Stuck In The Middle

Chapter 7

I had 10 tracks plus 2 bonus tracks on my album. 12 songs in all. All my songs that I wrote personally without professional help. The songs were: How I Feel, You & Me, Shine Through, I'd Do It Again, Repeating Dreams, Without You, In This World, Stand Tall, Average Girl, Invisible, Fireworks, and Come Hold Me. It only took an hour and a half to record but it was all worth it. I walked out of the booth and followed the man that turned out to be the producer to the photography studio to shoot for my album cover. "Rachael, this is Skyler Hale, my new artist," he said to the photographer. "Nice to meet you Skyler," Rachael said. "You too," I said with a smile. "I'll be done with her in about five minutes, Mr. Harris," she said to the producer. He nodded and took a seat in a director's chair. "I'm gonna let you wear your outfit that you have on. Its perfect," Rachael said. I smiled and watched her pull down a different pastel colored splotched background. "Stand here," she said putting me in the middle of the carpet. She adjusted me into the position that she wanted me in. I had my hands on my hips and my hair over each shoulder with just a few strands on my back. "Smile," she said adjusting her camera. I smiled the most beautiful smile I ever did. "Beautiful!" she shouted excitedly. Mr. Harris looked at the picture on the computer screen. "Its perfect!" he said clasping his hands together in excitement. "Do you have any pictured of you and your friends on your phone?" I nodded and handed Rachael my phone. She hooked it up to her computer and I picked out the thirteen pictures I wanted to use. She printed them out into a small booklet with the song titles, credits, and lyrics to each of my songs. She made a ton of copies for all the albums Mr. Harris was going to put out if I was a success. "You're opening for Before You Exit tonight Skyler. You may pick four songs to sing," Mr. Harris told me before answering a call. "Good luck Miss Hale," Rachael said as I walked out of the room. I went back to the stage and smiled. My dream was finally coming true.
