Michael Jones:

Hey, sorry I am late, I was talking to Mr. Van Sickle about History

Derek Montgomery:

It’s fine, just don’t make a habit of it. Now sit down and get to work on something productive

Michael Jones:

Oh yeah, of course

Cody Powers:

Even showing up late to study hall? Wow Jones. I am so impressed

Michael Jones:

Cut the sarcasm Cody, I am fully aware that I’m late. What are you even working on?

Cody Powers:

Oh, I finished my work, so I’ve been messing around with photobooth on my laptop. Look, My head is all warped in this picture

Michael Jones:

Of course

Derek Montgomery:

Hey, You two, be quiet over there. This is study hall, not don’t study at all hall

Michael and Cody, both say something along the lines of:

Sorry, we’ll keep it down

Derek Montgomery:

Thank you

Michael Jones:

Hey, do you know who that girl is back there?

Cody Powers:

Of course not. Didn’t you hear Mr. Montgomery? This is study hall, we don’t talk to other people. We do our work

Michael Jones:

Or take Photobooth photos?

Cody Powers:

You mean awesome photobooth photos, and yes, that too

Michael:

Whatever. I need to get to work. Have fun


[Verse One: MikelWJ]

I was a sophomore, I remember, it was two thousand ten

When I finally decided I had thoughts I could pen

Then I’d buy a microphone to make some music, and then

If I sounded any good, I’d make her more than a friend

She sat a few seats back, they called it study hall class

And I remember looking back with every minute that passed

Hoping maybe she would notice me or something like that

I saw no special in me, but I kept my motives in tact

My goal was solely to impress her and to give her attention

Because I knew that when we talked, there was a hint of affection

But I’m just shy and so awkward, never was much of a talker

But she thought I was funny when I was joking and awkward

And so I sat down and wrote, ripped out the pages and broke

Because the stress that I had gained outweighed the stress I let go

She picked me up from the dirt, I was so damaged and hurt

But the way she looked at me gave me a sense of some worth

Michael:

Hey, uh, my name is Michael. It's nice to meet you

Jacquie:

Hello, My name is Jacquie. Aren't you that guy from study hall?

Michael:

Yeah! You actually recognize me?

Jacquie:

Yeah, you and your friend talk a lot so it's kind of hard to not remember you

Michael:

Oh. Yeah. Anyway, I was wondering if I could eat lunch with you? My friends aren’t really here today

Jacquie:

Of course! Have a seat


[Chorus: MikelWJ]

Our stories strange, so far from a fairy tale

I got your name, and prayed that I don’t fail

You’d walk away, knowing I would follow close

Then every day I saw my feelings start to grow


[Verse Two: MikelWJ]

"I'm begging you don't love me, since you're bound to be hurt."

She said "I'd treat you like dirt, trust me, it just wouldn't work

You have such life in your eyes, I'd hate to see your demise

Or even worse, be the reason why you're up in the skies."

"You'd never hurt me so terribly, I see that quite apparently

Than the evil you've described yo me to give me some clarity."

I said "I don't want to fight, I also know that your right

But if you leave me here in mourning I won't get through the night."

She dropped her gaze to the floor, then shyly looked at the door

And quickly back to me like she was hoping I would say more

I put my hand on her thigh, let out the slightest of sighs

Followed by a simple smile and the lock of our eyes

I said "Don't tell me goodbye." Then felt our fingers entwine

And I think that's near the time I started calling you mine

"I'll write you music, I guess, paced to the beat in my chest

Since it's all that I can do right and I want to impress."


[Chorus: MikelWJ]

Our stories strange, so far from a fairy tale

I got your name, and prayed that I don’t fail

You’d walk away, knowing I would follow close

Then every day I saw my feelings start to grow


[Bridge: MikelWJ]

Do You like me? Because I like you

Can you see me? Or am I see through?

Do you understand the means that i speak through

Every single time I’m dying just to see you

(x2)


[Chorus: MikelWJ]

Our stories strange, so far from a fairy tale

I got your name, and prayed that I don’t fail

You’d walk away, knowing I would follow close

Then every day I saw my feelings start to grow

Jacquie:

What’s on your mind, dear?

Michael:

I think I love you
