Deck of Cards

Chapter 1

      I was bored. Jamyka was bored, Danna was bored. All of us were bored. Ok so this is our current situation; my friends and I are in our classroom, sitting in the "Singles Only Corner"- I know, don't laugh because it was only named that way for us to get away from the annoying group of couples in the class who are saying sweet nothings to each other. So back to the topic. We were singing along to an Avril Lavigne song when a thought came to my mind.

      "Hey, do you think there's going to be another 'Students Got Talent' contest this school year?" I asked, turnig the music off.

      "I don't know. But we do sing pretty good. Maybe we should join!" Danna said.

      "That is if there is going to be a contest," Jamyka said, finishing her juice. "I heard that the plans for the contest were cancelled."

      Surprised by this statement, I turned towards Jamyka. "What makes you say that?"

      "Maam Ariane decided to cancel the plans for the 'Students Got Talent' contest because of the... err.. lameness of the one from last school year. To be honest though, I have to agree that it was quiet boring."

      "Oh, okay then."

      That's... too bad. I wanted to join the contest with Jamyka and Danna. Well it can't be helped.We could always have some kind of Karaoke Booth during the Intramurals... Wait a minute! That sounds perfect! I then broke into a big smile, making my friends stare at me in confusion.

      "Umm... Dorothy-chan..." Danna said. Can you please get that goofy grin off your face...It's really really distu-"

      She didn't get to finish her sentence because I suddenly jumped up. "Do you guys know what I'm thinking?"

      They both glanced at each other before staring at me again- probably because I look creepy with a huge smle on my face- but whatever!

      "No... we don't know what you're thinking..." Jamyka said.

      "Why don't we have a Karaoke Booth for the Intramurals? That would be great!" I suggested.

      "But that would mean we'll  have to pay for our own booth to sing," Danna pointed out.

      "Oohh." I didn't think of it that way.

      "Maybe a concert would do the trick! We get to play music and sing," Jamyka suggested.

      "If ever we need to borrow instruments, it will be piece of cake!" Danna added.

      "You guys are such geniuses! That's a great idea!" I hugged them both tightly. "We can form a rock band and have a concert!"

      "Hey, Danna-chan! Dorothy-chan! Jamyka-chan! What's up?" someone called.

      We turned to the direction of the voice.

      "Rikka-chan! Hi! We were just talking about forming a rock band," I said, gesturing her to the seat next to mine. "You want to join? We need a few more member."

      Rikka took her seat next to me and got into a thinking position. I hope she joins our band, we really do need a few more members for our band. Rikka's good at playing the guitar and sings really well.

      "Sure! That sounds cool! I never joined a band before!" Rikka said. "But err..."

      "But what?" I asked. Is she having second thoughts about joing our rock bandd?
