Sing While You Can

Pool 'Fun'

Hey everyone! I'm dedicating this chapter to Snowflaketron! Check out 'The People Project' It's amazing!!!!!!!!!!

All day I tried to avoid my mother from coming into my room. She would become suspicious soon enough but I might as well stretch out my freedom before being on house arrest.

I was waiting in anticipation for the Ed Sheeran concert all day. My acting skills had been put to the test all day – declining food (I know! I do really want to go though…..), coughing, croaky voice – the whole works really. Apart from that it was quite fun as I slept and went on my laptop all day and no-one could contradict me for it!

At the moment I was talking to my brother over facebook who had returned to college after Charlotte’s graduation unfortunately.

Eve- So I need your help Eddyx

Ed- 1. I’ve told you it is Edward in front of mum but ED! And what with sis?

Eve- Kirsty and I are going to a concert tonight but it’s Mum and Dad’s party so I need to fake sick my way out of it? Need tips from actor!!!! X

Ed- Well you will need to put make up to make you look pale and your nose red. Go into my old room and in the closet there will be loads of stage rubbish use that. But I don’t know if you can pull it off honestly…..

Eve- Why? I should! It’s ED SHEERAN! I MUST GO!!!!!!!! X

Ed- Hey same name as me! Anyways in case you haven’t noticed- you cannot act!

Eve- How come???!! What do you know!

Ed- That in your Christmas performance – you laughed when the King Herod caught the wise men!

Eve- In all fairness King Herod was Joey and he was rubbish!

Ed- Joey is a good actor! He is kind of a Hollywood star now!

Eve- I was 6! Come on!

Ed- ~When you were 12 you were and Angel and you laughed when you delivered your speech!

Eve- It was too over dramatized!

Ed- Good luck anyways! I do doubt that it will work but got to go. Got a date! J

Eve- Oohh! Who’s the lucky girl? X

Ed-  Julie from my drama class. Bye sissy x

I shut my laptop and tip-toed into my brothers’ old room which was exactly how he’d left it from 3 years ago. A mess. I opened the stiff wardrobe doors and found a box covered in a thick layer of dust. While sneezing my brains out, I carried it into my room.

I searched through it until I found some chalky-white powder and dabbed that all over my face to make myself look pale. I went a tad overboard and ended looking like I was dead. I tried to make my nose look red however ended up looking like Rudolf. I tried again – Circus Clown.

After many hours I gave up and settled for my 'Vampire with Frostbite' look. I figured it was as good as I was going to get. Placing the box in my cupboard; I went to sit at my keyboard and began to work on my song. I struck a G major chord and began to sing quietly-

I don’t care,

I’ll sing and shout about you know,

Coz I’m ok,

Better off without you friend,

I’ll just sit all alone,

But no company is better than yours,
