Laine's funeral was a week ago. She was burried with her ipod and was wearing jeggings and her normal is boring t- shirt. I don't believe in dwelling on deaths and unfortunate events. I don't want anyone's pity either, so I chose to not dwell on my sister's death. I know that there's nothing I can do, and that she isn't looking down on me even though people think that.
School's over now and the recital will be in a month. Dad is having a hard time coping to life without Laine. I just need to focus on beating Ella. I found out her solo is Royals, duet Fancy, the "duel song" is Chandelier.
Ella will have her work cut out for her. She can't rap, and knowing her she'll want the more showy part. Also, her songs are fairly popular, so the audience will be more likely to vote for her.
Right now, I'm practicing my "duel" solo, It Took me by Surprise. I wait for the chimes at the beginning and then. ... I sing,"I would react badly to the slightest hint of hesitance." The drums come in now,"He'd bend awkwardly to suit my mood no word from his defense...." So far so good. "I'd cry knowing how my tears felt like acid burning through his skin. Pushed every little button but the right one that would let me in. " The song slows down now... "Now he's afraid of me... He's afraid of me...." The tempo speeds up. "It took me by surprise, the hatred in his eyes-"
"Stop!" A voice behind me yells. I as well as the band rehersing with me, turn around to see a woman with blonde hair pulled into a bun wearing a blue blazer and pencil skirt.
"Hello. You are Carly's instructor, Vanessa Stone?"
"Yes. Why?" As Ms. Nessa says this her eyebrows shoot up and she plays with the treble clef necklace around her neck.
"I'm Viktoria Smith from Shining Stars music academy. I will be deciding who will be recieving the scholarship. Now, where's Carly?"
I cautiously raise my hand. Viktoria looks over me supiously and walks over to me.
"Ah, this is our prodigy." She says through a false smile.
"Yes ma'am."
"You're a little small to be a singer. I hope you have a voice Ms. Carly." She says in a sickenly sweet voice. When Viktoria walks out of the room I let out a sigh of relief.
"That will be all for today Carly." Ms. Nessa says.
I run outside with my back pack. My dad's car is parked outside and we spend the ride home is silence. When we get 0
home I'm left to eat dinner by myself while he crys himself to sleep. When I lost my sister I lost my dad.
