The Switch Up

Chapter 12: Three Days Left

I woke up at noon this morning well this afternoon. I had stayed up all night encouraged to finish my song. And I did finish most of it. I just need an ending now. I am going to eat breakfast first and then maybe work on it some more.

I got out of bed and put my glasses on, I don't  feel like putting my contacts in. I slipped on a pair of my boot slippers which are black. Then I put my hair in a really messy bun and headed downstairs.

I made my self a bowl of "Lucky Charms." When I was half way through eating my cereal, I got a text from Shawn. I looked at my phone to see that he has texted me three other times.

I texted him back saying that I didn't go to sleep until six in the morning and then didn't wake up until noon.

My phone buzzed: Be ready in 10. 😉

I replied with an ok.

I finished my bowl of cereal, then out my bowl and spoon in the sink. Then I walked upstairs to take a really fast shower.

When I got out of the shower, I saw that I only had three minutes to get dressed. I hurried up and got dressed. Today I decided to wear a dress. It was an all or dress just plan and simple. The top part of the dress was a cream color, while the bottom part was a dark blue and had pink flowers go down it. In the middle was a dark brown belt. I put on a black cardigan and then some brown boots with fringe on it. I put my hair in fishtail, it went past the white part of the dress. I really need a haircut.

After I was done getting ready, I went down stairs and wrote my dad a note telling him that I was with Shawn. He had worked all last night and I didn't want to wake him. I quickly made him coffee and the walked outside. Shawn was waiting patiently in his car. I checked my phone and saw that he had been out here for five minutes.

As I got into the car, I apologized.

"It's fine, I was just trying to beat your high score on flappy bird," he said with a smile.

"Let me guess you didn't beat me?" I asked.

"No I mean how in the hell did you get 786?" he asked me in shock.

"I don't know I guess I am addicted to it. What was you highest score?" I asked him.

"107," he said shyly.

"It's ok. I'm better at playing flappy bird and your better at music," I say.

"Sure. Well anyways I am taking you shopping today," he said and that is when I stopped breathing.

"What?!Why?!" I asked.

"Not clothes shopping. I know you hate shopping. And I wouldn't force you to do something you don't like."

"What are we shopping for?" I asked.

"You will see."

"Ugh."

After we listened to some music that I tried really hard not to sing to, we finally arrived at the store. I didn't sing because he doesn't need to hear me, that is the only secret people are close to me know, which includes Sophie, my father, and my my mother.

I know he has heard me sing once but that was a mistake. I am not letting him hear me again. I am too much of a scary cat. I mean what if I sing terrible? Or hit the wrong note? Or come into early? This is exactly why I am not going to be famous.
