Diamond's POV

I started to panic.

I was in the janitor's closet with a complete stranger. It could be the person that Sam warned me about.

The person pulled me towards them and started to run their hands up and down my thighs.

I elbowed the person in their stomach. Once they let go I stomped on their feet.

That's the good thing about having a cast. Because the cast is so thick I hurt people and not feel a thing.

"Damn princess" the person said.

The person sounds familiar. I ran my hands on the wall, looking for the light switch.

Once I founf it I flipped the switch and behold, Sam. He was kneeling with his hand clutching his stomach.

"Sam!! I'm so sorry" I said as I kneeled down next to him.

I helped him stand up seeing he couldn't move at the moment. I sat him down on a white bucket that was on the floor.

"Now I know how Ashley felt like" Sam said as he touched his toes.

"Why did you do that? You scared me!"

"I'm sorry I just wanted to be with you in a quite place. Now I know that was a bad idea"

After he sobered up he pulled me down on his lap. He started to kiss my neck as his hands ran all over my body.

I moaned in pleasure as his tongue drew circles on my collar bone. I quickly covered my mouth just in case someone was passing outside of the door.

"I haven't see you in forever" he said as he stroked my hair.

"You were sleeping with me this morning. You literally woke me up at 2 am"

Is he being foreal right now.  He's acting like we haven't talked in weeks. I've been with him everyday for the past 2 months

"I know but I had to leave" he said as he nuzzled his nose in my neck.

I was about to talk but, he started sucking on my neck. I bit my lips trying to hide my moans.

His hands ventured my body as he damaged my neck. After two minutes he pulled away and smiled at my neck.

"I think you should put your hair like this" he said as he wrapped my hair around my neck.

The bell rung signalling us to go to class. I pecked his lips and got off his lap.

I put my hair on my neck. I smoothed down my hair and clothes and walked out of the janitors closet.

It can't be that bad.

2 hours later

Boy was I wrong. Throughout the first block I was getting weird stares and whispers would always erupt when I was doing my work.

It was partly my fault though. I have this habit of putting my hair behind ny ears when I'm doing my work.

I accidently did that today and boy was I paying for that mistake.

The bell rung signalling us to go to the next period.

Today is the day. The day that Sam and I have to perform our song in front of the class.

I'm confident in what we have but, I don't do good with a lot of eyes on me. I tend to freeze up.

I slowly packed up my things and strolled through the hallway. I was in no rush.

The freshmans was tearing up the hall on the other hand. They were running past people and speed walking to their next class.

What's the rush? Their teachers aren't gonna be there on time anyways. Their just gonna stand outside of the classroom.

I took a deep breathe and walked into music class. Half of the class was already there, practicing their duets.

Sam walked towards me and kissed my cheek. He moved my hair put of the way and smiled at his work.

I rolled my eyes and put my hair back on my neck. He and I walked to our seats and started talking.

"You ready to perform?"

"Yes s s"

I stuttered. I'm pretty sure he knows I'm lying.

"Now tell me the truth"

"I'm kinda scared" I whispered.

What if I forget the words?

What if I'm pitchy?

What if I crash and burn?

What if I.....

"Baby you'll be fine. You're great."

I nodded my head and took deep breathes. When I finally calmed down Mr. Louis walked in the classroom.

I looked at Sam and he was smirking. He and Mr. Louis winked at eached.

I don't know what's happening but I don't like it one bit.

"Ok class, let's get started"

Everyone's hands were already up. He didn't even say who wants to go first, they were already hyped.

His eyes scanned the room and stopped once it landed on Sam and I.

"Why don't you guys go first"

I didn't even get a chance to say no. Britney already answered for me.

"That's not fair!! They didn't even raise their hands, I did"

I just rolled my eyes. If she wanna go first then let them go first. I don't care anyways.

Mr. Louis rolled his eyes and motioned for us to get up. I timidly got up and walked up to the front of the class.

