------------ Emma's pov -------------
I looked around for my best friend before standing in line. I was going to sign up for the talent show because all her friends had told me that I had an amazing voice. I am 18 years old.
"Lizzy", I called over my best friend.
"What?", Lizzy asked before coming over to me.
"I am going to sign up for the talent show. Should I?" I asked nervously. Lizzy looked at me with wide eyes.
"Of course, you have to," Lizzy screamed out loud. People started staring. I was nervous but I got in line and signed up saying that I was going to sing. Three days had passed and finally it was time for the talent show.
"Everyone participating for the talent show, come backstage now", Ms. Santos the director said.
"Go", my friends said as they pushed me up the stairs to backstage. I looked around. Nobody else was going to sing. Everybody was doing something else. I quietly sat down, hoping that I was not first.
"You are all going to perform in the order of your last name", Ms. Santos announced.
"Great. Just great.", I muttered to herself. My last name is Aria. I just prayed that someone's last name was Aaa or even Aba. Anything so that I don't have to go first.
"Emma Aria. You will go first", Ms. Santos said as she grabbed my arm and pulled me to the front. Then she announced everybody else's names and got them lined up in order. Then the curtains opened.
"First up, Emma Aria. She is singing a special song that she wrote", Ms. Santos announced to the crowd.
"Yay! Emma. You can do it", Lizzy screamed as I got on stage. I introduced myself and sang. What I did not know was that a person from the audience was a music producer. After the song, I got a standing ovation. Even the hard to please music producer smiled. I got off of the stage and went to my best friend who was beaming.
"OMG!!! That was awesome. You are so good girl." Lizzy screamed. I did not know what to say. I was so shocked that I just nodded. Lizzy did not seem to notice though. After all the other performances, Lizzy and I gathered our stuff as they were walking home together. We were neighbors. We said our goodbyes and headed into our houses.
