Hope you........

I came into the auditorium, Kyle was singing as usual but this time, he didn't stop as I entered. I got closer but he still didn't stop. HEY!I yelled once I noticed he's not looking up.I got closer and dropped my stuff and came on stage. He closed the piano and got up.He put my song on but I couldn't get into the song. Once he left the room I sat at the piano and decided to play the song that has been stuck in my head for a while. It was Miley Cyrus, it was strange for me that I had listened to it but I felt just like what the words where saying. I started singing,
"And I hope you find it
What you're looking for"
I kept singing until he came in. He sort of just stood by the door for a while, I didn't notice him until he dropped something. I looked up and saw him there.
"I'm sorry." I said.
He stood there for a while, not moving. Maybe 5 minutes after this awkward silence ended he spoke up,
"Why did you do that Tuesday?" I knew what he meant. The whole Ivy situation, [by the way, she's still not talking to me and is trying to turn everyone against me.]
"I didn't mean to." I said
"I didn't want anyone to know." he said.
"I knew." I replied
"I trusted you." Those words sort of stuck to me. I couldn't get rid of them. I could feel my face get red. I got up then and left.

Sick.........

My alarm clock rang. it kept ringing but I didn't do anything. I felt sick. Not fever sick, maybe more of a lovesick type thing. Last night, Ivy and I had a fight. A HUGE one, so big, not even the stars of Hollywood could match it. It started right after we left the auditorium, watching Kyle practice.
"He was good." she had said. I nodded in agreement. She siad some more stuff and I did the same but by the time we got to our regular seats in the cafe, it seemed as if she was getting suspicious, mostly because she said this,
"Wasn't it strange how he got up right after we entered and yelled I'm finished? It was as if it was a crime or something." I mmhed in agreement. I wasn't sure where Ivy was going with this but I decided to just agree.
"It's also strange that you finally get to hang out today since glee is canceled." I was getting annoyed at Ivy by now." But when I think about those two situations, it seems as if you've been ditching to hang out with Kyle." if I had a glass of something to drink, the cafe would have been flooded by now. I saw Kit and Sarah come in but Ivy continued, "AS if you were dating. You know he broke up with Julie, he gathered his stuff as if he were leaving as soon as he saw you come in and that song he was singing seemed pretty romantic." I had enough by now. I jumped out of my seat and said, "WELL MOST PEOPLE WOULDN'T EVEN GET TO A CONCLUSION LIKE THAT! JUST BECAUSE THATS WHAT YOU WANT OR THINK, DOESN'T MEAN IT HAPPENED!" everyone was staring by then, I even saw Julie and Lanie and the gang, and Kyle and the football players. I could feel my eyes tearing up and got up and stormed out. The End, no one lived happily ever after. That's why now I am starting to think the same thing too but needed a day to stay home and think about it. Sometimes I wish that I could finally get chosen, away from all those.........others.

Picturing Us

I closed my locker. It was the end of the day and everyone was rushin out of school to hang out. After school activities had been canceled today since the teachers had some meeting so I knew I would be able to practice without an excuse today sadly, Ivy had caught up with me by now.
"Becki, I feel as if you have been avoiding me wayyyy to much lately, what's up?", she said. I didn't know what to say, I couldn't lie to my best friend but I couldn't tell her the truth so i said the closest I could get to the truth, "I've been busy." there, it was completely a lie at least but I could tell she could tell something was wrong. "Well, are you busy today?" she asked. i wanted to tell her the truth but knew she'd feel betrayed. I was so close to the auditorium, I could almost see Kyle singing. I guess I that Kyle must have been really good since the next thing Ivy said was, "What's that awesome sound?" Today Kyle was singing a song I recognized as Pictures of You by The Last Goodbye. I knew I couldn't make Ivy leave without a REALLY good reason so let her push open the door and come in. There was Kyle playing the piano. He looked supercute in his dark skinny jean and aeropostle shirt. He was wearing a hat and in his backpack I could see a skateboard sticking out. By now, Kyle and I had sort of adjusted to me coming in half way through his song. He looked up as he heard the heavy door close. "I'M MOVING!" he yelled loudly. That was out usual cue meaning that he's almost done and it's my turn.  I could see Ivy getting confused but didn't say anything. We got closer and he noticed two of us were there. I couldn't let Kyle blow this for me and said, "NO, you should keep playing, sorry for disturbing you." I tried to shoot Kyle a look that said not now but was out of luck as I heard Ivy yell, "Yeah, keep singing." she got quiter than and finished, "you have a great voice." Kyle sat down then, getting the message that maybe not today but as long he sang, I was dreaming about Kyle and........ME! I lost track of what was happening and didn't hear him finish. All I heard was Ivy say, "we've got to go, THANKS!" and was rushed out of the auditorium.

