It was finally Monday. Elisabeth had the feeling that the chemistry test wouldn't go well, even though it wasn't a big test and it was about the things that they had been going through on Thursday. And today she'd perform the Italian song she had picked. Wish me luck, Elisabeth thought to herself as she walked in the chemistry classroom.

When the test was over, Elisabeth was pleased. It hadn't been so difficult after all. She had remembered almost everything, which was a surprise, because chemistry wasn't the easiest subject for her. Elisabeth smiled as she was walking towards the next classroom. Maybe today would be a good day? "Are you excited?" Someone had appeared next to her. It was Casimiro. "About what?" Elisabeth asked. "Your performance", Casimiro replied. Elisabeth shrugged. "I don't know. A bit, maybe. And it's because of Evelyn", she said. "For some reason, she has just won't stop picking on me." Casimiro sighed with empathy. "She's always like that when someone better than her comes around", he told. "With girls mostly." Elisabeth huffed. "And here I thought it was because I was Italian!" In a way, Elisabeth understood Evelyn, but on other hand she really didn't.

"Want to go eat lunch with me and Nick?" Casimiro asked when the class was over. Elisabeth nodded. "Sure." Casimiro and Nick were both nice, and Elisabeth wanted to get to know them better. Like she wanted to get to know the others from glee club. "How was your class?" Nick, who had at some point appeared next to Casimiro, asked them and pulled Casimiro into a hug. The shorter boy hugged him back and replied: "Good. A little boring without you, though." Nick laughed and Elisabeth smiled. She believed that Casimiro and Nick were made for each other, like she believed that she and him were. That him was her crush back in NYC, and even though they had never been together, Elisabeth knew that the feeling was mutual. She had promised herself that when she's done in WMHS, she'd go back to New York and meet him again. And most of all, Elisabeth shouldn't fall in love with anyone else.

"So, what song are you going to sing in glee club?" Casimiro asked while they were eating lunch in the cafeteria. "Tra Te E Il Mare by Laura Pausini. Thank God I took Italian classes in New York", Elisabeth answered. That was the best Italian song she could find in such a short amount of time. "Great", Casimiro said. "When I was little, my cousins listened to that song all the time." The song was old, released in 2005, but it was still good. "Good luck then", Nick said and smiled. "I bet they're going to love it." Expect for Evelyn, Elisabeth thought. Oh God.

It was finally glee club time. Elisabeth slowly walked into the classroom and sat between Casimiro and Alex. She didn't see Evelyn anywhere, and she already hoped that the girl wouldn't come at all. But just right then Evelyn walked inside and shot a smug smile at Elisabeth, who knew what it meant. I think I'm better than you, Italian girl. Elisabeth glared at her. Then Mr. Evans came and greeted them. "So, Elisabeth, I heard you had a song for today", he said and Elisabeth stood up. She walked in front of the class. "Yes. I'll sing Tra Te E Il Mare." Then she gave the pianist a sign to start playing. "Non ho più paura di te. Tutta la mia vita sei tu, vivo di respiri che lasci qui, Che consumo mentre sei via", Elisabeth sang. "Non posso più dividermi tra te e il mare. Non posso più restare ferma ad aspettare." Many of the clubbers seemed to know the song, since they were humming to it. "Io che avrei vissuto da te, Nella tua straniera città, Sola, con l'istinto di chi sa amare. Sola, ma pur sempre con te." She was careful with the pronouncing, because she didn't want Evelyn to pick up on her because of that. "No, amore no, Io non ci sto. O ritorni o resti lì. Non vivo più, Non sogno più." Elisabeth saw Evelyn's face and it was full of disapproval. She tried not to care about it, because others seemed to enjoy her singing. "Non posso più dividermi tra te e il mare. Non posso più restare ferma ad aspettare. Non posso più dividermi tra te e il mare...", she ended the song and the clubbers clapped their hands. Only Evelyn didn't. "You make me wish I could speak Italian", Alex said and smiled at her. Elisabeth felt like she was blushing at the comment. "Thanks", she said with soft laugh. "Good, Elisabeth! Hey Alex, you wanted to sing something?" Mr. Evans spoke. Elisabeth went back to sit next to Casimiro and Alex stood up. "Yeah. It has nothing to do with the week assignment, so sorry about it. But the song is awesome", he spoke and Mr. Evans smiled. The band started to play. "You might say no to me, but to me a no is so indifferently. I drag along your way, it's your way I'm hanging in so desperately", Alex sang. "I beg you please to start believe that it's way too soon to change your way." In chorus all the boys in the club joined him. "You can feel that our love is fading out, out of touch, oh, and you say we’ve got nothing in common! You're so crazy, I'm sane. You got heart, I got brains, and there's nothing that we have in common at all! Oh, oh, oh, nothing in common." Elisabeth didn't know the song, but it was indeed awesome. And she liked Alex's voice a lot! Alex walked in front of her, looking like he was begging and sang: "And all of my money I spend it on you, and all my love I gave it to you. My angel, my boo, the things you do! If only you can tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me!" Elisabeth blushed at all the attention. She was kind of confused. Alex was cute... But Elisabeth had promised. For Elisabeth's relief, Alex moved away to sing the last chorus. When he ended, everyone in the room were smiling and clapping. But Elisabeth was confused.
