Cindie clutched onto Callie for dear life, while Sonali put a bouquet of perky white daises on the grave of a perky woman. <br /><br />I sniffed, I didn't know her but I had been crying a lot. Crying for Cindie and Sonali. <br /><br />"Goodbye, Mother." Sonali's voice cracked as a single tear slid down her cheek. Chrissa walked up behind her best friend and hugged her tight. <br /><br />Charity noticed my solemn state and nudged my shoulder. <br />"You okay?" She asked. <br /><br />I shook my head. <br /><br />"Why not?" She asked again, her voice showing her concern. <br /><br />"I mean, that could have been my mom. I don't know, I guess it's kind of me regretting all those years I didn't spend with my mom." I sighed.<br /><br />"Have you called her lately?" She asked.<br /><br />"Yeah, we talk once a week now, but every time I hang up that phone, the reality sets in that I'm not with my mom anymore." I stated as we made our way back to the car.<br /><br />"You're not going to leave us like Julie, are you?" Charity's voice was even more concerned.<br /><br />I chuckled. <br />"No, it's just a reality I'm going to have to face up to." I said, turning around just to see Cindie blow a kiss to her mother's grave before walking towards the car.<br /><br />"But that could have been me." I whispered. <br /><br />"What's that?" Charity asked. <br /><br />"Nothing, come on. Let's go." I grabbed her hand and we walked back to the car. <br /><br /><br />**Prudence..**Prudencehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04023044412457194359noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2829017736881444039.post-62953992738799105042011-03-18T15:09:00.001-07:002021-11-13T14:05:29.031-08:00MotherI walked, solemnly into Cindie’s room. We don’t talk a lot regularly, but she didn’t come to school today and I was worried. <br /><br />“Cyn?” I asked, using her nickname. <br />”Yeah?” She asked, turning around. I looked a little closer and her eyes were red and puffy and she was clutching onto a tissue like it was her last lifeline.<br />“What’s wrong?” I asked, rushing to her side and sitting down next to her on her bed. <br />“My Mom.” She whispered.<br />“What about her?” I asked. <br />“She’s….. Dead.” Cindie said, then began sobbing on my shoulder. <br /><br />My eyes widened, her mom? DEAD? <br />I never met Cindie and Sonali’s mother, but I heard she was a sweet and caring woman.<br />Oh my goodness, Poor Cindie.<br /><br />I immediately grabbed Cindie and hugged her. <br />”Cynthia, I am so sorry.” I sniffled, using her real name. <br />“She was my mom, Prudence.” She sobbed into my shoulder. <br />“H-how?” I asked, stuttering. <br />Death is not one of my favorite things, and talking about it makes me scared and very depressed.<br /><br />“She had very severe pneumonia.” She screamed into my shoulder. I hugged her harder. <br />I didn’t say anything, I just sat there, patting Cindie’s back and rocking her back and forth. I let her cry out all of her sadness.<br /><br />We must have been sitting like that for 45 minutes or so, because Sonali came in the room.<br />“Cyn? Pru? What’s wrong?” Sonali asked. <br />Cindie just gave Sonali a solemn look and Sonali’s face fell.<br />“She’s dead isn’t she?” Sonali asked. <br />Cindie nodded and ran to hug her sister. <br /><br />They stood in the doorway, crying and hugging each other. <br />If I wasn’t blinking back tears, I would have realized just how beautiful of a moment it was. <br /><br />Sonali pulled back for a minute and for the first time since entering the room, she acknowledged my presence. <br />“Prudence, can we have a moment alone?” She asked. <br />I nodded and gave them both a hug, then walked out of the room and shut it behind me. <br /><br />That night, I realized that I haven’t talked to my mom in 2 years. I picked up the phone and dialed the number she gave me when she dropped me off at the Orphanage. <br /><br />“Hello?” A lady, I hope it was my mother, asked. <br />”Is Jacklynn Farrow there?” I asked. <br />“This is her. Who is this?” My mom asked. I smiled.<br />“Mom, it’s me. Prudence.” I said.<br />“PRUDY! I miss you terribly. How are you doing in Michigan?” She asked.<br />“I miss you too much! Everything here is fine, all of my sisters are amazing, and Melanie is taking good care of me.” I smiled.