On the seventh day of Christmas we...


I know this is late but come on we all get busy!


I gulped and looked at the auditorium in CPA, were they all their to watch me? Well ok, maybe not just me but I was one of the few acts that evening.

My mom had convinced Principal Cinch to let us have a Christmas pageant, I was there for Music, having being best singer, or at least that's what my music teacher Sapphire Shores said.

This was my first ear at CPA, and I didn't like it that much so far.

I was going to sing a song I wrote and a song By Dolly Parton after Sour sweet finished her dance.

I wasn't the fanciest dressed, no, the most country, sure, but my dress wasn't fancy, at least that's what I thought.

It was a faded denim country dress, with silver buckles, white fringes. I had on my Favorite pair of boots which were basic western boots but were teal at the toes, and matching wristbands. I held tight to my wood Guitar and fiddled with the strings, my mind racing. No way could I top some of the other students acts, not at all!

Sour sweet finished all to soon, I was practically sweating bullets!

"I'm sure you'll do great! But not as great as me!" Sour sweet's name fit her well, one minute sweet then sour, I didn't like her but it was hard not to let her words get to my 14-year-old mind.

"Don't Listen to her, she's just being mean because she knows you're gonna win!" Snow flake said. I smiled at her just a bit, I had to do the Dolly song and then let another person do their act, change and sing the song I wrote.

"Ok, let's do this!" I said picking up my guitar and walking onto the stage.
