turns out the girl was called Jenny and she could only sing where as I could also play the guitar.

We had to sing a song in front of the whole class. I watched as Jenny began to moan how it was 'embarrassing'.

"You know, I can go first if you want..." I offer.

"No no, newbie, I'll go first," Jenny snaps, pushing me out the way to sing.

Jenny had a good voice, but it obviously wasn't practiced enough. I could see people in the audience straining to keep a smile on their face. I felt my phone buzz and I looked at the text.

From; Seth ❤️
You have no competition xx

I look up and smile at Seth as Jenny finishes her song. Jenny's group clap whilst the other's just clap to be polite.

"Ok, Hayley Deyes, your turn."

I smile and go to the front. I had told miss what song I was singing; Youth by Troye Sivan. I knew next I wanted to sing my own song, if I had time though.

I take a deep breathe before I begin;
"What if
What if we run away
What if
What if we left today
What if
We said goodbye to safe and sound
What if
What if we're hard to find
What if
What if we lost our minds
What if
We let them fall behind, and they're never found

"And when the lights start flashing like a photo booth
And the stars exploding
We'll be fireproof

"My youth
My youth is yours
Trippin' on skies, sippin' waterfalls
My youth
My youth is yours
Run away now and forevermore
My youth
My youth is yours
The truth so loud you can't ignore
My youth, my youth, my youth
My youth is yours

"What if
What if we start to drive
What if
What if we close our eyes
What if
We're speeding through red lights into paradise
'Cause we've no time for getting old
Mortal bodies, timeless souls
Cross your fingers, here we go
Oh, oh, oh

"And when the lights start flashing like a photo booth
And the stars exploding
We'll be fireproof

"My youth
My youth is yours
Trippin' on skies, sippin' waterfalls
My youth
My youth is yours
Run away now and forevermore
My youth
My youth is yours
The truth so loud you can't ignore
My youth, my youth, my youth
My youth is yours
My youth is yours
