Rocky Road

"And here's our room!" Lizzie smiled, opening the door to a spacious room. It had three rooms, one with one bed, and one with two beds. "I CALL THE TWO BED ROOM!" Felicity beamed. Gee, I wonder who she wants to share it with. "I'll share it with Lizzie!" Felicity's green eyes sparkled. "Okay! Prudence, you don't mind being alone, right?" Lizzie asked. "No, it's fine!" I lied through my teeth. I then walked to my room, then threw my bags down. "Happy new year." I groaned. I walked over to the window and pulled back the curtains. I stood in amazement, the Rocky Mountains looked so pure and untouched. "Abbey would love it here," I sighed, then immediately shook my head. Forget her my mind advised. Then I remembered my dilemma now. Felicity is taking Lizzie away from me. But, didn't I originally take her away from Felicity? DANG! This is too confusing! "Prudence! Mrs. Hodge just called, it&#

Arrival

"RUN!" Marisol yelled. Callie, Cindie, my new sister Felicity, and Jess all bolted to stop a taxi man. While Marisol, Julia, and Sonali all waddled out of the train station with all of our bags. "Thank-you!" I smiled to the taxi driver, then walked back to the trunk to put in all of our stuff. We flew into Colorado and were headed to The Rockies Resort. That's where the Chorus got booked to sing at a New Years Eve Party for one of Mrs. Hodge's friends. "When are Lizzie, Rebecca, and Julie flying in?" Julia asked, pushing in one of Becca's MASSIVE sparkly pink suitcases. "Later today." Felicity explained, helping Julia. [Yesterday all of this happened.] "No," Marisol started, pointing to three girls running out of the train station. "BECCA BUG!" Rebecca screamed "BECKSTER!" Becca yelled, crashing into Rebecca and hugging her tight. Rebecca and Becca are twin sisters, they look almost EXACTLY alike. The onl

Tears

"PRUDENCE, YOU HAVE A PHONE CALL!" Chrissa called up to me. I was in my room, reading a magazine. I picked up my phone. "Hello?" I asked. "Hey Prudence!" A familiar voice sang. "ABBEY!" I beamed! I hadn't heard from Abbey for a whole week. "What's up?" I asked. "Nothing much." She said. I had to tell her something. I mean, it might have sounded mean, but it's what I was feeling. "Abbey.." I sighed. "What?" She asked. "I think..." I trailed off, I couldn't find it in my heart to tell her what needed to be said. "What?" She repeated. "I think, since we probably won't ever see each other again, that we should find new best friends." I felt like crying. "What? Why?" She asked. "Because, I think that I'm the only thing pulling you back from becoming the best Abbey Holland you can be. Even though you're pretty awesome." I breathed. She

Change

"Change better be a good thing" I muttered walking home from Rebecca, Julie, & Elizabeth's house. Today, Rebecca unveiled that she is twins with one of my newest sisters, Becca. My mind is like swimming right now. Too much change for Pru to handle. 1) Abbey moving away. 2) Molly having a crush on Keith after hating him for so long. 3) Julie changing her name to Julia. 4) Charity moving back. 5) Nathan telling me he loved me. 6) Melanie getting another doll for Christmas. 7) Julia and Julie being twins. Of course, and now.. 8) Becca and Rebecca being twins. WHY CAN'T THINGS JUST STAY THE SAME?! **Prudence..** [a REAL post will come soon] [[Julia has a blog now; link in the side]]

Disco Bell Rock

"Come on Pru!" Elizabeth called as she pulled me into the auditorium. Today was the day of AGPPA's 1st Annual Winter Dance, which the Chorus was supposed to perform at. "I can't do this." I groaned. The butterflies in my stomach were going crazy. "Come on, Prudence! Yes you can! You sing in front of the Chorus EVERY week." Elizabeth smiled. "But this is different. The Chorus is like my second family, the whole school..... Not so much." I shuddered. "Come on, Prudence. We're going to be late." Elizabeth rolled her eyes and walked with me to the dressing room. "PRU!" Molly and Callie chorused. They were in our costumes which were either red dresses (Molly, Elizabeth, & Chrissa) or white dresses. (Casey, Jessica, & Callie) "Where's my dress?" I asked Mrs. Hodge as she came in to check on us. "Oh Prudence. You're going to be singing the solo. The crowd needs to distinguish you from the re

Love Is All You Need.

