Friday Barnes Stories and More

I stared at them in shock. My mic dropped and I fainted.

Once I gained consciousness l immediately saw Ian looking over me "RUOK?!" He exclaims. I nod, "yes just overwhelmed." From my memory I remembered that in the group of kids there was; Melanie, Mirabella, Drake, Rajiv, Patel and a bunch of other kids. I realised I was lying in bed and Ian was sitting next to me. So I got up, put on my cardigan denim shorts and t-shirt over my activewear and exited my dorm.

I walked towards the cafeteria holding Melanie's hand. Once I entered through the door everyone stayed silent, staring at me smugly. "Don't you think they're acting weird?" I ask Melanie "No c'mon let's go get some food!" Once we got our food I located a spot next to Ian. "Hey Ian, why did you enter my room earlier?" "Not now Friday" Ian says secretly, I nod solemnly.

As headmistress; Dr. Belcredi was doing evening announcements, she called out to me. "Friday," she says sternly "did you bring a device to school?" "No ?" I reply quietly. Everyone stared. "Is that so? Then how did I see a crowd of people listening in to the music coming your dorm," She continues "Ummmm... I hate to break it to you but, actually wait, can I talk about this in your office?" I reply "No" she says. I groan "Ladies and gentlemen, you may not believe me, but today I am revealing one of the many secrets I've kept to myself for a long time, the only person who knows this; is my cousin, Amber." "Get to the point" someone interrupts "Ok, ok I was the one singing the song." I blurt. Everyone first stared at me in shock, then burst out laughing. Dr. Belcredi rolled her eyes "Friday, if this isn't the truth, your getting suspended," I was about to say something but then she said "Come up here and preform in front of the whole school. I stared at her, absolutely petrified, then turned red of embarrassment.

My breath quickened as I try to stand. "Go Friday, your voice is beautiful, plus you've got this" Ian says soothingly. He places a hand on my shoulder, this made me slightly blush. My breathing slows down and I relax. Suddenly I have a burst of determination; "I've got this" I say to myself as I slowly stand up and walk towards the stage; with confidence.
