Chapter 4
Try-outs
The day went by faster than I thought it would. Yesterday was terrible. I was late getting to school because we slept in to late at the Curtis's house. After last period I went straight to my locker which is decked out in Rush pictures, my mirror, helmet, pads, and skates, plus my mini calender. I had decided to skate to school today because I'm staying after for play try-outs, and Alex won't give me a ride home.
"Hey Stranger." Someone said as they came up next to me. And to my surprise it was Alex.
"What do you want?" That sounded kind of harsh, but he's never around anymore.
"You heard that some kids got beat up yesterday right?" I shook my head yes. "Well I don't want you to come home by your self tonight. Before you say anything I talked to A.J. and he said that he would walk you home."
"But"
"He also said he'd have some of the other guys stay."
"That's nice. But"
"I gotta go. I have a date."
"Alex"
"Good luck!" and with that he was gone. I grabbed my backpack and skate stuff, and headed to the Auditorium. On my way I ran into Jeff.
"You goin' to the aud.?" He asked
"Yeah. Are you trying out?
"No just gonna watch you and Janice." He replied. We walked into the Auditorium I went backstage to put my things down and get ready (Jeff went to sit in the audience). I sat next to Janice. The first group of people was Ron (baritone) Paul (tenor) Meghan (Alto) Janice (Soprano). One person from each group. They did some warm-ups then sang part of you raise me up from our last concert. When they were done there was a loud applause. 'A lot of people must have come to watch' I thought this as the lady in charge called out the next group.
"The Baritone will be Phil, Tenor; Cody, Alto; Ginny, Soprano; Emily." I hadn't thought that I would be going so soon. Janice wished me luck as I walked out. The directors were sitting in three chairs with a table write in front of the stage and a piano was off to the side. I all of the sudden noticed that there was a loud cheer from the audience. As I looked right in the very front row was everyone. I didn't think that a few guys included A.J., Jeff, RJ, Shawn, Chris, Ponyboy, Johnny, Steve, Sodapop, Two-bit, Dally, Pam, Nicole, Faye, and Megan. They were the only people in the audience. The chorus teacher; Miss. Carl went over to the piano and started with warm-ups.

Then we sang the song I will sing my song (rather appropriate huh)

In a song of praise
When we finished all the guys were cheering and whistling. Blushing I went back to my seat and waited for the other groups to finish. Miss Carl came backstage when they did and told us the list would be up tomorrow. I walked with Janice out to the parking lot. She unlocked her bike while I put on my skates.
"You were really good Wilson (her nickname)." I said
"Thanks you were to Emi-lert. I got to go. I'm gonna be late for dinner." I watched turn the corner. Then I heard them; they were like a pack of bees. First the guys came out doing tricks off the railing with their skateboards. Then the girls strolled out.
"That was awesome Em." Said R.J. as he slung his arm over my shoulder.
"Yeah you rock, if you sing like that why aren't you a singer for the band?" Two-bit asked
"I don't have a 'rock' voice." I replied, "How come so many of you guys stayed? Alex said it would be A.J. and a couple of guys."
"Well," A.J. started, " I asked Shawn and R.J. if they wanted to stay and Steve over heard and blabbed to everyone else." We started towards the park but quickly changed directions when Ponyboy reminded us that the crack heads as he put hang out there at dusk. The sixteen of us ended up going to Jeff's house. Jeff, A.J., Shawn, and I are in a band together. A.J. on lead guitar, Jeff on drums, Shawn on bass, and me on guitar (I can also play bass). We practice in Jeff's garage. So once we got there the four of us put on a mini show for the rest.
A/N Sorry if this was lame but I decided that since I haven't posted anything in a while that something was better than nothing. I need help with parings though because I think there might be some type of formal/informal dance. Be honest tell me what you think!
