"Susie! Susie Campbell! Get over here!" A voice, my friend Annabelle's, called. "I'm coming!" I yelled back. I slammed my front door behind me and slowly jogged over to her, pretending that today wasn't a Monday. "We're gonna be late!" She laughed. "Again..." We walked past Lina's house, were she was supposed to be waiting for us, but she had obviously already gone. I sighed, Lina was nice and all, but sometimes she just didn't have the patience. Annabelle did though, and she never seemed to run out of it.

Annabelle has been my friend as long as I can remember. Our parents are practically best friends ,too, so our families are really close. We do pretty much everything together, it's a little surprising. We've had birthday parties together, celebrated Christmas together, and have both done dance class for a few years together. And to top it off, we go to the same church, same school, and are in most of the same classes each year. Don't get me wrong, Lina's the best! We've been friends since 8th grade, four years, but sometimes she can be a little bossy. Lina likes to walk to school with us, but she's afraid of being late, so she doesn't always wait.

To get to Blue Branch high school, you have to walk a half mile, about 6 or 7 minutes when we speed walk. We could've driven, but our families couldn't afford a car. Besides, it was a pretty day anyway. I looked at my watch, it read 6:57. "We have three minutes... " I said. Annabelle started to run. "We barely have time! If we're late..." she gasped through short breaths. She was running fast, faster than I could, at least. "Wait up!" I yelled, and she stopped, but not because of me. I stepped beside her, holding my chest in pain and looked at what had made her stop. A few girls were gathered around the building. I gasped. There was a tiny poster on the side of the school that read:

Joey Drew Studios presents:

Alice Angel, a singing sensation!

Needed voice actress willing to take this wonderful job! Come to Joey Drew Studios on 4/21/29 and try for the part! (Interviews from 9:30am to 1:00pm*) *depending on what time you come in

I stood there, thinking. Me, Susie Campell could actually have a chance in doing something in my life. Working for Joey Drew would make me famous, no one would think I was just a weird person anymore, I could have a chance in popularity! I looked to my side, and Annabelle was gaping at the poster like she just won the lottery. She must've been thinking the same thing, because she looked at me and said in a whisper, "this is our chance!" It was an opportunity of a life time.

Joey Drew Studios is the company who made Bendy, a devil cartoon character made by Joey Drew himself. I've watched some of it myself, and it's pretty good. Okay, fine, I love the show, but so does everyone else. Everyone knows about it, at least. It's one of the few moving pictures there are. But, working there would make my life more interesting. My favorite episode is "Tombstone Picnic" were Bendy keeps bumping into skeletons.

There are other characters, too, like Boris the wolf and the butcher gang. They're in cartoons, but they're nothing compared to Bendy. Bendy is the main character in all the cartoons and the most popular, by far.

As I sat in class holding a detention slip in my hand, I wondered about all the possibilities that I would encounter if I won. I might be a good singer, after all.
