Her story

It was a beautiful October morning and today was the day and I was so excited! Today I, Fleur Davison would try out for the schools Talent show! The coolest part was that two of my friends were trying out with me. We weren't like everyone else in school we were different, I didn't care. So what if I never had a boyfriend or if I'm not popular? I like who I was and man did I ever want it to be 3:30 the time I would get to be on stage and just do what I do best, sing, and dance.

I had just started taking jazz lessons so I just had to add a dance to our act. Riley and I are singing a song then we dance to it with Emmy on the piano. We worked hard to put it together and I really hope it pays off. In the beginning, Riley wasn't in the act. Ever since she had heard Emmy and I were trying out, she had been on our backs about it ever since we let her in on the act. We practiced three days a week for hours.

It was 3:21 and I was bobbing up and down, what I usually do when I am nervous. As I looked around, I saw all these talented people. People that I knew were going to make it in. Like the best singer in the school, a girl who was really talented at dancing. Of course they were all popular. I suddenly felt that we were defiantly not going to make in. Our act was not the greatest thing on earth but I still decided to do my best. The girls were counting on me.

"You guys," I said, "We're no going to make it in all these people made it into the spring musical last year."

"Oh gosh," said Emmy "I made it into the musical last year".

"Yeah," I said, "but you're not the one who's singing."

Ms. Hart, the assistant director of the Talent show, opened the doors that led to the auditorium and called in a group of guys, we were next.

"We're next," I said. At that point, I was bobbing up and down even more. For the next five minutes, Riley and I kept on practicing our act until Ms. Hart called us in.

Emmy started to play and I ran out. You could hardly hear us in the large auditorium. We finished in what seemed like 2 minutes.
