I heard one of the rappers walk off stage that's when I knew it was my turn. My stomach started aching, I was nervous, I had always wanted to rap and this was my one chance. I took I deep breath in and out. The thought of walking out crossed my mind but I knew if I did I would be a coward. I heard the door behind me open, I quickly spun around and faced the guy. It was TDaug.
"Yo Stem your up, Goodluck man."
He walked out and shut the door behind him. I looked in the mirror as terror started to rush through my veins. I approached the door and walked out I could hear the roar of the crowd.
"It's her first ever rap battle guys please welcome to the stage, Stem!"
I heard the host call my name, I knew it was now or never. I walked onto the stage as the crowd went silent. I looked around the room, that's when I really started too feel fear.
"Versing Stem is JasmineJ" as the host said that a tall, dark colored woman walked onto the stage. The crowd started to cheer, I was considering walking off stage but the thought of rap kept me going."As it's Stems first rap battle JasmineJ you can go first" the host put a microphone in JasmineJ's hands as the music started to play. JasmineJ opened her mouth and started to rap. "This Bitch think she can beat me, she's like half the size of me, you don't belong here, your whiter than white, but I want to see you put up a fight. I wanna see you cry to your momma once I've finished this verse. I mean look at you, you ain't a gangster, your a wanker. Your white trash baby. Maybe after i've murdered you ill phone the ambulance for you. You white rappers are not meant to be rappers so leave it to the professionals. Oh shit have a mentioned your hair is so orange I could see it from a thousand miles. Get off the stage before I push you off babes."
The music stops and JasmineJ hands the microphone back to the host. She smirks at me as she faces the crowd and the crown begin to roar. I was speechless I had no idea what too say. The music starts to play again and I put the microphone to my mouth. I try to say something but I just can't. I look around, the crowd were dead silent, JasmineJ was smiling to herself, she knew she had won. I give the microphone back to the host and storm off stage. I jog into the bathrooms and lock myself in a cubicle. My eyes begin to fill with tears, I blew my one opportunity. I put my head in my hands and the tears run down my face. Everything I have ever worked for was gone.After 5 minutes I picked up the courage to walk outside. I was embarrassed, I knew I was a coward. I walked out the bathroom, luckily the corridor was empty. I quickly walked down the corridor. I started to think about what my momma was going to say when she finds out I chickened out. I carry on walking down the corridor and I feel a hard knock on my shoulder. I look up and see a guy standing in front of me.
"Yo Sorry I knocked into you, I watched your performance, man what that woman said was harsh, I walked off stage too. Guess we're the same."
"Yeah' I guess we are."
"I'm Marshall by the way, but I prefer B-Rabbit, ill see you around man." Marshall walks away in the other direction.
He was pale skinned with black hair underneath his grey beanie. He had rips in his white t-shirt, he also had a rip in his black jacket. I looked behind me as he walked off. He looked back and saw me staring at him, I quickly looked forward and carried on walking. I walked out of the building and looked at it, I was starting to regret walking off stage but unfortunately it had already been done.
"Fuck it" I said to myself.
I put my hand in my joggers pocket and searched around for my bus money. It wasn't there. I sighed and started walking down the 8 mile road. "Looks like I'm walking home again" I said underneath my breath. I started the long journey home trying to put everything that just happened behind me.
