Chapter 2 – The Audition
Bea anxiously waited outside the classroom Ne5. She was so nervous! The butterflies inside her stomach where going crazy. Bea’s emotions where running wild!
Jade was standing next to her provoking her about the song she was going to sing. I care by Beyonce. I helplessly told her to be quiet and she quickly replied with “I’m practicing my song?”
“Yes Jade I know but, I need to practice mine too. I need to go over the lyrics!”
As you may have notice I am quite short tempered. Jade annoys me quite a lot!
She looked at me and scowled.
“Could we have Jade, please?” Mrs king said raising her voice to be heard over all of the chatter.
Jade walked past me nudging my shoulder whilst pouting her lips. ‘God I hate it when she does that!’ I thought to myself.
I just ignored her and carried on practising my song. I had to do my best. It had to be perfect. I decided to sing ‘rolling in the deep’ by Adele. It was a hard song but I felt I could sing it well.
Jade began her song:
I told you how your hurt me, baby
But you don't care
Now I'm crying and deserted, baby
But you don't care
She was alright until the Chorus.
I thought she could belt but it turned into a screech! Why does she sound like she has a cold?
Well, I care
I know you don't care too much
But I still care, la la la la la, la la la la la la
I was smiling to myself thinking, what was I worried about? She wasn’t horrendous but she wasn’t as amazing as I thought she was going to be! I was more confident about this audition.
She finished the song with another screech!
She walked out the classroom with a big smile on her face.
“Well done Jade your really good.” I said lying… oh well.
She replied with “Thanks I know.”
VAIN!
Mrs King came out again. “Could we please have Bea Funnell?” I walked up to the door keeping a steady pace so I didn’t fall over. My legs felt like jelly!
I opened the door with my shaky hand.
“H-h-ello.” I stuttered with a nervous little giggle on the end.
“Hello, so what are you going to be singing to us today Bea?”
I decided I needed to look confident for them to believe I could stand up to the whole school and sing my heart out.
“I am going to be singing ‘rolling in the deep’ by Adele. She quickly tapped it into youtube.
The music started. The butterflies got even more crazy then the where before. My queue to start singing was in3-2-1.
“There’s a fire starting in my heart. Reaching a fever pitch and its bringing me out the dark.”
I wasn’t sure weather they where smiling or laughing. I was now worried. Very worried.
The chorus was coming up and I wasn’t sure if I was going to do a screechy Jade or a smooth belt.
“We could have had it all rolling in the deeeeeeeeppp!”
OMG I did it! I hit the smooth belt! This is totally amazing! One of the judges were smiling and clapping! OMG OMG OMG! I cant explain my excitement. Was I going to get noticed here at St. Hopes?
