Battle of the bands

(8) auditions

May POV

We've been practicing all week! My hands hurt for holding the mic and for pressing the keyboard.

Dawn was forcing herself to do the extreme, like holding a high note for 8 minutes to warm her voice up, Misty had to practice the base, and let me tell ya she is a handful. Misty had to also learn the lines to a bunch of new songs that Dawn made.

Leaf was practicing not only her low notes, but also trying to dribble while playing the drums.

I had to practice BOTH notes. I looked at Dawn who kept looking at all of her notes.

"I need to get a drink!" She said walking out.

We all sighed in defeat, "I can handle the pressure but Dawn can't!" Misty pointed out.

"True, I love Dawn but she needs to de-stress. Know what I mean?" Leaf asked, "Totally, speaking of which, have we learned the choreography?" I asked. Our eyes widened.

"THE CHOREOGRAPHY!" We all shrieked.

We got up and headed to the living room.

Dawn POV

I bought my Frappuccino and sat down near the books, I sighed and grabbed all the lyrics. Someone grabbed them.

"What the-"

"Hey DEDE!" The red head said with a grin, "What?" I asked rudely, "Not gonna say hi? I've grown cuter." He winked.

I scoffed, "Can I have my lyrics back?" I asked.

"I KNOW MY SISTER MORE THAN-" I grabbed the paper before he could read the rest.

"Leave me alone Kenny." I said in hope, "You never know, you might lose against me. But no need to worry! You have my shoulder to cry on!" He mocked.

I grabbed my coffee and lyrics and walked out, but Kenny followed. "Geez dawn if you are THAT desperate for my attention just say so, I can give you a shot." He said in a flirty tone.

"I don't Need you, and the only one that wants attention is you! So leave me alone, before I break that mouth so you can't perform tomorrow!" I threatened. He laughed, I heard a hit from behind me.

I looked back and saw Paul punching Kenny.

"OW! WHAT THE HELL MAN!" Kenny yelled, "She said lay off, what part do you not understand?" Paul asked.

Kenny walked away, a sigh of relief came out of my mouth.

"Geez Dawn you look tired." Paul said, I put my hands in my huge sweater. "You were practicing?" He asked, I nodded.

"Me too, until I heard the idiot there." He said, I giggled like I never had done before.

"Thanks." I said with a smile, "Need any help?" He asked, "I actually do, I need to practice my high note, I tried holding it for 9 minutes but only got to 8 then I tried doing low notes, crap! The choreography! I forgot! What about the guitar! UGH I FORGOT TO LEARN HOW TO SHRED!" I said fast then freaking out.

He held my shoulders, "We have 10 hours to practice and then you fall asleep, I will help you do the notes and learn the lyrics, Kay?" He asked sternly."

I nodded, "Good, now let's practice in..... the garden! How about that?" He asked, I nodded and followed him.

We sat in a bench for two and read the lyrics.

"How about we try this song..." he said. "Someday? Oh that is just an idea I had when I was little. I don't think it's singing material..." I said trying to find an excuse.
