Hidden Talent

Chapter 3 - Today?!?!

I was asleep before I woke up to the feel of my bed shaking. I shot up in my bed so quick that my legs got all tangled up in my blankets causing me to stumble off the edge of my bed and landing on my bedroom's wooden floor.

"Ugh," I groaned in pain the floor caused me.

"Finally! I've been here trying to wake you up for the last few seconds. Hurry up and get off the floor. We have a busy day today," I heard Eco's voice shouting at me. I shot up from the floor and gave her my best glare. I must have looked quite frightening with my bed hair all over the place because when Eco looked at me she jump back a step.

"No. You have a busy day. I'm just going to lay here on my comfy bed," I replied as I crawled back into my bed wrapping the blankets around my body. Before I could fall back asleep I felt a pair of cold hands grab my ankles from under the blankets and dragged me out of bed, once again causing me to hit the floor.

"Ow!" I looked up just to see Eco looking down at me with an innocent evil smile on her evil looking face.

"Now. Get the freak up and go to the bathroom to get ready like I told you earlier! Got it!" Eco yelled at me. Told you. She would do anything to get what she wants. And in my case she wants me to follow her directions or she'll start to yell at me. She knows how I don't like being yelled at and how it freaks me out.

I nodded my head rapidly at her and headed to my bathroom, following her directions. I might be mad at her. Heck no, what am I talking about. I'm way more than mad, furious, but still I can't go back out there and face her wrath.

Once I finished, I stepped into my room just to find Eco chilling at my desk which was filled with makeup products, nail polishes, curling iron, straightening iron, and a jewelry box to the side of the desk.

"What the heck is all this?" I questioned.

"Did you forget what you're about to do? Today is the day."

"What are you talking about?" I was so confused in the moment. What is she talking? It can't possibly be about the dare because that not until next week.

"Discovered Rumors auditions are today."

"Ha ha," I fake laughed with a straight expression on my face. "No, seriously what are you doing with all these things? The dare is not up until next week."

"No. It's today. And before you say anything about how I'm lying. Here," she handed me here phone with the website of Discovered Rumors on the screen. "Look at that and tell me it's not today and I'll leave."

I scrolled through the website and before I could get any further down, in big, bright, bolded letters it read 'Auditions Today in California'. I handed Eco her phone back.

"It's not today," I told her with a gloomy expression signifying I was lying and know it is today. She was right.

"I meant you have to be right for me to leave," she said as she pushed me toward my desk that was filled with everything she needed to get me ready.

After an hour and a half Eco finished my makeup, another hour she finished my hair, and like thirty minutes to paint my nails, saying everything needed to be perfect for today. Let me just say, it felt like torture. All the pulling and plucking, it was horrible.

"Finally," I said once Eco said I could get up.

"You know that we still aren't finished, right?"

"Ughhhh!" I threw my head back in frustration.

"Here." She gave me a piece of paper with a list of songs.

"What's this for?"

"Those are the songs I picked out for you to sing for your audition. Pick three. One will be your main one, while the other two will be backup just in case the judges want to switch your first one. I'll be back with your dress and shoes." She said before she ran out the door.

"Ugh. Fine. What do we have?" I looked through the list and noticed all the songs were high in vocals. She definitely wants to embarrass me. In the end I had my three songs picked out.

Eco strolled in a few seconds later with a bag hanging from her arm and a shoe box in her other hand. She put the items on my bed.

"You're going to love this," she said a huge smile on her face.

"Doubt it," I mumbled. In return, I earned a glare from Eco.

Eco opened the bag and pulled out a turquoise dress. The top half was black with a corset top and black laced butterfly design coming down the sides of the sleeveless top. The bottom was turquoise with ruffles. The dress was short, ending mid thigh, but Eco was right the dress was gorgeous.

Once I had the dress on I needed Eco's help on tying the back. The dress might be gorgeous but suffocating. I think Eco did that on purpose. Is she trying to kill me or something? She added a black cropped blazer, sleeves rolled up to my elbow to go with the dress.

"Put the shoes on while I get the jewelry, Everly," Eco said.

I grabbed the shoe box that read Charlotte Russe on the pink box top. I opened it up to see black zipper-belted wedge booties. They looked so pretty.

As I put on the last shoe Eco grabbed my hand and gently pushed an arrow ring on my left hand's middle finger, a feather like ring on my right hand's ring finger, and a guitar ring on my right hand's thumb. She then moved on and placing a necklace that read 'dream' around my neck. After, she placed a butterfly wing with triple chain earrings on my ears. It hanged from the top of my ears till my earlobes.

"Done," Eco shouted happily at her creation. I walked up to the mirror behind my door to see myself. My hair was left wavy. I wore peach lipstick, black eye-shadow, eyeliner, and mascara, and my nails were painted sparkly purple. Not bad.

"Let's go," I said to Eco as I walked out the door.
