Competition Of A Lifetime

Chapter 6:

I scrolled through twitter for the 100th time today! The results were bound to be out. Suddenly a tweet from Adam pops up.

“@Skydoesminecraf: The top 20 have been chosen! Emails will be sent around 11pm! Goodbye and good luck to those who made it!”

I instantly checked the time. 10pm. I ran to the fridge and grabbed a can of coke and added a bit of Jack Daniels to it. I know in America it is illegal drink if you are under the age of 21, but I am Australian and mum likes to give some to me whenever I want it. I miss her. She lives in Australia with the rest of my family, but she sends me bits and pieces of alcohol through the mail.

Walking around to my grand piano I begin to play a song. (Birdy- Skinny Love) I love music and I could play almost any instrument. The piano was my favourite. I never told anyone about my ability to play music, sing, and dance.

Come on skinny love just last the year

Pour a little salt we were never here

My my my - my my my - my my my my - my my ...

Staring at the sink of blood and crushed veneer

I tell my love to wreck it all

Cut out all the ropes and let me fall

My my my - my my my - my my my my - my my ...

Right in the moment this order's tall

I told you to be patient I told you to be fine

I told you to be balanced I told you to be kind

In the morning I'll be with you

But it will be a different kind

I'll be holding all the tickets

And you'll be owning all the fines

Come on skinny love what happened here

Suckle on the hope in light brassiere

My my my - my my my - my my my - my my ...

Sullen load is full so slow on the split

I told you to be patient I told you to be fine

I told you to be balanced I told you to be kind

Now all your love is wasted then who the hell was I?

Cause now I'm breaking at the britches

And at the end of all your lines

Who will love you? who will fight?

And who will fall, far behind?

Come on skinny love

My my my - my my my - my my my - my my ...

Come on skinny love

My my my - my my my - my my my - my my ...

I played a few more songs and watched a few YouTube videos. My phone buzzed on the piano and I almost fell off my chair.
