So sorry I haven't posted in a while, I've had a few things to do and a bit of a writers block. I haven't had any ideas on what to write :( I will do my best to bring my imagination back to life, and I'll update a lot more! Thank you for still reading and reviewing! I love reading what you think. Here's a long chapter for you. :) xx
It was a nice sunny morning in Scotland today suprisingly, as it's usually cold.
Lexi was getting ready for school with her music blasting in her headphones. She put her shirt on and then her tie.
She quickly did her hair, she couldn't be bothered today so she just put it into a scruffy pony tail, her hair suited her messy though.
She quickly added a bit of make-up and left.
Today was 'Waterloo Road Talent Show' Lexi wanted to perform, she just wasn't sure. She had a bit of time to think about it though.
She arrived at school being greeted by Kevin, Connor, Dynasty and Imogen. Kevin and Dynasty started getting on lately which was a good thing.
"Morning babe." Dynasty smiled.
"Alright." Lexi replied.
"How are you?" Imogen asked.
"Good, you?" She replied.
"Fantastic." Imogen smiled.
They had a free period first thing so they headed straight to the common room and sat down.
"So, who's performing at the talent show today?" Lexi questioned.
"Me and Dynasty are, we're dancing." Imogen replied, smiling.
"Cool, good luck." Lexi huffed.
"What about you?" Dynasty asked.
"Nah, got nothing to do." Lexi replied.
"What about singing? You're a brilliant singer." Connor smiled.
"Huh, no thank you." Lexi frowned.
"What's up with you today? You're in a right mood." Kevin spoke.
"Nothing, and no I'm not." Lexi snapped.
"Right, whatever." Kevin laughed.
"Oh fuck off." Lexi shouted, walking off.
She headed for the toilets and sat and cried. Something was up with her, she just didn't want to tell anyone.
"Lex, are you okay babes?" Dynasty asked.
"Not really, but who cares." Lexi sniffled.
"We do, come on tell us what's wrong." Imogen replied.
Lexi opened the toilet door and decided to talk.
"I'm just pretty tired, and my mum is quite sick and I can't go and see her and I'm really worried.
"Aw babes, whu didn't you tell us before? We'd have been here for you. Is this why you won't perform at the talent show? And why can't you see her?" Dynasty said, giving Lexi a hug.
"I don't know, and yeah. And because she lives in Australia." Lexi replied, wiping her eyes.
"All the more reason to perform then, do it for your mum, she'll be proud of you. And she'll be fine knowing she's got a strong talented daughter like you." Imogen reassured Lexi.
"Okay, I'll do it, and strong? Look at me, how is this strong?" Lexi giggled.
The girls just laughed with her.
"Come on, we'd better get ready. Did you bring spare clothes to change for when you perform?" Dynasty asked.
"Yeah, I bought some just incase." Lexi smiled.
"Well, what did you bring then?" Imogen laughed.
"My blue Minnie Mouse jumper, my black shorts and my blue pumps. And don't worry, I'll sort my hair out too, haha." Lexi replied, with a smile.
"Wow, you'll look great, you can win our Barry over with that, and a perfect song." Dynasty winked.
"Err, I don't think so." Lexi joked.
"Aw, come on, we all know you like him." Imogen laughed.
Lexi did like Barry, she was just too scared to admit it.
It was lunch time now, which meant it was only an hour and half until the talent show. Lexi still hadn't chosen a song yet. She definitely had to choose a song she already knew all the words to.
Lexi was getting extremely nervous so she made sure she had something good to eat so she wasn't feeling sick.
Lunch had finished and everyone had to start getting ready.
"Oi, you two, help I haven't picked a song yet." Lexi shouted to Imogen and Dynasty.
"Well you'd better hurry." Dynasty replied.
"Genius, Sherlock." Lexi answered.
"Well what do you want to sing?" Imogen questioned.
"Well I don't know duh, I'd have chose a song if I knew." Lexi spat.
"Okay, calm down. We'll quickly figure it out." Imogen replied.
Lexi had no idea what she wanted to sing, but she had to decide, and fast.
Lexi, Imogen and Dynasty were going through there phones trying to decide what to sing.
"Wait, I've found the perfect song." Lexi smiled.
"What?" Dynasty replied.
"Fix You, by Coldplay, it's always been my favourite song and I love it." Lexi asnwered.
"Do you know all the words?" Imogen smiled.
"Yeah, every single one." Lexi replied, with a big smile.
"Woo, we've gotta go on in a minute so you keep practising until we're done. Good luck babe, see you soon." Dynasty smiled.
"Thank you, good luck to you two, as well. You'll smash it." Lexi replied.
Imogen and Dynasty went on stage and started dancing, whilst Lexi was practising.
Imogen and Dynasty had now finished, they didn't seem to be on for very long. Lexi's nerves were now starting to hit her as the girls came back stage.
"Go on Lex, you'll smash it babe." Dynasty smiled.
Lexi went up to the stage ready to go on.
"And now welcome Lexi Simpson." Mr Lowesly said.
Lexi walked on stage really nervous. She decided to block the nerves out and started to sing.
"When you try your best but you don't succeed, when you get what you want but not what you need, when you feel so tired but you can't sleep, stucking in reverse." Lexi sang.
The whole audience started cheering, and Lexi smiled.
"And the tears come streaming down your face, when you lose something you can't replace, when you love someone but it goes to waste, could it be worse." She continued.
"Wow, she's amazing." Imogen and Dynasty said.
Lexi finished the song with "Lights will guide you home, and ignite your bones, and I will try to fix you."
Everyone stood up and cheered, even the teachers. Lexi felt on top of the world. She smiled, and thanked the audience and walked off stage.
"Ah, I did it, omg." Lexi screamed.
"Omg, you were absolutely amazing!" Both Imogen and Dynasty smiled.
"Thank you guys." Lexi replied with a huge smile.
The three hugged and went on stage to find out who won the competition.
"And the winner of this years talent show is... LEXI SIMPSON!" Mr Lowesly shouted.
"Woooooooooo!" The whole crowd screamed.
Lexi couldn't believe it, she actually won the competition.
She collected her trophy and thanked everyone.
Lexi was over the moon and really happy, she actually did something well for once.
