*Blue's POV*

The Davenports drove us to the school and Bree, Leo, Chase, and I waved bye as Mr. Davenport, Tasha, and Adam left to go find seats in the audience. I clutched onto the big plastic dress-sized bag which held my dress in it so tightly that my knuckles turned white. Bree told me she was going to go find some makeup from her purse and would be right back, turning towards the bathroom.

Leo said he needed to fix his tux, because his pants were on backwards. I fought against making another sarcastic comment and watched as he limped away leaving Chase and me.

Chase seemed to notice the petrified look on my face because he touched my arm gently and looked into my eyes. "Are you okay?"

  I swiftly nodded my head, trying not to look exactly into his melted hazel eyes, but around them. Didn't work. "I'm fine. Why wouldn't I be? I'm only about to sing a song that everyone knows in front of a whole bunch of people and if I mess up they'll know I did because they know the lyrics and I've never sung in front of a cloud before and I just-"

              But I was interrupted when Chase kissed me. Not on the lips, on my cheek. Still, it shocked me so much that my heart stopped beating for a second and I choked on air. Chase looked at me and smiled and I smiled shyly back, brushing a loose strand of hair behind my ear.

             "You'll do great, BlueBelle," oh my dog. He just called me BlueBelle... He said that name so softly... "just... If you get nervous, look at me. It's always easier to spot someone you know in the crowd, then just pretend like your singing to them and only them. That's what I do when I have to give speeches. And if that doesn't help, just act like you're alone."

             I looked up at him (he's still taller than me) and one of the corners of my lip pulled up into a smile. And for once... It wasn't a fake one... Chase made me smile. "T-thanks Chase. You'll do great, too. I can't wait to see what Leo has in store for you." I laughed and he smirked and smiled down at me.

             "Well aren't you two just the little lovebirds." Chase and I both flipped around  to face Leo and Bree standing across the room, smirks on their faces. I sighed at the same time Chase did.

             "I'm coming, Bree."

             "I'm coming, Leo." We both said it at the same time in unison and after both faced each other and blushed until going our separate ways.

             "Good luck, Chasey!" I called.

             "Same goes, BlueBelle!" Chase called over his shoulder and I smiled to myself as Bree led me into the girls room, still smirking.

Time skip - 5 minutes until Blue's on

I was standing behind the curtain that led to the auditorium where everyone sat. And I mean everyone. I swear, all the seats were full of people I thought I'd saw once in a lifetime.

I had on my dress, makeup, shoes, bracelets, everything that I needed, but I was so scared. My heart was thumping against my chest as I listened to the audience members chatting.

Squinting my eyes closed, I tried to calm myself down. Everything was going to be okay. They weren't going to burst out laughing at your lame attempt to perfect the vocals of 'Confident'... But what if they did?

What would everyone think of me? Would they be disappointed? Would I become the laughing stock like that one girl named Tag who got pushed around and teased because of her name and when she showed them how much she sucked at playing tag she got thrown into the dumpsters behind the gym and instead got labeled, 'Dumpster Tagger'?
