The Australian Girl

Opening Night

It was the opening night of the musical. Everyone was running around like crazy trying to get ready.

"Ok places everyone, show starts in 2 minutes" Artie announced.

I was standing in the corner and I was acting quieter than usual because I was nervous.

"Hey what's wrong?" Asked Sam.

"I'm just nervous" I replied.

"Want me to go find Ryder?" Sam asked

I nodded.

"Hey Ryder your girlfriend needs you because she's nervous" Sam yelled.

I blushed when Ryder came running over to me.

"Hey you ok?" Ryder asked.

"No not really, I'm super nervous, I've never performed in front of this many people before". I said.

"Hey you will be fine, besides the show will go really fast before you know it will be over" Ryder said as he stroked my hair.

"20 seconds guys, break a leg" announced Finn.

The show was starting and Ryder and I took our places.

(Ryder)

Living in my own world

Didn't understand

That anything can happen

When you take a chance

(Emma)

I never believed in

What I couldn't see

I never opened my heart (ooh)

To all the possibilities (ooh)

(Both)

I know that something has changed

Never felt this way

And right here tonight

This could be the start

Of something new

It feels so right

To be here with you (ooh)

And now looking in your eyes

I feel in my heart (feel in my heart)

The start of something new

(Ryder)

Now who'd of ever thought that (ooh)

We'd both be here tonight (ooh yeah)

And the world looks so much brighter (brighter)

With you by my side

(Both)

I know that something has changed

Never felt this way

I know it for real

This could be the start

Of something new

It feels so right

To be here with you (ooh)

And now looking in your eyes

I feel in my heart

The start of something new

(Emma)

I never knew that it could happen

Till it happened to me

I didn't know it before

But now it's easy to see
