A.N I actually wrote this a while back before I actually had the guts to put it up. I hope you guys enjoy this musical adventure Enjoy and Review!
Chapter 1.
"When I was young I never needed anyone" All by myself~ Celine Dion
Lyric
You know how they say that a musical genius only comes around once every lifetime? Well, I feel like that's me. I am one of the greats from Etta James to Marilyn Monroe to Adele; I know my name belongs up there with them... As soon I can sing in front of people without vomiting, I'll be good.
It's the first day of school and I can care less about the other teachers talking about what we're going to be learning this year and handing out syllabuses, which I don't know why I mean they know I'm going to lose it.
I'm just counting minutes until show choir rehearsal. I guess I should explain myself before I start my story.
My name is Lyrical Pandore (But I'd prefer it if you called me Lyric or Pancake if you must.) and the reason my parents named me that is because everyone in my family are singers, not famous but at least locally known and whenever given the opportunity to sing, we jump at it. Well, except me because I have a huge stage fright problem, but I'm hoping show choir can cure that.
The only people who know I can sing is my sister, Melody, who is super pretty and can sing her tiny bird heart out (I say bird because that's what I call her because she's so short) and my like-a-brother cousin Perseus, who we call Percy, he can't sing but he is literally the fastest rapper I know. He's a freshman in Goode High School for the exceptionally benefited in academic studies (which means school for the really smart kids) too. But my sister Melody is a sophomore so I only see her during glee.
I walked into the glee room and I'm already ecstatic. I see my two best friends, Rachel and Annabeth; they wave me over shouting my name like I'm not 2 feet away.
"Oh my Gushers it's Lyric. Ring the alarm! We got the dream team over here" Rachel says she drags her "r" at the end and makes police sounds. In any other class this would be the weirdest thing ever but this is glee it was made for over-eccentric weird kids like us.
"You know that's right! This is going to be our year, you guys! Lets show them how to do it right!" I say and we all burst in hysterical laughter.
"Lyric, you do know this is a class where you have to sing, right?" Annabeth says, confused.
"Yes I know you have to sing in this class. Do you know that?"
"Of course, its just we were wondering if you can…"
"Can what?" I say
"If you can sing" Rachel burst out, Annabeth elbowed her in the ribs.
"Yes I can to sing, so no need to worry"
"It's just we never heard you sing before so we don't know that's all" Annabeth says worried
"Don't worry Anna-Brain, I got this."
"Okay, I trust you"
"Good."
We sat there talking about summer and weird stuff before auditions started. I look at the door and see this boy walking with Percy. He has deep brown eyes and black curls that stop right above his eyebrows. And he was really, really cute, I can't stress that enough.
"Hey girls!"
"'Sup Perce" me and Rachel say
"H-hey P-P-Percy" Annabeth says almost hyperventilating. She and Percy have liked each other since they've met, which was when we were in 2nd grade.
"Hey Annabeth" Percy says quietly
"Hey Percy!" the boy beside him finally speaks, his voice like velvet smooth. "Aren't you going to introduce me to your cute friend?"
"ANNABETH?!" Percy says in climbing rage.
"Umm…no, Her." He says pointing at me
"HER?" Percy says so surprised it almost offended me but I was surprised too.
"Me?"
"Yeah. 'Sup."
"'Sup"
"Ooo! I feel tingly" Rachel whispers to Annabeth and you cant help but laugh at her craziness.
"Oh. Ummm… Leo this is Lyric, Lyric this is Leo"
"Lyric? That's a weird name"
"I'm a weird person." I said through my teeth. I hated when people talked about how weird my name is. They act like I chose it.
"Its ok though, I happen to think it's a pretty sexy name"
I look at him and though my heart is fluttering
I decide to play it cool and have a little fun.
"Ummm… No thanks" I say
"No thanks? What's that suppose to mean?"
"It means that I know exactly what type of guy you are. You're the type that thinks he's so cute and so hot that he can just have his pick at the girls whichever and whenever. And I sorry but I'm not that type of girl who fawns all over a guy. So thanks but no thanks."
"And I'm not the type of guy who does that" Leo says, glaring at me
"Highly unlikely" I say glaring back.
"Alright than take your seats. We have so many of you auditioning today. But know that you we have to audition in front of everyone and Ms. Lupa and I will decide who makes it in. Alright, the topic for this year's audition is you will each pick an emotion out of the hat and you will have 30 minutes to find a song that expresses that emotion. Good? Alright let's do it!" Mr. Mann (who likes to be called Chiron.) says and we all line up to pick our emotions
Percy is first person I know that's up
"I got Guilt." he says to us
"That's a hard one. I'll help you if you want." I say, reassuring him.
"Thanks lil' cuz" He says, patting my head.
"We're the same age." I shout after him
Leo is up next.
"I got Love"
"Lucky!" Rachel says and she goes next
"I got whimsy!" she says doing an excited dance
"Of course you would, Rachel" Annabeth says than she goes up. "I got Acceptance. What's that suppose to mean?"
"It's okay I'll help you find a song Anna-Brain" Percy says and she can't help but smile.
"Well, guess I'm next" I say and start to walk up there when I feel a hand on my shoulder.
"Good luck" Leo says and my heart melts like butter.
I walk up there and there's only one card left.
"Loneliness" it reads and I already knew the perfect song.
Review if I should continue!
