I practiced and practiced and practiced, until my throat felt like it was on fire! I practiced so much that I started failing some of my classes. The talent show is in a week, and it's not good when you have to make up work in three classes.
"You need to get your grades up this week or there will be no talent show this Friday!" Said Mrs. G, the guidance counselor.
My mom is panicking and so am I! I have one week, technically five days, to get my grades up or I'm doomed!! Performing in the talent show is the only way to get rid of average Avery and to become, well, Avery! Not average or normal or boring. Just, me. Someone exciting and fun to be around....but no one knows that because I'm in my sisters shadow. Why can't I be like her? She's performing in the talent show too, and she still has all her grades up. I love my sister...I just wish she wasn't perfect. I wish I could be more like her...and less like me. I'm sure everyone else does too. I just don't want to be average anymore...I have got to get my grades up!
