Chapter 2: Can I Really Sing?

"Jade," Jade's mom called up the stairs. "Your cousins are here." Jade said bye to her friend online and closed her lap top. She put on her headband and went downstairs. "Hey Tiffany." Jade said hugging her cousin. "Hey Lisa." she said hugging her other cousin. "Look at cousin Jade," Lisa said. "Do you have a boyfriend yet?" "No," Jade said. "I don't, yet." "Oh." Tiffany said. "Wanna see my new laptop that Yasmin gave me?" Jade asked. "Sure." Tiffany answered. Jade went upstairs. "You really think that Jade can sing?" Lisa asked Tiffany. "No," Tiffany said. "Uncle David and Auntie Lacey don't even want her to do it." "Jade can't sing." Tiffany said. Jade was walking back down when she heard that. She closed her eyes and felt like crying. She went back to her room and slammed her door. She looked at her reflection in the mirror and said, "Can I really sing?" She put her shoes on and went back downstairs. "Jade," Tiffany said. "Where's the laptop?" "I gotta go somewhere," Jade snapped. "Outta my way." Jade grabbed her keys and drove downtown to the mall.

"So what is she gonna wear?" Yasmin asked at the Smoothie Bar. "Your asking boys." Eitan said. "We need opinions from boys." Sasha said. Jade was coming their way. "Hey Jade." everyone greeted. "Hey." Jade said. "What's wrong?" Yasmin asked. "My traitor cousins are here," Jade said. "And they say I can't sing and mom and dad don't even want me to do it." "Awww," Sasha said. "What matters is that you know you can sing." "Yeah," Yasmin said. "Don't listen to them." "You've got bratitude," Cloe said. "Time to show it." "You guys really think so?" Jade asked. "Yeah." Dylan said. "We have faith in you Jade." Koby said. "Thanks guys." Jade said. She got up and went home.
