I woke up to the sound of my phone ringing. 4 new text messages, One from Carrie, one from Trevor, and two from Cole? "Hey, u bored?" Carrie texts, "Hi." Trevor texts, "Hey, I wanted to know you better so I texted u." Cole's first message said, "So....WAKE UP! ~(*O*)~" That's one weird face, he's got going. I got up from bed and went to the bathroom. After I changed into long sleeves, black jeans, combat boots, studded bracelet, and a love ring. I walk downstairs to find a note, "Dear Elizabeth, there's some food in the refrigerator. Love, Mom, Dad, and Justin." They never take me anywhere important to them except Take Your Children day and family day event. I shrugged it off and went back upstairs. I grabbed my tripod and put my Nikon camera on it. I grabbed my guitar and started the camera, "Hi, I'm Elizabeth Morgan and I'm playing my original song, Banner. Hope you enjoy it!" I started strumming and singing. 

"Maybe it's bricks and mortar now,

Whether or not they run it down

I don't want anything to shake that shape away

No one told us which way to come

Nobody mapped oblivion

So I go growing roses in the disarray.

Just like most, falling head in

'Til my ghost fills the bed in

So lift it up like a banner

Hold it up over me

If this war is never ending

I'll take this love down with me

Like a banner

Like a banner

I don't need fate to give it time,

It doesn't take pain to change your mind

No weapon can sever the soul from me

Not the sorceress, not the money

All my cleverness, all my cunning

So lift it up like a banner

Hold it up over me

If this war is never ending

I'll take this love down with me

Like a banner

Like a banner

It's around me in my surroundings

It counts me when it starts the counting

In the chaos there is a standard

I'm carrying it like a banner

It's around me in my surroundings

It counts me when it starts the counting

In the chaos there is a standard

I'm carrying it...

So lift it up like a banner

Hold it up over me

If this war is never ending

I'll take this love down with me (like a banner)

Like a banner

Hold it up over me (like a banner)

If this war is never ending (like a banner)

I'll take this love down with me" 

I finished it off, "Please tweet this to Shawn Campbell. Thank you for watching!" I turned off the camera and I put my guitar away and went to upload the video in the office. I sat down in the big chair and started uploading the video. Now time to upload it to my You-tube channel, this process is so long! I left it alone and went back to my room. I pulled out my phone and checked my messages. 3 text messages, "Hey Liz wanna hang out today?" Carrie text messaged me and I text back saying, "Sure, my house or?" "TO THE MALL!" Carrie text messaged me. I went outside and see my neighbor. He's terrified of me now.

His name is  Patrick Ann, he was one of my close friends when I was little but ever since he's seen my belly button piercing he freaks out. So he has avoided me for a year already but I don't mind. He stared at me like it was the most uncommon thing ever to see me outside. Unless he thinks I'm a vampire, so I smirked at him and saw Mrs. Greenwood's car. I got off my stairs and walked over to the cherry red Honda car. "Hi Carrie, Hi Mrs. Greenwood." I said as I got into the car. "Hey Elizabeth, how's the singing thing going?" Mrs. Greenwood asked, "I just uploaded a video earlier this morning." I excitingly said, Mrs. Greenwood understands my passion for singing unlike my parents. 

"You're going to be famous one day, Liz. Don't doubt it." Carrie said and the car stopped. We see Trevor walked towards us with his fake gray colored tail clipped on his pants. Trevor always does the weirdest things and wears the weirdest things. "Hey Mrs. Greenwood, Carrie, and Liz!" He exclaimed and hugged me instantly. "I saw you a week ago, Trevor. Calm down." I said, "It's like you're attached to Liz." Carrie stared at us. "I am! Haha." Trevor laughed, the entire time we quietly typed on our phones and listen to music. "Teenagers, always on their phones." Mrs. Greenwood muttered as we came to a stop. "I'll come pick you guys up at 5pm. Sounds good?" We all nodded our heads and walked to the mall. 

We walked around for a while and decided to go catch a film. "Three tickets to Fun Sized, please." I said and we all paid for our tickets. We walked to the concession stand and ordered one medium popcorn and three sodas. We walked into the theater and picked the middle seats, Trevor ate my popcorn like a bird while Carrie sipped my soda like a thirsty rhino. And I loved these two freaks, I called my best friends. About thirty minutes left, my phone buzzed. "Hey, Eli wanna hang out today?" I saw the text message and it was from Cole. "We'll see." I text back and immediately a response came, "Don't tease me woman! :P" I quietly laughed. "I swear, ur teasing will be avenged! :P" Cole sent and I just couldn't contain it at all. I got out of the movie theater so I wouldn't get shushed by someone.

"Oh I'm scared." I replied, "U bet :)" Cole is one weird guy. "Wyd?" He asked, "I got out of a movie theater becuz of you >:(" I text back, "Sorry! Text me when the movie's done." He text, just as everyone walked out of the movie theater. "-_- it just finished." "Whoops, sorry." I slipped my phone into my pocket just as Carrie and Trevor found me. "Let's go." Trevor said, and we walked out of the movie theaters and went to Abercombie & Fitch, I liked their clothes but I'll never be able to pull it off. "Tomorrow's Sunday, so what should we do?" Carrie flipped through the racks of button up shirts as I kept refreshing my twitter feed. "Liz, stop doing that." Trevor said, "But today's the day they announce the winners and then they battle each other!" I protested. 

They both rolled their eyes and we all walked out of the store. All day, I got nothing, nada. Not a email, tweet, mail, or even a freaking text about the contest! "It's okay sweetie, there will be other contests." Mrs. Greenwood said as she dropped me off. I felt like crying, I didn't make it in, at all. I wanted to prove my parents that singing isn't a silly hobby. I want it to be my career, not just a hobby. "Oh Elizabeth, you're home. Just in time for dinner." My mom greeted me, "I'm not hungry." I said and walked upstairs right away. 

@ShawnCampbell11- There's one entry place left. I have the person. It will be revealed tomorrow.

There's hope!
