Practicing and Hatred

I was in my room organizing my closet when Rebecca yelled "Lizzieee Someone is on the phone for you!".
I rushed down stairs and said "Who is it?".
Rebecca shrugged her shoulders and gave me her pink LG Neon phone.
"Hello?" I said.
"Hi, Is this Elizabeth?" A boy asked.
"Yup. Who's calling?" I said.
"It's me Jake from school." The boy said.
"Oh jake!" I said and then I relized That probally sounded desperate. I ran up stairs with the phone pushed against my ear.
"Haha up it's me. Mrs. Hodge just called me and told me to call you. She wants us to meet her at the auditorium so we can practice our Grease songs." Jake told me.
"Oh! Okay. I'll be there in like 20 minutes." I said looking in my closet.
"Okay. see you then. Bye" Jake said and then I told him bye. Then I hung up.
I looked down at my clothes and relized I was still in my PJ's. Of course I was! It was Saturday!
I looked in my closet for a better looking outfit.
I finally picked a blue ruffle shirt, a white shirt, and Blue flip flops. My hair was up in a ponytail.

"Rebecca, Julie! I'm going to school to practice my competition songs with Jake and mrs. Hodge." I yelled as I grabbed a jacket. It was a white jean jacket.
"Okay! Have fun!" Julie yelled back.
I opened the front door and walked out the door. A big breeze hit me as I did.
"Brrr!" I said tugging on my jacket.
"It's getting colder and colder everyday!" I said to myself.

When I arrived in school I walked to the Auditorium. Which was on the other side of the school!!
When I finally got to the Auditorium Jake and Mrs. Hodge were already there!
"Hi" I said as I walked up to them.
"Hey" Mrs. Hodge said and Jake said so to.
"Okay since you are finally here we can get started. I have the outfits that you will be wearing at the Competition all ready!" Mrs. Hodge said pointing to 2 plastic bags.
"Cool!" Jake said. I agreed
"Okay. Jake you can go into the Boys bathroom and change into yours. Elizabeth you can go into the girls bathroom and change." Mrs. Hodge said giving us our outfits.

When I got into the bathroom I looked at the outfit. OMG! I thought to myself.
It looked EXACTLY like Sandy's!!!
I put it on and looked at myself in the mirror. My eye's got wide. I do kinda look like Sandy!
I walked back to the Auditorium and Jake was all ready! Wow boys change fast! I thought to myself
His eye's got big when he saw me. My eye's probally got big when I saw him. His look exactly like Danny's outfit! wow Mrs. Hodge did a good job!
"Wow! You look great!!" Jake said.
"Thanks! You do too" I told him.
"Okay then. I did a great job on these outfits!" Mrs. Hodge said bragging. We just smiled.
"Alright since you are wearing the outfits that sandy and Danny wore at the end of the movie (the leather outfits) you see that were singing "your the one that I want" which is a very good song!" Mrs. Hodge told us.
Jake and I just stared at eachother. and then we saw that Mrs. Hodge was starring at us. So we stopped looking at eachother.
"Alrighty then. So thats our group song and then the boys will sing the song "Grease lighting" and the girls will sing the song "Look at Me, I'm Sandra Dee" and then thats all the songs we can sing unfortunately!" Mrs. Hodge said.
"Okay! Those are great songs!" I told mrs. Hodge.
"Thanks! But the song were going to Practice is Your the one that I want" Mrs. Hodge said.
And then Jake hopped onto the stage and helped me up.
The CD played and I said "Tell me about it stud" and then I smiled. I wanted to laugh so badly!
Jake started singing:
" I got chills.
They're multiplyin'.
And I'm losin' control.
'Cause the power
you're supplyin',
it's electrifyin'!"

I started singing my part:
"You better shape up,
'cause I need a man
and my heart is set on you.
You better shape up;
you better understand
to my heart I must be true."

Jake:
"Nothin' left, nothin' left for me to do."

Both of us:
"You're the one that I want.
(you are the one i want), o,o, oo, honey.
The one that I want.
(you are the one i want want), o,o,oo, honey.
The one that I want
(you are the one i want want), o,o, ooooo
The one I need.
Oh, yes indeed.

And then we sand the rest of the song.
When we were done we looked at eachother. I was out of Breathe, so I was breathing real deeply.
Mrs. Hodge clapped "Bravo! Bravo! You two sound great together! I knew I made a great choice!" Mrs. Hodge said.
We smiled.
Suddenly, we hear a song playing. It was OMG by Usher!
"Oh thats my phone!" Mrs. Hodge said getting ehr phone out of her purse. Jake and I wanted to laugh so badly.
"Be right back!" Mrs. Hodge said as she went out the Auditorium doors.
I was looking through my bag, Which was on one of the seats of the auditorium. Jake was starring at me the whole time.
When I looked back at him he would turn his head.
Finally I said "Why are you starring at me?"
"Oh sorry, It's just umm...er.." He said. Then his face got red and he turned around.
I went to go sit on the stage and slowly Jake came and sat by me. It felt weird.
"You know Elizabeth, Your not like normal girls" Jake said looking at me. When I turned around to look at him and ask him what he meant. My mouth just stopped and my toungue got dry. I just had to look into his eye's! His BIG BROWN EYE'S! He slowly put his hand on mine.
I looked down at his hand but I didnt pull away.
He slowly leaned in to kiss me. My eye's got wide and I pulled my hand away from his and turned the other way.
"Umm...err...Uhh..What do you mean I'm not like normal girls?" I asked him.
"Well your sweet and kind..." Jake said "And very pretty" he also added. I blushed.
"Most of the girls I go out with are real jerks!" Jake said.
"But were not going out!" I said confused.
"I know but.." Jake said.
It started to feel awkward.
Yes I did like Jake but...I'm not sure I like him THAT MUCH! Or did I?
Mrs. Hodge walked into the room and we started rehearsing again. Thank god for mrs. Hodge!

A couple of hours later Chrissa and I were practicing our Lady gaga Routine. We were doing Telephone still.

We were right int the middle of the song when suddenly 2 people jump out fo the bushes and start spraying us with FREAKING WATER GUNS!
And guess who it was?!
Prudences Boyfriend Nathan and....JAKE!

"REALLY?!" Prudence screamed.
"Now peach, calm down!" Nathan told Prudence.
"Calm down? CALM DOWN?! HOW CAN I CALM DOWN?! I WAS JUST SPRAYED BY MY BOYFRIEND IN 50 DEGREE WEATHER. WHAT ARE YOU? SEVEN?!" Prudence screamed Nathan and then stormed inside her house.

"What the freak was that for!?" I yelled at Jake.
"I..err.." Jake said with his innicent big brown eye's! Dont look at those eye's Elizabeth!
"Exactly what I thought! Were you trying to be funny? Because that Definately WASNT FUNNY! I cant Believe I actually thought you were a little bit cute! Your nothing but a JERK!" I screamed at Jake.
Then I stormed in Prudences House slamming the front door behind me.
