Chapter Eleven
It was halfway through the school year and the school was getting ready to have a school talent show. I wanted to do the talent show, but I get too nervous and then I faint. This happens every time I get up onstage. Alex saw me staring at the bulletin board and motioned Sam to look at me. They whispered something to each other. Then Alex got up and headed to the bulletin board. She signed and then came back.
"Alex, I never knew you were one for talent shows." I said.
"I'm not, but YOU are." she said.
"What name did you put on the sheet?" I asked.
"Yours." she said.
"Why?" I asked in disbelief.
"Because you have an amazing talent and we think that everyone should know. Plus, remember all of the times that Mandy and Mindy had made fun of you when we were little? Imagine what would happen if you won first place." she said with a devious smile planted on her face.
"True. Fine. I'll do it." I said giving up. "Oh yeah, what do you mean by we, when you said 'we think that everyone should know' ?"
"Sam and I." she said bluntly.
I hadn't noticed that the guys arrived to our table until I heard Blaine say "You'll do what?"
"Jeez, Blaine don't do that to me. You scared the life out of me." I said nearly jumping out of my seat when I heard his voice.
"Sorry." he said. Then he threw and apologetic smile my way. "So…you'll do what?"
"Oh…um…I'm gonna do the talent show." I said a little embarrassed.
"Nice." he said. They sat down and began to eat their lunch.
When school was over everyone headed home. This time Blaine and the guys didn't go with us to our house. When we arrived Sam and Alex asked me what I was going to do for the talent show. I said that I didn't know. They suggested a lot of things, but none of them sounded like it was what I was good at. Then Normy suggested that I sing. Sam and Alex agreed. The three of them had heard me sing before, but none of the teenagers in my school have. Mandy and Mindy, also, haven't heard me sing.
When everyone went to bed, I headed downstairs to get a midnight snack. I grabbed a bowl, the carton of ice cream from the freezer and head to the counter. When I put a decent amount of ice cream, I put the carton away and headed to the table. I sat there eating my ice cream. Wondering what I was going to do for the talent show.
