Chapter Two: Rihanna

«Rihanna»

I rushed to class the wind blowing my hair. The curls bounced in my shoulders and I bumped into someone. We both fell to the ground and I sighed.

I looked to see who I had ran into and saw the new boy, Simon. Great Bailey's crush.

"Sorry," we both said in unison. I grabbed his stuff and he grabbed mine.

"Here," we both said at the same time again. I looked him in the eyes and laughed. I glanced down at his stuff and saw music notes.

"Your in music?" I asked.

"Yeah," he smiled, his smile was one of those half smiles that made you blush.

"Me too," I say smiling. He nodded and then he opened his eyes wide.

"Did you hear about the talent show?" He asked. I nodded, Bailey won't shut up about it. 'I'm going to win it with my new song'.

"Yeah my sister 's sure she'll win," I laughed.

"Do you want to enter with me, I was writing a song and I need a partner to hit the high notes," he asked. I smiled. I could prove to Bailey that she isn't the only talented one.

Dad may finally notice me.

"Yeah I would love that, here's my number," I handed him my phone. Then I noticed we were the only ones in the hallway. Crap I'm late for class.

"We're late," he cussed and he ran off to his class. The only problem was he had my phone with him.

I did not even bother stopping him. I ran to my class and smiled at the thought of beating Bailey. I had been working in a song but it was only for the fun of dancing.

It was fun to sing and dance to. It was called "Waka Waka".

My voice, according to Bailey, sounds like I'm choking on water. I feel like I'm the only one of my family that can't sing. My voice was weird and different so I hope Simon is ok with that.

I had practiced my belly dancing lately. Ever since I was a little girl belly dancing intrigued me. I fell in love with it when I was ten and ever since I've preformed belly dancing shows for my sister's. Dad never cared enough to watch me.

He didn't care about my talents. Not many people did.
