It had been a week since I caught my traitor brother and friend. And yes I might have been over reacting but they had just sent me singing in the shower to a record label. I have always been scared of criticism and being judged for my singing so this was a big deal for me, regardless of how other people may have been over joyed.
Every summer my family go camping in wales, it's kind of a tradition and I was really looking forward to swimming in the ocean and living in the wild for a couple of weeks.
"KASSIDY? ARE YOU READY?" My dad shouted from downstairs.
"YEP!" I called back and began lugging my suitcase out of my room and down the stairs to the car.
As we pulled put of the drive I got my iPhone and earplugs out and listened to my music. After all it did take 5 hours to get there so I might as well get some sleep, and going to sleep with music is very relaxing.
"Wake up Kass we're here!" I heard someone say before they shook me awake. I groaned as the light seeped into my eyes, stunning from the darkness of sleep.
After setting up the tent and helping put everything up, I decided to have a shower to wake me up as it was only 5:30 and we had to go out for dinner as we couldn't fit any food in the car.
We tend to over pack.
Grabbing my stuff and some different and more appropriate for going out in clothes I made my way down the hill the campsite was based on and to the toilets and showers.
I adjusted the heat after checking for any wandering spiders that I could wash out and stepped in.
As per usual I sung as I did my hair and shaved my bristly legs yet again. What a girl does to have clean smooth legs.
I kept singing to any songs that I could remember and then changing songs when I couldn't remember any more of the words. I collected my other stuff and twirled my hair into a towel turban to keep it from dripping all over my dry clothes.
When I opened the door I gasped to find a crowd of people sitting and standing outside the shower door. Personally I think it's creepy to have strangers right outside the room you were showering in.
One by one they all started clapping making my face turn bright red as I opened my mouth to say something but closed it again when I couldn't think of anything to say to this crowd of applauding people.
Then a lady walked up to me and patted my arm whilst beaming. "You have an amazing voice dear." She said softly and hobbled back to her camper van.
Lots of other people came up, praising my voice as I just said thank you over and over again feeling a little overwhelmed but proud.
When the crowd had dispersed I saw George and my mum and dad all standing there beaming, my mothers eyes brimming with tears. Geez it wasn't that big of a deal.
"You were amazing darling."
"Voice of an angel."
"Well, do you believe me and heather now?" George asked smirking like he already won
"Heather and I George." My dad corrected and I laughed fondly at my family.
"Fine I believe you but you should've asked before you, you know." I said smiling. My mothers face fell and she looked confused.
"Did what? George what did you do?"
"We may have senthervoicetoarecordlabel." He rushed out turning red "withoutherpermission"
"I'm ashamed but she wouldn't have done it herself." I gaped at my mother. Traitor!
"Dear shut your mouth you'll catch flies." I snapped my mouth shut and followed the rest of my laughing family back to our tent.
I guess I was a good singer then.
"Your too modest Kass." George said nudging me his his shoulder as we climbed into the car, to seek out food. I laughed in reply and got into the car.
I checked my phone to find that I had a text from heather.
Heather: the record label sent a letter. They want to sign you.
The shock overcame me and I dropped my phone as I registered what she said.
Record company.
Want to sign me.
Me?!
Holy shit.
George picked up my phone and showed it to my parents who started talking very fast but my ears were ringing too loud for me too hear.
Sign me?