"YAY! YOU GOT BACK WITH HIM!" I yelled happily. Yesterday was The Beatles assignment for Chorus, and Jake and Elizabeth got back together! Iknewitallalong. Elizabeth smiled and giggled like a little kid. Jake smiled and chuckled a bit. Jake had just apologized to Lizzie by singing The Beatles' version of "Dizzy Miss Lizzy," which OUR Lizzie L O V E D! "Fantastic job, Jake! Your an AMAZING singer!" Mrs. Hodge complimented. Jake smiled "Thanks, Mrs. H." "Okay next up is......" Mrs. Hodge trailed off, looking for someone to sing. "PRUDENCE!" I jumped up in shock. ME? I CAN'T GO! "Can someone go before me?" I asked sincerely. "Sure, dear. How about....... Callie!" Mrs. Hodge proposed. Callie ran up to the stage before anyone could protest. She scanned the crowd, flashed me a smile, waved to Molly, then began to belt out the words to "I Don't Want To Spoil The Party" by her boys, The Beatle

Broken

"PRUDENCE! CALLIE! MOLLY!" Marisol called out. 'Ugh.' I muttered in my mind. "WHAT?" Molly replied. "GO TO AGPPA! MRS. HODGE CALLED AND IS HAVING A CHORUS MEETING." Marisol called up and went back into the kitchen. "Why would Mrs. Hodge call a Chorus meeting on a Sunday?" I asked, then decided to get dressed. I got dressed in a long purple tee shirt and black skinny jeans. I put on my purple Converse then walked to Callie's room. "CALLIE!" I called, she had her door shut. "Ringo, is that you?" Callie was obviously asleep. I bust through the door. "CALLIE!" I yelled. She rolled over and fell out of bed. "AMEN!" She yelled immediately as she hit the ground. "Callie, we're not in Church." I rolled my eyes. "Then why did you wake me up?" She muttered. "Because, Mrs. Hodge called a Chorus meeting." I explained. "Hodge." Callie simply said then got up and w

Returning

"Goodbye class!" Mrs. Hodge smiled and sent us on our way to find songs on Wednesday. I was speed-walking to the door when I was alarmed by a "PRU! WAIT UP!" I turned and saw, gasp, Peter. P-P-P-P-Peter?! "Peter?" I stopped dead in my tracks, he had come back from being sick, but you could still see a bit of flush in his face. "I need your help." Peter said. "With?" I asked, shell shocked, he NEVER talks to me. "Picking a song." "What? Your like king of the Beatle People." I pointed out. "True, but I NEED a song that expresses my feelings." He nodded. You and me both, kid. "Oh! Okay, well what are your feelings?" I asked. "Well, uhm, I like this girl..... a lot, but she's been hurt a lot in her past, and I just want to show her that I am here for her, and that if WE, that's her and I, ever got together, I wouldn't hurt her." He explained. I nodded, I was kind of excited, I me

Picking and Celebrating

After a whole day of learning practically nothing, I desperately needed chorus. As the bell rang, I ran out of the Art Room, dropped my stuff off at my locker, and bolted to the choir room. As soon as I bolted in the door, I realized something. I didn't have a song. I was too caught up with the Thanksgiving preparations to get a song! And the assignment is THE BEATLES for crying out loud! I was probably the ONLY one who didn't have a song, so I slumped to my usual seat and expected the worst. After everyone piled in the room, Mrs. Hodge, in her normal smiley manner, walked to the front. "Hello everyone! I hope you had a great Thanksgiving." She smiled. There was a few "Hey Mrs. H's" but nothing else. Everyone seemed so solemn. I expected to hear SOMETHING from Callie, considering she's usually a bowl of sunshine, but she was sad and wearing black. WAIT BLACK?! I whispered to Callie, "Cals, why are you wearing black?" She looked at me and w

