Claire's POV
I'm doomed. Literally.
"Come on, Claire. Don't be shy," Mrs. Martin encouraged.
The whole class gasped and I saw Ashley Mallet who I didn't see a while ago.
"Mrs. Martin, did you just call her by first name?" Ashley asked.
Mrs. Martin nodded and said, "Yes, I did call her by first name."
Ashley nodded slowly and fell silent. I then felt Mrs. Martin's gaze on me and I gulped hard and stood up from my seat. I noticed a microphone and speakers and walked towards it very slowly.
Right in front of everyone, I closed my eyes and sang...
The way you move is like a full-on rainstorm
And I'm a house of cards
You're the kind of reckless that should send me running
But I kinda know that I won't get far.
And you stood there in front of me
Just close enough to touch...
I swear, at the first stanza, I can feel my heart pounding. But, I just closed my eyes and let the lyrics take me away.

'Cause I see sparks fly
Whenever you smile
And the sparks fly
Oh, baby, smile
And the sparks fly.
Finishing the song, I looked around and suddenly heard claps and hoots from my classmate. Then, I saw Mrs. Martin looking at me with a grin.
I went to my seat and sat. I inhale and exhaled to calm my loud beating heart down.
"You were amazing!" Celine exclaimed.
"Thanks," I stuttered.
"You know, your the best singer here in class!" she complimented.
I rolled my eyes. "Yeah, right," I said in a sarcastic way.
"No, really. You're actually better than Ashley," she said.
I shook my head disbelievingly. "I don't think so."
"Believe me. You'll see, soon," Celine said.
"Ms. Mallet, the stage is all yours," Mrs. Martin called out.
"Of course, Mrs. Martin," Ashley said over-confidently. Ashley walked with chin up, chest out, and with a queen-like posture. She eyed me and sent me daggers that made me roll my eyes and stuck my tongue out at her.
She looked at me hard with rage filling her brown eyes. I noticed her fists' grip tightening and her knuckles grew white.
She went in front of everyone and took a deep breath. She looked around and our eyes met. She looked at me in disgust while I ignored her simply.
She opened her mouth and started singing...
It's out with the old, in with the new
Goodbye clouds of gray, Hello skies of blue
A dip in the pool, a trip to the spa....

Seriously!? Fabulous by Sharpay Evans. That song REALLY suits her, that's for sure. I looked at Ashley with a shocked expression in seeing her face with glamour and such extravagance. What the...
Iced tea imported from England
Life guards imported from Spain
Towels imported from Turkey
And Turkey imported from Maine
