i stood up, realizing my hands were shaking so i put them into fists and kept them down by my sides. I walked up the the front, glancing around the room, everyone was staring at me. i tucked a strand of hair behind my left ear, wondering if i should start now or slightly later on 'should i start?' i asked the teacher, she was officially the worst teacher ever, she had picked me out of a whole group to perform first. She nodded so i began. She turned on the music when i began to click my fingers. Footloose came out of the speakers as i tapped my foot
'I've been working so hard, I'm punching my card, Eight hours for what? Oh, tell me what I got' I began doing the fancy footwork i had practiced hard with when i was back up north.'I've got this feeling, That time's just holding me down, I'll hit the ceiling or else I'll tear up this town' At this point i was starting to get into it, i was full on doing the proper dance moves. I was smiling as i sung 'Tonight I gotta cut Loose, footloose kick off your Sunday shoes, Please, Louise pull me off a my knees, Jack, get back c'mon before we crack, Lose your blues everybody cut footloose' I was clapping my hands now instead of clicking my fingers, exaggerating the claps probably a little too much.
'And you're playing so cool, Obeying every rule, I dig a way down in your heart, You're burning, yearning for songs, Somebody to tell you, That life ain't passing you by, I'm trying to tell you, It will if you don't even try, You can fly if you'd only cut Loose, footloose kick off your Sunday shoes, Oowhee, Marie shake it, shake it for me, Whoa, Milo c'mon, c'mon let's go, Lose your blues everybody cut footloose' I was proably grinning now but i couldn't tell, i was too caught up in the song.
'Cut footloose, Cut footloose, Cut footloose, We got to turn me around, And put your feet on the ground, Now take a hold of the phone, Whoa, I'm turning it loose, Loose, footloose kick off your Sunday shoes, Please, Louise pull me off a my knees, Jack, get back c'mon before we crack, Lose your blues now everybody cut footloose, Loose, footloose kick off your Sunday shoes, Please, Louise pull me off a my knees, Jack, get back c'mon before we crack, Lose your blues' I was nearing the end now, i had added in spins and all sorts into the routine, i know this isn't a dance class but you can't sing footloose without the moves.
'Everybody cut everybody cut, Everybody cut everybody cut, Everybody cut everybody cut, Everybody everybody cut footloose' I sang, adding in an air guitar at the very end. i finished the song smiling, suddenly i had appeared back into the class room, i wondered how i had done.
I took my seat back next to Caleb. Ok, so going first hadn't been that bad.
