Avery's POV:

"Saved by the bell, eh Kelly?" I asked Jack as the sixth period bell rang. He shrugged and jogged out the door. I packed up quickly and darted towards my next class when a poster caused me to stop and take a few steps back, "ANNOUNCING NOLAN HIGH'S FIRST ANNUAL TALENT SHOW MAY 6TH IN THE AUDITORIUM. SIGN UP IN THE MAIN OFFICE." I smiled, Accidentally on Purpose's first gig, Prize for first place? Performance on the Ellen show and $500 for the act. I ran as fast as the school allowed and into the main office, "I'd like a sign up sheet for the talent show?" I asked the secretary, she smiled and handed me the form. I filled out the necessary information and ran to French class, hoping Mr. Briand would understand my lateness.

When the school day ended I waited in the auditorium for the rest of the girls to arrive. I sent the text to all of them saying that I had exciting news. "where are they?" I questioned when Zana and Carson walked through the door. "what's the news?" Carson asked as the pulled up a chair in the front row. "Not until everyone's here." I responded looking towards the door. Just then, Kelly and Kayla walked in. "Alright, what's up?" Kayla asked. I smiled, "the school is holding a talent show and we're in it." the gang jumped around, "you got us our first real gig!" Zana exclaimed. I smiled. "Now, we just need to practice." we thought about what song to perform, when Carson popped up, "How Far We've Come!" I gestured wildly at her, "yes!" I exclaimed and looked at the others, they all nodded in agreement. I jumped up on stage and beckoned the others, "lets do this!"

I'm wakin' up at the start of the end of the world

but it's feelin' just like every other morning before

Now I wonder what my life is going to mean if it's gone

The cars are moving like a half a mile and hour and I

started staring at the passengers waving good bye

could you tell me what was special about me all this time

Well, I believe the world is burnin' to the ground

Oh well, I guess we're gonna find out

Let's see how far we've come

and I believe it all is coming to an end

Oh well, I guess we're gonna pretend

Let's see how far we've come

Let's see how far we've come

I think it turned ten o'clock, but I don't really know

And I can't remember caring for an hour or so

Started cryin' and I couldn't stop myself

Started runnin' but there's nowhere to run to

I sat down on the street, took a look at myself

Said, "where you goin' man you know the world is headed for hell

say your good byes if you got someone you can say good bye to."

Well, I believe the world is burnin' to the ground

Oh well, I guess we're gonna find out

Let's see how far we've come

and I believe it all is coming to an end

Oh well, I guess we're gonna pretend

Let's see how far we've come

Let's see how far we've come

It's gone, gone, baby it's all gone

there's no one on the corner and there's no one at home

It was cool, cool, it was just all cool

Now it's over for me, and it's over for you

I believe the world is burnin' to the ground

Oh well, I guess we're gonna find out

Let's see how far we've come

and I believe it all is coming to an end

Oh well, I guess we're gonna pretend

Let's see how far we've come

Let's see how far we've come

When we finished the set, we cheered and did our happy dances. If this was how we performed at the talent show, that win was in the bag. I looked out the door and saw a twirl of pink. I told the gang to be quiet and to follow me. We all popped off stage and peeked out the door, there we saw Brittney and her friends in a group formation, "5,6,7,8" Brittney barked and pointed a remote at the iHome in front of them that played some Selena Gomez song I didn't know. They danced around and did all sorts of acrobatics. We all looked at each other and thought one thing, competition? I smirked, bring it on.
