Forever After.

We're The Champions?

I met up with Stella, Ivory, and Nicole at the airport in Seattle. Once we got to the hotel and unpacked Stella brought out two boxes of pizza and we dug in. We talked about Katy and how we were kinda doing this for her since I knew it was something that she's always wanted to do (secretly). Whenever we got all of the tears out of the way we went shopping for the perfect out fits. We all had to wear the same outfit so we had to make sure they had enough of the outfit that we choose in our size. Then, we had to make sure we all looked good in the outfit. It took five hours and ten stores to find what we were looking for, but we finally found the perfect outfit. It was a royal blue lace dress that goes right above the knee and we bought black heels for our outfit then we went back to the hotel.
Once we set our outfits out for the competition and got ready for bed we were out because we all knew that we have a long day ahead of us.
Stella's POV
Hours after we fell asleep I woke up and looked at the clock. 10:03pm when did we get so old that we can't stay up past 10 at night? I quietly got out of bed careful not to wake anyone else, and that's when I realized that the only one asleep was Skylar. None of us could fall back asleep; I was just about to lay back down when I saw a pen laying beside the clock. I quickly picked up the pen
"Hey! You guys wanna create some art?" I whispered while looking at Sky and they all nodded. I went first and drew a star on her cheek then when I was satisfied with my work I handed the pen to Ivory and she drew a mustache. One Ivory was finished she handed the pen to Nicole and she drew a line from one of Sky's eyebrows to the other. She woke up and we all threw ourselves on the bed trying to act like we were asleep. Ivory didn't even land on the bed when she threw herself back. She landed on the floor and let out a little squeal in pain which caused me and Nicole to start laughing. Sky went to the bathroom then came back with a clean face and all of us laughing
"I'm gonna kill you!" She whispered "Just like old times." I whispered back trying to hold back my laughter
"Okay but seriously we need to get some sleep." She yawned while crawling back under the covers. She quickly fell asleep and I heard her mumble "I knew I shouldn't have fallen asleep so easily." which made me laugh.
Sky's POV
We all woke up and got ready for the competition. We got on a train to get to the competition on time. When we got there my heart was pounding so hard that I couldn't even hear myself think. I just heard a murmur of thousands of voices then a warm hand was placed on my shoulder "Your on in five." my nerves were shooting through the roof at this point. I looked at my friends and they were all giving someone behind me the stink eye and a cold smooth hand was placed on my shoulder.
"You guys won't stand a chance against us. We have talent and beauty on our side." one voice said and like nails on a chalk board came a different voice "You just don't give up do you Hamilton?" I knew that voice from somewhere
"Actually it's Mendes." Stella snapped "Oh he did not. Maybe it was a dare. Oh yeah I thought he'd never complete the dare I gave him in high school. I said 'Shawn I dare you to date that ugly Skylar and then marry her' and he said 'okay.'" now I knew who it was or at least I had an idea as I turned around.
"Kat. Mack. Hey! How are you guys?" I asked in the kindest way possible you know what they say "kill them with kindness" so that's what I was trying to do.
"Save it we know exactly what your up to!" Kat said as my friends were still giving the stink eye
"Your on!" and with that Mack's group took the stage. The music started then they started singing; I turned to my friends with my jaw dropped
"They stole our song?! They're singing Mercy!" Stella yelled with anger and I had to be quick on my feet
"Do you all know the lyrics to Mean by Taylor Swift?" they all nodded. I walked up to the guy who was running the music "We're up next could you switch the song to Mean by Taylor Swift?" He nodded as I walked off.
We took stage and we stood there like idiots waiting for the music to start then one of the workers walked up to us saying that they had 'technical difficulties' and I gathered the girls and they agreed that we should do it accappela. Only if I was the leader which I didn't want to do, but they talked me into it. We sang until it came to this one part and I looked straight at Mack as I sang it 'Drunk and grumbling on about how I can't sing when all you are is mean.' then Stella joined me as we watched Mack's mouth dropped open 'All you are is mean and a liar and pathetic and alone in life and mean.' one by one they sang the words 'And mean' when the song was over we took a bow.
We all held our breaths as we watched people sing; we held our breaths all over again at the end when they announced the winning group. The winning group wasn't Mack and all of my friends smirked as I was frozen. I gave them my name for our group
"The winner is Skylar Mendel from Wisconsin!" my friends smirks quickly disappeared as we had a big group hug.
