Chapter 2: I'm Not That Good
Tori's POV
"Tori!" Yelled Cats voice, piercing through the silence. I turned my face to see the perky red head running up towards me. As soon as she saw my expression she simmered down. She took a seat on the stair next to me.
"Tori? What's wrong? You got chosen for the big solo!" she cried giving me a big hug. Cat's hugs were always warm and helpful, but today i just didn't feel like hugs. I pushed her off gently, and said in a heavy voice
"Cat, I can't sing. And i am not going to embarrass myself on national television." Yup tv. In Sikowitz's class we had a long discussion on how PBS is going to film the concert.
"Tori, you are an amazing singer. If you weren't, you wouldn't be here." she said just like Jade said when i was running out. I stood up frustrated.
"Why does everyone keep saying that? Yes, I'm here...but that was a...i don't know what is was, but i just know I'm not good!" Cat stared at me with disappointment.
"You don't know what your saying Tori." she said in a deep serious voice that i never heard from her before. She pulled out something from her bag. A tape recorder. She pressed play, and a beautiful voice filled the room. When it finished, Cat looked at me.
"Who was that?" I asked her. She raised her hand and pointed a finger in my direction. I glanced behind me to see if someone was there, but it was just me.
"Me?"
"Yes you! You sound amazing Tori!" she cried waving her hands over the tape recorder as if she was a game show host.
"I don't know Cat. I mean I'm good but, I don't think I'm that good." I murmured, shoving my hands into my jacket pockets. Cat shook her head.
"Come with me." she said pulling my wrist.
She dragged me to the Black Box Theatre. The curtain was down and it was just us on the stage. She sat down at the piano and started to play a soft tune. Make it Shine. I stood up a little straighter and opened my mouth to sing. "Here I am...once again...feeling lost but now and then...i breathe it in to let it go..."
I was in the groove. By the time the song ended I was belting out the last note as hard as i could. Cat stood up and clapped wildly. I took a little curtsy and smiled.
"So will you do it?" she asked hopefully. She was playing with her rings which usually was a sign that she was worried.
"I don't know..." I started, but i was cut off by...cheering? I ran to stage left and pulled the curtain up. My eyes widened and my mouth dropped. Sikowitz, the principle, Jade, Beck, Robbie, Rex, Andre, and Sinjin were all sitting clapping for me. Jade even shot me a thumbs up.
"So what about now?" yelled Beck from the audience. I couldn't let my friends or my school down.
"Ok. I'll do it."
Cheers erupted in the theatre, as i took a bow and Cat closed the curtain. No turning back now, I thought.
Sorry, guess i kinda lied. it wasn't long. lol. like i said i create things and put limits on my creativity. i'm weird like that. lol. R&R
