I Think I'm Alone Now

[Ashlle G. Rainier]

Ashlle looked around cautiously. It was after morning classes and she had the rest of the day off. She was unsure what had driven her down to the dance hall but the stage seemed to be calling her with a Phoenix song that could not be ignored.

After making sure no one was in the room she climbed on the stage. Approaching the middle of the stage she began to sing softly to herself. The acoustics were amazing! soon she was belting out her song.

Sister Christian, oh the time has come
And you know that you're the only one to say
Okay

Where you goin', what you looking for?
You know those boys don't want to play no more with you
It's true

You're motoring
What's your price for flight,
And finding Mister Right?
You'll be all right tonight

Babe, you know you're growing up so fast
And momma's worrying that you won't last to say
Let's play

Sister Christian, there's so much in life
Don't you give it up before your time is due
It's true
It's true (Yeah)

You're motoring
You've got him in your sights
And driving through the night
You're motoring
What's your price for flight,
And finding Mister Right?
You'll be all right tonight

You're motoring
What's your price for flight,
And finding Mister Right?
You'll be all right tonight
You're motoring
What's your price for flight,
And finding Mister Right?
You'll be all right...
Tonight

Sister Christian, oh the time has come
And you know that you're the only one to say
Okay
But you're motoring

I can't fight this feeling any longer
And yet I'm still afraid to let it flow
What started out as friendship has grown stronger
I only wish I had the strength to let it show

I tell myself that I can't hold out forever
I said there is no reason for my fear
'Cause I feel so secure when we're together
You give my life direction, you make everything so clear

And even as I wander,
I'm keeping you in sight
You're a candle in the window
On a cold, dark winter's night
And I'm getting closer than I ever thought I might

And I can't fight this feeling anymore
I've forgotten what I started fighting for
It's time to bring this ship into the shore
And throw away the oars forever

'Cause I can't fight this feeling anymore
I've forgotten what I started fighting for
And if I have to crawl upon the floor,
Come crashing through your door,
Baby, I can't fight this feeling anymore

My life has been such a whirlwind since I saw you
I've been running around in circles in my mind
And it always seems that I'm following you, girl,
Cause you take me to the places that alone I'd never find

And even as I wander,
I'm keeping you in sight
You're a candle in the window
On a cold, dark winter's night
And I'm getting closer than I ever thought I might

And I can't fight this feeling anymore
I've forgotten what I started fighting for
It's time to bring this ship into the shore
And throw away the oars forever

'Cause I can't fight this feeling anymore
I've forgotten what I started fighting for
And if I have to crawl upon the floor,
Come crashing through your door,
Baby, I can't fight this feeling anymore

Her voice was strong and full of feeling. Feeling that she had never dared let show for fear it would be ridiculed or crushed. She sang form the bottom of her sad heart and the music that flowed from her soul and lips would have touched anyones heart.

[Samantha]

Sam was walking awkwardly around the school, exploreing, looking for anything and everything....Then she heard a beautiful voice coming from a room near by...Woah sam thought to herself, peering into the huge room...on stage there was a girl...she was the one singing...."shes amazing..." sam whisperd, she had a love for music and she couldnt help but to stay and listen, she picked a cornor toward the back of the room and listened as the girl sang her heart out...

[Emma]

Emma enters the room quietly on her tip-toes because she heard a fantastic voice from where she was in the library.Then she sat down with the book of peotry still in her hand in the library and continues to read untl she finally falls asleep.

[Samantha]

Samantha saw a girl go over to the cornor, and take out a notebook...She didnt go over right away but when she did the girl was asleep..."uh...hello?" sam whisperd....feeling bad because she didnt want to wake her up..but at the same time she did. So she sat there and waited...she always likes to meet new people..."hello?" she whisperd again...

[Ashlle G. Rainier]

Ashlle was in the middle of her third song when she noticed someone in the audience.
Damn it, I was sure this room was empty she thought to herself.

"Sorry to disturb you" she called and began to climb down the stair of the stage.
If this get's out I'll never live it down. She thought.
I mean me singing Muggle songs! I'll be the laughing stock of Wizarding London.

[Samantha]

Sam jumped when the girl stopped,"I'm so sorry, I mean, well..Your really great, really! I didn't mean to bother you, I heard you singing out in the hall and I peeked in and just sort of sat down...Your really awsome! Your voice I mean...Oh goodness I'm rambleing...By the way, I'm Sam!"
She started to ramble and stumble a bit she felt so stupid, she was sure she looked like a total idiot.

[Ashlle G. Rainier]

"Hi Sam" said Ashlle. Suddenly she realized how silly this must look.
"Calm down, please, take a breath. Don't worry about a thing. Just could you do me the favor of never telling anyone I was in here? It kind of embaressing to be singing in a empty hall you know?"

Ashlle smiled at Sam
"By the way what year are you, anyway?"

[Samantha]

"Oh my goodness, I swear, I will never ever tell anyone! Really, secrets safe with me for sure! Oh yes, I am a first year...I'm in Ravenclaw... And you?"
Sam had now settled a bit, this girl seemed quite friendly.

[Emma]

Quickly wakes up from her peaceful dream.She looks up too see two people having a conversation and says "Hello I'm Emma sorry to disturb your conversation but has anyone seen my notebook?"

[Samantha]

The girl Sam had tried to wake up, from the floor had apparently just awoken. Sam processed the information and then relized that she saw the girls notebook right on the floor over there. "Here it is, I'm sorry i must have moved on accident when i got up. Well, here you are, I'm Sam! First year Ravenclaw, it's a plesure to meet you! Oh and i am truly sorry about your notebook." Sam had gotten very out of breath by this point and simply waited for a reply.

[Ashlle G. Rainier]

"I'm also a first year." said Ashlle when she was interrupted by the girl know as Emma.

Ashlle decided that this was a good time to sneak out. While they found Emma's notebook Ashlle began to slip out of the Dance Hall.

OOC: I have a cat named Emma. She stays with my parents but she'd my cay because she loves me the best.
Oh and by the way feel free to stop me from leaving. I'm actually waiting for someone to show.

[Samantha]

"Ashlle? where ya going? Are you coming back? pleeeease? hello?" she saw her attempt to sneek out...humph

[Ashlle G. Rainier]

Ashlle, defeated, slunk back.

"Oh I -er- thought I heard the bell for next class. Yeah that's it. Must have been mistaken.

She rubbed the floor with her toe and asked.
"So, has anyone here have any family?"

[Samantha]

Sam looked at the fround a second and wonderd what to say..."I uh...yeah...no? Uh...Well, thats hard, I ran away, bought a plane ticket and here I am, I don't consider them my family but they're there..ya know? It's dumb- but true."

Sam thought she may be in trouble for being so frank about it but it wasn't like it hurt to talk about it...much.

[Ashlle G. Rainier]

"If you disowned them officially, they don't count anymore." said Ashlle decidedly. She wished to ask if they were Muggles but decided not to. It was either that or they had a difference in opinions about the Dark Side.

"I have no family either, but in my case they are actually dead, not just dead in my mind." She turned to Emma.
"What about you, Emma?"
