Tryouts, Crying, and a Forced Sorry

Today's school day was pretty good! Except for...Well you'll find out in my post! haha :D

After school today I had to go to Chorus. It was my first time. Well actually I wasnt officially in Chorus yet, I had to try out! IN FRONT OF THE WHOLE CHORUS GROUP! eek!
I was so nervous. Casey was in Chrous too. She told me not to worry! "It isnt that nerve recking! Except for everyone staring at you!" Casey said and then she saw my face.
"I'm not helping Am I?" Casey said.
"NOPE!" I said with wide eye's.
"Sorry!" Casey said as we walked through the Music room Doors.
Mrs. Hodge was of course the Chorus teacher. But she wasnt there yet.
Casey derected me to a seat as she said "I wonder where Mrs. Hodge is?" then we sat down.
Some people stared at me. I wanted to tell them to mind there own Business! It was like they've never seen a new girl trying out for Chorus! But I kept myself from saying it.

Right then Mrs. Hodge came through the door.
"Hello Class! Sorry I was late, I had to finish some music Sheets." Mrs. Hodge said waving white peices of paper infront of her.
"It's okay" some people said.
"Okay well I have noticed that a new student has decided to try out for our singing group!" Mrs. Hodge said looking at me.
"Elizabeth will you please stand up so everyone can see you" She also said.
I stood up, I was also biting my lip and of course twisting my Pin Curls!
I heard some "Hey's", "Welcome", and some whisles from the boys. And of course Casey was clapping!
I looked around and saw a girl staring at me. She looked mean. It was the same girl that was in my Music Class that was starring at me then!
She was not saying, clapping, or doing anything. She just stared at me and so did the 2 girls that was sitting next to her.

"Well do you have a song picked out to sing for us?" Mrs. Hodge asked me. My face went blank. I knew this time was coming. I nodded. I did have a song picked out. It was the song 'Fearless' by Taylor Swift. and I did not feel like the title of the song!
Mrs. Hodge asked for me to come up to the front of the room. With a little push from Casey I was up in the front of the room.
I whispered to Mrs. Hodge what song I wanted and she nodded.
"When ever your ready Elizabeth." She said.
I reached for the microphone and then I singed the song.
"Fearless" I singed.

When the song was over I looked into the crowd. The whole song I tried not to. But now I had too.
Suddenly, There was a burst of clapping and yelling.
"That was BEAUTIFULL!" Mrs. Hodge told me with an ear to ear smile.
"We would love to have you in our Chorus Group!" Another girl said.

Then everything fell apart.
The girl with Red hair raised her hand in descust.
"Yes Riley?" Mrs. Hodge asked the girl. Her name was Riley!
"Well Mrs Hodge First, I dont know why You want HER in our Singing Group! She doesnt sound Beautifull! She sounds like a Dying Rat!" Riley said with a cruel smile. Then she rolled her eye's.
Right when she said that I could feel the tears forming in my eye's. Then one rolled down my cheek and I covered my eye's and ran out the door.
I sat down on the floor a couple feet away form the Music door.
I heard some voices in the room say "Riley! Why are you so mean!" and some others say "I cant believe you said that to her! Her voice is Beautifull! Unlike yours!".
Then I heard the music door open and someone came out. I didnt want them to see me crying so I turned the other way before I could see who it was.
They sat down next to me. I smelled Sweet Pea lotion. I then knew it was Casey.
"Elizabeth?" she said.
I turned around. My eye's were big and puffy from Crying.
"Dont listen to Riley! She makes everyone feel bad! I dont even know how she got into our Chorus group! She dances and sings Horribly!" Casey said.
I looked down at my shirt. There were tears all over my Baby Blue t-shirt! And it was Rebecca's!
"Dont worry about Riley! She's sounds like a dying RAT! And looks like one too!" Casey said laughing.
I started laughing "That is true! She does look like a rat!" I said.
"YAY! Your talking! Now will you come back into the Music room?" She said hugging me and then she stopped and put out her hand.
I shook my head No. She frowned
Then we heard someone coming out the Music room. It was Mrs. Hodge...And Riley was walking right next to her!
I wiped my tears with my hand.
"Elizabeth, Are you okay?" Mrs. Hodge asked me.
I nodded my head. Riley's face was all squinted up.
"Good! Casey will you go in the classroom? Someone wants to tell Elizabeth Sorry!" Mrs. Hodge said looking at Riley. Casey walked back in the room.
Riley just looked the other way. She wasnt going to get a sorry out of her.
"Rilean Ann Begonia ! Say your sorry!" Mrs. Hodge yelled at Riley. I almost started laughing! What type of last name was Begonia! and what type of First name was Rilean! haha. I just looked up at Riley.
Her hands were Balled up. She oviously didnt like Mrs. Hodge calling her by her real full name!
Mrs. Hodge forced her towards me. "Say your sorry!" Mrs. Hodge said.
"I'm sorry!" Riley mumbled and then gave me a look like she was thinking 'I'm really not!'.
"Okay good! Now you may go to the principals Office!" Mrs. Hodge said to Riley. Riley looked up at her with a shocked face.
"Go to Mrs. Miglioris Office! NOW!" Mrs. Hodge said giving the look Riley gave her back. Mrs. Migliori was our principal
Riley balled her fist up and stomped down the hall.

Mrs. Hidge helped me up and we walked into the Music Room. Everyone looked at me and Casey gave me a smile.
Then we got started on Singing.
