Jessica could you come here?" My mothers voice floats from the living room. Oh great, now what. I walk to the living room but stop at the doorway.
"Yeah. What?" I ask leaning on the doorframe. My mother turns around in her love seat. She knows I won't come in so she changes her seat so shes next to Greg and ?was facing the door.
"I revived a call from one of your teachers today."
Oh great this cant be good. "Which one?"
"Your vocals teacher actually"
Like I said. This can't be good. " and..."
"And well I didn't know you could sing!" She practically yelled.
"Yeah well there is a lot you don't know about me anymore." I mumble.
"Sorry what was that? Any way I want you to sing."
"What now?"
"Yes now"
I know I won't get away till I sing so I might as well get it over with. I plug my headphones in and click the first song I see. It turns out to be anything but ordinary by Avril Lavigne.
Hmm, hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm, hmm
Sometimes I get so weird
I even freak myself out
I laugh myself to sleep it's my lullaby
Sometimes I drive so fast
Just to feel the danger
I want to scream it makes me feel alive
Is it enough to love?
Is it enough to breathe?
Somebody rip my heart out
And leave me here to bleed
Is it enough to die?
Somebody save my life
I'd rather be anything but ordinary please
To walk within the lines
Would make my life so borin'
I want to know that I have been
To the extreme
(I feel)
So knock me off my feet
(I feel)
Come on now give it to me
(Ohh)
Anything to make me feel alive
Is it enough to love?
Is it enough to breathe?
Somebody rip my heart out
And leave me here to bleed
Is it enough to die?
Somebody save my life
I'd rather be anything but ordinary please
I'd rather be anything but ordinary please
Let down your defenses
Use no common sense
If you look, you will see
That this world is a beautiful, accident
(La, la, la, la)
Turbulent, succulent, opulent
Permanent, no way
(La, la, la, la)
I wanna taste it
Don't wanna waste it away yeah, yeah
Sometimes I get so weird
I even freak myself out
I laugh myself to sleep it's my lullaby
Is it enough?
Is it enough?
Is it enough to breathe?
Somebody rip my heart out
(Somebody)
And leave me here to bleed
Is it enough to die?
Somebody save my life
I'd rather be anything but ordinary please
Is it enough?
Is it enough to die?
Somebody save my life
I'd rather be anything but ordinary please, ohh
I'd rather be anything but ordinary please
I finished singing and looked up at my them. My mother was crying and Greg just sat there with this expression of aw and shock.
Without a word I turn and walk out of the house and start the walk to my garage.
~••~••~••~••~••~••~••~••~••~••~••~•
Plopping my bag down at the door I flick the lights on.
Hey Cricket I'm "home"!" I hear the clatter of something falling to the ground then the scampering of feet. Just as I round the corner of one of my many ramps a fur ball collides with my shins. "Hey man what's up?" I say picking up the ball of fur and placing it on my shoulder. See the ball of fur is my dog I got him 2 years ago for some reason or another... But yeah he's a little mutt and I have no idea what mix he is.
Anywho I grab my board and walked over to my music, set up and plug in my iPone, then get down to business.
****5 HOURS LATER****
The music was cut off abruptly as I was halfway through a stunt. Finishing it I look up to see Greg standing there leaning against the sound system.
" Can I help you? " I ask not to politely.
"Yes you can actually, you can start tomorrow by going down to see you vocals teacher and telling her you will take the part of the soloist in the next show at the end of the year."
"And if I don't?"
"We'll then you can kiss your board, your monkey and this garage goodbye."
K I new he was low, but this is just like... I don't know. The mother fucking son of a bitch this is like blackmail!!!!!! Well fuck him. Part of my brain was saying but the greater half was saying: can you really live without your board?? And the truth is no. No u can't.
"K fine ill do it." I yell over my thoughts
And with those words still ringing in his ears he turned and walked out if the room leaving me behind with a huge problem. I'm not ready for this.
