Kyle's POV

"Sammie have you ever driven a car before?" I asked the overly-excited girl sitting in the seat next to me.

"Nope," she said and adjusted her seat forward so she could reach the pedals.

I was sitting in the passenger side of a manual 4WD and I was already terrified. I held the key out to Sammie and she was about to grab it when I pulled it back.

"Seatbelt," she quickly clicked in her seatbelt. "Mirrors," she checked her mirrors and nodded, "Now check the light to make sure your airbags ar-"

She sighed. "Kyle, I will be fine. We will be fine, just give me the key and tell me what to do."

"Sammie, think about it, you've never driven a car before and you are being way too confident," I tried to make her calm down, "I really think you should take this slower."

She stopped for a minute and leaned back in her seat. "You're right, I'll be careful, but you have to trust that I will be safe."

I handed her the keys reluctantly because part of me thought she was just saying that to make me let her drive. I was still tense as I started explaining the basics, what and where the clutch, brake and accelerator were.

"Driving manual is a little harder but once you have the hang of it, it is easy to drive any type of car. We're starting off on a larger car so that you will be more comfortable if you have to use these skills on your mission."

After more details on how to get started and to stop, safely, I told her to start the car.

"Make sure it's in neutral first," I instructed, "Then push in the clutch and put it in first, good, now slowly ease your foot off the clutch and push down on the accelerator, slowly, slowly," we jerked forward and my voice raised in pitch, "Okay, okay, that was a little fast. It's okay, it's okay. Let's go…"

And the rest of the lesson was a blur.

Sammie's POV

Kyle was driving me to my first ever singing lesson and over-worrying again. "Now, Sammie, remember that your name is Samantha Kingsley and you are getting some extra practice in before you audition for 'Britain Can Sing!' and I am your older brother and we have normal parents," he was rambling.

"And our mum is a doctor and our dad is a lawyer," I finished, "Don't worry, I know this." I assured him.

While we were driving, Kyle was also giving me more pointers on driving for my lesson tomorrow. The day after that was my audition for the show.

We were going to some performing arts centre near campus. They offered music and dance classes of a high standard and form their information in reception, private lessons cost quite a bit of money.

A nice looking old lady came into the room and she introduced herself as my teacher, Mrs Brown. After saying goodbye to my "older brother" Kyle, she invited me to follow her to my lesson.

Mrs Brown lead me along a corridor passing many identical doors. I could hear all different kinds of music coming from behind the doors but that all stopped when I sat down in my private room and Mrs Brown closed the door.

My lesson was in a sound proof room. My teacher was a nice looking old lady who made the suggestion to work on my audition piece and then work on other techniques after the audition but she had already given me tips of posture and breathing.

Only two more days until my auditions.

It took me a long time to update, again, sorry everyone. And I would just like to take this time to thank everyone for all of the reviews I have received for this so far, especially my last chapter. Your responses were very helpful. :)

I have another request- you don't have to include them in your reviews but...
1 If you have any suggestions for names of characters, first and last names, I could use them please :)
2 What song would you want Sammie to sing for her audition piece? And any other songs for her and others to sing throughout the show?
