✤ SOLO

Chapter thirteen

New cover made by moi!!! Whaddya think?

"Okay that's all for today. Thanks guys, you'll know where you stand by the end of the week." Will announces through a microphone, I don't know who gave him that. It's really good, especially for all the dumb people that need to be yelled at.

"Maria colton!" He shouts in my ear with the microphone.

"What the hell?!" I cover my ears from being damaged and scowl at him, "I'm right here!"

"Snap out of it we're leaving." He says and gives the mic to some guy.

I groan and pack up all the songs that were sang to day. I give Will the list of the names of people that would make it to round one.

Three. Yeah! Will chose only three people to make it to round one out of the twenty people that auditioned today. I'm telling you that guy is pure evil. He said most of them made his ear bleed and he wasn't lying about that, I was thinking of going to the ear doctor later today.

But to justify his action, he said he can't have to many people in the competition and I agreed with him.

I text my sister to tell her I'm ready. I open my bag to put my books in there and I see my lyrics book. I think I can make use of this opportunity.

"Um, William?" I call.

"I thought I told you to not call me that," he says bluntly without looking up from what he is doing.

"Yeah sorry, Will?"

"What do you want?"

"I have this book of lyrics," way to start a conversation, Maria. "...my lyrics and I thought you might want to listen..."

"I'm sure I told principal Smith that I have a song writer."

"Yeah, but if you'll just listen to this song..."

"Maria, I write my own songs and I'm sure what ever you write is good, but I'm sorry I don't need any songwriter." He says and leaves the class.

I stand where I am and what his figure leave the class. So much for trying. I'm sure he'll be busy throughout this week to have time to listen to my song. I sigh as I read the text my sister had already sent to me.
I'm here.

I grab my bag and leave the class, the hallway is already empty the the parking lot is parked with students that waited for the audition.

"I think I hit those notes too high," one of them says as I push my way through the crowd.
"I went off key at the last part," another whines. I groan and look around trying to find Tiana. Of course she wasn't here yet!

I stomp my feet in annoyance and I see Mrs Tucker waving at me from across the parking lot. I smile and I walk towards her.

"Good afternoon Mrs Tucker." I say as I approach her. I see Will seated In the front seat with his headphone in his ear.

"Hi, Maria right?" She confirms and I nod. "That's great, it's hard to keep track of the names of girls that show up at our doorstep." She laughs a little and I join her, the perks of being a celeb. "So how are you?"

"I'm good. Thanks for asking." I answer politely.

"Hope William isn't troubling you?." She asks with a serious face."

"What? No.....in fact he's understanding." I lie smoothly eyeing William in the car who still hasn't acknowledged my presence.

"That's good to know, he told me you visited on Saturday."
