Chapter 11
When I arrived back in the room all three of my roommates decided to bombard me with questions about why I had left dinner. I had told them I didn't feel well and left. (They didn't believe me.) I then turned my answer around into the truth which took only five minutes to explain since no one dared interrupt me or else it would take longer and we had to go to bed.
The next morning I went to the official dress rehearsal to find only a few people in the auditorium compared to how many there was supposed to be. They had almost all quit so we needed to come up with some new performers or people to do more so I decided to do a second song, signed Zach up for a second song, and both of us for a second duet. I also saw Claire Brady (yes professor Brady is her grandmother) sign up to also do a second song. I decided since we needed more performers I would go either blackmail or just convince some teachers into performing. I successfully got my dad to sign up for two songs, and a duet with me. However I had to blackmail my mom, Abby, and Joe into it but all three ended up signed up for 2 songs each, 2 duets, and a surprise Abby talked me and my mom to do a song with her so we could have a Cameron trio reunion (we performed together at the fair when I was 10 just the 3 of us it was to "Our Lips Are Sealed" so that was the song we planned to do) which brought back some hilarious memories.
The next thing I knew my brothers were signing up to sing a group song with our dad, Zach, and Joe. My mom and dad had signed up for 2 duets she and my dad used to do during the karaoke weekends before everyone went MIA. Tomorrow would bring back so many great memories of the past and show what the now and future holds.
Next thing I knew it was almost time to leave for dinner which seemed like it would take forever. Luckily Zach was going to be coming with us since the dinner was purposely for my grandparents to meet the new members of the family. We decided that we would tell the entire family at the exact same time about our engagement which would come to a close by the end of the next summer. We left the school and drove to the local pizza shop ten minutes away. When we arrived I noticed my grandparents sitting at the longest table in the place since we needed it considering there was ten people and it seated twelve comfortably. As we ate I noticed three things that I had never seen before, A) my parents were laughing at stories my grandparents told about when my mom and aunt were little, B) how well everyone got along especially when all 5 of our friends showed up because they were wondering how everyone reacted when we told them the news. Which we had not yet. and C) Everyone appeared to be way happier than I expected when we told them. We also told my grandparents about the baby.
I had decided to not leave early since it was basically just everyone in the restaurant and Claire. We had a great time while it lasted and then planned another dinner so we could all have another fun day together after the show was done. The next day after all the songs had been performed and a majority of the people left the school we were all alone we started setting up for the wedding that would be happening in the next week.
