I felt sweat on my hands, so I whipped them on my dress. Then I heard Miley call Lexis name. Lexis turned and gave me a smile, then walked out.
"Samantha Manson." Miley said in the microphone and my heart dropped. I walked out on stage and planted a smile on my face and did my pageant walk that I was practicing for weeks. The lights were shining on me and I could barely see, I looked and saw Lexis in line with the other girls, so I walked to her and stood next to her while the others were being called.
"Ladies and gentleman, our contestant!" Miley cheered into the microphone and the audience cheered,
"Now to introduce our judges, first there's Penny Greenwood, last year's winner. Miley said and everyone cheered and everyone on stage clapped, along with me.
"Next there's Justin Griffin." Again, cheer and claps.
"Vanessa Uribe." Cheering and clapping.
"Amity Parks major Tucker Foley." Cheering and clapping.
"And last, but not least, Amity Parks hero, Danny Phantom." I pretty sure he got the most cheering.
"Now, while our girls get ready for the swimsuit portion." A lot of cheers and whistles can from the crowed, I rolled my eyes. "I'm going to explain what will happen to the winner of the pageant."
We started walking off and I headed back to my mirror to find Jamie.
"Where's Raven?" I asked
"She had to pee, now hurry up and change and take off the jewelry." She ordered.
As I was doing that I could hear Miley over the speakers. I guess the winner has to do a whole bunch of stuff for the community and get a $100,000 scholarship for any college.
After I had on the black string bikini I ran into Paulina, who was wearing a one piece that has two big circles on the side showing her stomach.
"Wow, who knew she had a figure." Paulina snapped.
"OMG, Paulina, are you gaining weight, I thing I see some fat coming out of those circles in your suit." I snapped back.
"I am not!"
"Whatever slut, I got a pageant to win." I pushed her out of my way and headed to the line. There are 50 girls in the pageant, so there going in groups of 10 so when they get off they can change for our question portion, which will happen in the same groups as the swim suites, then talent, the announce the winners. I was in group three, with Paulina, o joy.
She called my group and we walked out with our pretty smiles. I heard whistles, I mean; two of the most popular girls in school were on stage.
We got on the stage, turned around so they could see all of us, and I think I could smell Danny's rage from here.
After that I went back to the dressing room and changed into my dress for the questions. Raven and Jamie were there holding my dress out already. It was a red silk gown that went straight to the floor and showed off my figure. Raven re applied my make-up and put my jewelry back on.
"Now remember, answer the questions in a good way, not the Sam was." Raven said.
"Of course, because what they want to hear is sooooo much better them the truth." I said sarcastically.
"Good luck with that Sam, and don't blow it." Jamie said and I got up and went back in line.
My group walk on stage after a while and sat in the chairs that's were set up for us to sit in. After a few people the next question was for Paulina.
"Next question is for Paulina Sanchez." Miley said. "What do you describe as a perfect date?"
"That's easy Miley, May 25." She said with a smile and I almost feel out of my seat with laughter, but I held it in. "It's a nice day, and the end of school."
The audience erupted with laughter. "Well, that wasn't the answer I was looking for, but, it will do. Next is for Samantha Manson. Describe your idea of love."
I took a deep breath. "Love, words can't describe it, but I can't try. Love is patient, is kind, does not envy, does not boast, is not proud, is not rude, is not self-seeking, is not easily angered, keeps no record of wrongs, does not delight in evil, rejoices with truth, always protects, always trust, always hopes, always perseveres, and never fails. Thoes words only start to decribe it."
"Sounds like you know a lot about love." Miley smiles.
"I'm in love, and I love my friends and family." I smile and blow a kiss at Danny, he catched it and kissed his hand, I giggled.
Miley asked everyone else there question and then we were done and we walked off stage and to the dressing rooms. Raven and Jamie was there holding my black dress for my talent, which was singing, yes. I also changed my jewerly into pearls.
"Remember, you have to press this button on your hip sp your dress will change colors." Raven reminded me.
"Ok, thanks guys." I said and changed into it. I walked back to the line and watched some people preform until it was my turn. I walked on the stage.
"Hello, I will be singing a song about what it would be like to be in the shoes of someone very close to me." Then the music started.
"If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a, bed of roses
Sink me in the river, at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song
Uh oh, uh oh
Lord make me a rainbow, I'll shine down on my mother
She'll know I'm safe with you when she stands under my colors, oh well
Life ain't always what you think it ought to be, no
Ain't even grey, but she buries her baby
The sharp knife of a short life, well
I've had just enough time
If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song
The sharp knife of a short life, well
I've had just enough time
And I'll be wearing white, (I click the button and my dress changes into white and the crowed is in awwed) when I come into your kingdom
I'm as green as the ring on my little cold finger,
(I look at Danny)
I've never known the lovin' of a man
But it sure felt nice when he was holdin' my hand,
There's a boy here in town, says he'll love me forever,
Who would have thought forever could be severed by
The sharp knife of a short life, well,
I've had just enough time
So put on your best boys and I'll wear my pearls
What I never did is done
A penny for my thoughts, oh no, I'll sell 'em for a dollar
They're worth so much more after I'm a goner
And maybe then you'll hear the words I been singin'
Funny when you're dead how people start listenin'
If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song
Uh oh (uh, oh)
The ballad of a dove (oh, uh)
Go with peace and love
Gather up your tears, keep 'em in your pocket
Save 'em for a time when you're really gonna need 'em, oh
The sharp knife of a short life, well
I've had just enough time
So put on your best boys and I'll wear my pearls"
The crowed erupted with cheer and almost everyone stood, inculding the jugdes.
"Thank you." I walked off stage and stayed to watch Paulina. She did a stupid cheer about herself.
I walked back to the dressing room and saw Raven and Jamie and they showered my wit hugs.
"You did amazing!" Raven shouted.
"I told you that you had a great voice just waiting to shine out!" Jaime cheered.
"Thanks guys, but I need to change." I said out of breath from the hugs.
"Oh, right, here, change." Jamie handed me my dress. It was a strapless white dress with gold sprakels and a gold belt.
"You guys can go to the audinence, I will see you after they anounce the winner." I told them.
"Ok, you sure." Jamie said.
"Positive." I smiled and walked into the line. About an hour later everyone had finished there talent and we had to go on stage to see who the winner was.
I ran into Paulina while going to line. "Sam, hows it feel to know that in a few minutes I will be sucking face with your boyfriend?" she smirked.
"How does it feel to know tomorrow know guy will even talk to you because of what I'm going to make you wear." I snapped back.
"In your dreams." She laughed.
"We'll see." I walk to my spot in line. We all walked out with smile on our faces.
"Well, it's been a long night, but before I announce the top five, lets give these nice young ladies a round of appluse." Miley said and everyone cheered, and everyone on stage clapped gracefully.
"Now, the top five are, in fifth place is, Danielle Weaver." Everyone clapped as Danielle stepped out of line and waved.
"In fourth place is, Star Jackson." Everyone clapped as Star stepped out of line and waved.
"In third place is, Lexis Lomba." I smiled as she stepped out of line and everyone cheered.
"Would Samatha Manson and Paulina Sanchez please step forward." Oh my luck, the final two would be me and the bitch.
"These are our top two ladies, and the runner up is…"
