second one for today =]
i stayed home from school just to post these lol. not really but it sounds good. next part slash chapter slash whatever you want to call it.
enjoyyyy
---If You Relax, Something Might Last---
last class of the day. Biology. call me nerdy but i actually like bio. Its really interesting. besides the 'how this earth came to be' stuff. i dont like having my religion challenged.
I said good bye [aka cheek kiss thing eww] to all my friend besides Al, we dont do the cheek kiss mumbo jumbo. we just hug. Matty was playing with my hand and twisting around my fingers. hes pretty cute.
"Lucy-lu do you want a lift?" i saw teddy walking over to me out of the corner of my eye.
"Nah, im right. Im going to walk home. I hope thats alright." please dont come over while im talking to matt. please dont come up while im talking to matt.
"Bub, you live like.. its going to take you about 20 minutes to walk home, why dont you just let me take you."
I kissed matt on the cheek "mwa. I'll be fiine. Im a bit girl. I can carry my own folder and everything. I'll talk to you tonite, K?"
"mmmk, call me if you need me to pick you up" matt shouted to me once id already started walking.
enter the trouble maker, stage left.
"Hey.. mind if i walk with you? Kira has piano so im kind of stuck for company" Teddy scratched his head and flicked his hair out of his eyes.
I shrugged my sholders and smiled a little. "Sure why not... but you. um. Teddy theres a bus that goes straight past your street" i knew this because a friend from primary lived two streets away from where he lived.
"Yeh, I know. but you also got offered a lift. so whats your excuse" he had an answer for everything didnt he.
"Touche" i softly banged his shoulder with mine and we walked in silence for a little while.
"So ummm. when do i get to hear this awesome voice of yours" Teddy smirked and walked in front of me.
"You dont give up do you. How about.. on the day we perform. I'll practice and then we'll put it together on the day" it sounded good in my head...
"Im very sorry Lucy but thats the worst idea ive ever heard. That just wont do. Tomorrow arvo, come around mine and we can figure out a song and start practicing." he insisted. and i wasnt even going to try and refuse.
"Fine, fine. tomorrow your house it is" we walked to the top of my street and stopped. "well tiger this is me, see you tomorrow. do i need to bring anything for tomorrow arvo?"
"No, just yourself. and your voice. im thinking that would do." Teddy smiled and flicked his hair out of his eyes.
I playfully punched his shoulder and turned to walk the other way.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I keep a diary. I have since i was about 12. Its really good. you should seriously think about doing it.
I write what im scared about. what my thoughts are. and the list.
i looked at the list. Ive already started loving Ginger more, and tomorrow i will be singing in front of an audience. i suppose one person isnt much of an audience but thats ok. there were no rules to this list. just what was on the paper.
tonights entry: scared for tomorrow. scared of how i feel. scared for myself. and for matt. scared of letting the real me out. scared of being scared.

Hii guys. sorry i havnt updated in a day or so. hope you enjoy this one. not sure where its heading but we'll know by the end of the chapter wontwe. happi reading!!
--- If You Relax, Something Might Last---
So ive decided. that. im really really nervous about today!!!
i got up this morning. straightened my hair and put on a summer dress with leggings and walked out the door with my folder and bag.
I missed breakfast because i was so nervous. and i still had to wait seven hours until i had to sing for.... the boy. I caught the bus from the top of my street and sat next to Alex, we spoke about tom, and hair and the weekend. i enjoyed taking my mind off the dreaded moment where i shame myself in front of my... well i dontknow what he is. to everone else hes my friend. but is he... is he something else to me. nope. i wont go there.. thats way too complicated.
First up. English. With teddy. dammit.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"You straightened your hair, i liked it better curly" teddy seemed tired and his voice was croaky.
"Well good morning to you too!" i smiled and met him at the top of the stairs for english. He held the door open for me as we walked in.
"Im sorry, i stayed up late last night... good morning Lucy how are you on this lovely day" he spoke in a posh british accent.
"Geiger... dont ever do that again" I sat in the row behind him waiting for my friends. "If your really tired we can skip this arvo if you want... you know. so you can get some rest or something" i smiled and hoped for a good response.
"Dont even think about that.. you said. so its happening. I'll meet you at the front gate this arvo when the bell rings. promise?" he whispered as the teacher walked in.
The teacher got us started on work. So i threw him a not saying 'promise'
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"GUESSS WHAAATTT!!!!" Alex came running up to me at lunchtime.
"um... John mayer asked me to go backstage, ashley olsen is going to share her hair secrets, nicole richie ate something?" i had fun making up scenarios.
"Ha ha. very funny. no! Tom asked me out eeeep. saturday night. thats tomorrow night! thats tomorrow!!!" she was so excited. we hugged and ran outside to the tables to talk about her exciting outing.
We decided that she would borrow my red tee that had 'She' written in beautiful writing, a white cardi and cute denim shorts. veery nice. Alex and i have similar body shapes, so we share clothes all the time.
I promised to go over to hers before she went to curl her hair.
