"And the award goes to...CAT VALENTINE!"
The entire crowd roared with applause. I walked up to the podium, held the award in my hand and looked out to the crowd who was still screaming my name.
"CAT!"
"WHAT?" I yelped. I looked around the room and saw the entire class staring at me. I looked back to Sikowitz who was obviously aggravated that I had daydreamed in his class. Again. Sikowitz may be very laid back, but he is very serious about his classes.
"As I was saying.." Sikowitz was still staring at me, but turned and continued his lesson.
I took a deep breath and sat back in my seat. I turned my head to find Jade staring at me with a smirk on her face and one eyebrow raised.. Jade and I had a way of communicating without words. I knew exactly what she was thinking. I gave her a slight smile and she rolled her eyes playfully and started listening to Sikowitz lesson again.
I was relieved when the bell rang because I was starving for lunch. I walked out of class by myself because the gang was talking to Sikowitz about something. Im pretty sure they're talking about the new play. As I walked to my locker I hummed "My Moment" by Rebecca Black to myself. I know everybody does not like her but her new song makes me happy. "Dreams can come true" I silently whispered to myself. I put in my combination and opened my locker. I put my books in and smiled at the picture's I hung up. One of me Beck, Robbie, and Andre. My boys. It was the night we went to Karaoke Dokie for like, the seventh time. They were sitting next to each other and I was on they're laps with my legs extended. That was a really good night. Me and Jade sang "Give It Up" together once again. I love being on stage, hearing the audience cheer for us, and when we got off stage a little girl came up to me and asked me for my autograph. I got down to her level and happily signed. I had practiced my signature practically my entire life and was proud it was finally coming to use. Her mom wanted a picture so I put my arm around her waist and pulled her closer to me and gave a very happy smile. Once the picture was taken the girl turned to me. "You're my inspiration. I wanna be just like you when I grow up" Who knew a little girl could make me so happy.
"Daydreaming again Little red?" Andre inturupted my flashback.
"Oh, hey!" I smiled at him. "Ya, I guess I need to work on that."
Andre chuckled "Coming to lunch?" Andre extended his hand attempting to point to the cafeteria, but accidentally hit Sinjin in the face.
"Oh sorry, man" Andre looked down at him where he was laying face down on the floor.
"It happens" He replied still face down on the floor.
Andre and I looked at each other awkwardly, and then we stepped over Sinjin and headed towards lunch. On our way there Tori came running up to us excitedly. "Hey, guys Im going to a singing audition this Saturday!" Of course. Perfect Tori Vega gets everything. Don't get me wrong, I love Tori, but she really does get everything. I would never tell her that though because she is very talented but sometime I wish other peoples talents would get a chance at the big time like she does. Maybe someone like me. "That's so exciting!" I responded. I really was excited for her. We all sat down at the table Robbie, Beck, and Jade were sitting at. We listened to Tori talk about her audition the entire lunch. We all are very excited for her but she always goes to auditions. I layed my chin on Beck's shoulder. It was like a best friend thing we did with each other. It doesn't bother Jade because she doesn't find me a threat to Beck. He polked me in the stomach because he knows how ticklish I am. I half shrieked half giggled and took my chin off his shoulder. The rest of the day dragged on and on and on, with more daydreaming. The last bell finally rang and I ran out of the classroom and to the Black Box Theatre. I opened the big heavy doors, and looked around the entire place. Perfect. No one's in here. I sat down at the piano set out on the stage and gently started playing .
This is my moment, my moment
I played a slowed version of my favorite song.
It's my time, flying high, limelight
Feels like my moment, my moment
I've waited for so long but now everybody
knows this is moment.
I played the last notes of the song, sighed , but gently rested my hands on the keys. "Im gonna be big" I encouraged myself. "Someday. I will." I looked at my watch. 4:30. Better get home to start my homework. I grabbed my backpack. And walked out of the classroom. Oh Hey! Tomorrow's Friday!
