I'll just write anyway. I like writing.

Chapter 2; You've Got Talent
The next day of school wasn't much better, but it helped to have Lilly and Oliver.
Oliver's the guy Lilly mentioned at lunch yesterday.
He's really funny, but kind of weird.
Lilly is a skater-tomboy type, the exact opposite of me.
Leslie and Marie were the type of girly-girls I am, which is one reason we got along so well.
I was at my locker, putting up a few photos, singing one of the songs I'd written quietly to myself.
"I'll be right here where you need me
Anytime just keep believing
And I'll be right here...If you ever need a friend
Someone to care and understand
I'll be right here"
"Hey, you're a great singer!" Lilly said, scaring me.
"Oh…thanks…" I replied, blushing.
"What's that song? I've never heard of it before." she asked.
"I wrote it."
"Really? You're a great singer and songwriter!"
"Thanks," I smiled.
"Maybe you should go out for choir." she suggested.
"Me? Noo…" I said.
Maybe it would be a good idea though….I thought.

Lilly had dragged me to choir class later that day.
"Lilly, really…"
"But you're great. They'll love you. Come on."
I entered the class and everyone stared.
"Who's that?" one girl whispered.
"A new girl from Tennessee," another answered.
"Mr. Andrews, Miley wants to join choir." Lilly announced.
"Alright. Can you sing?" he asked me.
"Yeah…"
"Show us what you've got!"
"Okay…" I said nervously. "This is a song I wrote."
"I'll be right here when you need me
Anytime just keep believing
And I'll be right here
If you ever need a friend
Someone to care and understand
I'll be right here
All you have to do is call my name
No matter how close or far away
Ask me once and I'll come
I'll come runnin
And when I can't be with you dream me near
Keep me in your heart and I'll appear
All you gotta do is turn around
Close your eyes
Look inside
I'm right here
Isn't it great that you know that
I'm ready to go wherever you're at
Anywhere I'll be there
All you have to do is call my name
No matter how close or far away
Ask me once and I'll come
I'll come runnin
And when I can't be with you dream me near
Keep me in your heart and I'll appear
All you gotta do is turn around
Close your eyes
Look insideI'm right here
Whenever you need me
There's no need to worry
You know that I'm gonna be
Right here
Ask me once and I'll come
I'll come runnin
And when I can't be with you dream me near
Keep me in your heart and I'll appear
All you gotta do is turn around
Close your eyes
Look inside
I'm right here
Oh yeah yeah
I'm right here"
After I finished singing, I said,
"It's called Right Here."
There was silence.
"Am I really that bad?"
"That was amazing!"
"Wow!"
"Great!"
"Oh, my gosh!"
"Ms. Stewart, you're in choir!" Mr. Andrews announced.
"Really?" I said in disbelief.
Lilly hugged me.
"I told you you could do it!"