Its funny, the whole time that Alex was talking to me about Tom and what they were doing and when he asked and rah rah rah. I was thinking about this afternoon. why. why why why why why. dear reader: if you have the answer please post to Lucy Anderson's address.
"Im terribly sorry young lady but im going to have to steal this princess away for a second or too" matts hands came down softly on my shoulders to wake me from my pondering.
I smiled and stood up kissing my fingers and putting it against Alex's head. "We'll discuss this down to the minor details later tonight"
Matt and I walked to sit on a set on chairs a little away from everyone else. We sat next to each other and he took my hands in his and kissed them like a true prince.
"You, my darling... are like my very own mystery, i can never find you. Where do you run away too.. but more importantly where are you running off to this arfternoon?" he must have rehursed that.
"Well actually... i kind of have a thing that i have to go to. its for music. im not sure how long it will take. but.. lets do something umm. saturday night maybe?" i was sorry. i felt bad for him.
"Thats fine, i might do something with the guys tonight then. Lucy..." his eyes were clear and it seemed like he had something to say. But i didnt want to hear it, not now.
I put my legs over his lap on the chair and played with his hands. He was bigger than me, and i fit into his shape perfectly. "You, matthew Hatton know exactly how to make me smile" i said with a straight face looking up at him.
"I wish i knew the way into you my lucy, you really are my biggest mystery"
we sat there for a little while in silence, and im unsure whether it was comfortable or awkward. The bell rang and i swung my legs off him and he walked me back to my bag and folder.
I felt bad for him.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.59 and 56 seconds 2.59 and 57 seconds 2.59 and 58 seconds 2.59 and 59 seconds.
3 o clock
that means tiger time.
I walked to the gate and waited for teddy. everyone else had left and i was wondering if he was going to show. i started walking out of the school when i heard someone running behind me. I knew it was him.
"So.. im really really... sorry about being... late. i just had to get.... my guitar.. and say goodbye to Kira...." he spoke between puffs and i smiled a little. When i turned to face him he didnt seem too happy.
"You okay tiger? you look like.. something... just. ummmm" i got the hint he didnt really want to talk.
I spoke quietly this time as we walked towards his car "do you wanna talk about it? i know we've only been friends a little while, but.. im here for you if you need me" i hoped that it sounded sincere, because i did have something for him. whether it was friends or.. more than.. no.
"She has been seeing someone else, for two months. two whole fricken months." his voice went quiet and he pulled out his keys. He unlocked the car and opened my door for me. even when he was feeling crap he was a gentlemen.
"Im so sorry teddy, are you sure you want to have me over this arvo? i dont want to be a burden to you.. you may just want to be by yourself right now.. im not really sure how you feel" i felt awful for him. i didnt expect that at all. they seemed so 'together'.
"What annoys me most, is that, she didnt just tell me. She atleast could have told me. 'Teddy, i dont like you anymore, im sorry' see, not that hard" he started the car and we drove a little faster than speed limit.
"So she doesnt like me anymore, thats cool, shes not my person. everyone has a person and im not hers. but she didnt have to lie to me." he was getting angry now, he flicked his hair out of his eyes and we drove in silence for a little while.
We got to his house and sat in the car in silence. I thought it was my turn to break the silence.
"Teddy, i know there isnt alot that i can say right now that can ease any pain. but i think your an amazing guy, and if Kira couldnt see that, shes blind to anything good in her life. Do you wanna go in" i put my hand on his and smiled a little. i felt really bad for him.. i could tell how much he liked her.
He nodded and we got out of the car and walked up to his front door.
"Lucy... do you think matt is your person?" why ask that. why.
"I dont know Teddy, i want it to be a surprise." with that he opened the door and we walked downstairs to his basement.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I sat down on the lounge that he had down there and crossed my legs up. Teddy stood not really knowing what to do with himself.
It was amazing down here. a musician could almost call it beautiful. He had an electrical piano, drum pads, a base and 3 guitars. There was a recording stuff, heaps of chords and headphones, a mac laptop and a few cans of red bull. and the vintage looking lounge i had sat myself on.
I patted the lounge for him to sit down next to me. He sat and let out a huge sigh. I smiled at him a little and we just sat there looking at each other for a good 5 minutes.
"Thats it i cant play this game any longer" i got up and moved over to the piano.
I cleared my throat and gave a cheeky look. "Now future american idol, if you promise not to laugh i shall serenade your problems away."
I sat there for a second and thought of what to play. something good. but not pathetic. i cracked my fingers and put my hands on the keys. im pretty sure i was starting to go red by now. but i couldnt think of what to ply. i didnt want to play something about love or anything. it wasnt really the right time.
I stood up. picked up teddys guitar. turned it around because im left handed and strummed between C and G chords. Í started singing a slow version of mmmbop by hanson.
