Little Competition

I stood in front the notice, plastered outside the school office.

Talent Show Auditions

Friday, May 19

4:00 pm

School Auditorium

What's wrong with a little competition? I thought to myself, isn't that what everyone says? Or is it just me? Either way. Competition is good for the soul, right?I sighed.

"Lizzy! Did you see the notice?!" My best friend, Kenzie, asked. I sighed.

"No. I didn't see the huge talent show notice in front of me," I said, sarcastically, "seriously Kenz!" She rolled her eyes.

"You are going to enter, right?" She asked. I shrugged.

"Why? And just lose in the end? I'd rather not embarrass myself in front of the whole student body." I said. She rose an eyebrow. I returned it right back.

"One seriously, your asking why? Two, you'd win. And three, do you even know the prize?" She asked, jumping. I rolled my eyes.

"What? If its another free meal at Freddy's, I'll explode." I snapped.

"I love Freddy's!" She said. I rolled my eyes. "I mean, no. You get to meet your favorite band or singer." I looked at her. She smiled. I stood there, frozen in place. Then, I started laughing.

"Yeah, right! We're in Missouri, Kenz. Not Hollywood-" I stopped as I picked up other people's conversation.

"Who you gonna choose if you win?" A girl asked.

"Duh, R5. Ross Lynch is so hot!" Another girl asked.

"Yeah. I think I'd choose Enimen." A guy with a deep voice said as he passed.

"Taylor Swift! She's awesome!" People stared at the girl who said that.

"Miley Cyrus. Yeah, she's inappropriate. But she's not afraid to be herself!"

I looked at Kenz. Who had her arms crossed.

"Eh-hem? I believe a told-ya-so is in store. Please, add a cherry on top." She smirked. I rolled my eyes, and walked away. I stopped and turned towards her.

"Fine! I'll do it. But, one laugh, and its all on you." She smiled, and raised her thumb as the bell rang through the halls.
