I don't know why, but the first place I drove to was the hospital. Don't ask me why… I just did.
I walked inside to notice a familiar girl in a wheelchair. She listened to audio on her headphones, but took them off once she saw my figure approaching.
"Jade?" I asked.
"Oh. Ray. How are you?"
"Can I talk to you?"
"Why not? Sure."
I sat down in the seat across from Jade and placed my purse on the ground beside it.
"See, I have this issue…"
"Boy issue, huh?"
"How'd you know?"
"I can sense it in you."
I chuckled. "I was singing and then Mitch walked in on me. I told him that Carter said that he wasn't supposed to hear me until the performance tomorrow. But I have to admit… Carter is my friend… but I haven't known her as long as Mitch…"
"You sing?"
"Yeah. I'm performing Radioactive for the talent show this weekend."
"Do you like that song?"
"It's okay… she likes it more for the violin part."
"What about Mitch? Does he like it?"
"I don't know… He thinks I'm different than when we were in high school."
"Do you feel that you've changed?"
"Well… a bit…"
"How?"
"He said that I'm more independent…"
"He feels that you'll leave him."
"What?"
"You're so determined for yourself that Mitch is afraid that you'll leave him. Maybe if you show him that you still love him, he won't bother you about it."
"I never thought about it that way…"
"Choose a song that you like. Not Carter. You're singing, aren't you?"
"I guess…"
"I have a few suggestions, if you would like to hear."
"Sure. I would love to, Jade."

The next day, all of the groups were practicing their acts for the show. I arrived, Carter by my side. She picked out a punk-rock outfit for me to wear while I sang Radioactive, but I had others plans.
Looking around at all of the other contestants, I caught my eye on Ashley. She had a sign next to her, Megan, and Brooke that read "Too Cool for You." Ashley wore a sparkly silver dress while Megan and Brooke wore sparkly gold dresses. She commanded the girls to snap their fingers as she sang. Controlling much?
I spotted Allison, Lexi, Kae, and Emma. While Allison held the main microphone, she, unlike Ashley, allowed Lexi and Kae to dance and do a little more action while she sang. Emma softly played the flute while they sang.
A few other groups, such as Draco and Avery; Melody and a boy with brown hair, blue eyes, and wore a black sweatshirt and jeans, red sneakers and a black hat; and two guys: one with purple eyes, short dirty blonde hair, a long scar going down the side of his face, a black and purple hoodie, jeans, and silver nikes; the other with blonde hair, blue eyes, an orange t shirt with with a blue and black checkered jacket, black bluish jeans, along with blue converse. The last person I saw was Jade. I walked over to her and tapped her shoulder.
"You're performing?" I questioned.
"Yeah. Sucks being in a wheelchair, but I love to sing. Don't Stop Me Now. Hehe," Jade replied, smirking. Since she was on first, she wheeled herself onto the stage, and had someone pull out an electric keyboard attached to a microphone. She slid up to the keyboard and begun her song.
"Tonight I'm gonna have myself a real good time
I feel alive and the world it's turning inside out Yeah!
I'm floating around in ecstasy
So don't stop me now don't stop me
'Cause I'm having a good time having a good time
I'm a shooting star leaping through the skies
Like a tiger defying the laws of gravity
I'm a racing car passing by like Lady Godiva
I'm gonna go go go
There's no stopping me
I'm burning through the sky yeah!
Two hundred degrees
That's why they call me Mister Fahrenheit
I'm trav'ling at the speed of light
I wanna make a supersonic man out of you
Don't stop me now

I'm having a ball
Don't stop me now
If you wanna have a good time
Just give me a call
Don't stop me now ('cause I'm having a good time)
Don't stop me now (yes I'm having a good time)
I don't want to stop at all... yeah!
I'm a rocket ship on my way to Mars
On a collision course
I am a satellite I'm out of control
I am a sex machine ready to reload
Like an atom bomb about to
Oh oh oh oh oh explode
I'm burning through the sky Yeah!
Two hundred degrees
That's why they call me Mister Fahrenheit
I'm trav'ling at the speed of light
I wanna make a supersonic woman of you
Don't stop me
Don't stop me
Don't stop me
Hey hey hey!
Don't stop me
Don't stop me
Ooh ooh ooh (I like it)
Don't stop me
Don't stop me
Have a good time, good time
Don't stop me
Don't stop me
Ooh ooh alright
Ooh I'm burning through the sky yeah!
Two hundred degrees
That's why they call me Mister Fahrenheit
I'm trav'ling at the speed of light
I wanna make a supersonic man out of you
Don't stop me now
I'm having such a good time
I'm having a ball
Don't stop me now
If you wanna have a good time
Just give me a call
Don't stop me now ('cause I'm having a good time)
Don't stop me now (yes I'm having a good time)
I don't wanna stop at all."
We all cheered when Jade rolled backstage. She bowed as best as she could. I smiled and patted her on the back.
"Who's next?" she queried.
