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

Things We Sang Today

"WE'RE GONNA BE LATE!" Callie yelled as she and I ran to the auditorium in AGPPA. "WHY ARE WE DOING THIS?!" I questioned. "'Cause" Callie breathed as we reached the doors, " Nathan is in this class." She made googly eyes and tried to be me. "HEY!" I replied. "More importantly, I NEED to get this extra credit and SOMEONE" She sneered at me "didn't want to go to Art, so HERE WE ARE!" She exclaimed and opened the doors. Chorus. "Dude, really?" I asked. "Yes DUDE ." She replied and walked up with her most "I'm-freaking-Callie-Monroe" walk and went straight up to a black haired, brown eyed teacher named Mrs. Hodge, the chorus director, with me following close behind. Mrs. Hodge looked like she went through enough for one day because Riley Pennington, the school jerk-face, had just been sent to the Principal. Callie didn't care, she strode up to Mrs. Hodge and proclaimed,

Good Days, Bad Nights

I threw my violet book bag down on my bed. Today was a good day at school, Elizabeth is such a sweetheart and I finished all of my work in school. Then came the phone call. My cell phone went off, singing Glee's version of "Don't Stop Believin'" I danced to my cell and picked up the phone "Heyla." A sugary-sweet voice was on the other line; "Prudence Farrow?" I looked at the screen, I didn't recognize the number. "Who wants to know?" There was a pause. "Annabelle Martin. I might become your new sister." Then everything went black. **Prudence..**

Sudden Hatred

WHOA!! SONNY AND KENNA HAVE A BLOG?! Gotcha! I knew :] It used to be Marisol and Jess' blog, but Mari and Jess have been too busy to blog, so they decided [with the help of one of their followers] to give the blog to Sonny and Kenna. I called them and asked them if they wanted it to happen, here is how it went; "Hello?" Sonny asked. "SONNY! HEY THERE!" I exclaimed. "Pru? HEY!" She yelled. "Can you get Kenna, but stay on the phone, like put it on speaker." I asked. "Okay........ MCKENNA BETH WALTERS!" Sonny screamed. I had to cover my ears, Sonny is loud. "I'm here okay. Hey Pru! What did you need to ask?" Kenna's much softer voice asked. "Well, you know Marisol and Jess, my sisters, right?" I asked. "Yes." They replied. "And you know how they have a blog right?" I questioned. "Yes" They said, probably knowing what I was going to ask. "Well, they aren't going to write

Time For Cheering Up

AHHHHHHCOOO! Hey everyone *sniffle* Prudence here and I am sick. I think I got it from the puddle I fell in when Nathan was about to kiss me, so Marisol INSISTED I stayed home and to my surprise Melanie stayed home too. She's been feeling dizzy and her stomach is upset so today we were sick buddies. We pretty much 'bonded.' She told me all about the drama she has been having and I told her about Nathan and the party last night and she was happy for me. "That's great, Pru!" She said with a small smile on her face. I smiled, but now I know tht she was faking the smile. She was happy for me, but she obviously couldn't bear to smile. I need to cheer her up, but how? **Prudence..**
