The Love Of Music

[James Wayland]

James Wayland took he deep breath as he entered his new school. For he was a poor boy who was lucky to get accepted at a fancy rich school full of talented musicians like himself. For unlike most of the kids at the school music was his life and this was his one chance to live his dream. Looking through the crowed of students. For he already stood out as they wore their expensive clothes and texting on their cell phones. Moving quickly through the crowed he finally got to his locker. Opening his locker he put his backpack in his locker. As he did the person who had their locker right by his finally noticed him. Ignoring eye contact James closed his locker and started off for his first singing class of the day.

[Artemis Zeal]

Artemis was extremely happy. It was another wonderful day in her wonderful school. As she sat herself on her table, her friend looked up at her curiously.

"What's got you so happy?" She asked. Artemis grinned at her and said innocently,

"Do I have to have a reason to be happy? Can't I be happy for no reason?" Her friend shook her head.

"With you..No." The brunette laughed.

[James Wayland]

James quickly entered his first class and sat down at the back of the room. As he did he noticed a two brunettes talking up front. After about a minute the teacher arrived and said "As most of you know me I am Mr. Gates. Today I will be giving you time to write aa new song and share it with the class and yes you have to share. You may begin." Once Mr. Gates said this James grabbed a piece of line paper and started writing a new song called 'It's Over'.

[Artemis Zeal]

Artemis smiled happily and immediately wrote her song. She had written it yesterday at her house when she was bored. She titled her paper "Unfair".

[James Wayland]

After a while later Mr. gates said "Okay lets get started how about Mr. Wayland first and then Miss. Zeal." Saying this he took a seat at his desk while James got up and walked to the center of the class room. Grabbing a guitar he sat on a stool and said "This song is called 'It's Over'." saying this he started playing his guitar and sang

"We've run out of words we've run out of time
We've run out of reasons really why we together
We both know it's over baby bottom line
It's best we don't even talk at all

Don't call me even if I should cross your mind
Hard enough I don't need to hear your voice on my messages
Let's just call it quits it's probably better
So if I'm not returning your calls it's 'cause

'Cause I'm not comin' back I'm closing the door
I used to be trippin' over missin' you but I'm not anymore
I got the picture phone but baby your picture's gone
Couldn't stand to see your smile every time you dialed

'Cause it's over
Girl you know it's over this time
So when you call I'm pressin' seven
Don't wanna hear your messages messages
I'm tryna erase you from my mind
'Cause it's over
I swear girl it's over this time
So don't keep callin' leavin' messages
Don't wanna know where you been
Baby 'cause it's over

I still wake up every morning quarter to ten
I still eat my cereal right at the kitchen table
I can't even remember how long it's been
No trouble stayin' occupied

Oh I ask about you whenever I come around
I do what I can not to put my business in the streets
Last thing I need's another episode
Keep conversation short and sweet because

'Cause I'm not comin' back I'm closing the door
I used to be trippin' over missin' you but I'm not anymore
I got the picture phone baby your picture's gone
Couldn't stand to see your smile every time you dialed

'Cause it's over
Girl you know it's over this time
So when you call I'm pressin' seven
Don't wanna hear your messages messages
I'm tryna erase you from my mind
'Cause baby it's over
I swear girl it's over this time
So don't keep callin' leavin' messages
Don't wanna know where you been
Baby 'cause it's over

You know that it's over when the burnin'
And the yearnin' inside your heart ain't there anymore
And you know that you're through when she don't do to you
And move you like the way she moved ya before

And you wanna pull her close
But your heart has froze
You kiss her but her eyes don't close
Then she goes out of your heart forever
And it hurts you but you know that it's better

Girl you know it's over
Girl you know it's over this time
So when you call I'm pressin' seven
Don't wanna hear your messages messages
I'm tryna erase you from my mind
'Cause it's over
I swear girl it's over this time
So don't keep callin' leavin' messages
Don't wanna know where you been
Baby 'cause it's over
'Cause it's over
Girl you know it's over this time
So when you call I'm pressin' seven
Don't wanna hear your messages messages
I'm tryna erase you from my mind
'Cause it's over
I swear girl it's over this time
So don't keep callin' leavin' messages
Don't wanna know where you been
Baby 'cause it's over."

After he was done he put the guitar away and sat down in the back of the class room once again.

[Artemis Zeal]

Artemis and the rest of the class applauded. He was REALLY good.

"Good Luck!" Her friend said,smiling reassuringly. Artemis took a deep breath and stepped in front of the class room, taking a stool for her sit.

