Chapter 3, Pretend
Ok i am really bored with this story...Who else is?Well ive decided that im letting my sister Katie take over.
Hi my name is Katie! I am 12 years old and I hope you enjoy this fiction! Be easy on the reviews because I'm writing for the first time here!
"Uh---um---Em?" Manny said, stifling laughter. Emma looked so determined!
"I mean it, Manny! You're a great singer! I really think you could win!" Emma raised her voice a little.
"Thanks, but what are you talking about?" Manny asked, shaking her damp hair out.
Emma sighed and walked back to her room. She sat down on the bed while Manny changed. "There is this show in America, but it's for Canada too, and like people audition and perform on stage to win money! I've watched it before on pey per view and you are a better singer than some of those kids!"
Manny listened to Emma's idea silently as she pulled a XXXL Save the Rainforest t-shirt over her head. Usually it's me who has the crazy ideas!
"So Emma, your saying, that us, 2 fourteen year old girls barely into high school are going to get me on TV and win?" Despite what was coming out of her mouth, Manny was beginning to like the idea.
(Daydream)
"Ok, Manny," Emma said. "You can do this, just don't forget to smile and move around a lot!" Emma gave Manny a push as her name was called. Manny slipped out of the curtain and ontot he dark stage. She stared down at her shimmery outfit as she waited for the lights to burst on and the music to blare.
She heard the beginning of her song and rose from her position, facing the silent crowd. Suddenly a huge smile split her face in two and she began singing............................................
"First Place goes to-"
"Manny! Have you heard a word I've said? You've been standing there and staring into the hall!"
Emma scolded.
"What? Oh, sorry," Manny looked down-she was holding the brush as if it were a microphone. She quickly made her way to Emma's bed. She sat down in front of her and handed Emma the brush.
"So, I know it seems far fetched, but I have all of the information!" Emma ran the brush down Manny's black hair. "You have to sing I Will Survive and send it in on a video tap-"
"My father would never let me do that in a million years!" Manny interjected.
"He doesn't have to know. Just let me finish. You have to answer 3 questions-How long you have been doing your talent, Who is your role model and why do you want to win."
"Emma, this is a pretty big thing. We would have to have a camera, and, and, a stage, and, we're only 14, we would need help," Manny turned around to face her best friend.
"I know.............................................Well, even if it is far fetched, we can still try-or at least pretend," Emma smiled. "Here, I printed out the words. Come with me." Emma led Manny to the computer room. She clicked play on the Kazaa music player and handed Manny the words.
Manny raised her eyebrows. Then the music came on. "I know this song! I sang it in third grade at the talent competition!"
"Manny, go!" Emma urged.
"Ok, ok!...........At first I was afraid, I was petrified!"
Manny sounded excellent! "Thinkin' I could never live without you by my side."
Her fear seemed to go away and she realised she ws just going to have fun with it. She strutted around and added motions. "Then i spent so many nights thin' how you did me wrong, and I grew strong. I learned how to carry on! Go on now GO!" Manny threw the words down and twirled. Her voice was clear and strong, even on the high notes. She seemed to like performing. She was really good at emphasis too......................................................"Aren't you the one who tried to hurt me with good bye you think I'd crumble? D' ya think I'd lay down and DIE!......................."
Emma clapped and laughed the whole way through, and when Manny was finally done, they both laughed so hard for a long time, not noticing that Sarah had been at the door the whole time, listening and watching..........
"You know what Manny? We're only 14. We have the whole rest of our lives to be pros. LEt's just have fun and forget about fame for tonight."
Manny agreed and then they both raced into the kitchen and raided the fridge.
I hope you are enjoying me so far! I was so worried you won't like me! Well, I was supposed to be doing the laundry and now my mom is mad so the 4th chapter probably won't be up until later tonight! Byes!
R&R! Katie
