SWEATER WEATHER—THE NEIGHBORHOOD
"What you doing?" Emily asked and joined Charlotte on the bed. She was writing down the song she'll be performing for the play.
"The song I'll be performing. I'd have gone too the studio too try the song out, but Randy sent me a beat too use."
"So…you're just going too sing along with the unfamiliar beat, for the play?"
"Yep. And I'mma likely don't need disturbance, because I'll be called upon soon."
"Have you picked any dress for the show? I can help with one." She got up and walked too the wardrobe. She opened it.
"Uhmm…I think I'll wear a simple gown. Maybe a satin dress. Just check any for me."
"Already on it." Emily said, searching the hanged up dresses for the perfect dress she'd wear. She saw one; a satin royal blue dress, with ropes to tie at the back, and it's handless.
"This will be okay." She took the dress and showed it too Charlotte, who agreed.
"I'll say, for the first time you have taste in fashion."
Emily frowned.
"Are you trying too say the dresses I've been wearing doesn't make sense?"
"That's not what I'm saying. But too be honest, I do pick most of your outfit." Charlotte said, which was true.
"Well, I don't blame you." She threw the dress on her. "Find a shoe too peer with it. I have my own play to prepare for." She said and walked out.
The room is dimly lit, audience sitting down while eating and preparing too listen too the next performance.
Charlotte is in the dressing room, inhaling and exhaling, after Taylor and her partner finished making her up. She looked at the mirror, her light skin color glowing like the sun. Her dark curly hair is done in a braided bun, her face all done in a light way, making her face look natural.
She's wearing the dress Emily picked for her, with a silver platform shoe mixed with a touch of royal blue.
The door opened and sam walked in, she's under the costume department.
"Charlotte, you're up next." She said and left, and Charlotte followed behind her.
Charlotte(Nova) slowly walked up the stairs, feeling nervous. She stood on the stage, a standing micro phone in front of her, and the audience all focused on her.
The pianist started playing the keyboards, using the beat Nova gave too him from Randy.
'When my heart screams out for attention
My mouth speaks the opposite, sealing the heart from speakin' farther.
And then you look in my eyes
And I can feel you reading my inner soul
The part that won't speak out.'
'I've come too learn the difference, where is choose to keep silent
And let my inner wound expand wider.
It hurts too see you moving on
And I stay in a corner, hurting too the bones.
My heart has been shattered
There's no one else who can read me like you do…'
She kept on singing, allowing the audience to marvel at her angelic voice. After she finished singing, the whole audience cheered and applauded her, she bowed her head and left the stage. The stage host came up too announce the next singer.
"That was amazing." A young man said too her , as she drank from her drink.
"Thank you."
"I'm Henry by the way." He stretched his hand for a handshake.
