Lilly waited for the right time to start singing she didn't want to mess up in front of Skalteen. She let out a small breath before she started to sing.

"Head under water
And they tell me to breathe easy for a while
The breathing gets harder, even I know that

You made room for me, but it's too soon to see
If I'm happy in your hands
I'm unusually hard to hold on to

Blank stares at blank pages
No easy way to say this
You mean well, but you make this hard on me

I'm not gonna write you a love song
'Cause you asked for it
'Cause you need one, you see
I'm not gonna write you a love song
'Cause you tell me it's make or breaking this
If you're on your way
I'm not gonna write you to stay
If all you have is leaving
I'mma need a better reason to write you a love song today
Today

I learned the hard way
That they all say things you want to hear
My heavy heart sinks deep down under you
And your twisted words, your help just hurts
You are not what I thought you were
Hello to high and dry

Convinced me to please you
Made me think that I need this too
I'm trying to let you hear me as I am

I'm not gonna write you a love song
'Cause you asked for it
'Cause you need one, you see
I'm not gonna write you a love song
'Cause you tell me it's make or breaking this
If you're on your way,
I'm not gonna write you to stay
If all you have is leaving
I'mma need a better reason to write you a love song today

Promise me you'll leave the light on
To help me see with daylight, my guide, gone
'Cause I believe there's a way you can love me because I say

I won't write you a love song
'Cause you asked for it
'Cause you need one, you see
I'm not gonna write you a love song
'Cause you tell me it's make or breaking this
Is that why you wanted a love song
'Cause you asked for it?
'Cause you need one, you see
I'm not gonna write you a love song
'Cause you tell me it's make or breaking this
If you're on your way
I'm not gonna write you to stay
If your heart is nowhere in it
I don't want it for a minute
Babe, I'll walk the seven seas when I believe that there's a reason to
Write you a love song today
Today “

She sang ,each word sung with a smile as it exited her lips at the perfect timing and sung beautifully.Salem jumped onto the widow sill.

Lilly walked toward the Drama room for her next class wondering slightly what they were going to be doing for todays lessons of theatrical arts ,but also wondering what Skalteen was doing in english aswell .She sighed as she walked into the Drama room before taking a chair and sitting in a corner of the class.

"Well looks like it's time to leave"Max and Tomix said together "to P.E"."It's strange how that teacher never showed up"Max said.

Skalteen listened as the teacher gave them their assignment for the day, while pulling out a fresh copy. ''You are all to write a poem about something new to you. No one else will see it but me, so let your ink run free.'' She said, and Skalteen set to work. What was new to him? Lily for one, but he couldn't be so obvious. Then again, why not? She'd never see it, anyway. Smiling lightly, he set to work.

Rex walked into the school gates with his bag slung over his shoulder ."Come on Anna hurry up"He said over his shoulder at his sister "You  and me both have english now remember"he said"We're just lucky we both had study for first period or we would both be in detention at lunch and you would miss Cheerleading".Anna quickly caught up to her brother then they both walked into english.Anna took a seat at the back of the class while Rex took a seat in the middle of the classroom.

Rex looked at the assignment sheet on his desk before starting to write his poem.

Anna blinked down at the assignment sheet before putting her pen to a peice of paper and writing 'The kitten Salem 'at the top of her page.

Skalteen glared at the page beneath his fingertips. He wasn't sure of the exact topic anymore, just that it was a poem, and it was shoddy. That was all he needed to know.

Life is simply one big pretence
There is no true logic; nothing makes sense
No 'good' and 'evil, like black and white
They come in many shades, and the many shades fight
No 'sad' or 'happy', for every cloud has a silver lining
And even the happiest moments can give cause for crying
No 'life' and 'death, for some live on when they're dead
And some never truly live, wasting instead
All of their time hanging onto the past
Unable to let go, trying to make it last.

Anna looked down at her page before starting to write some more.

I don't quite understand him that cat is simply random

He steals food from my plate and keeps me up late

It makes me rather mad that cat is such a clad

Some may say he's cute the mere thought makes me want to puke

He sits on Lilly's windowsill that cat he really makes me ill

As his tail flickers on he listens to Lilly sing her songs

I tried to like him I really did but that cat acts like a spoiled kid

Anna looked down at her page stuck with what to put down next .She started to tap her pen on the desk trying to think of something to add to her poem.

Skalteen suddenly got a brainwave for what to put down on the page next.

You can't live in the past forever, though
You need to find someone and discover the future together, you know
You need to wait till you find someone kind and caring
To share with them the only thing worth sharing
Someone with kindness in their eyes, and sweetness in their voice
You need to think carefully before you make that choice
For if you don't, you'll still be stuck in the past
Wishing you could change things instead of making it last.

He smiled. It was done now. How many lines had they been supposed to do? It didn't matter much. This would stay as it was, no more, no less.

Anna paused and added a few more lines to her poem.

But I guess it's fine even though he's a little out of line

Because he make Lilly smile so I guess I'll have to put up with him for a while.

She then wrote her name on the bottem of the page and put it on the teachers desk .Anna then returned to her chair.
