Another High-school Romance - chapter 8
Liam’s POV
I used to rule the world
Sees would rise when I gave the world
Now in the mornings I sleep alone,
Sweep the streets I used to own
I used to roll the dice, feel the fear in my enemies’ eyes
Listen as the crowd would sing: now the old king is dead, long live the king,
As I was singing in front on the Xfactor judges I was slowly observing Simon, I knew that it was his opinion that counts, and I wanted to impress him so bad,
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Calvary choirs are singing
Be my mirrors my sword my shield
I was really nervous, but I held my emotions well, it was this thing about me that I hated, and loved at situations like these, you see I am just a little insecure about expressing my emotions, that is why I want a girlfriend that shows every thread of emotion the instance she feels it, and that is why I want Jessica even more, not only is she one of the most beautiful girls I have ever seen, well maybe not one of the hottest, but definitely one of the most beautiful, I have always believed that beautiful and hot are two different things, beautiful is not only pretty from the outside but from the inside as well and she never, ever flaunts it, I even have this feeling that she disagrees with her being unbearably gorgeous, hot is simply an adjective given to those who were blessed with a good face and figure and also “blessed” with the attitude to flaunt it at any opportunity possible, which is why I always prefer beautiful over hot.
Anyways, Jessica is just beautiful, and if you ask me, she is perfect! As if she was carefully crafted in the heavens above and descended down to earth.
As I belted out the last verse of my audition song, I closed my eyes tight, I have never been good at this note, but I don’t know what it was but it made me ace it, I got a standing ovation from one of the judges the cute female one sitting in the middle, however it was Mr. Cowel I was interested in, what was he going to say?, “ that was amazing, however” he continued, “I felt that you are giving me 80%, and to be honest I am a greedy man, I want my 20%” I panicked for a moment, “ I promise you that 20% next time”, I said looking as innocent and sincere as I possibly could, and he fell for it! Not that I was setting him up or something, I will definitely give him that 20%, and this is how I made it to boot camp, and on my way out I felt my phone vibrating, and I hoped it was her and when I saw the caller ID I yelled out “Jessie, YES, just in time” to the phone right after I answered the call “so, guess what?, your “lee”” (referring to the nickname she calls me by) is going to be a celebrity now, so I guess you’ll need to call for an appointment before we hang out!” I backed the phone away from my ear for an instance since she was shouting and when I heard her stop I closed the distance between the phone and my ear “love you jessie, bye”, I heard that silence, as If gasping for breath she always did when I told her I loved her, of course she thought I meant that I loved her in a friendly way, and then she replied with the usual “me more lee, bye love”, and I hung up.