Second Chances

"One, Two, A-One, Two, Three, Four!" Molly counted off then the guitar intro to "River Deep, Mountain High" played. Yup, yesterday was our assignment day for Chorus, and who was up first but Molly and me. "When I was a little girl, I had a rag doll. Only doll I've ever owned." Molly's voice was sweet yet powerful. "Now I love you just the way, I loved that rag doll. Only now my love has grown." I took my turn to sing. "And it grows stronger, in every way!" Molly's voice got higher. "And it gets deeper, let me say." We harmonized. "And It gets higher." Molly sang. "Day By Day" I joined her. "Do I love you? my oh my! River deep mountain high! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! If I lost you, would I cry. Oh how I love you baby, baby, baby, baby!" We danced around and sang. "When you were a young boy Did you have a puppy That always followed you around" I sang and twirled around so the skirt on

Costume Craziness

After school today, Elizabeth and Jake stopped by to pick up Elizabeth's costume for chorus; Jake supposedly has a suit that has the same colour palate, so everything is good with their costumes. "OHMYGOSH! I LOVE IT! THANKS SONALI!" Elizabeth limped over to hug Sonali. "Thank-you, Sonali! It looks great!" Jake smiled. "Your welcome! I hope next week I can help you with your assignment too!" Sonali smiled. "Bye Prudence, Molly, Sonali, and Callie!" They said then left. "BYE!" We all chorused. "Kay, Cals. Here is your dress." Sonali announced after a few tweaks; Callie's eyes went to the size of baseballs. "Oh.My.God. That is so AMAZING!" She yelled as she jumped up and bolted to hug Sonali. "You're the best! Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! I gotta go show Peter!" Callie said. "NO!" Sonali warned. "Why?" "Because, it's pouring outside, and I don't want the dress

Not A Second Time

I was speed walking to Science class, I had just helped Elizabeth [who's on crutches] get her stuff to her class. Out of random, I decided to practice my Chorus song while I was walking to class, no one was in the hallways so I might get away with it. "When I was a little girl I had a rag doll Only doll I've ever owned Now I love you just the way I loved that rag doll But only now my love has grown. And it gets stronger, in every way. And it gets deeper, let me say. And it gets higher, day by day. Do I love you my oh my River deep mountain high Yeah Yeah Yeah If I lost you would I cry Oh how I love you baby, baby, baby, baby." I was too busy dancing around to notice the tall figure that I ran SMACK into. "God, watch where you're going." A familliar voice warned. My glasses had fallen off, so I had to search for them. "There!" I exclaimed as I put on my glasses and the figure became clear. Nathan freaking Modine in the flesh. I wanted to peel ou

Smacker

"Open you stupid locker." I mumbled. Friday was usually my happy day, but not today. Not after Nathan broke my heart. "Please?" I asked. It opened. "Thank you." I muttered then took my books out, Spanish. The class with you-know-who in it. I didn't have time to hear the footsteps approaching behind me, but I did notice my books plummeting to the floor. I looked up and saw Jessica, the two-faced wonder. "Pruuuuuuuuudy." She said in a high voice. "Messica." I used the nickname Julia had given her. "What's wrong sweetie?" She asked in a high voice. "Nathan dumped me." I muttered. "About time." She just said. I had it; "YOU KNOW WHAT?" I yelled at the top of my lungs "WHAT?" She asked, matching my tone "YOU ARE A TWO FACED JERK, AND I HATE TWO FACED PEOPLE." I yelled. "Why? Because my two faces are prettier then your one face." She fired. "NO. BECAUSE I DON&

I Knew It

"Oooh I love you, my oh my... Yeah! River Deep, Mountain High YEAH YEAH YEAH! If I lost you, would I cry. River Deep Mountain High!" Molly and I harmonized. Our voices sounded REALLY good together. Chrissa jumped on her bed, which was right above Molly's room, to quiet us down. "Your a REALLY good singer, Pru." Molly commented then took a drink of water. "Thanks, you are too, but you already know that from all of your fans" I smiled. Then I realized something; "OH! I have to finish my Spanish Project! See ya Molly!" I said as I dashed out of the room. -30 minutes later- "YEAH WE'RE GONNA HAVE SOME FUN TONIGHT!" I sang at the top of my lungs to Little Richard's 'Long Tall Sally' as I did my homework. The project is a life-sized portrait of us with an accompanying paper written in Spanish about us. I colored in my blue glasses when my phone went off. "Dear Prudence...." John Lennon sang. It was Nathan's r

