Posted by MoChA [In the auditorium] Aneisha *sitting in her chair looking at her friends*: I’m NOT movin… Zaria: Girl, would you just get up here & do this with us…? Aneisha: I don’t think so… Michelle *walking up to Aneisha*: Ok, since you’re gonna act like this…you want us to fail? Aneisha: No, but I also know that I don’t want to get up there & sing for these people. I know none of them except for y’all, Kelvin & Tyreek. Michelle: So act like you’re singin to them… Aneisha: Right! That won’t happen. I’m sittin right here… Professor: Ladies…any time now, please… Aneisha: You know, Ima only do this because my grade depends on it. That’s it. Don’t think I’m doin this because I want to… Michelle: Don’t worry, you’ll thank us later… [They walk back to the stage] Rachel: Ok, are we ready now? We’re doin “My Paradise”… Zaria: I’ll start…[to the class] Ok, our hobby, or at least one of them, is singing. When we get together, we sing & have a good time…Ready ladies? 1…2…1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &… “You take me up so high, higher up & high I reach the sky. Feels so good you’re in my life, my paradise… M, A, R: “Whoa oh…” Zaria: “…You show love in a special way, just enough to make my day. You give more than I can take, my paradise…” M, A, R: “Whoa oh…” Rachel: “Keeper of the sun, keep it shinin on the run; who lights my life when the darkness comes, my paradise… M, A, Z: “Whoa oh…” Rachel: “If I see you lookin down, I’ll call happy to come around. I wanna see you smile, my paradise…” M, A, Z: “Whoa oh…” Michelle: “You are my cover, when it’s rainin & cold outside. Oh you’re my one & only paradise… Z, A, R: “Whoa oh…” Michelle: “And if you think you don’t know boy then won’t you touch my heart? You can feel the beat from a thousand miles, my paradise…” Z, A, R: “Whoa, oh…” Aneisha [shaking]: … Rachel: It’s ok…sing, Neisha… Aneisha: The room is silent…I can’t do this… Zaria: Yes, you can. Nobody does this part of the song better than you. You have to do this. Your grade depends on this… Aneisha: I can’t… Michelle: Just act like we’re at tha crib, just chillen…it’s that simple… Aneisha [took a deep breath & began to sing]: “You know that you can take me away if you wanted to. You are my dream come true, my paradise… M, R, Z: “Whoa oh…” Aneisha: “You make me feel so free. Baby you’re my ectasy. Promise you’ll never leave, my paradise… M, R, Z: “Whoa oh…” Aneisha: “Lovin you; baby you’re my dream come true. I don’t know what I would do, my paradise…” All of them: “Whoa oh!” [The room gave them a standing O] Professor: Wow! That was amazing! [They go sit down] Professor: Ladies, you may leave. That was wonderful…an A plus… [The 4 of them smile in satisfaction & walked out the door] Michelle: You were off tha chain, Neisha! Zaria: I knew you’d show out! You always do when we sing that song. Aneisha: I was so damn nervous! I don’t know why everyone wanted to put me on the spot today. What the hell’s up with that? Rachel: Who cares? You tore that thing up! I’m so proud of you! Aneisha: Oh shit! I left my purse in there!*walks back inside to get her purse & Kelvin’s in the middle of doing his speech* Kelvin: …I love runnin…that’s why I’m on the track team. I also play basketball. So I’m all about the sports. That’s probably what I’ll be doin over the summer along with workin...Thank you…*takes a bow* Professor: Thank you, Kelvin. You may leave. Have a great summer. Kelvin: Thanx. *gets his things & leaves* [Outside the auditorium] Zaria: Well, y’all, I have to leave. My man called me & wants to take me out to lunch. You know how that nigga likes to eat all the time. So, I’ll holla at you later. Bye y’all. Michelle: Well, you know I have shoppin to do. So I’ll catch up with y’all later. Rachel: Well, I need to go to the library to study right quick. So, I’ll see you later… [Kelvin walks out talkin on his cell phone] Kelvin: Yeah, don’t worry. I got it taken care of. But lemme call you back. I got something I have to handle. Bye. *to Aniesha* Hi Neisha… Aneisha: Hey… Kelvin: Your speech was incredible…I didn’t know you had that type of voice in you… Aneisha: I guess you didn’t pay too much attention back when we were in college down south, did you? Kelvin: You never sang like that back in the day… Aneisha: Yes, I did… Kelvin: Ok, let’s not argue about this. You wanna chill later on? Aneisha: Where? Kelvin: Well, I thought you’d like to do it at your place since you’d probably be more comfortable at your place. Aneisha: What did you have in mind? Kelvin: Make it a Blockbuster nite… Aneisha: Aight…whatever…you know where to find me. Kelvin: Aight, then. I’ll call you. [Tyreek walks around the corner just as Kelvin was leaving] Tyreek: Hey, Aneisha… Aneisha: Hi, Tyreek… Tyreek: Man, your speech was off tha chain! I didn’t know you could blow like that. Where you been hidin that voice? Aneisha *blushing*: I don’t know what you’re talking about… Tyreek: Whatever! What are you doin this summer? Aneisha: Work more than likely. Why? Tyreek: You going back down south? Aneisha: Yeah. Tyreek: Well, we should chill sometime…here’s my number. Holla at me when you get back… Aneisha: Aight then. Aneisha *laying on the couch, watching BET*: Where y’all goin? Rachel: We got a triple date. You wanna go? Aneisha: I don’t think so. That’s not my thing. Y’all know that. Have a good time. Zaria: You got company? Aneisha: What ever gave you that idea? *KNOCK KNOCK* Zaria: That! *walks to the door* OMG… ~*~Well, who’s at the door? I’m hella tired. So check it out next time!~*~
