Chap two

-second hour the same day-

JADES POV

Finally, after an hour of algebra II with , I had honors choir.

"Watch it!" I yelled as a ditsy red head walked into me.

"Haha, hi I'm Cat!" She responded.

"I don't care," I said as I kept walking. She followed. At first I ignored it, but soon I couldn't.

"Where are you going?" I asked still facing away from her.

"I have honors choir," she smiled. I groaned and entered the classroom, holding the door slightly and then letting go.

I sat down in the front of the class, Cat sat next to me. We filled the last two spots in the class.

"Okay we don't have the risers today because we are going to do placement auditions," announced.

I turned around to see my competition. No one looked too intimidating, but then again that was normal. I knew I was probably the best in the class.

Cat raised her hand excitedly.

"Will the auditions be private?" She asked.

I rolled me eyes. She obviously didn't know how they always did it In 's class. Auditions are always public.

looked annoyed as he was the best choir teacher in the school, and had never had to deal with someone so clueless.

"They are public." He said quietly.

"OKAY, who wants to go first?" Everyone raised a hand.

"Oh I almost forgot," he laughed sarcastically, "the song is 'I will always love you." The room went silent and everybody put their hands down, except for Cat and Me.

"Well since there's two of you, let's make this a duet." He said.

I walked up to the stage and Cat followed. We shook hands and I gave her a fake smile before turning around to face who was sitting at the piano. He started playing and it started out with leading vocals.

If I should stay, I would only be in your way, so I'll go, but I know, I'll think of you every step of the way-and I... Will always love you...will always love you, my darling you...mmmmm

I wasn't completely done, but cat took over on lead which surprised me at first, but I harmonized. She was amazing. 'Hey maybe I don't hate this girl after all' I thought.

brought the key up to test our vocal ranges.

I glimpsed at the door and saw Beck and Andre looking In through the window. My eyes widened. Now I was going to sing lead.

And I... Will always love you... I will always love you...ooh...

Beck looked surprised at my vocal range. I smiled and walked back to my seat as played a riff to end the song. Cat had already sat down.

"Good job," she whispered.

"You to," I said, giving her a sincere smile this time.

"Ladies and gentlemen, our principal soloists, Jade West and Cat Valentine." announced still sitting at the piano.

Cat awkwardly tried to hug me from her chair. I pushed her away. "We can be friends, but I don't hug." I said.

Cat smiled and turned around to acknowledge the applause the class had filled up with.

NO ONES POV

As Cat looked around she noticed a boy with a dummy. She waved at him and smiled. 'Only at arts school' she thought. End of chapter
