Chapter I
Susie was so nervous. The big state-wide talent show was coming up. She awaited the day that the sign up sheet was posted.
"Is it up yet?" Susie asked Kimi.
"How would I know?" Kimi wondered.
"Well!" she walked off.
"Wait up!" Kimi ran after her, "Do you know what song you going to sing?"
"No! I think it might be 'Mirror'." Susie said.
"Good choice." she smiled.
Susie walked over to the bulliten board. She peared at every sheet.
"Yes it's up!" she shouted. "Oh my gosh!"
"What?" Kimi asked.
"This year's prize is $1,000! Do you know how much that would help towards college?" Susie's eyes wideden.
"You're in 7th grade and already worring about college!" Kimi smerked. Susie rolled her eyes.
Susie couldn't wait to get home to reherse. She sat looking the clock in every class.
It was finally the last period of the day. Right when the bell rang, she dashed out of the class room to her locker then home.
She sprinted all the way home. When Susie got there, she went straight to her room, flipped through her cds and pulled one out. Susie put it into her cd player. She stood up and began to sing.
"Look in the mirror, tell me what I see. All the things that I could be." Susie got bored with the song. She popped it into her computer.
"I need to update the song." she told herself. She remixed the song and burnt the new song on cd.
Susie now put this version into her boom box.
"L-l-l-l-look in the mirror, tell me what I see. A-a-a-all of the things that I could be." She rapped, "Yes! That is more like it!"
Susie practiced some dance moves to back up the song. She was happy that she took those hip hop dance lessons earlier this year. Susie hopped onto her bed and wiped the sweat off her forhead.
"I am going to rock the crowd!" she smiled.
