"C'mon, guys. Let's go sing something!" Keiko led the way to the little stage.
Ashanté followed, wondering why she wasn't nervous anymore. She absolutely hated singing in front of other people, except in church.
But in church it's not just me. Everyone sings in church.
Singing without a choir was like giving a speech in class, yet it didn't feel like giving a speech would be such a big deal right now.
Must be the mojitos.
The girls flipped through the song list, but Ashanté's vision blurred.
"What was that one? The Dixie Chicks?"
They finally found the perfect number.
"Runaway June! Lipstick!"
They burst into giggles again, then Keiko said something that stunned Ashanté.
"Ash, you sing lead. I'll sing low harmony, Tiff, you sing high. Ready?"
Ashanté just gaped.
