Lose Control Tonight! - Fabiha Zaman (summer beach reads txt) 📗

My name is Genevieve Swan, I'm 18 and I LOVE dancing and singing. My dream is to become a professional dancer and singer. I go to this place called The Party Club. It's this place where you go to just let go and have fun. I'm just going to tell my dad.
"Dad!" I shout. I only have a dad. My mum died a long time ago. I don't remember her a lot but I know even if she was alive I would love her to bits and she would have loved me back.
"What's up Vieve?" Vieve is my nickname.
"Can I go to the Club?" I asked. Even though he always knew where I was going he always want's to make sure.
"Sure. I'm going there now. Hurry up and get changed!" He shouted up the stairs. I always find it embarassing when he goes there but I can't do anything. I change as quickly as I can. I choose to wear my black tank top and black cardigan. I wear black jeans with sequins on it and black flats. I really like black.
"Ready!" I shout to my dad as I bound down the stair dangerously. I don't see my dad coming up the stairs so I crash into him. Luckily he catches me before I could fall on my butt.
"Whoa! Careful Vieve! I swear Vieve, someday you will break your neck going down these stairs." He mutters as he pulls me up straight.
"Sorry dad. I promise I will be careful." I promise.
"Since when do you keep that promise?" He mutters again as he goes up the stairs.
"Hurry up dad! Your so slow!" I complain.
"Ok, ok. One minuite" He says. After waiting for what seemed like ages, he came down.
"Let's go!" I shout as I grab his arm and drag him out the door and to my car.
"Let's take my car Vieve." He says.
"No. My car is more stylish." I say. Which is true since I have a black Ferrari Enzo. Honestly, it did not cost so much because I I had to work as a waitress for 3 years so that I could save up for that car.
"Ok then." He said as he climbed into the passenger seat. I put the keys in and the Ferrari purred like a sleeping kitten. In no time we arrived at the Club.
"Hey, Vieve?" He asked.
"Yeah?" I say back.
"Are you going on the stage tonight?" I smiled. He has NEVER seen me on the stage at the Club. No-one has. I never show anybody. But tonight I will. I was going to keep it a secret but I decided not to.
"Yes." I said.
"Yes! Finally I get to see you up on the stage." I shouted.
"Shh! Don't attract a crowd." I whispered.
"Sorry" He whispered back. We went to the line to get into the club and waited. Finally it was our turn.
"Hey Vieve!" The bouncer said. We were like freinds. His name is Bill.
"Hey Bill." I said as I placed two 5 dollar bills on the counter.
"Are you finally going on the stage tonight?" Bill asked. He was the only one who knew that I longed to go on to the stage and sing and dance.
"Yes." I said and winked.
"I will try and come inside to see you sing. When exactly?" He asked. I looked at my watch.
"About in 20 minuites." I confirmed.
"Perfect" That's when I switch shifts. My next shift is inside." He said.
"Wonderful! I'll see you later." I said to Bill. We walked into the club. I looked at the counter to see if my best friend was there. My best friend is Stella. We have been best friends for as long as I can remember. There at the counter I saw Stella talking to a group of girls. Marcie's gang. I really hate them. They are so mean to me at school. I say to my dad that I will meet him at the car in 2 hours and I walk away. I walk over to Stella where she argues with Marcie about something.
"Hey Stella!" I shout over the noise.
"Hey Vieve!" She shouts back.
"What's up?" I say nodding to Marcie who stares at me viciuosly. If looks could kill,

