Emma stood in the center of the stage, looking out at the audience. This was it, her big solo number. She drew in a breath and belted.
Guess
mine is not the first heart broken,
My eyes are not the first to
cry.
I'm not the first to know there's just no getting over
you.
I know
I'm just a fool who's willing,
To sit around and wait for
you.
But baby can't you see there's nothing else for me to
do
I'm hopelessly devoted to you
But now there's nowhere
to hide,
Since you pushed my love aside.
I'm outta my head
hopelessly devoted to you,
Hopelessly devoted to you,
Hopelessly
devoted to you.
My head is saying fool forget him
My
heart is saying don't let go
Hold on to the end, thats what I
intend to do,
I'm hopelessly devoted to you .
But now
there's nowhere to hide,
Since you pushed my love aside.
I'm
outta my head hopelessly devoted to you.
Hopelessly devoted to
you,
Hopelessly devoted to you.
She felt sick. 'Just let the applause wash over you.' She thought. 'When the applause is gone, you can go off stage and be sick.' The applause ended and she ran off stage.
"Emma that was wonderful." Ms. Kwan said.
"Thanks." Emma forced a smiled and went to change into her next costume.
"Emma, can we talk." It was Hazel.
"Go ahead."
"I'm sorry. There's not much else I can say. I just-I've always liked Jimmy, and I-I wanted to see if there was anything between us."
"Was there?" Emma was eager to know.
"Nope." Hazel didn't seem too disapointed.
"I don't know if I can ever forgive him though, you know?"
"Emma, you're the sweetest person I've ever met, and if your heart tells you Jimmy should be forgiven, then you'll forgive him. Listen to your heart." Hazel walked off.
"So heart, whadda you say?" Emma asked herself.
