Conquer It

The Man in the Tie

"MOM!" i yelled as i fell on the ground. "You had to get me heels??!" Josh was rolling on the ground laughing. My mom ran over and helped me up.

"Im sorry! They went with the outfit," She started dusting of the cardigan with leggings and the stupid high heels. She starte dwalking intot he auditorium. "Josh! Come on,"

He grunted. "yes ma'am,"

We walked into the auditorium and saw a man sitting at a table. he was the only one there. He must of rented it out. ......fancy. My mom half walked. half jogged over to him. He turned around right before she got to him.

"Well hello!" he said standing up. She stopped in front of him.

"Nice to meet you!" her voice raised like 7 octaves. nice mom.

"You too. And this must be Rockelle," he said walking over to me.

"You can call me Rocki, Sir," i said to him.

"And you can call me Patrick!" wow. this guy is too enthusiastic. he stuck out his hand. I shook it and things got a little awkward for a second. I tried taking my hand back but he just kept oin shaking. When he finally let go he walked over to my brother. "And who is this handsome young man?"

"Im Josh. Rocki's brother," they shook hands and it looks like things got awkward for them too.

My mom broke in. "So, lets talk." We all sat down at a table. "What is Conquer It?"

"Conquer It is a show sort of like American Idol. But instead of adults, its teens. We picked 10 kids who had some serious talent and brought them down to LA to compete for a million dollar recording contract."

We arrived in LA about a week later. I was back stage in my dressing room listening to a announcer name all of the teens who got to come down here to compete. They convinced me to come down here to be on the show. I mean how many times does an opportunity come like this? I have butterflies in my stomach SO BAD! What if i mess it up? That would be so embarassing! I started looking around the room for a window i could jump out of. But then i realized i was in the middle of the building. Great.

Someone poked their head through the door. "Your on in 5 minutes Rockelle,"

"Okay," i said. My voice is really shaky. I grabbed my giutar and started to warm up with some vocal exercises. I also ran through some scales.

"Come on sweetheart," i noticed my mom now had her head peeking through the door. I walked over to her.

"Mom I cant do this,"

"Dont worry. Yes you can. Your gonna be great!" She pushed me over to a couple of stage attendants who then pushed me onto a stage.

"There she is! Rockelle Adamms!" Someone came up to me and led me to a stool in the middle of the stage. "How are you?"

"Uhhh...nervous," everyone started laughing. What was so funny?

"Well im sure you'll do great!" they patted my shoulder and walked off.

"Smile," someone said to me. I freaked out because i was the only one on stage. Who said that?

"Rocki! Smile!" i finally remembered that they put an earpiece in my ear before the show. I feel stupid now. I started smiling. "Okay now start playing the guitar in 3..." oh god, "2..." i cant do this!, "1....go,"
