Our Performance

Yesterday, I was taking a math test in Mr. Jones class. I looked up at the clock. Only 20 more minutes till Chorus! That means only 20 more minutes till singing in front of The WHOLE CHORUS with Prudence. I hope she wasnt as nervous as I was.
I forced myself to focus on my math test. I couldnt get an F on it because of my nerves!
I looked out the window. There was a little boy out there with Black hair and Big brown eye's. The little boy reminded me of Jake!
FOCUS ELIZABETH! A voice in my head said.
I looked down at my test and read the next question.
"Okay! Times Up!" Mr. Jones said to the class. 15 minutes had already went by!
Just in time too! I had just finished my test!
Mr. Jones collected the Test and told us we may go.
I packed up my Math textbook and my notebook in my Purple backpack. The I went out the door.

I had to go to my locker. I took a turn down a hall and then Another turn toward the Cafeteria. My locker was Basically right next to the Cafeteria.
I put in my locker combination and opened my locker door.
I put my textbooks that I didnt need back in my locker and took a Light blue back out of my locker. It had my Lady gaga Outfit in it!
I closed my locker and walked toward the Girls Bathrooms. When I opened the door I saw Prudence in there. She was already wearing her Beyonce outfit. She looked mad!
"Whats wrong?" I asked her.
And she told me the whole story. Sweet Jessica was talking about Callie behind her back! And saying that she isnt going to steal HER man! Oh and by her man she means Tyler, I guess Jessica and Callie both have a crush on him!
"I cant believe she said that about Callie! Callie is not FAT! Jessica is ALOT fat! She's like 150 pounds!" I told Prudence.
"I know! Well You better go get your Gaga outfit!" Prudence said.
I nodded and went inot a stall.
I took out the outfit from the light blue bag and just looked at it. It was PERFECT! I was still amazed at how much it looked like Lady Gaga's Black and white outfit in the Telephone music video! Sonali did a WONDERFUL job!
I put on the outfit and looked in the mirror. I was in the BIG stall for like Handicap people, so there was a mirror in it. It looked great!
I put my other clothes back in my bag and walked out of the stall.
Prudences mouth fell open. "That looks GREAT!" prudence told me.
"Thanks yours looks really GOOD too!" I told her. She smiled and then we looked at ourselfs in the mirror. We looked AWESOME! We smiled at each other and picked up our stuff, then walked out the bathroom door.

We were getting ready to walk into the Auditorium when I stopped. I took a deap breath.
"Whats wrong?" Prudence asked.
"Aren't you kinda nervous?" I said.
She nodded and said "Kinda, but we have to do it! And it wont be that bad! I'll be right next to you basically the whole time!" She told me.
"Okay." I said aking deep breathes. "Ready?" She asked me as she was holding the door knob.
I nodded and then we walked in.
All I could say was "WOW!". There was Lady Gaga outfits everywhere! And a bunch of Justin Bieber look alikes!
Some people looked at us as we walked into the Auditorium and sat down. Casey had a spot for me and Prudence right next to her, Callie, and Molly. They smiled at us.
"Wow good costume Casey!" I told her.
"Thanks! You too!" She said looking at me.
After a couple of minutes I saw Casey look at Ryan. Who was a Tall boy, with Glasses, and curly blonde hair.
"Why are you starring at Ryan?" I asked Casey.
She wasnt listening to me. She was in her own universe which was starring at Ryan!
"Hello! Earth to Casey!" I said wvaing my hand in her face.
"oh sorry! I must have been spacing out again!" Casey said.
"Ya! You do that alot. And when You do you always seem to stare at Ryan!" I said looking at her.
"What! Ya right. No I dont" She said.
"Okay then. Prudence wasnt Casey just starring at Ryan?" I asked Prudence.
"Ya she was. Your always starring at him!" Prudence said.
"Thank you Prudence! You see I;m not the only one who see's it!" I told her.
"Yuck! I do not stare at Ryan!" Casey said to me.
Prudence looked at me then to Casey. "Denial!" Prudence said.
I nodded. "Yup! If you like Ryan why dont you go out with him?" I asked her.
"Well Thats because I DONT LIKE RYAN! Yuck! He's like my best Guy friend!" Casey told me.
"Okay then! Jeez!" I said laughing! Then Casey gave me one of her Serious looks, which she couldnt give me for long. She started laughing too.

