Solo stars

Today, was the day that could change my life forever.

I could become famous.

My heart pounded fast and I took slow steps, pushing the heavy school doors.

Suddenly the guitar case hanging in my back felt heavier.

Then so did my heart.

Because if Gabrielle was still my best friend, She would be here. She would have made me breakfast. She would have cheered on to me.

I lined behind a blonde girl waiting for my time to audition.

I sat on the cold floor, worrying.

I took out my guitar I checked if it was tuned for the 8th time today.

I listened quietly to see if I could hear the auditions.

Until it was my time to shine.

"Next" The security said.

I stepped inside the huge auditorium and took long to get to the stage.

I took my quitar out of it's case and quickly checked if it was tunned... 9th time.

I saw the teacher's blue eyes that reminded me of Gabrielle's.

That made me stronger, but in some way weaker.

When the notes of "A year with out rain" started playing out of my guitar.

I was only 20 seconds thru when the teacher interrupted me.

"Beautiful" She started.
" Perfect, amazing. Can you sing a little for me?" She asked.

I panicked.

" I-I'm afraid I can't ma'am. I don't think I very good at it" I spoke into the microphone.

"Go ahead, try" She said.

"Okay." I whispered into the microphone.

The noted once again began.

" Can you feel me, when I think about you?"

The teacher smiled and I continued.

"Bravo, Bravo!" Her loud claps echoed in the huge auditorium.

She scribbled somethings in her notepad as I left the stage.

I don't know if I did good or not.
I'm worried.
What if I don't get in?

In two hours of waiting I did:

Bought a sandwich, juice, a pack of Swedish fish, And a pack of gum.
Practiced 5 songs in my guitar 3 times each.
Played tennis in the gym.
and called Sofia.

When every one got called in stage.

The teacher walked up the stage.

"82 students signed up, only 48 came to the audition." She started.

" Thank you for coming. You probably are wondering what are there boxes laying on the table."

I glanced at the navy boxes lined up at the table.

"If your name is called, you will receive one. That means you are in solo stars!"
Everyone cheered.

" Oh and if you get one DO NOT open until I say so."

She called a bunch of names.
One shocked me.

"Rodger Lucas." She announced

"Rodger?" I whispered loudly to my left.
He smiled at me as he came by.

She called more names. I was getting worried. She wasn't calling me.

"Oh, gosh. Almost forgot, Bella Flynne!" She said, the auditorium boomed as she spoke into the microphone.

I smiled brightly all the way up the stage and received my navy box.

Then she announced the last few names.
"For the rest of you, thank you for competing. You can try again next year, or if some one drops out you can enter. If you didn't receive a box, please exit the auditorium."
A load of people left the auditorium. The remaining people got closer.
Rodger sat next to me.

" Hello, Solo stars!" She said.
Everyone cheered loudly. Once again.

"You may open your boxes."

I opened mines the second she said OPEN.
It revealed a silver ring that said "STARS LIVE TO GIVE SOME SHINE TO THE NIGHT SKY"
It was a band ring. It made a smile to my face.

As soon as every one opened they're boxes, the teacher announced
" Now, they're is an even amount of students here, right? Now stand up, and get into two lines, ten students each."

We followed her instructions. I stood next to Rodger.
" Now with the person next to you, switch rings, and put them on to each other."

We did as so, It was so awkward with Rodger, I mean it felt like a wedding! xD

He slipped the ring into my fingers, and said "This is crazy"
I did the same to him.

Then she dismissed us.

I was walking back home when I heard "Bella! Wait up" I looked back and saw Rodger running towards me.
"What's up" I said.
"Nothing much, you?"
"well, I just got into the awesome club called solo stars." I said sarcastically
"Really, say, I just did the same too!" He said, I giggled.
"So what do you play?"
"Guitar.You?"
"Really? Me too!"

And we chatted all the way until I had to stop in my building.

This is so cool.

Now I know I CAN live with out Gabrielle.