"Theres so many relationships in this life, but only one or two will last. your going through all this pain and strife, turn your back and they're gone so fast. oh yeah. they're gone too fast, yea-eah
So hold on to the ones of any care, cause in the end they'll be the only ones there, when you get old you start losing your hair, can you tell me who will still care can you tell me whol will still care oh, oh yeah
i started to loosen up a bit, i was really enjoying it. i had hit the higher notes without cracking and my strumming was becoming stronger.
mmmmbop da ba doobop do be da ba doo wup da ba doo-ooo yea-eah mmmmbop da ba doobop do be da ba doo wup da ba doo-ooo yea-eah
i added in my own part during one of the choruses and sung the last chorus acapella tapping the pic on the body of the guitar.
doo wup da ba doo-ooo yea-eahhh
I looked up at teddy and he was just sitting there. i put his gutiar down and stood up feeling a little awkward.
"Say something" i sat on the lounge next to him waiting for him to speak.
his voice was a little crackly from not speaking for so long. "uuh... wow. your. that was. wow" he smiled and tucked my hair behind my ear. I blushed and smiled a little.
"What you expected?" i already knew the answer the that. He moved back to where he was sitting.
"No. not at all. but its beautiful. your voice is beautiful... but we really need to get you a left handed guitar" he laughed.
"mmm agreed." i checked the time. it was getting late. but i didnt mind.
"So how are you feeling.. i know you may not want to talk about it but... yeh" it was worth a try.
"Im ok. im glad your here though." he spoke quietly and flicked his hair out of his eyes.
I moved over to him and gave him a hug. He must have been pretty upset cause it lasted a while. but it wasnt at all awkward.
"Thanks lula.. thats my new nickname for you." he smiled.
"the adventures of tiger and lula, i like it" i laughed and sighed. "I should probably get going, but i'll give you my number so if you need to talk you can just call ok?'
He pulled out his phone and i put my details in under lula. We walked back upstairs and he drove me to my house.
"This is me, ok so tomorrow will suck, i mean first time seeing her. but you'll be ok. we'll get through this tiger." i leaned over and gave him a huge before getting out.
he waited till i had gone inside and then he drove off.
i didnt want to like him. i really didnt. but i knew i was starting to

---If You Relax, Something Might Last---
It was 12.43. sunday night / monday morning. my phone buzzed. i picked it up and looked at the screen. 1 new msg. from: tiger.
read: hey lula can i call you?
reply: morning tiger, of course.
i grabbed my doona and care bear, shut my door and sat on my window seat with my phone.
It rings.
"Hey teddy, what are you doing?"
"Oh just baking some cookies you know.. nah. i couldnt sleep. i was thinking about Kira. Today is going to suck lula, what do i do when i see her?" he sounded worried.
"Dude, you've done nothing wrong, you have nothing to be ashamed of. Your the good guy. Kira is the one who should be worried." he really was a good guy.
"mmm. i spose. but im in heaps of her classes. and i normally sit next to her"
"uhuh. yes. and im in most of your classes too. introducing your new class buddy - Lucy Anderson" hehe i hope that made him smile.
"thanks lu. can i.. umm. actually dont worry" he stumbled
"say it boy"
"can i take you to school tomorrow, you know so we can go in together... i know she cant eat me or anything but... you know" naawww hes so adorable.
"of course you can. id love to accompany you to a day filled of education. but right now im really really tired and if im grumpy tomorrow matty will be upset.." my voice went distant and i started thinking of my boyfriend
"hows that going for you guys.. still together?"
"yeeh, i dunno. i think... i think im falling for someone else" crap did i just say that.
"Wéll i hope you work it out.. he cant be as great as matt. that guys a champ. I'll see you in the morning lula, thanx for the late chat" the line went dead and i crept back to my bed. only 8 hours until i saw the boy.
but which one did i mean. teddy. or matt. screw this.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I heard a knock on my door and i called out bye to mum.
"Good morning sunshine" i gave teddy a hug and followed him out to his car.
"are you ready for this geiger? take on the ex. you can totally do this!!!" i hope i sounded convincing. but i could feel his pain.
"i dunno if i can do this, but i think we can do this" he smiled and opened my door for me.
"thankyou" i got in and did up my seat belt. and from here.. it all went down hill.
"Teddy?" i said quietly as he did up his seat belt.
"mmm?" he turned around.
i leaned towards him and brushed his hair gently out of his eyes. i moved so close that i could feel him breathing. Our noses touched and i knew we were on dangerous ground. still really close i whispered. "confidence cohen" and slowly moved away allowing him to start the car.
whyyyy did i do that. the rest of the car ride was fairly silent. i felt sorry for the boy. what if he didnt feel it. what if he still is in love with kira. what if im fooling myself and he only thinks of us as friends. what if matt finds out. what if i still like matt. whyyyyyyy.

about to post a new one.. will be about 10 minutes. enjoy enjoy enjoy.
p.s. for anyone who plays guitar and sings. mmmbop sounds really good acoustic with a 3 part harmony. me and 3 friends did it for a talent quest and we did quite well. light percussion sounds rad with it too. we used bongos but shakers would sound really good too. chords are really easy and rich harmony makes it sound really 1970s.. loves it