Duets and Don't's

*VERY cheesy title, I know* I practically skipped to Chorus. I was that happy today, for three reasons (1) Today is the one year anniversary of our [as in me, my sisters and Melanie's] YouTube Channel! *blows a kazoo* (2) Melanie said she won't get Annabelle until January. WOOOH! (3) WE GET TO FIND OUT WHO OUR DUET PARTNERS ARE! So as you can see; Happy Pru + Chorus = Skippy time. I hummed a random tune as I walked through the auditorium doors and took my seat net to Nathan and Elizabeth. "Hey, Liz!" I greeted. "Hey Pru!" She smiled. Before I could greet Nathan, Mrs. Hodge walked onto the stage. "Hello everyone! So yesterday you all did your Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber songs and I told you that your next assignment was duets. Well, guess what this is!" She nearly sang while waving a notebook up. "THE DUET PARTNERS!" Callie exclaimed. "Correct! Okay well here it goes!" Mrs. Hodge announced. I was confident, of COURSE Nathan and I

Sing! *Part Two*

"And a-one, two, one, two, three, four." Nathan counted. The opening notes to Justin Bieber's "Baby" played. He was dressed up JUST like Justin Bieber, I wanted to laugh but I couldn't muster it up after what Jessica had said earlier. "You know you love me, I know you care. Just shout whenever, and I'll be there. You are my love, you are my heart, and we will never, ever, ever be apart." Nathan sang and did his best Justin Bieber-ish moves, which he failed at. I think this was his way of apologizing to me, but I had to decided whether or not to accept it. Either way, I felt myself blushing like crazy during all of his parts, and I turned to Elizabeth when Jake did Ludacris' part. "When I was thirteen, I had my first love. There was nobody that compared to my baby, and nobody came between us or could ever come above. She had me going crazy, oh I was starstruck. She woke me up daily, don't need no Starbucks. She made my heart pound,

Sing! *Part One*

"This is it" I sighed to myself as I got into my blue Beyonce-style ensemble. I walked out of the bathroom stall and got a glance of Callie. "Wow, Callie! You look really pretty!" I complemented. "Really? I don't like it." She muttered. "I'm sure Tyler will" Molly walked up behind her and assured. Callie's baby blue eyes lit up just at the mention of his eyes. "COME ON MOLLY! LET'S GO!" Callie yelled as she pulled Molly out of the girls' bathroom. "See ya in the chorus room!" Molly exclaimed then left with Callie. I decided to wait for Elizabeth, who was finishing up her math test in Mrs. Jones' room. I walked back into a stall that had a mirror and looked at myself in it. "That stupid Callie girl thinks she's going to get MY man." A voice said. "Wait, Jessica, you and Tyler aren't a couple anymore!" Another voice replied. "Yeah, you said you hated his guts." Yet A

"LADY GAGA?!" Callie exclaimed when we got home from Chorus, Mrs. Hodge gave us our first assignment which was Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber, so needless to say, Callie wasn't very happy. "What's wrong?" I questioned. She turned to me and said "I don't know a SINGLE song from her." Oh no. "B-but you're singing Monster!" I exclaimed. "Oh Pru, who am I kidding? Elizabeth was listening to that song and I just decided 'hey let's sing THAT song.'" She then bolted to her room and yelled "TYLER'S GOING TO THINK I'M STUPID." whoa, whoa, TYLER?! "Aww poor Cals." Molly sighed while walking to the door. "Where you going?" I wondered. "To go get my Gaga costume, get Callie." She ordered then grabbed her black and grey purse. I went to Callie's room and knocked on the door; "Cal, you in here?" I asked, searching for my sister. "Yeah." She sniffled and w
