"There she is! Our future pop star!" Mum said as I came into view. Everyone was already downstairs having breakfast and talking about the day ahead. When Mum announced my presence, conversations ceased and they all looked at me.
"Woo!" cheered Jeremiah.
"Guys stop," I said as Mum came to hug me.
"Are you excited, Abby?" Laurel asked as I stood between her and Susannah.
I nodded, "yeah, but I'm also really nervous."
"Why? You do cheerleading performances where you've sang in front of people before," questioned Jeremiah from the dinner table next to Belly.
"I know, but this time feels different," I shrugged.
"Are you nervous about not raising enough money for your charity, sweetheart?" Susannah wondered concerned.

"You'll do great, Abby," Conrad said keeping his eyes on me, "you've got nothing to worry about."
"Thanks, Con," I smiled. I looked at Laurel and leant in closer inspecting her face, "are you wearing makeup?"
"Okay!" she sighed making everyone laugh. Before I arrived, they were teasing her about it, "don't you have a rehearsal to get to?"
"Oh," Mum said with a gasp, "she's right. We've got to go. Come on."
