Bella's pov
I stare at myself in the mirror for a good five minuets, not so much to be conceded but I'm going to be on tv. I can't be a bum. I like being a bum.
I check my phone... 5:45. Time for self promo.
I open instagram and take a selfie with my tuba, I post it with the caption
"Watch me and this babe on American Band Geek tonight at 8! I'm the first one up! It's on fox. "
I then shove my phone into my pocket grab my tuba and begin walking to the auditorium.
Dylan walks next to me so I get into my phone to ignore him
My photo got 11 likes and one comment .. frickin Courtney commented on my photo.
That bitch think she's all clever and original by commenting "good luck your gonna need it."
"Your make up makes you look like a slut." Dylan says
"Oh shit sorry I didn't mean to steal your look." I put my phone back in my pocket .
After the annoying walk with Dylan we finally reach the stage
Savannah isn't here yet so I decide to go talk to the baritone. Grayson.
"You excited?" I ask
"I'm nervous, I just heard we have interviews after the show." He replies
We both watch Andy run out onto the stage
"GET BACK HERE THE AUDIENCE IS ABOUT TO COME IN COME ON!" He screams
There was only like five us there but we all follow him and go back stage
Sure enough the doors open and people pile in.
I think I'm gonna be sick.. so many people...
I back up from peaking through the curtain and notice Savannah has arrived
For the next hour I talk to her and Grayson and text Ian, Aj and Seth.
____
"Our first participant is the pride of Leaping Lemurs high in Minnesota. Tuba player Bella Vaughn."
The curtain is pulled revealing me center stage seated with my tuba. The lights blind me from seeing the audience.
I take a breathe and imagine a metronome in my head and begin to play the moving bass I composed .
It went by really fast and the audience roared
There are three judges sitting at a table below the stage getting ready to well judge me.
"That was incredible. A girl in low brass is rare. I give you a ten" Says the black women
"Thank you." I say but I have no microphone soo
"Beautiful what was the name of this piece?" The older man asks
"It doesn't have a name, I wrote it." I have to yell to be heard
"You composed this? I give you a ten also."
"Thank you!"
"Amazing. Simply amazing. Ten." the final judge says
"Thank you!!" I got the highest score possibly on the first night
Once I exit the stage I'm greeted by all of the low brass/ low woodwinds.
Anthony comes over too "THAT WAS FABULOUS!"
"Good job." is most of what everyone says
"That was great. I wish I could play baritone half as good as you can play tuba." Grayson says
"Shut up your great at baritone.". I reply
Once he walks away Savannah says
"I know you have a boyfriend or something with a boy back home but I ship you two"
"what no!"
"Hey if you play tuba and the a girl be prepared to be shipped with basically everyone. How cute would a tuba and baritone couple be!" She exclaims
Just then my phone starts vibrating in my pocket. I take it out to see a facetime call from Ian
I excuse myself from everyone and answer it
"BELLA GOALS AF!" Ian yells
"YES AMAZING! STRAIGHT TENS!" Aj also yells
"Your amazing" Is all seth says
"That was the scariest thing I've ever done." I admit
"Your gonna win this!" Aj says
"Who is performing now?" I ask wondering if they're still watching
"A trumpet" Seth says
"Your instagram is blowing up," Ian states
"Really?" I hit the home button so they can't see me but only hear me and I go to my instagram
54 more likes to my photo 4 comments and 34 new followers
I switch back onto facetime
"What's happening?" I question
"They had your instagram at the bottom of the screen." Aj says
Dang.
This really is big time.