She grabbed a guitar and strummed slowly(as the song required) and sang softly,

The city sleeps
So silently
Wish I could say the same for me
But I've got this dead ended street
To keep searching

For a tunnel underneath the bitter truth
Or a bridge invisible I won't fall through

And I don't know how much I can keep
Letting you unravel me
'Cause the more you learn the more we share
We were worlds apart and you see
It was so much easier to be
'Cause now I know what we can't have and it's so unfair

I never meant
Most of those pretty words I said
But I wanted you to think I did
'Cause telling you all this makes no difference
It's useless

'Cause those who get to know our hearts the most
They always seem to be the ones we'll never hold

And I don't know how much I can keep
Letting you unravel me
'Cause the more you learn the more we share
We were worlds apart and you see
It was so much easier to be
'Cause now I know what we can't have and it's so unfair

Can't you see it's destroying me?
I can't stand the closeness
oh,But don't you dare go avoiding me
It kills me and yet it keeps me going

ohhhh

And I don't know how much I can keep
Letting you unravel me
'Cause the more you learn the more we share
We were worlds apart and you see
It was so much easier to be
'Cause now I know what we can't have and it's so unfair

She paused and bit her lip. She wordlessly handed back the guitar and sat herself next to her friend,Rachel.

[James Wayland]

James clapped with the rest of the class as everyone preformed. After the last person proformed
Mr. Gates aloud everyone to talk for the rest of the period. Gathering his stuff James kept glancing at the clock. For they had 3 more minutes of class. Signign he rested in his seat and watched people around the room.

[Artemis Zeal]

"You know..the new kid is kinda cute." Rachel whispered,glancing behind her. Artemis pretended to look for the garbage can and as she looked around the room, she glance at the new kid. She looked back at her friend and grinned.

"If you say so." She said. Rachel gasped.

"Oh my god! Artemis Zeal,boy crazy extraordinaire, said what?! Are you okay, do you have a fever. Omg! I think you do!" Artemis pulled away laughing.

"I'm fine. I'm just trying to..tone down my boy craziness and besides, You are the MASTER of being boy crazy, I'm just an amateur." She said. Rachel looked at her thoughtfully.

"You're right. You ARE an amateur." The brunette rolled her eyes.

[James Wayland]

Once the bell rang James quickly walked out of the class room towards his locker. Opening his locker hegrabbed his guitar case. As he did he glanced at his locker neighbor which turned out to be the person that had sang after him. Closing his locker door he headed towards guitar class.

[Artemis Zeal]

Artemis showed up to her class late.

"Sorry I'm late, I had to talk to the principal." She said panting. Ms.Wayne rolled her eyes.

"It's alright. Go sit by Mr.Wayland." She said. Artemis nodded and with a secure hand on her backpack made her way towards his table.

"Hi." She said,smiling slightly at him.

[James Wayland]

James had taken a seat and listened to Ms. Wayne talk when a girl ran in late. For once again he was sitting in the back, but this time not alone since Ms. Wayne told her to sitn next to him. When she said "Hi." He glanced at her and said "Hello." Saying this he focused on class. Giving the students free time on the guitar he started to play different tunes that you would never think would go together but did perfectly when he played them.

[Artemis Zeal]

"Show off." Artemis coughed out,before working on a song she had been working on for days.

"Hmm...A..G..B.." Artemis muttered,strumming. Finally,she got the first part right. She played it all over again in a fast beat and sang,

It's taking way too long for,
For you to make your mind up.
And I've got too much time for,
Your silly games, but times up

I've drawn a very thin line through,
The paper heart that you just drew.
I dropped my keys and phone in front of you,
You picked them up and.....

Artemis trailed off, a thoughtful on her face.

[James Wayland]

James slightly chuckled but continued to play. As he did he listened to the girl play. Once she stopped he started to play a different tune.

[Artemis Zeal]

Artemis listen to to him play. Once he was done, She turned to him and asked,

"Did you make it up? It's really good."

[James Wayland]

James glanced at the girl and said "Yeah I did and thanks." Saying this Ms. Wayne who had been listening came over and asked "I'm very impressed Mr. Wayland are there lyrics to it?" James nodded so she added "May I here it." James nodded and said "It's called Dancing in Circles." Saying this he started playing the same tune and sang

"I don't understand why we do what we do to each other
According to His word we're all born sisters and brothers
But we lie and we steal, fight and we kill
Even though we know the way

Why do we go dancing in circles when we know it never ends?
We come so close to loving each other
And then we go dancing in circles again

All through the ages we tried to share this world together
Turning the pages, pretending we'll live here forever
But we'll have to face our maker someday
And reap what we've sown all the way

Why do we go dancing in circles when we know it never ends?
We come so close to loving each other
And then we go dancing in circles again

We know how so why can't we just get it right?
And I pray someday we'll overcome
All the damage we've done and we'll fight

Why do we go dancing in circles when we know it never ends?
We come so close, so close to living His plan
Loving each other like sisters and brothers
And then we go dancing in circles again, oh yeah."
