A Morganville Adventure

Chapter 9 - You're Famous?

*Claires POV*

That was it, my name was called. Everyone in my group turned to look at my with bright eyes. I could hear the sudden chatter from the collage students, obviously knowing my name. I took a deep, calming breath and walked quickly up to the stage. I passed a large group of collage kids on the way and one screamed "ITS REALLY HER!" Suddenly there was an uproar, everyone who went to TPU was screaming with excitement, people were running as close to the stage as they could. Everyone else was so confused. I saw Myrnin give me a very confused look as everyone screamed for me. I smiled lightly and ran to centre stage. I grabbed the mic, "Hey everyone! So some of you here tonight know me as Amelies pet Claire Danvers, some of you know me as the Glass House girl Claire Danvers, some of you as Myrnins assistant Claire Danvers, and the ones who are screaming, as the famous singer Claire Danvers. So, for anyone that doesn't know, Ive been travelling the world in the years I was gone, doing shows and tours and have somehow become extremely famous for my singing... So uh yeah! Enjoy!" I saw the shock register on everyones faces in the group I was with. I smiled brightly down at them. I had already chosen the song I wanted to preform, it was one of my own of course!

"Do you ever feel like a misfit?
Everything inside you is dark and twisted
Oh, but it's okay to be different
'Cause baby, so am I (So am I, so am I, so am I-I-I-I-I)
Can you hear the whispers all across the room?
You feel her eyes all over you like cheap perfume
You're beautiful, but misunderstood
So why you tryna be just like the neighborhood?
I can see it, I know what you're feelin'
So let me tell you 'bout my little secret
I'm a little crazy underneath this
Underneath this
Do you ever feel like a misfit?
Everything inside you is dark and twisted
Oh, but it's okay to be different
'Cause baby, so am I (So am I, so am I, so am I)
Do you ever feel like an outcast?
You don't have to fit into the format
Oh, but it's okay to be different
'Cause baby, so am I (So am I, so am I, so am I-I-I-I-I)
Oh so, dressed so fancy like Sid and Nancy (Yeah)
Walkin' Killer Queen, gotta keep 'em guessin'
So baby come pass me a lighter
We're gonna leave 'em on fire
We're the sinners and the blessings
I can see it, I know what you're feelin'
So let me tell you 'bout my little secret
I'm a little crazy underneath this
Underneath this, ooh
Do you ever feel like a misfit?
Everything inside you is dark and twisted
Oh, but it's okay to be different
'Cause baby, so am I (So am I, so am I, so am I)
Do you ever feel like an outcast?
You don't have to fit into the format
Oh, but it's okay to be different
'Cause baby, so am I (So am I, so am I, so am I-I-I-I-I)
You're king and you're queen
You're strong and you're weak
You're bound but so free
(Ah-ah-ah)
So come and join me
And call me Harley
And we'll make a scene
Do you ever feel like a misfit?
Everything inside you is dark and twisted
Oh, but it's okay to be different
'Cause baby, so am I (So am I, so am I, so am I)
Do you ever feel like an outcast?
You don't have to fit into the format
Oh, but it's okay to be different
'Cause baby, so am I (So am I, so am I, so am I-I-I-I-I)"

Everyone was screaming and cheering and begging for more, I looked over to the guy and he nodded excitedly, so I turned to all the fans, "Ok, one more song!" I chose the song and told the DJ and he played the backing music again.