Talent Gleek

The bell rang and I headed out of reading. Mrs.Borling had been explaining some book to us that I didn't care about. I had been planning for my rehearsal today. I walked down the hall to my locker as Ivy,Sarah and Kit ran towards me. They had just gotten out of drama, [I had it 8th period and they have it 9th.] They were sort of smiling and giggling. Kit then said, "You're coming to glee today right? We are working on some new act and Mrs.Larson just gave us some pointers about it!" Kit and Ivy were the only ones I had glee with. Sarah is pretty popular but she hangs out with us. She was smiling too,"Yeah and she taught us this move I can use in cheer today. We can make a show from yor guys' glee songs and my cheer moves." I watched the girls. I had already set up my rehearsal today and the show was in 2 weeks from today. I knew that I had blowed off glee for WAYY too long and that they must be getting suspicious. So I went with them. It was true though, whatever Mrs.Larson had taught Ivy and Kit must have been really useful. I found out that I had missed a lot and had to sit in the back of the room watching the girls and taking notes.  watched the clock tick tock towards 4:30 and as we were dismised grabbed my stuff obviously not fast enough though since Mrs.Bergman stopped me. "Becki,I've noticed that you have missed a lot of rehearsal this week." I interuppted her and said, "Yeah, I am so sorry, I was....... extremely busy." Well, that was true, at least half of it. I was busy preparing for the talent show. Mrs.Bergman then continued,"Yes, I understand but am going to have to ask you to do some extra work and come in in the mornings to work on some glee stuff to get caught up. Maybe even during lunch." I listened carefully noticing that my plan hadn;t gone how I planned. This might just make my chances to win the talent show,smaller. I grabbed my stuff then and turned around, mumbling a little, mhhh, on my way out. I walked towards the auditiorium once again and saw Kyle practicing. This time, I got to listen without interrupting. I got on stage and once he finished said, "You have amazing talent." He thanked me but the thank you didn;t sound too sincere. I watched as he walked over to put my song on and I started practcing. 45 minutes later, I stopped and got off stage. Kyle was still there, he looked sad so as I got my stuff ready asked, "Are you okay?" he looked at his feet and said, "Julie dumped me but it doesn't matter." I wanted to smile a little but wasn't sure why. I could feel myself blushing but managed to get out an oh. Not knowing what to do next, I got up and walked out but he stopped me by saying, "But I think you are a lot talented then her." There was an awkward silence for a minute or 2 until I said, "Thanks." and walked out with a huge smile on my face.

NA Na na.......

