The last chapter. The Grand Finale! The end of the first! Okay, enough from me.
Oh! The last bit is to show what they've been doing for their act. You don't have to read it unless you want to put some music on and follow along with it.
The talent show was ready to start. We were last on the list, and that usually meant that we may be the best of the best. You never want to end a show with a bad performance. As the second act was going on, there was a cry out in the distance.
"Hey! Let me through!" A female voice ordered.
"You're not even supposed to be here!" Another performer yelled.
I knew that voice, thought it sometimes sickened me. "Let her through!" I ordered. The performer stepped aside and I saw Ella Montresor standing at the entrance. "What are you doing here?"
"Is that anyway to speak to a former competitor?" She asked. I just looked at her. "Okay, the first thing is that I came to see you perform. I wanted to see what you all was gonna give me if we faced off. The second thing is that... well... I wanted to apologize."
"Ella want's to say she's sorry?" I looked back at the area where everyone else was standing. "Hey, guys! Get over here!" They pulled their attention toward me and came over. All was surprised to see Ella standing before them.
"What's she doing here?!" Marlina demanded.
"Hold on, guys. She says she want's to apologize." Everyone looked at her, like expecting the impossible.
I saw Ella swallow, and hard. Obviously, she didn't do this often. "I'm sorry I put the school in discord. I just wanted things to happen the way I wanted, and, Jane, Luke, I wasn't trying to kill you. I just wanted to embarrass you for a while, not go that far."
"You mean that?" Jake asked.
"Every word." I could tell she was telling the truth. Tears was filling in her eyes.
"Then we accept your apology," Jane said, caringly. "Right?"
"Yeah, of course," Freda said with a smile.
"I believe," Mark added.
"I ask you forgive me for my outburst," Marlina pleaded.
"Given," Ella smiled. "Well, I'll give my ticket to the front and watch you. Don't let me down and break a leg." With that, she left.
"Break a leg?" Jake asked.
"She means good luck," Freda explained.
"Well, that's something coming from her," Jane mentioned.
"Then we can't hold back can we?" I asked. "The best of the best, so was said, expects us to dazzle her. LET'S SHOW THIS SCHOOL TRUE WILDCAT SPIRIT!!!"
The stage was set as we took our places behind the curtain. I looked around to see if everyone was ready. The look on their faces was confident, which reassured me. I was just waiting for when the principal will stop talking. "So for our final act, I am proud to announce six of your fellow students singing "We're All in This Together," Luke Collin, Jane Corral, Mark King, Freda Marlianna, Jake Wolfen, and Marlina Song!"
