The winner with the Microphone

By Lily Juhasz

Amy practices singing for her talent show this evening

Oh say can you see…

Amy, do you have

the microphone on high

again?

yes. Sorry! You know how much this contest means to

me

Yes, I do. But you will do fine.

Yikes! Pack your bag and

lets go!

Thank-… LOOK AT THE TIME. I need to go

to school!

Good luck Amy!

I’m going to make your

favorite dinner for my little

winner

Grandma and grandpa were in the kitchen, getting ready to cheer on Amy again.

Umm… Who knows if I will win?

For all I know, I

could come in last place.

Amy, don’t be negative!

Fine, I’m sorry.

Hey, don’t feel sorry for me, you should feel sorry for you.Wait, what?

Why?

Because YOU ARE 15 MINUTES LATE FOR SCHOOL!!!!Poop! LETS

GO!!!

They got moving and rushed to school.

Mr. Wilson is going to

kill me. Literally!

It was about 10 minutes till Amy found herself in the school unpacking her bag. But to her luck, she also found herself face to face with her older opponent for the talent show.

So, I heard you were

competing in the contest.

Yes, I am competing. I am

going to sing-

Wait, your going to sing? Well, I guess

I found my opponent. I don’t

feel so bad anymore because I know from the 2 of us, who is going to

win.

Oh, just get to class Victoria. I don’t

need you getting in my way. I am already late.

Well, its not just me…

Just give it up Amy. You are

never going to win.

Yeah. I cant even believed

you signed up for the

talent show.

Well why not?Because it includes talent.

Yeah *snickers*

Loser.

What are you gonna

do this time? Cry for

mommy?

*sniffles* Just leave

alone!*sniffles*

Amy decides to just walk away and not force an argument. Bad idea.

Just a reminder, no homework in honor of

the talent show. Remember to study for

the test on Monday! And have a great weekend! Class

dismissed!

Amy’s here!

And is late. VERY LATE. See me after

class! Which is approximately right

now!

When Amy got to class, she perceived that her friend Hannah was looking for her.

Amy, do I really have to incessantly put you on

my late list?

Sorry Mr. Wilson. I got a late start on my morning. I was practicing for the

contest and I got lost in time. I really want

to win it and…

Oh Amy, I had enough of your

excuses. Detention

after school!

But, I have the talent show and… and I …

No more excuses. The talent show is at

8pm tonight so that

leaves you a hours to practice.

But- I… OK fine.

While Amy was in detention, she saw a kid crying.

Hey, are you alright?

Yeah. Those evil 8th graders took my report from me and used it for their self. I just told the teacher that I left it at

home and she sent me to detention. I hate those 8th grade girls so much! By

the way, my name is Tommy.

Oh. I know them. I am not fond of them either. They made me late for

school and started picking on me in the hall

and…

While Amy and Tommy were in detention talking, the 3 girls formed an alliance.

Victoria Arianna Lauren

Wait, Arianna, don’t you have the “Adele 21 album” At you

house?Yeah why?

And Lauren, your evil 7th grade

brother is in the tech crew right?

Yeah, he was in it in the school play too.

Wait, I thought he hates lights and sound and

all that.

Yea, but his friends bribed him to do it. My brother is very

easy to bribe.Perfect!

Plan:1. get Adele 21 album2. bribe Lauren’s brother $20 to play “Rolling in the deep” 3. Victoria: Lip sings the whole song

Well… Um… see you at the talent show!

Um… yeah! Good luck!

Thanks bye!

My brother is back stage

setting up the sound system.

The CD is in my jacket.

Great! I’m

totally gonna win.

Lauren! Go away! We are

taking a picture!

No, I’m good. We

need you to do a favor

for us. Cheese!

Cheese!

Cheese!

And why would you

think I would help you?

Because I have $20 dollars in

my pocket that I am ready to spend for a good cause.

OK, I’m in. Meet me at

my computer desk.

Great! See you there! Told you guys he is easy

to bribe.

Now, do exactly what we told you. Here is the CD. If you break it-

Ok ok. Too many directions! Cant a kid have SOME

respect?

Can you stop being

such a drama

queen and just work.

Yeah, the $20 also includes the

payment for doing what we want

without bugging us about it.

Hey! Don’t be mean to my

brother!

Well, why not?

Lauren, get over here!

NOW!

Lauren, what

was that about?

Its called “sticking up for

my family” and if you cant accept

that, then we might as well not

hang out.

Wow, you are not the person I thought you would be. If you keep acting like

that, then you might as well

leave.

You know what, fine. I never liked you

guys anyway!

Hey, um… sorry about

that.Yeah, its OK. So, do I still

need to do what she said?

Of course not. And don’t let

your friends……do it either..

OK. Do you still need the $20 and the CD?

Keep the $20. I have the perfect place to put

the CD

Bye Bye Arianna's autographed Adele CD!

You did what to my CD?

LAUREN! OMG! I am so gonna kill

you for this!

Hey wait, Arianna. Is everybody seriously

leaving me?

Hey, are you alright?

What do you want?

Well, I want to cheer you up. The talent show is in 2

hours and you shouldn't be sad at

this time.

I’m not sad. Just leave me alone.

You are not making me feel

any better.Hey, I don’t want

you to feel worse.

Then just go away.

Listen, I know that’s not

going to make you happy.

Fine, I am upset. You probably wont

help at all because you’re all happy and existed

and all that.

Hey, I’m upset too. I just realized that the

song that I am performing is for a duet. One soprano and one alto. I’m a

soprano.

*Looks up* Really? I’m alto.

We should perform together, instead of against

each other.

We still have an hour and 45 minutes left.

PERFECT! That gives us an abundance of

time to practice.

Welcome everyone to hour annual talent show.

A big thanks to the tech crew and all the other volunteers that made this happen.

As you know, the talent show is

divided by each division. There are

3 divisions this year; dancing,

juggling and yo-yo, and singing. Each division will

be judged separately and the

top 3 of each division will

compete to be the winner.

But without further ado, I present you the

dancing division

And our last act until

finals, the singing.

WAIT! ME AND VICORIA ARE PERFORMING TOGETHER.

Rather than to compete

Then how are we supposed to calculate the 3 finalists from each division? If you did that,

then you would automatically be in the finals. The school board agreed to not have a

division with only one competitor performing because it is not fair.

Yeah. But, please. We really need this. We practiced hours. Please. Who says

we will win?

STOP! The school board had decided

to let the girls perform for the singing division.

Principal Johnson, by

doing this, you are making it

unfair for them. This is why very

few people could do the

talent show this year because their choices were limited.

Now I honestly think that’s

unfair.

Um… Ok. Well, I present you with the

duet of Amy and Victoria.

Oh say can you see…

By the dawn early light.

Was so proudly we held

Was so proudly we held.

And once again, congratulations

girls!

Victoria, you did awesome! Thanks for singing with me.

I would be a fail without you. Thank

you so much.

No, thank you. Thanks for not

getting mad at me for bullying you.

Thanks for cheering me up. And thanks for singing with me. You did not deserve to be bullied I am so

sorry.

Its ok. Lets not talk about now. We

should be happy and existed.

But please, thank you so much! For

making me a much better person than

before.

Hey, you turned yourself into a good person. So thank you.

Yeah, I guess so. Haha!

Haha!
