*Sigh* Today's the last day of holidays, I'll be going to school tomorrow, and hence will probably post a few chapters per week at most.. Really sry ...

Also, I think I'm done with the Joel and Lizzie not together thing. I'ma try to slowly bring them together starting from this chapter, though I want to make it as gradual as possible... Enjoy :)

Joel's POV:

I wake up to Oli. He keeps pushing and shaking me in bed.

Oli: Joel, the Annual Dinner Performance is next week!! We haven't rehearsed in a long time already!!!

Joel: Wait it's next week??

*Flashback

After what seems like an eternity, we're done shopping, and we take a bus back to Boarding School. As we enter the gate, we notice something new on the notice board. Oli and I go forward to see what it is.

Oli: Are you thinking what I'm thinking Joel?

Joel: Maybe, what are you thinking?

Oli: We should sign up to this.

Joel: Yea ok.. but we should find other people to join us first.

Oli: Who do you have in mind?

Joel: Callum seems like a good choice, he knows how to play guitar. Ooh, and Lizzie! She can sing.

Oli: Let's find Callum then, I think we should focus on instrumentals, we don't need a singer, Joel..

Joel: Fine, Oli..

*End of flashback

Oli waves the poster in front of me... I snatch it from his hands, and read the information myself, mainly cause I can't see when he waves it around like that. And OMG, it's next Saturday, we have exactly one week to rehearse!! 

AHHHHH!!! How did I forget that?!?! I must have been so immersed in the go kart that I totally forgot about the performance. I turn to Oli...

Joel: So when do you wanna rehearse??

Oli: When are you free?

Joel: Well, anytime..

Oli: Okayy, then I'll ask Callum..

Oli takes his phone and dials Callum's number. It rings three times before he picks up.

Oli: Hi Callum.

Callum: Sup there..

Oli: You see, the Annual Dinner Performance is coming up in a week, and we need to rehearse..

Callum: So when you wanna rehearse?

Oli: When are you free?

Callum: Anytime!

Oli: So I suppose we can meet at the music room in one hour?

Joel and Callum: Okayy!!

Callum: Oh hi Joel, see you in an hour!

Everyone: Byee...

In an hour, we gather at the music room, Oli and Callum carrying their instruments.

Oli: Recap, the songs are What I've Done and Dreaming Alone, okayy? 

Callum and I nod in agreement.

Oli: Let's rock!!

If you wanna have a mini karaoke session, here you go :) but i doubt anyone would sing tho haha

In this farewell
There's no blood, there's no alibi
'Cause I've drawn regret
From the truth of a thousand lies
So let mercy come and wash away
What I've doneI'll face myself to cross out what I've become
Erase myself
And let go of what I've donePut to rest what you thought of me
While I clean this slate
With the hands of uncertainty
So let mercy come and wash away
What I've doneI'll face myself to cross out what I've become
Erase myself
And let go of what I've doneFor what I've done
I start again
And whatever pain may come
Today this ends
I'm forgiving what I've doneI'll face myself to cross out what I've become
Erase myself
And let go of what I've doneWhat I've done
(Na na na, na na na, na na na, na na na)
Forgiving what I've done
(Na na na, na na na, na na na, na na na, na na na)
(Na na na na)


The story starts laying in the dark with someone new
I'm feeling tired from all the time I spent on you
But I know I'm strong from all the trouble I've been through
The story starts where the story falls apart with youDon't lie, bright eyes
Is it me that you see when you fall asleep?
'Cause I know it's you I dream about every night
Giving me a feeling like
Love in the summer
Way I've never felt with another
Don't lie, bright eyes
Is it me that you see?
Tell me I'm not dreaming aloneThe story starts lying in the dark broken and bruised
I count the scars left in my heart from losing you
And I was wrong but let's be honest you were too
I miss the part where I was falling hard for youSo don't lie, bright eyes
Is it me that you see when you fall asleep?
'Cause I know it's you I dream about every night
Giving me this feeling like
Love in the summer
Way I've never felt with another
Don't lie, bright eyes
Is it me that you see?
Tell me I'm not dreaming aloneI can't take back the things I said
And I won't say that I regret
Any day that I was yoursDon't lie, bright eyes
I know it's me that you see when you fall asleep
And you know it's you I dream about every night
Giving me this feeling like
Love in the summer
Way I've never felt with any other
Don't lie, bright eyes
It'll always be you and me, so why are we dreaming alone?
It'll always be you and me, so why are we dreaming alone?


yayt the lyrics contribute to the word count this might seem like a long chapter but its mainly the lyrics haha

We practise for two hours, and in the end we give ourselves a pat on the back. Well, this rehearsal session is quite effective, and we think we are pretty much ready for the Annual Dinner already, though it might be a good idea to rehearse a few more times, just to make sure we don't make any mistakes....

We leave the music room, feeling accomplished..