I say in my thoughts.
"Nothing new." She says. I nod.
"Hey freak. Are you going to sing tonight? I'm going to sing a very special song that I wrote by myself." Marcie says boasting.
"Yeah I'm going to sing. I'm also going to sing my own song." I say back. I was very pleased when I saw she had a very suprised look on her face. Instantly the look was gone and back came more boast.
"Well, I bet your song sucks. Wait till you hear mine. My song will be tonights news. Every one will be talikg about it!" She giggled childishly. Me ans Stella swapped glances. We both knew Marcie's voice is horrible but we never said anything so she could embarass herself in front of everyone.
"You havn't heard it yet so how can you know my song sucks?" I always ask these questions to confuse her.
"Shut up!" She shouted and stomped away. Stella laughed so hard she almost dropped her drink.
"Are you really going to sing?" She asked once she stopped laughing. She hasn't heard me sing so was suprised when I said I was going up on stage.
"Yes." I answered.
"Yay! I finally get to hear you sing!" She cheered. Finally the announcer said Marcie's name and Stella started giggling. We saw Marcie staring at us so Stella shut up and waited.
"My name is Marcie and this is a song that I wrote myself." She said. The music was very loud and very wierd. Lot's of perople had confused looks on their faces and Stella started giggling again. Finally Marcie started singing.

Who say's Im not perfect?
Who say's Im not wonderful?-------font>

She finished her song and went off stage. People clapped to be polite but it was very quiet clapping. Stella was laughing her head off by now. We saw Marcie walking over to us so Stella closed her mouth.
"Hey wierdos. Like my song? Seems like everyone loved it. I think your next Genevieve. Hope I warmed the audience up for you. Bet the audience liked my song a lot." She boasted on and on until the announcer called me up.
"Good luck Vieve." Stella whispered into my ear.
"Later loser. Hope it goes all wrong." Said Marcie. I ignored her. I went up on stage and the announcer whispered into my ear if I will dance and sing or just sing. I said sing. Today.
"Hey everybody this little girly will SING!" He shouted into the microphone. Everyone cheered. The loudest was Stella. He gave me a microphone. I gave him my CD that has my music on it.
"Good luck sweetie. Don't get scared." He whispered to me before I climbed on to the stage.
"Hi. My name is Genevieve and this is a song that I wrote myself. Enjoy." I said just as I heard a snigger from Marcie. The music started up and I waited a few seconds before I started singing.
I swayed to the music and twisted my hips.

---It's the boy you never told I like you
It's the girl you let get away
It's the one you saw that day on the train
But you freaked out and walked away
It's the plane you wanna catch to Vegas
Things you swear you'll do before you die
It's the city of love that waits for you
But you're too damn scared to fly

Hit the lights, let the music move you
Lose yourself tonight, come alive
Let the moment take you, lose control tonight
Hit the lights, let the music move you
Lose yourself tonight, come alive
Let the moment take you, lose control tonight

It's the time that you totally screwed up
Still you're trying get it out your brain
It's the fight you had when you didn't make up
It's the past that you're dying to change
It's all the money the you're saving
While the good life passes by
It's all the dreams that never came true
'cause you're too damn scared to try

Hit the lights, let the music move you
Lose yourself tonight, come alive
Let the moment take you, lose control tonight
Hit the lights, let the music move you
Lose yourself tonight, come alive
Let the moment take you, lose control tonight

It's a mad mad world, gotta make an escape
It's a perfect world, when you go all the way
Hit the lights, let the music move you
Lose yourself tonight

So let's go go go go
All the way, yeah let's go go go
Night and day, from the floor to the rafters
People raise your glasses
We could dance forever

Hit the lights, let the music move you
Lose yourself tonight, come alive
Let the moment take you, lose control tonight
Hit the lights, let the music move you
Lose yourself tonight, come alive
Let the moment take you, lose control tonight---

I finished off with a flourish. I looked up and heard wild applause. Some people whistled, some people cheered for an encore. I was very proud. As soon as I came off the stage I saw my dad, Stella and lots of other people, running towards me.
"That was amazing!"Shouted my dad over the cheering.
"Did you really write that?!" Shouted Stella. Lots of people said that it was amazing and beautiful. Marcie came over to me, she had a really disgusted look on her face, I really enjoy that look.
"Hey freak. Your song was so tacky and stupid. No-one liked your song. I'm deciding about giving them an encore, so they can forget about your one and put them out of their misery." I just ignored her.
One person really caught my eye. It was a man, he was wearing a