I came to rehearse my song after school. I had ditched glee club once again saying that I have WAY to much homework.  I walked to the auditiorium where it seemed a lot bigger than it did at try outs. There were a couple people there. I heard someone playing guitar backstage. I wasn't sure what to do but decided to throw my backpack on the floor and put my laptop next to it. I took off my jacket and headed backstage. "Hello?" I said,not sure who was still here. As I got closer I heard a voice, "When violet eyes get brighter,and heavy wings grow lighter,I'll taste the sky and feel alive again." The voice sounded familiar. As I leaned in a bit closer, I saw that the person singing was Kyle. I listened a little longer. Sadly this time I opened the door too far and knocked down some props. I watched as Kyle jumped up and turned around. "Hi." I said,"I came to rehearse my song but I don't need to bother you." I turned around,thinking I would die of embarresment. "WAIT!" I heard him yell after me. I turned around to see him onstage," I'm not supposed to be here anyway so you can come rehearse." I wasn't sure what to say so mumbled a thanks. I watched him go backstage."WHAT SONG!?" he yelled. I looked at him and said,"Uncharted." "OKAY!" he yelled back. I felt sort of embarresed to have him sit there and watched me but kept rehearsing,trying to forget he was there. As I finished the song, he stood up and clapped. "Thanks." I said, a bit of uncertain of what to say next since I was still in shock."You are really good." he said. "You are too." I said, noticing how lame it sounded so decided to add, "You have really high chances of winning.""Thanks." he said"But. I didn't enter." as he said that, I felt really stupid for what I just said so decided to say, "Oh,I'm sorry." "It's fine, Julie said that I should keep my talent to myself." That's when I remembered last friday, how I saw them kissing. Not sure what to say next, I decided to gather my stuff and leave but he stopped me once again and said, "She's singing too. I think you and her have a great chance of winning." hearing him say that, I got really angry inside knowing I would never want to be compared to Julie Albright. I heard myself mumble a thank you and leave.

Talents

I stood in line and waited for someone to call me up. The talent show was hosting some meeting of some sort today and wanted all participants. I held my entry with shaky hands. I had told Ivy and Kit that I had to skip glee since I wasn't feeling good. They believed me but now, I regretted saying that. I watched as some amazing people performed. There were many singers, [but most of them probably came since they had nothing else to do] acrobats,dancers, cheerleaders and pranksters. There were even some people reading poems and playing insturments. I watched as the girl before me got on stage. All I knew that her name was Cristine Sanchez and she's playing flute. I was too nervous to watch her and instead started practicing my own act. I had chosen to sing Uncharted from Sara Bareilles but before I could even start, I heard one of the teachers yell, NEXT! I came up on stage. The first thing I saw was some kids sitting in the auditiorium seats. I had stage fright, for many years and all these people were making it worse. The teacher asked, "What is your name and what are you doing." I didn't hear her the first time, or the second until she yelled it. "Rebecca." I replied quickly. "Rubin,Rebecca Rubin." "Thank you" she said but from her voice,I could tell she was annoyed. "And what will you be doing?" She asked. "Singing Uncharted by Sara Barreilles." I replied, a bit more confident. The teacher then cued the lights and I started singing. With each verse, I felt more stronger. By the time I got to "Each day I'm countin' up the minutes," I was beaming. I finished, turns out, I GOT IN!

Schooled Fool

Walking to the sunset, smiling and holding hands, beaming at me with those amazing white teeth, leaning to
REBECCA! Called Ivy, her hair put into two ponytails, wearing some skinny jeans and a hoodie. Get up, you're going to be late for school. I looked at my clock.7:39. I jumped out of bed, pulled on some clean clothes, brushed my hair, washed my teeth and grabbed a quick snack. By that time it was 7:46. I went down to the academy, opening the doors to the classroom running in to notice, all the lights were off. I opened the door since the school was always open and walked in to an awkward silence. A silence I wasn't used to. I walked into first period where the chairs were still put up on the desks, just as it was left before spring break. SPRING BREAK! I noticed that it was spring break but turning around I saw all of my friends standing there, confetti and party items in their hands screaming APRIL FOOLS! They threw the confetti and fun spray at me, I noticed how dumb I was to fall for this. I laughed at how stupid I was and at my friends, deciding to join in their party.

HOW'D YOU FOOL SOMEONE! APRIL FOOLS!
