Chapter 13

RT: *Holding the mic* Now for all of you femmes, I would be wooing you with this.

*About to sing when Marino kicked him away, thus making the mic twirl in the air for a few nanoclicks*

RT: Hey!! *In the other room, indignant*

Marino: *Catches the mic before it fell onto the floor* Alright, since I taken care of Mr. Jerk and wanna-be...

*Snickers is heard from the crowd*

RT: Not funny!

Marino: *Not caring* I have a song that best fits me. *Starts the music*

*Material Girl by Madonna*

Some boys kiss me, some boys hug me
I think they're O.K.
If they don't give me proper credit
I just walk away

They can beg and they can plead
But they can't see the light, that's right
'Cause the boy with the cold hard cash
Is always Mister Right, 'cause we are

[Chorus:]

Living in a material world
And I am a material girl
You know that we are living in a material world
And I am a material girl

Some boys romance, some boys slow dance
That's all right with me
If they can't raise my interest then I
Have to let them be

*Seriously having fun*

Some boys try and some boys lie but
I don't let them play
Only boys who save their pennies
Make my rainy day, 'cause they are

[chorus]

Living in a material world (material)
Living in a material world
[repeat]

Boys may come and boys may go
And that's all right you see
Experience has made me rich
And now they're after me, 'cause everybody's

[chorus]

A material, a material, a material, a material world

Living in a material world (material)
Living in a material world
[repeat and fade]

*Music ends*

X: Go figure. A song fits a girl like her. *Sarcastically*

Marino: *Throws a fist-sized rock at his face and it struck true*

X: *K.O.ed*

Marino: *Storms to her seat, feeling irate at X*

Alia: *Now scared of Marino* Ok. Since the next person comes up, we will have no qualms at all.

*To be continued...*
