"Sonny, you should definitely sign up for singing!", Chad insisted. I smiled at him, "Chad you know that I'm a bad singer".
He made his What? face, "What are you talking about?! You have an amazing voice!".
"You better sign up or else", he said. I lifted my eyebrows, "Are you trying to threaten me, Cooper?".
"Yes I am, Munroe", he said leaning closer to me. "Or else what?", I asked.
"Or else, I'll sign up for you". I laughed "Oh wow".
He wasn't finished, "And you won't have to kiss me for a day".
"Wow, I bet you that I won't have to kiss you for a day", I crossed my arms.
"Good!", he sounded offended
"Good!"
"Fine!"
"Fine!"
"Ugh!", I said leaving the cabin. Maybe Chad was right, I should tryout for singing. I mean, the bet was on kissing anyway right? I entered the room to find an empty class, I saw the teacher.
"Hello, Miss", I greeted. She wasn't very elderly, she was at least thirty.
"Hello dear, are you here for singing?"
"Yes, I am". She stood up from her chair. "Sing to me dear, sing me the highest pitch you have".
I felt nervous, my stomach was hurting and my legs felt weak. I was anxious, I cleared my throat.
I sang as high as I could, for about ten seconds. I thought of Mariah Carey, she had an amazing voice. I finished, she stood there not saying anything. I decided to leave, I walked to the door to open it.
She clapped her hands in applause. "Wow, you are wonderful! What is your name dear?".
"S-Sonny", I managed to say.
"Sonny, what a beautiful name". She paused, "Do you have a boyfriend?".
"Yes, his name is Chad"
"Hmm, he must be very lucky to have you"
"Ok, Bye Miss!", I exited through the steps. I passed through the lake through a trail of rocks. Once, I saw my cabin, I ran up the stairs and opened the door. Chad wasn't here, maybe he went out or something.
I walked swiftly to my bed, I found a note. I unfolded it:
I've gone out to eat on the benches behind the cabin. You can join me if you want :)
- Chad
I bit my lip as I folded it. The smell of the canin was woody and dusty. Chad had his luggage next to his bed. I exited our cabin and walked to the back. I looked down to button my shirt. The button ended at the middle of my chest.
I looked up to see Chad eating a sandwich. I rested next to him.
"This is nice", he said. I stayed quiet and just looked around.
"That's a nice shirt you're wearing", he said. "Oh really? I had this when I was in Wisconson". He stared at me, I turned away. I turned back, he was still staring. He came close to me, he made me breathless.
Just as he was an inch away from my lips, I stopped him. "No Chad, you're trying to make me lose the bet".
I got off the bench and left. I saw a girl with dirty blonde hair. She was standing alone.
"What's wrong?", I asked as I approached her. "She had glasses and her hair was in a ponytail.
"I, I'm not worth it!", she shouted.
"How are you not worth it?"
"They don't think I can sing! They call me ugly!"
"Aww, I bet that you can sing way better than me"
She rubbed her eyes, "Thanks"
I popped an idea, "Hey you want to stay with me?"
"Ok", she said as we both entered the cabin.
