"Gonna hold my baby gonna hold her tight gonna grab some afternoon delight!" Emma sings.

We were in the auditorium rehearsing our choir concert soon. Emma is singing her 5th solo ever. I won't doubt it, she's pretty good. However, it does seem pretty fishy the choir director keeps on picking her for the solos. After the song, Afternoon Delight, ends, we sing another song.

"Toucha Toucha Toucha Touch me! I wanna get dirty!" Emma sings, "Fu-fu-fu-fu-fu-fufill me! Creature of the night!"

Yep. Rocky Horror's Touch me song. This is Emma's sixth solo. There was supposed to be a male duet partner for Emma but she insisted that none of the guys in choir deserve to touch her and that she'd rather touch herself. She's singing both parts of the duet now.

"Great job guys!" The choir director says, "Just kidding. You sucked except for Emma."

We all get out of the stage, however, the choir director calls me.

"Justin, go get me some speakers backstage." He says.

I agree and walk into backstage. A funky scent enters my nose and cough loudly. The speakers should be here some where.

"SOMEBODY-" A muffled voice below me yells.

Emma

Once everyone leaves the auditorium, I walk up to my director.

"Thank you for the solos, again." I say.

I walk up to him.

"You know why I give you those solos... right Emma?" he says.

"I know..." I say.

I stand in front of my choir director and get on my knees. I then dig through my purse and find fifty bucks. I stand up and give it to him

"You're a bitch and I hate you. But you do pay me so I'll keep on giving you solos. Go check on Justin backstage. He's taking too long.

Justin

I start banging on the floor.

"Hello?" I say.

There was a voice! I swear. I try to open the other doors backstage but each of them are locked shut. I find a broom and prepare to lunge it at one of the doors.

"Just what do you think you're doing?" A voice says.

I drop the broom and turn towards the voice. Emma.

"There was a voice here!" I say, pointing below me.

"You think I'm crazy?" She says.

"A crazy bitch!" I scream.

Emma falls to the ground, I walk up to her. She starts crying.

"WHY DOES EVERYONE CALL ME THAT?!" She bawls.

I pet her hair, not knowing what to do.

"Well," I say, "You manipulate people, starve them, bribe them, kick them out of their homes..."

"You're right." She says, "I need to change."

"And prison didn't do that?"

"I was in there for two hours, I wasn't scared or anything."

"Okay then." I say.

"Well bye." Emma says as she leaves.

"Bye?" I say, confused.
