Chapter Four
Bridgette
Every first day of school, Gwen, Courtney, and I go back to one of our houses to make a 'game plan' as Courtney calls it.
So, we were stuck going to my house, since Courtney's parents are never there, and Gwen's mother was probably at work. My mom is like a soccer mom; the mom that's always there for me. I think of my mom as a friend; unlike Courtney and Gwen do.
I have a better relationship with my family then Courtney and Gwen do; so I feel I have the responsibility to be there if something happens to one of them.
I unlocked the front door of my house, and opened the door. I let Courtney and Gwen in first before me. We walked over to my bedroom; my house was a one floor house anyway.
My bedroom walls were ocean blue; and my bed spread was an ocean green that matched. There was a wood floor; no carpet, a wooden desk, and a dresser. The walls were covered in pictures of my friends and family; I loved that kind of thing. My room is very soothing and relaxing.
Courtney took a seat at my desk, Gwen leaned against the wall, and I sat down on the bed.
"So… what are we going to do this year?" Gwen asked as she started to bounce a rubber ball against the ground.
"I don't think we should have a big plan this year; we should go with the flow," I pitched in. Courtney looked uneasy about this idea. Then her face brightened.
"We should enter in the talent show! Heather won almost every year in Middle school; we could stop her winning streak!" Courtney exclaimed; punching her fist on her palm.
"Talent show?" I asked; I didn't see anything about a talent show today.
"Yeah; according to Trent there were flyers," Gwen said evenly; now bouncing the rubber ball against the wall.
"Oh," I replied with a nod.
Gwen sighed. "Courtney; what would we do for the talent show?"
Courtney looked lost; her deep onyx eyes were curious for once.
"We could… sing!" Courtney stated, "Heather sings; and we could show her up!"
Gwen groaned. "Do I have to?" She asked.
"Um….," I started, not exactly sure of what to do.
"Oh come on guys. We'll practice now and see how our voices sound!" Courtney encouraged. Gwen rolled her eyes.
"There's no way you guys are going to make me sing," Gwen stated, crossing her arms. It was Courtney's turn to roll her eyes.
"Fine; Gwen you don't have to," Courtney turned to me with hopeful eyes, "Bridgette?"
I gave her a small smile. "Okay; I'll try,"
Courtney clasped her hands in pleasure. "What CD's do you have?"
"Here," I said as I put my CD box on the desk.
"Okay…," Courtney's voice drifted as she went rummaging through my CD's.
Gwen continued to bounce that rubber ball; making a small rhythm.
"Bridgette! I have a perfect song for you to sing!" Courtney said all of the sudden; plopping a CD in my CD player.
The song 'Get up' started to play. We all listened quietly until the song stopped.
"It kind of describes how you lift people's sprits, Bridge," Courtney encouraged.
I shrugged and smiled a little. "Maybe,"
"Yeah; I could so see you singing that, Bridgette," Gwen added in.
I bit my lip; and started looking through more CD's to change the topic.
"Courtney, you could sing this one," I said as I replaced the old CD with a new one in my CD player.
The song 'Tangled up in me,' started to play.
When the song ended; Courtney glanced at me. "Why would I sing that?"
"Because it basically describes your relationship with Duncan," Gwen replied with a smirk. Courtney flushed.
"Yeah right! Like I'd have a relationship with him!" Courtney spat, crossing her arms. Great; I started an argument.
"Come on guys; pull it together. I just thought you'd be good at singing a song like that; that's all," I said; trying to stop what I started.
Courtney sighed. "Okay; I'll sing it,"
"Are you going to do anything in the talent show, Gwen?" I asked. Gwen stopped bouncing her little rubber ball.
"Nah; I'll go down there to cheer you on though," Gwen replied, "Seriously; I don't want any part of the talent show,"
"Mm," I told her with a nod.
"Bridgette?" I heard my mom call from down the hall. I looked up from Gwen.
"I'll be back in a sec, guys," I said as I walked out of my room. "Yeah, mom?"
"I made some snacks," She said, handing me a tray. I took it from her gladly.
"Thanks," I replied; walking back to my room. My mom was the best cook; I was glad to have her.
"What happened, Bridgette?" Gwen asked, turning from her conversation with Courtney.