"I been runnin' my mouth around the corner
Chasin' it down the street
I cash in my words like I'm a billionaire
But I don't have food to eat
And I keep talkin' like I'm taller than the trees
But my eyes never see much higher than five feet
And I keep on tellin' everyone the truth
But maybe that's not the move
And everyone wants to hear a strong opinion
If it's the same as you
And they say honesty is the best policy
If that were true, don't think all of my friends would hate me
Society is suckin' on your dick
And since I got a pussy, I'm a bitch
And since you are a dude, yeah, you can tell the truth
But as soon as I do, I'm a bitch
Society is suckin' on your dick
And since I got a pussy, I'm a bitch
And since you are a dude, yeah, you can tell the truth
But as soon as I do, I'm a bitch
There was a time, this guy, he tried to tell me
"Men can cheat, women can't"
Then he proceeded to ask me out on a date
And I fuckin' laughed
If you're a woman, you were made to pleasure me
But out in public, hide them shoulders underneath
Society is suckin' on your dick
And since I got a pussy, I'm a bitch
And since you are a dude, yeah, you can tell the truth
But as soon as I do, I'm a bitch
Society is suckin' on your dick
And since I got a pussy, I'm a bitch
And since you are a dude, yeah, you can tell the truth
But as soon as I do, I'm a bitch
I'm that motherfuckin' bitch
(If I have to be, I'ma be that bitch)
You should be suckin' on my clit
(If I have to be, I'ma be that bitch)
I said, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a bitch
(If I have to be, I'ma be that bitch)
I dare you, stop me
Society is suckin' on your dick (on your dick)
And since I got a pussy, I'm a bitch (I'm a bitch)
And since you are a dude, yeah, you can tell the truth
But as soon as I do, I'm a bitch
Society is suckin' on your dick (on your dick)
And since I got a pussy, I'm a bitch (I'm a bitch)
And since you are a dude, yeah, you can tell the truth
But as soon as I do, I'm a bitch
Watch me
(If I have to be, I'ma be that bitch)
I said, I'll be that bitch
So stop me
Well, that song's done
Song's done, you're done
Fuck! Fuck!
Oh my god! A banger!"

Everyone was screaming and cheering and trying to climb up onto the stage to see me. I smiled and came down from the stage, hugging hundreds of fans and taking selfies and signing autographs. I answered so many questions and spent at least the next 3 hours talking to fans. I loved it, the people who really enjoyed my music made all the work I put into it so completely worth it. After another hour I decided to call it a night and said goodbye too everyone and got in my car and drove home. As soon as I walked through my door I got a text from Eve telling me to come to the Glass House straight away. I listened of course and walked next door. I knocked and was brought straight into the living room where everyone was. Micheal, Eve, Richard and Hannah all sat on the sofa, Amelie sat on the chair Micheal loved. Oliver and Myrnin had dragged chairs from the dining table over to sit on. Monica and Shane were sat on cushions on the floor. And Miranda, who had let me in, went and sat on the arm of the sofa next to Eve. I felt like I was being interrogated. I grabbed a cushion and sat on the floor near Myrnin. I felt safe next to him. I then proceeded to be asked question after question after question about my fame. I answered them all and told them a-lot of funny stories too! Eve then finally asked the burning question, "How did you become famous?" I smiled as I recalled it, "It happened by accident really. I had just moved back to Michigan and was living with my parents. I was sat in my room doing some sciencey stuff and singing to myself, I got really into the song and started to really sing it. I had no idea my mum was recording me the whole time. She then posted it online and it blew up. Her friends shared it, then their friends shared it, and so on. Soon everyone wanted to know who I was, I was called onto a bunch of talk shows and was asked to preform a bunch of different songs and I did. Then I got a call from a really big agency, they had worked with Lady Gaga! And immediately I accepted it, soon I was working on my own songs, the first one I ever wrote went straight to the top of the charts. Since then I became more and more popular and somehow became seriously famous. Its insane how one video spiralled and now when I go out in public I get swarmed by paparazzi."

Everyone was stunned. We all talked a load more and I was super happy that no one suddenly changed how they were around me just because I was famous.  I still had to work out how to be able to live my life normally when now all the collage kids would know me. I decided on just going to the collage and talking to everyone and explaining that I want to keep my location lowkey and people to leave me alone in the streets. Ill see what happens! Either way I was so happy to have told everyone about this. As the night drew nearer and nearer everyone decided to head home, as did I. I was tired after today. I got home and took off all my makeup, changed into fluffy white sleep shorts and a oversized T-shirt and climbed into bed. I put my phone on charge on my night stand and let myself close my eyes. My phone pinged with a notification, I picked it up and read the text from Myrnin,

"It was lovely seeing you today fy annwyl, your voice is beautiful"

My heart beat faster in my chest and I smiled brightly, he was so sweet. I soon drifted off into a peaceful sleep, thinking of all my incredible friends back here, at home.