"Okay good Afternoon! I hope you all have practiced enough! I know this is our first time doing this so if you get some things wrong it is okay" Mrs. Hodge told us. Relief came across a couple peoples faces.
"But It will be a couple more minutes till we start because I;m expecting a phone call any minute now." Mrs. Hodge told us. We all nodded.
Some people got out of there seats and walked around. Some people practiced there songs.
I stayed in my seat and talked to Prudence and Casey.
I looked around and saw Jake starring at me. He smiled when he noticed that I was starring back at him. I smiled back.
"Why are you starring at Jake! Huh?" Casey said looking at me with blue Eye's.
"Haha! I'm not starring at him! I was just looking around the room. Why do you want to know anyways?" I told her.
"Oh I was just telling you how you sounded when You asked me why I was starring at Ryan!" Casey told me and started laughing. I laughed too.
I heard someone jump off the stage and then I felt a tap on my shoulder. Casey and Prudence just smiled at me.
I turned around and there right in front of me was a boy with Black hair, Freckles, and Big brown eye's. It was Jake! I smield at me and said "I was wondering if you want to go to a movie later with me?".
I looked back at Prudence and Casey. they were nodding
"I...er..I dont know..." I wasnt able to finish my sentence because Prudence came next to me.
Then she said "She would LOVE to go to a movie with you!".
"Yes, yes she would!" Casey said on the other side of me. I wasnt able to say anything. It wasnt that I didnt want to go to a the movies with him, because I did! It was just that I would basically be alone with him!
"Okay cool! I'll be at your house to pick you up at 7:00 tomorrow night" Jake said and then he hugged me. I hugged him back. Everyone was starring at us. I gave a week smile as he walked away from me.
"Casey and Prudence! Why would you say I would go to the movies wiht him!?" I asked them.
"Because we know you want to go on that date!" Prudence said
"Ya! And were going to get you ready for it! Tommorrow right after Chorus we will go over to your house and we'll help you get ready!" Casey said and Prudence nodded.
"Okay.." I said unsure about the whole thing.
Right then Mrs. Hodge walked in the room and said that we can get started.
"Okay The Justin Bieber assignments first! Jake and Nathan your up." Mrs. Hodge said pointing to the stage.
They jumped up on the stage. They got into position and the music started playing.

"You know you love me, I know you care. Just shout whenever, and I'll be there. You are my love, you are my heart, and we will never, ever, ever be apart." Nathan sang. He was really good at impersinating Bieber!

I looked at Prudence as Nathan sang his part. She was blushing!
Then came Jake's part of the song....I was probally blushing like crazy!

"When I was thirteen, I had my first love. There was nobody that compared to my baby, and nobody came between us or could ever come above.
She had me going crazy, oh I was starstruck. She woke me up daily, don't need no Starbucks. She made my heart pound, and skip a beat when I see her on the street and at school on the play ground. But I really wanna see her on the weekend."
She know she got me dazing, 'cause she was so amazing.
And now my heart is breakin', but I just keep on sayin'."
And for some starnge reason he kept looking at me when he sang that part, I wonder if anyone else noticed.
Then Nathan and Jake both sang
"Baby, baby, baby, OOOH.
Like baby, baby, baby, NOOO!
Like baby, baby, baby, oooh!
Thought you'd always be mine, mine.
Baby, baby, baby ooh!
Like baby, baby, baby, nooo!
Like baby, baby, baby, oooh.
thought you'd always be mine!"

Suddenly everyone got up and danced!

When there song was over Mrs. Hodge stopod up and clapped, which made everyone start to clap.
"Good Job boys!" Mrs. Hodge said. Nathan and Jake thanked everyone and then jumped off the stage.

Aftter about 25 minutes all the boys songs were over.
"Good Job Boys! Now time for the girls! First we have...Callie" Mrs. Hodge said.
But she wasnt there! We looked everywhere for her.
Suddenly the auditorium doors opened and Callie was coming through them!
She sang her song. It was a mix between Lady Gaga and Ke$ha. It was a brave thing to do!
We all clapped for her when she was done.
"That was awesome!" Prudence and I said.

