"Ok class. Today, we will practice for the upcoming singing competition I'm going to have. So, I want everyone to take a slip of paper from this jar. Since we have an even amount of people, only half of you will choose a slip of paper. Then, that particular person will become your singing partner. You two must choose a song to practice and sing in front of the class for the next few weeks. It is your choice however, to decide whether or not to participate in the singing competition. Alright Alex, you first." I watched as everyone chose a slip. I was so frightened. I don't get to choose a name, so someone will just walk up and say 'Hey, you're my partner and you have no choice.' Oh god. I probably shouldn't be worrying TOO much, but I'm not even sure what it is I'm worried about! Am I worried about their singing skills, or the fact I don't want to depend my grade on some ugly goon? Well, I'll just sit quietly and completely not at all patiently for some again, random person to choose my name. What am I doing to myself?

"Hello, Emma?"

"Yes, I'm Emma."

"I'm Ky. Ky Markham. I guess we're singing together."

I tentatively looked up to see an unfamiliar face. Sure, I guess I knew him. We weren't friends though. He had pearly white teeth, and dirty blonde hair styled sort of like Ron Weasly from Harry Potter. With bright blue eyes and I cheeky grin, I knew we would be friends. I stood up and nodded. "Alright then. Let's hurry up and choose a good recording studio." we ran to the biggest one. I slung my guitar case in a corner, and opened it up. There were several microphones, speakers, and like any recording studio, a sound booth. I've never been in here, so I hope Ky knows what he's doing. Almost as if he read my thoughts, he elbowed me lightly and said, "Don't worry. I know how everything works." I sighed in relief, and sat on a stool. "So Ky, what song do we want to do?" I asked. He tilted his head backwards and sighed, "I'm not sure. I'll grab my laptop and google some duets." he left the room and I began putting my guitar in tune. I thought about a good song. We were allowed to do remixes. What's a good song to do? One that everyone knows? Then, it suddenly hit me! "Ky! I have one!" he ran in. "What? What is it?" he asked eagerly. I told him, and he smiled ear to ear. "That's perfect!" we immediately started working, and changing the lyrics. We both decided to not use any instruments of our own, but make a karaoke version to sing along with. I was really excited.

I was walking home from school, when it started pouring rain. I Pulled my thin hoody over my head, but the water started to soak through it. I sighed and began jogging home. Suddenly, a car skidded towards the curb and splashed water all over me. Now I was officially soaked. "Ugh! What the freak?!" I exclaimed. "Hey Emma! Thought you might want a lift!" it was none other than Nick himself. "No thanks. I think I'll walk." I said. I began walking away, but he got out of his car and grabbed my elbow. "Come on Emma. You'll get sick." he said. He looked almost... Mad. This was suspicious. Now I'm definitely NOT getting in that car. "After you almost drowning me and now soaking me with your stupid car and holding me out here in the rain, walking seems like the better option." I tried jerking my elbow away, but he grabbed it tighter. Now, I was mad. I looked at my muddy converse, and in one swift motion, I grabbed his shoulder with my free hand, hooked my right foot around his left ankle, and pulling his shoulder forward and yanking his foot out underneath himself, he landed in a big mud puddle. I giggled at him, and said "Bah bye Nick." while waggling my fingers at him. Now I have to go see Marcus. I hope he's not mad at this, or not telling him about the incident at the party. Great. Just great. I sighed to myself and began the walk to the laboratory.
