SINGER IN DISGUISE

Chapter 1: Enter Meryl

Bright neon lights flashed on the stage as the mist began to cover the floor. The room was dark except for the flashing lights, it ignited the room. As the dark blue fog covered the stage, people started to shout over the rhythmic music that began to play and the lights in the center began to flash. There was a dark figure silhouetted in the middle of the stage and the music began to get louder and louder.

As the song got to a certain part the lights flashed on the shadowed figure. The shadowed figure appeared to be a girl around age 17 dressed in a white spaghetti strap tank top with a mini black skirt and matching black boots that barely reached above her knees. She had short black raven hair with the most beautiful blue grey eyes anyone has ever seen. Everyone thought that she was so beautiful and every girl wanted to be her. She started to raise her right arm up to her face revealing that she had a microphone in her hand. She looked straight ahead to her fans and smiled a little and began to sing.

'Take this pink ribbon off my eyes

I'm exposed

And it's no big surprise

Don't you think I know

Exactly where I stand

This world is boring me

To hold your hand'

The girl, a famous singer by the name of Meryl, started to dance to the music while moving from one side of the stage to the next. She danced with the rhythm of the music.

'Cause I'm just a girl

Don't let me out of your sight

I'm just a girl, all pretty and petite

So don't let me have any rights

Oh...I've had it up to hear'

The crowd started dancing at the same time screaming with joy.

'The moment that I step outside

So many reasons

For me to run and hide

I can't do the little things

I hold so dear

Cause it's all those little things

That I fear'

Her voice sounded so beautiful and angelic as she sang.

'Cause I'm just a girl,

I'd rather not be

Cause they won't let me drive

Late at night

I'm just a girl

Guess I'm some kind of freak

Cause they all sit and stare

With their eyes

I'm just a girl

Take a good look at me

Just your typical prototype

Oh...I've had it up to hear!

Oh...am I making myself clear?'

As she sang her voice died down a little.

'I'm just a girl

I'm just a girl in the world...

That's all you'll let me be!'

Her voice rose louder again and the crowd started getting louder.

'I'm just a girl living in captivity

Your rule of thumb

Make me worry some

I'm just a girl, my apologies

What I've scummed to...

I'm making me numb

I'm just a girl...my apologies

What I've become is so burdensome

I'm just a girl, lucky me

Twiddle-dum there's no comparison'

She stopped dancing and was now in the middle of the stage.

'Oh...I've had it up to!!

Oh...I've had it up to!!

Oh...I've had it up to hear.'

Just as Meryl's voice died down screaming fans could only be heard. She smiled at them and waved bye to all her fans as she walked off the stage. She then headed to her dressing room.

"I feel so exhausted." Meryl said as she opened the door to her dressing room.

She sighed deeply and sat down on a chair that was facing a huge mirror table that had various stuff on it. She looked at herself in the mirror and sighed again.

"Everyday I wish to have a normal life. I even want to go to a regular public high school and make friends who only accept me for who I am and not as some famous rich singer. Unfortunately I can't go to any public school my stupid boss won't even allow me to go because he thinks that it's too dangerous." Meryl said.

Ever since Meryl became a singer she always wanted to go to a public school and be around regular people that are not snobs. She always told her boss, Legato, if she could attend a public school, but he would always say no it's too dangerous with all those crazed fans out there. Someone interrupted Meryl out of her thoughts as she heard knocking at her door.

"Who is it?" Meryl said while turning her head to face the door.

"Meryl it's me Dominique. Open up I have great news to tell you and I know you're going to love it!" Dominique said.

Dominique was Meryl's make-up designer and her very best friend. Meryl stood up and headed to the door. She opened the door and saw a tall woman with an extremely happy smile on her face.

"What could the oh so great news be?" Meryl asked looking very bored.

"Promise not to scream loud." Dominique said looking at her. Meryl nodded.

"Well I just talked to Legato and your never going to believe what he agreed to!" Dominique said with over excitement in her voice.

"Spit it out already damnit." Meryl said annoyed.

"Legato agreed to let you go to a public high school."

Meryl looked at her with wide eyes and started to scream with joy while jumping around the room. After five minutes of calming down Dominique started to speak, "On one condition, in order for you to go to this high school you have to a disguise."

"No biggie I could just go to the store a buy a wig or something." Meryl said.

"Meryl you're going to have to dress up like a boy."

"WHAT!?!" Meryl yelled.

"Sorry, but that's what Legato said, either take it or leave it." Dominique said.

"Fine I'll take it."

"Good choice. Good luck on your first day at Typhoon High Meryl. See ya later." Dominique said while leaving.

A week after the concert

"How the hell am I going to fool people with this ridiculous disguise?" Meryl said looking at herself in the malls dressing room.

Meryl glanced at herself in the mirror. She had blonde hair, short as her own, and she was dressed in boy clothes. She had a vest underneath her shirt so you couldn't tell if she was a girl or not. Her shirt was black and her jeans were a baggy dark blue color.

"Come on Meryl it can't be that dumb." Legato said.

Just as Meryl stepped out of the dressing room she came face to face with a tall man with dark blue hair and the weirdest golden eyes anyone has ever seen.

"You look..um boyish." Legato said.

Meryl glared daggers at him. Legato couldn't hold it in anymore he started to laugh so hard that tears were coming out of his eyes.

"Stop laughing!" Meryl yelled at Legato.

Legato recovered from his laughter and tried to look at her without laughing.

"That'll do Meryl. Now I'm going to send you to school now." Legato stated.

Meryl just nodded and followed him out the mall and got into his red mustang.