Before I knew it. it was time to do Prudence and My performance.
Prudence pushed me up on stage because I was so nervous.
She reassured me that it would be okay and gave me a quick hug before the music started.
I heard the music start and I sang my first line to the song

"Hello, Hello baby you called I can't hear a thing.
I have got no service in the club you see, see.
What-what-what did you say? Oh, you're breakin' up on me.
Sorry I cannot hear you, I'm kinda busy.
K-kinda busy
K-kinda busy
sorry I cannot hear you, I'm kinda busy." I sang.
Me and Prudence danced and then I sang again
Just a second it's my favorite song they gonna play.
And I cannot text you with a drink in my hand, eh.
You shoulda made some plans with me, you knew that I was free.
And know you won't stop callin' me, I'm kinda busy."

I finally got my confidence up and put my heart into the rest of the song.

"Stop Callin'!
Stop Callin'!
I don't wanna think anymore.
I left my head and my heart on the dancefloor!
Stop Callin', stop callin'!
I don't wanna talk anymore.
I left my head and my heart on the dancefloor!"
eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh!
Stop telephoning' me-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh.
I'm busy.
Stop telephoning' me." We spun around each other, something we added then harmonized;
"You can call if you want but there's no one home
and you're not gonna reach my telephone."
Then I sang alone
"'Cause I'm out in the club, and I'm sippin that bubb
and you're not gonna reach my telephone"
Prudence joined me;
"You can call if you want but there's no one home
and you're not gonna reach my telephone.
'Cause I'm out in the club, and I'm sippin that bubb
and you're not gonna reach my telephone"

Prudence took center stage and sang her part.
"Boy the way you blowin' up my phone won't make me leave no faster.
Put my coat on faster. Leave my girls no faster" We locked arms
"I shoulda left my phone at home
'cause this is a disaster! Callin' like a collector, sorry I cannot answer!" she finished
"It's not that I don't like you,
I'm just at a party
and I am sick and tired of
my phone r-ring-ing." I sang

"Sometimes I feel like
I live in Grand Central Station,
Tonight I'm not takin' no calls,
'cause I'll be dancin'." Prudence sang

We started jumping up and down
"'Cause I'll be dancin',
'Cause I'll be dancin'
Tonight I'm not takin' no calls 'cause I'll be dancing!"

When our song was over Confetti out from the cieling.
Pink, Purple, Blue, all types of color Confetti fell on top of my head. Everyone clapped for us. Jake and Nathan whiseled.

"Did we win?" I asked.
"YES! You all Win!" Mrs. Hodge said.
There were a couple of "Huh's" and "Whats".
"You all completed your first assignment! Congratulations to all of you!" Mrs. Hodge yelled.
"Whats our next Assignment?" Molly asked.
"Its...Oh man! I forgot it in my purse which is in my classroom! Be right back" Mrs. Hodge said as she walked out the door.
Nathan walked up to Prudence and picked her up as he hugged her. I wondered if Jake and I will ever be like that.
Jake came up to me and said "Great Job!" and I told him that too.
We started practcing our Competition routine.
We were in the middle of it when Jake tripped over his Shoe lace. I couldnt help my self, I had to laugh!
"Haha!" I said laughing. I helped him up and for a split moment I looked into his eye's and seemed like he was going to kiss me. I turned the other way, I didnt want him to kiss me. And especially in front of the WHOLE chorus!
He looked at me for a moment and then looked away like I did.

"I GOT THEM!" Mrs. Hodge anounced as she walked back into the Auditorium.
"Open it! Open it!" Some people said.
"It's...." Mrs. Hodge said as she stopped talking for a dramatic affect.
"DUETS!!!" Mrs. Hodge yelled.
Some people said "YAY!".
"And by Duets I mean Boy and Girl Duets!" Mrs. Hodge also said.
There was a couple of groans and a couple of giggles.
"You will find out your Partners tomorrow!" Mrs. Hodge anounced.
"So your assigning them?" Ryan said.
"Oh yes, I'am!" mrs. Hodge said with a smile.
"Okay it's time to go! Seee ya tomorrow my little Gaga's and Bieber! Bye" Mrs. Hodge said.
We got packed up and went home.
The whole way home I was wondering who I was going to get assigned to for the Duets!?
