open up your eyes take a look at me
get the picture fixed in your memory
i'm driven by the rhythm like the beat of a heart
and i won't stop until i start
to stand out
to stand out

"Hey, Mattie!"
"O-Oh, H-hey, <y/n>..."

some people settle for the typical things
livin' all their lives waiting in the wings
it ain't a question of 'if'
just a matter of time
before i move to the front of the line



The prom was coming up, and your best friend, Mattie, commonly known as matthew williams or Canada, wanted more than the entire world to ask you.

"Is something up, Matty? You don't seem like yourself."

"Yo, <y/n>! I got something to ask you!" America practacally shoved Canada out of the way. "Wanna go to prom with me?"

"No."

Canada was shocked. Why would you say no to Alfred? Could it be that... you liked him back?

"A-America... I was having a civilized conversation with <y/n>, could you please leave?" He usually had trouble being assertive, but when it came to your relationship, he could and would do anything for you.

"Sheesh, fine dude. <y/n>, lemme know if you change your mind..."

once you're watching every move that i make
you gotta believe that i got what it takes
to stand out
above the crowd
even if i gotta shout out loud
till mine is the only face you'll see
gonna stand out
till you notice me

"Matty, is something up? You acted like you wanted to ask me something."

"Oh, no... I-It's nothing." He blushed. You were so cute when you got like that...

If the squeaky wheels always gettin the greese
I'm totally devoted to disturbin the peace
And I'll do it all again, when I get it done
Until I become your number one

"Matthew, if you want to impress <y/n>, you have to be more outgoing! Be devoted to her, her thoughts, her dreams! Girls like that!" France said, advising his close friend.

"I-I'll try..."

"Don't try, You must DO!</s>"

"Yeah, I'll do it! For <y/n>!"

"That's the spirit!"


No method to the madness and means of escape
Gonna break every rule I'll bend them all out of shape
It ain't a question of 'how' just a matter of when
You get the message that I'm trying to send

"Hey, um, <y/n>?" 

You turned around. "Oh, Hey, Matty!" You hugged him. "What's up?" 

I'm under a spell, I'm in over my head
And you know I'm going all of the way, till the end

"U-Um...I-I...I wanted to ask you... um... I wanted to ask you..."

"Ask me what?" 

"I wanted to ask if you'd like to go to prom with me!" 


To stand out
Above the crowd
Even if I gotta shout out loud
'Til mine is the only face you see
Gonna stand out 'til you notice me, yeah

"What?" You started to get awfully flustered. "Matty, Did I hear you correctly? You want to go to prom with me?" 

If I could make you stop and take a look at me instead of just
Walkin' by
There's nothin' that I wouldn't do
If it was gettin' you to notice
I'm alive

"Y-yes...If you don't want to go, that's fine, I just thought... maybe... since we've known eachother so long..." 

All I need is half a chance, a second thought, a second glance'll prove
I got whatever it takes
It's a piece of cake

"Of course, Matty!" 

To stand out
Above the crowd
Even if I gotta shout out loud
'Til mine is the only face you see
Gonna stand out
Stand out, hey
Stand out!
Stand out!
'Til mine's the only face you see
Gonna stand out
'Til you notice me
Well, you asked for it! After the world's worst case of writer's block, I finally finished the most requested story from my poll! Don't worry, I'll write the others too. :3

I was like "Wait for it.... TO STAND OUT! ABOVE THE CROWD! EVEN IF I GOTTA SHOUT OUT LOUD!" I love this song, the very first rock song I liked, as well as my favourite character ;w;
