Sing It For the World

Chapter 22

~Angela~

"Well I actually will tell you what song I'm singing. I will be singing It's Alright, It's Ok by Ashley Tisdale. I think this is a very energetic song but still it's telling a guy off." I explained.

"What are you talking about? You don't have a guy to tell off to." Mikayla remarked. I got mad at that point that I started gripping the microphone really hard. Then the instruments started and I had to sing.

I'm stronger now

It's Alright, it's OK

I'm so much better without you

I won't be sorry

As I sang the last part I stared right at Mikayla. Whatever happened in the future after I uncovered what she is hiding I won't be sorry. She took my spotlight away from me and that's all I've ever really wanted. To be seen and actually wanted. I was almost there until Mikayla came. I wanted to rip her guts out.

The song finished and everyone applauded except Mikayla. We stared at each other down until the teacher interrupted by giving me what I dreaded.

"Both of you were brilliant! Mikayla gave an emotional message while you gave us an energetic message. Since I can't decide I will let the students decide next week before we are officially off for Christmas Break." The teacher explained. I wasn't able to hold my anger anymore that I threw the microphone to the wall which caused everyone to cover there ears while I stormed out of there.

Once I was outside there was people in my way so I pushed them to the lockers. I didn't care who I hurt I just wanted to choke Mikayla right now.

I passed every hallway until I was outside. The bell had just rang so many students were roaming outside and were rushing to their dorms.

I finally got to my dorm and since my roommate wasn't there I sat on my bed and a tear ran down my cheek.

 I never showed this side to anyone. To everyone else I was known as the mean, bitchy, cruel, selfish girl that didn't care about anyone else but myself. I actually was that person but because I never fit in back with my family.

They always made me feel like the outcast. All I wanted was to have the spotlight on me at least once but Mikayla seems to be getting all of it without even trying. I've tried for more than a year and the only way I can get that is by being the popular, bitchy girl.

I hated crying because it made me feel vulnerable and weak so I wiped them away and got up. I went to the restroom and splashed cold water to my flushed face. Then I dried it with the small towel hanging on the rack and went back outside. I was going to follow the tradition as last year and every year since the Show Choir contests started.

~Mikayla~

"So are you gonna do the choir tradition?" Carson asked as we entered our dorm. We were gonna change so then we can go get lunch at the school cafeteria.

"What the hell is the choir tradition?" I looked at him once he entered the small kitchen in search of chips since apparently he couldn't stand the hunger. Jason and Jacob then took his chips and started eating to.

"You don't know what it is? The show choir tradition is when the people competing to be the main vocalists sing every day during lunch or free time and the one who gets the crowd or audience at the time the most attention or most crowd that actually likes the performance wins. They last til the last day before Christmas break." Lizlee explained this time since Carson was busy beating the guys for the chips. I was just glad the awkwardness between us was over.