Mr. Louis set up a stage in front of the class so it was just the two of us standing in front of a class with about 25 students watching us.

There was also instruments and microphones on the stage.

"What song will you guys be singing today?"

"Halo by Beyonce" Sam said before I could answer.

What is he talking about? We're singing say you won't let go by James Arthur.

"Ok, go ahead"

I couldn't start. I didn't practice this song, I practiced say you won't let go.

Sam walked over to the piano that was next to me and smiled.

It's a good thing I know this song because if I didn't I would have fucked Sam up.

I took a deep breathe then started singing.

Everyone around me was not here. My eyes closed and I was just in my zone. Everything around me stoped.

When I was done singing I opened my eyes. Everyone was staring at me in shock. Their mouth hung open. They didn't even blink.

Was I that bad?

After a couple of seconds everyone in the class started to applaud. A smile slowly started to spread across my face.

I guess I did okay.

"A+, both of you" Mr. Louis said as he clapped.

U nodded my head and walked off the stage. I made my way to my seat and let out a deep breathe when I sat down.

Sam sat in the seat next to me and dug in his pockets. He pulled out a little mirror bedazzled mirror.

"Good job"

"So this is why you made me do a solo. It was one way for you to break me out of my shell"

"Yup. And thanks to Mr. Louis it was possible"

I looked at Mr. Louis and he gave me a thumbs up. So that's why he and Sam exchanged looks when Mr. Louis walked in.

"Thank You"

After us was Britney and her partner. They were going to sing Halo by Beyonce also.

I could have sworn when Mr. Louis asked her last class what song they were singing she said Habits by Tov Lo.

She changed it once she saw I sung halo by Beyonce. Her partner was looking at her like she has lost her mind.

He didn't even know what keys to play on the piano. Luckily for me Sam knew.

Mr. Louis took off his hearing aids and put it in his pocket. He knows that Britney can pop his ear drums again.

She cleared her throat and started singing.

(An: the letters are uppercase and lowercase because she's off key)

"ReMeMbEr ThOsE WaLlS i BUILt WeLl BaBY ThEY'Re TuMBliNG DoWN"

The class didn't even let her finish. They started booing and screaming 'get off the stage'.

She didn't listen through. She continued singing her off beat version of Halo.

Someone from the back of the room threw a paper ball at her. She opened her eyes and before she knew it a dozens of paper balls came flying her way.

She ducked and went to hide behind her partner. Mr. Louis snickered then tried to cover it up with a cough.

He put his hearing aids back on and told the class to calm down. Once the paper balls stopped flying across the room Britney emerged from behind her partner.

"That was.... something" Mr. Louis said as he scratched his head.

"My version is just as good as Diamond's if not even better" Britney said.

The class became silent for a while. They all looked at each other and busted out laughing.

"Diamond's voice was flawless and angelic. Yours was pitchy, off key, off beat, and the melody was wrong."

Sam said. The whole class agreed with him. Even Mr. Louis who didn't hear her singing agreed.

"I could have gave you a F- but since you tried I'll give you a F+."

Mr. Louis said as he wrote down her grade. She huffed and stomped back to her seat.

That's what happen when you try to out sing someone. You crash and burn.

The rest of the class did their covers and got their grade. The bull rung minutes after the last two people finished singing.

"Diamond and Sam, can I see you guys please"

We nodded our heads and walked up to his desk.

"As you know every year I put together a talent show. You dont have to participate but, I would love it if you guys would perform"

I looked at Sam and he looked at me.

"What do you say"

I thought about it for a minute. If I do this then It could help me with my stage fright. I could also make my mom proud. She's always telling me I should put my beautiful voice to use.

But on the other hand in scared. What if I don't do good and I end up looking like a fool. I'm not a big fan of being embrassed.

"I'll do it"

Even though I'm scared I'm willing to see what will happen. I want to break out of my shell even more.

"I'll put you guys on the program"

We nodded out head and walked out of his classroom.

It's just a talent show.

What can go wrong?
