Singing Solo (Completed)

Chapter 28 Supper of Emotions

Morgan sat back in her chair laughing at Ari who was awkwardly sitting in her chair showing Marcus how to play a game on her phone. Marcus was struggling to play the game, since he doesn't have a smartphone.

"Look out, Grand Champ coming through!" Lilly said sitting at the table. Ashley smiled and hugged her tightly.

"Congratulations!!" She squealed.

"Thanks! I'm so excited! And Morgan! You won Solo Comp for girls!" Lilly exclaimed. Morgan nodded, still in a daze. Ari turned her head and looked at Morgan before smiling.

"Hey, you nervous, Morgan?" she asked. Morgan nodded, her hands shaking as she opened her water.

"Don't worry about it. I believe in you," Ari said. A little later, they heard footsteps behind them.

"Arianna? Can I talk with you away from these people for a bit?" Abygale's voice sounded from behind them. Ari looked at the others and then turned to face Abygale.

"Why?" she asked, her voice shaking a bit. Abygale shook her head before she spoke again.

"Because I need to talk to you, do I need a reason?" she asked. Ari looked to the others.

Sam shook his head. "I don't buy it."

Holland nodded in agreement. "I second."

Carter shrugs his shoulders. "Ditto."

Abygale rolls her eyes. "I was going to speak with my friend, do I need a reason to pull her away?"

"Friend?" Ari spit back out, laughing slightly. "You stopped being my friend when you called my friends losers!" Ari's voice shook slightly. Abygale shook her head.

"I just was going to ask you for a favor, that was all. Just please talk with me," Abygale said. Ari rolled her eyes.

"Fine, but just know that I am not your friend," she said, standing. "Sorry guys, I'll be right back."

Sam's eyes gave a glare that looked like death to Abygale as Ari left them all.

As Ari was pulled from the group, Morgan continued to get more and more nervous.

"I can't do this..." she said quietly, resting her head on the table.

Meanwhile, with Ari and Abygale...

"What do you want?" Ari asked Abygale. Abygale smirked.

"We are going to humiliate Morgan once and for all, to the point that she quits," Abygale responded. Ari's jaw dropped.

"What?!" She exclaimed loudly. Abygale put her hand over Ari's mouth.

"Listen, I found the breaker board for the power to the gym. I am going to shut the power off during her solo, all but the mic, and so she will still be able to sing, but the gym will be so filled with screams, no one will know what she sounds like," Abygale explained, a wicked smile crossing her lips.

"But Abygale, why are you telling me your whole plan?" Ari asked. Abygale smiled.

"Because I can't do it alone, and I need your help. And only your help," she said. Ari looked at the group, and then back at Abygale.

"I don't want to bring one of my friends down. You have fun turning off the power, but I don't wish to be arrested," Ari said, turning back. Abygale grabbed Ari's shoulder.

"If you say a word to them about this, you will be my next target," she hissed before letting go. Ari's eyes went wide, but she walked back to the group and sat down with them again.
