Hey sorry that I haven't updated in awhile. Been busy with school, volleyball, and doing the work around the house because my mom right now is in Germany. Hoping that the next chapter won't take as long as this one. But I am not making any promises. Thanx for all the reviews!

Chapter 6- Time of realization.
At 12:30 the front of the auditorium was starting fill with the students that weren't in the memorial ceremony began to get seated along with the teachers. Behind them sat the parents sat parents and friends. Standing or sitting behind parents and friends, where all the clubs. All except the choir, who where waiting in the hall for everyone to get settled. When everyone was settled the choir class and Mrs. Wood walked down in an orderly fashion to the raisers. (A/N I came up with this name before I started school this year. And the weirdest thing is that Mrs. Wood is the name of my choir teacher!)
"Please stand for the national anthem," Mrs. Wood said to the people sitting. The whole sang the song then walked to the back of the auditorium after everyone was done applauding. As they walked the curtain opened and the drama club put on a small play. Miranda was singing a background song with a couple of others. After they where done the principal walked to the stage.
"Good afternoon students, family members, and friends. It is nice to see you on this sad day. For this day is the second year anniversary of September 11, 2001. On the wall are posters and pictures from clubs and groups that couldn't think of what to do. Now the cheerleaders will perform followed by the slid show by the computer club then the choir class again." 'Okay this is a memorial ceremony so why are they cheering?' Lizzie though while the cheerleaders where performing.
The slid show was awesome, but sad. There were so many pictures of that sad day. As the choir class walked back down Lizzie thought, 'How can I do this? I know that Gordo and Miranda are behind me like my parents and their parents but I'm so nervous.' Lizzie passed Gordo on her way down. " Lizzie you can do this all you have to do is believe in your heart," Gordo said in a whisper. "Thanks Gordo," Lizzie whispered back.
Before Lizzie solo piece the whole choir sang a song together. When they where finished Lizzie stepped foreword taking the microphone that Mrs. Wood handed her. Lizzie looked at the people sitting in seats as well as standing. Then looked at Gordo who gave her an encouraging nod.
At that moment Lizzie really understood. It wasn't only friendship her heart should hold while singing. It was also the love of her country and the love she held for someone special.
Well I'm leaving you with a cliffhanger. But don't worry the next chapter you are going to love! Sorry that this was short. I am getting started on it right away. And that's going to be a promise!