"Look what I have," I said, plopping the tray down on my desk.
The tray had three glasses of milk and fresh baked brownies.
"Good; I was getting hungry," Gwen said, pulling up a chair to my desk. We all then started to eat and chat.
Lindsay
Okay; so were sitting in Heather's room talking about the talent show- it's so exciting!
"Lindsay, Beth! We need to win that talent show!" Heather exclaimed, her hands on her hips.
"Yay! I love talent shows! I wanna sing!" I claimed, waving my hand in the air like a kid in class who wants to answer a question.
"Me too!" Beth agreed.
"No; I'll be the one singing," Heather snapped to my disappointment.
"But I wanted to do a duet with Tyler!" I complained. Heather glared at me.
"That guy is such a looser! You can't date him," Heather snapped, "None of the girls from my alliance are going to be seen dating a looser,"
"But, Tyler's not a loo-"I started; only to be cut off by Heather.
"You can't date him! And that's final!" Heather ordered. Then she smiled in a perky way. "Now; what song should I sing?"
Beth and I stayed silent. I was trying to think; but I couldn't.
"Fine! I'll just have to do this myself!" Heather exclaimed, shoving a CD into her big stereo thing.
The song 'Damaged' started to play. I raised a brow.
"Are you serious? That song doesn't describe you at all," I said, holding my hand out like a valley girl would. Heather glared at me.
"You wanted to sing, didn't you!? It's a group song," Heather exclaimed, crossing her arms.
"Yay! This is going to be sooo fun!" Beth cheered happily.
"Beth; you can't sing. You'll be somewhere in the background," Heather replied simply. Beth looked hurt.
"Why can't I?" She asked, her voice rising a little, which surprised me.
"Because you'll totally ruin my image! Talent shows are about the presentation, and you just don't fit the part," Heather replied in a know-it-all voice.
I gasped; and Beth ran out of the room.
"What?" Heather questioned as if it was no big deal, "We have to beat Courtney to the ground… again,"
"Again?" I asked.
"Yes again! Now, help me prepare, "Heather commanded, "We're going on a shopping spree this weekend,"
"Yay! Shopping!" I cheered. Heather groaned.
"And you have to help me; you don't look like that for nothing," Heather told me with a smirk. Wow! Heather's so nice to me! That's why we're BFF's right?
"Of course I will, Heather!" I exclaimed, clasping my hands together in delight.
"Good. Now we need to practice," Heather said with a smile. Well, at least I think it was a smile…
Trent
I was hanging out at my buddy, Geoff's house for the afternoon. We were getting ready for the talent show.
"Dude, what song are you going to sing?" Geoff asked.
"I'm thinking of singing 'Thunder,' "I replied with a small smile. The song reminded me of my new found crush, Gwen.
"I'm going to sing a song too! I just don't know which one yet," Geoff replied, "I'm dedicating it to Bridgette," A dreamy look came upon his face. I had no idea the dude could sing.
"Can you sing something for me?" I asked my green eyes curious.
Geoff started to sing some random song that he made up. His voice was off pitch big time; he wasn't the best singer in the world…
"Okay, okay! That's enough," I exclaimed, wanting to cover my ears, "So, you have the hotts for Bridgette then?"
"Yeah! She's funny, athletic, and pretty!" Geoff said, "And I think we totally dig each other,"
I smiled. "That's really cool, dude,"
"Yeah…," Geoff's voice drifted, "So how did I sound?" I bit my lip, trying to think of something nice to say.
"You're not exactly the best singer in the world…," I started, "I have an idea! You could join the talent show with me! I need a dude on the key board for my song,"
"Are you serious? That's awesome!" Geoff exclaimed. We did a secret hand shake that most guys did.
"Now we only need a drummer," I started.
"You know, that one dude, Duncan seems to fit the part of a drummer," Geoff pointed out.
"Good plan," I agreed with a nod.
"So; are you coming to my party tomorrow?" Geoff asked, changing the subject, "The whole grade is invited!"
"Is Gwen coming?" I asked.
"Well, she's one of Bridge's friends. I'm sure she'll come,"
"I'm in," I replied with a smile.
Yay! Another chapter finished!
