Whitney clapped her hands making all of us close our mouths. 

It was currently the Monday before the week of homecoming and we are having a meeting about our dance for the homecoming pep fest. 

However, we have been fighting since homeroom about who was going to sing for us. 

Whitney decided that she wanted someone from our school to sing and be apart of the dance. 

We decided on the song "Champion" By Carrie Underwood, Tyler was going to do the guy part, but we needed a girl. 

"What about Julie Foster?" Gabe suggests.

"Can't dance" 

"Kendall Peterson?" 

"Can't sing" 

"Gracie Olsson?" 

"Can't do either" Whitney sighs "Come on you guys, think!" 

And then she looks at me "Melody, Melody can do it!" 

I freeze "But she can't-" 

"Yes she can dance, she took lessons in her old town, she told me" Whitney states. 

"I-I don't know, she's really shy and-" 

"It's perfect!" Whitney smiles "Meeting over, James go talk to your tutor" 

Whitney and Addison walk out of the gym with the rest of the cheerleaders. 

I groan and stand up. 

"You don't have to do what she says you know" Kyle states, once the rest of the team has left. 

 "I know" I sigh. 

"I've seen Melody around school, you're right about her being shy" Kyle adds. 

"Exactly! I don't think she'll want to do it, I don't understand why Whitney wants someone preforming it, why can't we just dance to the recording like the other years" I say. 

"I think it's cool she's trying to include people, I just don't know if Melody is the right option, I haven't heard the girl talk! How is she supposed to get up in front of the whole school and sing, and may I add, I also haven't heard her sing, is she even good?" He asks. 

I smirk "You have no idea" 

I get up and motion for Kyle to follow me. 

We run to the music hallway and stop outside the choir room. 

We peek in to see Melody sitting at the piano, starting to play a song. 

When she starts singing Kyle looks at her in amazement. 

He smiles and looks at me, nodding "We need her" 

"I don't know if she'll go for it" I shrug. 

"Just...Try, Okay?" Kyle asks. 

"Fine" I sigh "It's worth a shot" 

"See you later" Kyle says, walking away. 

I wave and wait for Melody to stop playing then walk in. 

"Oh, Hey stranger" She smiles "Haven't seen you in a while" 

This fact was true.

Since Whitney decided I was her boyfriend I haven't been going to the choir room after practices or really talking to Melody much. However, Whitney has been talking to her a few times a day. 

She goes over to Melodys lunch table with Addison and Madison and they talk.

But she knows I'm busy, right?

"I know, I know, hold you applause, I'm her to ask for a favor" I state. 

"Go on" She insists.

"Well, this year for the football and cheerleader dance at the pep fest Whitney decided that she wants Tyler and someone else to sing the song we chose and she wants you to do it" I explain. 

"Oh" She nods. 

"I know you don't want to do it but I just thou-" 

"Excuse you?" Melody asks. 

"What?"

"You think I don't want to do it?" She asks, crossing her arms. 

"Melody I didn't mean it in a me-" 

She laughs a little "You're so gullible, but I will prove you wrong by saying yes to your favor but you have to pick me up a small pink lemonade everyday before school" 

I sigh "Okay fine, I'm just happy that your not mad at me, I really thought that you were" 

Melody bites her lip, looking down"Huh. Yeah" 

I furrow my eyebrows in confusion "Are you mad at me?" 

She looks back up at me "What? No" She shakes her head. 

"Promise?" I ask. 

"Promise" She nods, getting up from the piano. 

"Okay good. So you'll be singing the song champion by Carrie Underwood, do you know it?" I ask. 

"Yup, Who's doing the guys part?" She asks. 

"Tyler, you two will get along, he's really nice" I assure. 

Melody nods her head.

"Melody, are you sure you're okay?" I ask. 

"I told you that I'm fine, I promised, didn't I?" 

I take a deep breath. 

It's all in your head 

"Okay, cool, Practice starts tommarow after school"
