Some people were laughing and already making fun of me because they were sure I'd fail. Miss P. told them to quiet down and as they didn't want bad grades, they stopped.
I slowed down with each step I took, but eventually I reached the front of the class and had to turn around.
The first thing I saw was the look of amusement and superiority in Cassidy's eyes. She surely knew how much she unsettled me with her performance where she openly told me she's "too cool for me" and where everyone cheered for her.
The next thing I saw was Tiffany's encouraging smile. She whispered " Come on, Megan. You'll do amazing. Show them what you're made of. I'm here. you're not alone!"
I couldn't help but smile at that. She was right. I wasn't alone. Not anymore.
So Tiffany handed me my microphone, turned back to the class and started the music.
I was totally frightened...until I heard the first tune.
I'm sure, that moment, my life changed. I felt calmness and even anticipation wash over me and just wanted to start performing.
And that's what I did.
You made me insecure
Told me I wasn't good enough
But who are you to judge
When you're a diamond in the rough
I'm sure you've got some things
You'd like to change about yourself
But when it comes to me
I wouldn't want to be anybody else
Na na na na na na na na na na na na na [x2]
I'm no beauty queen
I'm just beautiful me
Na na na na na na na na na na na na na [x2]
You've got every right
To a beautiful life, come on
By now, I knew that I loved performing. I mean with a real audience. I felt myself relax and when the chorus started, I let loose completely and just enjoyed singing without limitation
Who says, who says you're not perfect
Who says you're not worth it
Who says you're the only one that's heard it
Trust me, that's the price of beauty
Who says you're not pretty
Who says you're not beautiful
Who says
It's such a funny thing
How nothing's funny when it's you
You tell them what you mean
But they keep widening out the truth
It's like a work of art
That never gets to see the light
Keeps you beneath the stars
Won't let you touch the sky
Na na na na na na na na na na na na na [x2]
I'm no beauty queen
I'm just beautiful me
Na na na na na na na na na na na na na [x2]
You've got every right
To a beautiful life, come on
Who says, who says you're not perfect
Who says you're not worth it
Who says you're the only one that's heard it
Trust me, that's the price of beauty
Who says you're not pretty
Who says you're not beautiful
Who says
Who says you're not stop potential
Who says you're not presidential
Who says you can't be in movies
Listen to me, listen to me
Who says you don't pass the test
Who says you can't be the best
Who said, who said
Would you tell me who said that
Who says, who says you're not perfect
Who says you're not worth it
Who says you're the only one that's heard it
Trust me, that's the price of beauty
Who says you're not pretty
Who says you're not beautiful
Who says
Who says, who says
Who says, who says
Yeah, oh, oh
Who said, who said that
Who says, who says
Who says, who says you're not perfect
Who says you're not worth it
Who says you're the only one that's heard it
Trust me, that's the price of beauty
Who's says you're not pretty
Who says you're not beautiful
Who says
When we finished, it was completely quiet until Miss P spoke up. "Wow, girls. That was...incredible. I'm speechless...and you'll learn that that does not happen often. Thank you!"
And with that, the class started cheering. I mean, honestly cheering. That didn't feel fake or ridiculing. It was pure joy. I felt incredible and couldn't stop grinning when I went back to my seat.
On my way, I noticed the sour look on Cassidy's face and couldn't help but feel even better. I totally proved her wrong, when she thought, I was an untalented ugly nerd. I felt so...empowered.
When class was over (two more songs were performed. One was "All About That Bass" by Meghan Trainor, a girl who was made fun of because of her weight sang, and the other was "All of Me" by John Legend, a couple sang as 'their song'), everyone (except obviously Cassidy and Miranda) congratulated me again on my great performance. I think some of them noticed me today the first time ever.
When I was about to leave the classroom, Miss P called me back.
"Megan, your performance was just incredible. I already talked to Tiffany last week about the singing contest that'll start next week at school and she wanted to audition. After your performance today, I was wondering if you'd want to audition as well."
...I didn't know what to say. I mean, I just had my first openly 'gig' and now I should audition for a contest?
"I don't know, Miss P. I mean, I feel honoured, that you think I'd be good enough.. but I'm not sure if that's the right thing..."
"No, Megan." Miss P interrupted me. "Today I finally saw you, your personality. I could see how much you loved singing in front of your class. You need to share your talent. And if you're unsure of singing alone, the audition can be held as a pair. You could sing with Tiffany again. They'll judge you as single contestants, but you wouldn't be alone on stage the first time. What do you say? Do you want me to fill your application and hand it in?"
Truth be told, I didn't have to think about this. "Yeah. That would be amazing, thank you so much Miss P!" I almost shouted...and directly blushed. Oh god, she must think I'm an idiot *face palm*.
But Miss P just smiled at me warmly and said her goodbye.
When I left the classroom, Tiffany almost crushed me by hugging me so tightly, I couldn't breathe.
"Can...not...breathe.." I choked out.
"Oh god, sorry, I'm sorry!" She squealed and instantly let go of me. I caught my breath and thanked god I didn't die today.
"What was that for anyway?" I asked her.
"Well I overheard your conversation with Miss P...and we're gonna audition for the singing contest!! I'm so excited. Okay we need to practice. Oh. my. god. We're gonna blow their minds! What are we gonna wear? We have soooo much to dicuss..*hmpf*" I had to cover Tiffany's mouth to stop her from rambling on and on. But I was laughing.
"You're right. We're gonna wow them!" I agreed.
When we turned to leave for our next class (English with Mr. Stink...his name says it all...), I saw Cassidy and Miranda turn around and head away from us... did they hear our conversation? I knew that Cassidy would participate in any contest she could, so she probably won't be too amused about me joining the singing contest...but right now I couldn't care less.
