Chapter 60: Zak's Realization

I walked along with Cheryl and Diana as they continued pulling me along, up to the DJ booth where Billy was.

"Hello ladies and birthday girl!" Billy exclaimed with a smile, pushing the headphones off his ears. "What can I do for you?" Billy added.

"We want to sing!" Cheryl replied excitedly.

"I'd like for it to be noted that I'm being forced," I grumbled.

The three of them laughed.

"No problem, here's the song list I have," Billy said, stepping into the booth a bit further, letting Cheryl and Diana look at a screen showcasing a list of songs he had available.

I folded my arms across my chest and just stood there, acting annoyed still. I could of easily gotten out of this if I really wanted to. Cheryl knew, at least at most times, when I was dead serious about not going along with something. But the truth was, I found myself wanting to do this for Zak, regardless if he was serious about his supposed birthday gift or not.

Damn him, I thought.

He really was starting to affect who I was as a person, but in a good way though, I had to admit. Even though I often blushed and became embarrassed around him, I also felt more confident in myself when he was around, because I knew he saw more in me than I saw of myself.

"Oh, how about this one! Perfect for her and Zak," Diana said, pointing at the screen.

Cheryl's eyes widened and laughed.

"I like how you think girlfriend," Cheryl replied, then looked at Billy. "This one," she added.

"Hey! Wait a minute! What song are you picking!?" I questioned, trying to push past them to look at the screen, but Cheryl stopped me.

"Don't worry, you know it," Cheryl said, grabbing onto me and pulling me toward the stage.

"And you're singing as the main, Cheryl and I will be backup," Diana said with a smile, also ushering me toward the stage.

I heard the crowd suddenly cheering as Billy introduced us, and announced the song we were doing.

"Ain't No Other Man" by Christina Aguilera.

Oh no...I thought, horrified, as Cheryl and Diana pulled me on stage with them, and we were handed microphones by some stage men.

Zak's Point of View

"Oh god, she's going to kill them," Ashley said, laughing, after Billy introduced the three girls, and what song they were doing.

I wasn't familiar with the song choice - since it wasn't my style of music - but judging by the title of the song, I could imagine what it was about.

"Video time!" Aaron exclaimed, taking out his phone and setting it up to record.

I laughed.

"You'll send me a copy right bro?" I asked.

I would rather focus on the live act than having to worry about a phone.

"Sure thing bro," Aaron replied with a grin.

I smiled and turned back around, as Alicia, Cheryl and Diana took centre stage.

Alicia's Point of View

"I'm going to brutally murder the both of you!" I hissed through my teeth, as the three of us walked to centre stage.
