YYYYY
"Hey Isabel! How was school?" asked a familiar voice when Isabel arrived home. "Uncle Jeremy?" Isabel screamed, dropped her bags at the doorstep and ran to the living room where she thought she heard his voice. "UNCLE!" Isabel screamed and hugged Jeremy tightly. "Hey Isabel! How are you?" asked Jeremy. "I'm good. I've missed you!" said Isabel happily. "So did I!" Jeremy laughed as he ruffled Isabel's hair. "Well, I better get going, I still need to practice some moves." said Isabel sadly. "Sure." Jeremy said and went back on the couch.
"Hey! How did auditions go?" asked Damon, reading a book in bed, as Isabel entered the room. "It was cool, they were kind of scary, though." said Isabel in an unusual tone. "Well, what did you sing?" Damon said, trying hard to make a conversation. "You'll Never Stand Alone." said Isabel blankly as she went to the bathroom. "That's nice." said Damon, finally giving up from trying to make a conversation.
Isabel went to their backyard. Still in her cheerleader uniform, bringing the CD player. She played the song once again and started doing her choreography, except now, it was much more faster and there were more steps added. She did the Scorpion Tail perfectly and she did a Split and Jumped Up again after two seconds. Everything was perfect. Damon was looking at her out the window, he was very proud of Isabel. She is very talented and she enjoys sharing her talent.
Isabel practiced for three hours and then went to eat dinner, changed into her pajamas and lay awake in their bed. She was replaying the auditions in her mind over and over until she finally fell asleep.
The next morning, Damon woke up again to find Isabel not in the bed anymore.
"Good morning!" greeted Isabel, trying to sound cheerful. "When are they giving the results of the auditions?" asked Damon. "Today." said Isabel blankly as the smile was wiped off her face. "Oh, good luck then." said Damon as he drank blood from the glass.
Isabel went back upstairs to their room and changed into her cheerleader uniform. She took her bag and went of to school.
"Bye dad!" yelled Isabel as she went out the door.
"Hey girl! Got any gossip?" asked Scarlett as she also took books out of her locker, which was right beside Isabel's. "Not much to talk about Scarlett, same old days." Isabel sighed. "Really? Are you sure there's nothing you want to tell me?" nagged Scarlett. "Seriously, I-" Isabel was cut off. "You're not even going to tell me that you joined that Show Choir club?" Scarlett said in an impatient tone. "Wha- How did you know about that?" asked Isabel nervously. "That doesn't really matter." said Scarlett, raising an eyebrow. "Listen Scarlett, I can explain-" Isabel, was once again, cut off by Scarlett. "No need. I understand everything perfectly well." Scarlett said as if she we're about to walk out. "Please Scarlett, just hear me out." Isabel begged. "I don't need any hearing you out, Isabel." Scarlett said in a very angry tone.
Isabel was very nervous. Will I lose my best friend at this moment? God, please no. Just let her hear me out. I don't want to lose anyone I trust outside my family. Especially Scarlett. Isabel's mind was going all fuzzy and she wasn't able to think straight. She was so scared that she might lose her very best friend.
"Ha! You should've seen the look on your face Isabel! You turned pale! I almost believed that you were going to faint any second!" laughed Scarlett. "Wait, what?" Isabel asked, confused. "I was just kidding! I'm perfectly fine with the fact that you're going to be joining Mystic Sing and Dance- Whatever you call that club! If that's what you want and that's what you enjoy then I'm going to support you with that. What are best friends for right?" Scarlett said as she hugged Isabel. "Geez Scarlett! For a moment there I thought the world was going to collapse on my shoulders!" Isabel let out a huge sigh of relief. "Oh we need to get to Physics class now. We're gonna be late." said Scarlett, smiling.
They finished Physics sooner than they expected. It was already recess. Isabel was standing nervously near the locked music room, waiting for Mrs. Judith to tell her their decision. Isabel wasn't the only one who auditioned for the club. There we're also three other students who auditioned, all of them new. Isabel was the earliest to arrive at the meeting place. The rest arrived fifteen minutes later.
"Good morning, students." greeted Mrs. Judith. "I am glad to see you all here on time." said Mrs. Judith with an unreadable expression on her face.
The four of them stood up immediately to greet Mrs. Judith back. They all followed Mrs. Judith into the Music Room as she lead them in.
"So, this is what we're going to do." Mrs. Judith paused. "I am holding your results right here in my hand. I will read out loud my comments about your choice of song and how you sang it. After that, I will say whether you got in, or not." said Mrs. Judith, smiling.
"Ready?" asked Mrs. Judith as she opened the envelope. "Okay, form a straight line please, that's it. Now, Ms. Beth Lopez, please step forward." said Mrs. Judith.
"I really liked the choice of your song. You sang Faithfully by Journey and it was a very good way to show the range and pitch of your voice. You sang it nicely, however, the body movements you used weren't that appropriate for the song." Mrs. Judith said. Beth sighed really hard, everyone instantly knew how awkward this moment was for her. "So Beth, I am very glad to say that you have made it into our club." smiled Mrs. Judith. The three of the other students congratulated Beth as the next guy stepped forward to hear his results.
"Mr. Zac Johnson. You sang Hello by Lionel Ritchie. It was a very good choice of song and..." Isabel stopped listening. Her head started going crazy thinking about what she would say about her. Zac Johnson made it to the club and so did Ethan Abeley.
"Ms. Isabel Salvatore. You sand You'll Never Stand Alone by Whitney Houston. That song really matched your voice and you had very good facial expressions. But, your body was kind of stiff and it seemed as if you were recovering from being frozen. Maybe it's just because you're nervous seeing that you're a cheerleader. Congratulations Ms. Salvatore, you are now a member of the club." Mrs. Judith shook her hands with Isabel. Everyone left the room happy. Zac introduced himself to Isabel and so did Isabel.
Isabel was promoted into Assistant Head Cheerleader that day. Scarlett, her best friend, Scarlett, is the head cheerleader. Mystic Falls Chorale has classes every school day starting tomorrow.
Isabel came home that day, in a very good mood.
"There's my girl!" said Damon as Isabel entered the house. "Hey dad! Guess what?" Isabel ran to Damon. "What?" Damon suddenly got super curious. "Today has been one lucky day. Okay, so I got in Mystic Falls Chorale Club, and then, I got promoted into Assistant Head Cheerleader!" screamed Isabel. "That's great sweetie! I'm so proud of you!" Damon hugged Isabel so tight Isabel had to tell him to stop.
"Damon, Isabel. I'm leaving now. I need to go back to California, I got promoted in my job." said Jeremy. "Oh, okay. Goodbye uncle! See you soon! Take care." said Isabel. Damon flashed a smile to Jeremy. Jeremy got his bags and went out. "Hey Jer! Wait for me!" said Stefan, carrying his own bags. "Where are you going?" asked Damon. "I need to go with Jeremy. You know, so you and Isabel could spend much father-daughter moments together. Bye!" said Stefan as he set off with Jeremy.
"Okay then." said Damon as they left. "I'm going to bed. Night dad!" said Isabel.