<br />“That’s great. Why did you call? Not that I’m not ecstatic to hear your voice, but I’m curious.” She asked.<br />“Well, two of my sisters, Sonali and Cindie, they are actual sisters. Well, sadly, their mother died earlier today…” My voice trailed off. <br />“That’s terrible! Tell them your father and I send our condolences.” She said, sadly.<br />“I will, well, after hearing that, I realized how lucky I was to have a living mother, so I called you!” I smiled. <br />“Aw, Well, I’ll always be here for you.” I could almost hear the smile on her face.<br />”So, Let me tell you how everything’s been going…” I smiled and sat down, catching up takes a lot out of you.<br /><br />Here’s some advice from Prudence;<br />Don’t take your mom for granted, you never know when you’re going to loose her. <br /><br />**Prudence..**Prudencehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04023044412457194359noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2829017736881444039.post-58346760514470440292011-03-14T13:55:00.001-07:002021-11-13T14:05:30.821-08:00Worse Times Get Worse"School. Meh." I muttered under my breath as I hurried down the hallways. <br /><br />If I was late to Art Class one more time Mrs. Freemont would have my head on a platter. <br /><br />I was almost there, when I heard footsteps walking behind me. I spun my head around almost automatically and saw Nathan, my boyfriend whom I haven't seen in what seems like twelve million years.<br /><br />"Nathan?" I asked, a smile dancing on my lips.<br />"Prudence, we need to talk." Nathan's face was serious. <br />"About what?" The smile fell flat.<br /><br />He said nothing, just grabbed my hand and pulled me into the Choir room where we would have Chorus 2 hours later. <br /><br />"I don't think you and I are right for each other." He said, quickly, like that would have it hurt less.<br /><br />My heart dropped and I opened my mouth to say something, but he halted me and continued.<br /><br />"You're an awesome girl, Prudence, and one lucky guy's going to meet you and win you over, but that guy isn't me." He finished. <br /><br />"Oh my gosh." Was all I managed to get out. <br /><br />I was in complete shock, but I could see this coming, we hadn't spoken in at least a month. <br /><br />"We should have managed to make time to see each other." I whispered, hoping he wouldn't hear. <br />"I know, but time tears people apart. I'm also quitting Chorus." He stated.<br /><br />I looked up at him, with his beautiful eyes that had always managed to make me melt, but... I felt nothing.<br /><br />WHAT? <br />HOW COULD I NOT FEEL ANYTHING?<br />NOT A THING?<br />HE'S MY BOYFRIEND!!!<br /><br /><em>'no he's not.'</em> My mind corrected. <br /><br />"W-why?" I stuttered.<br />"Because, Rachel says it's not cool to be in chorus." Nathan said. <br /><br />Rage filled me almost instantaneously. <br /><br />"RACHEL?! YOU'RE BACK WITH HER?!" I yelled. <br />He looked frightened, and nodded.<br />"WHY? SHE CHEATED ON YOU ONCE, SHE PROBABLY WILL DO IT AGAIN!" I yelled. <br />"She promised not to." He fired back.<br />"Well, you promised you'd never break up with me, but hey, every promise is made to be broken right?" Tears began to fall from my eyes and I turned around to walk away.<br /><br />"Pru, wait." Nathan said, reaching out and got a hold of my arm.<br />"LET ME GO." I yelled, breaking free from his grasp and ran away to art class and away from all of the lies. <br /><br /><br />Someone, please, kill me. <br />**Prudence..**Prudencehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04023044412457194359noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2829017736881444039.post-8386699331466106882011-03-10T13:07:00.001-08:002021-11-13T14:05:32.396-08:00Family TiesGOSH, it's been a while hasn't it, my lovely friends?<br />I AM SO SORRY!<br /><br />Do you know when school just gets SO crazy and hectic and it's the only thing you can focus on and that's because you HAVE to?<br /><br />That's my life.<br />In.A.Nutshell.<br /><br />No news on when Annabelle is coming home, but we DID find out that her sister, Mikayla, is going to be joining Julie, Rebecca and Elizabeth's family!

Charity whispered. <br />I turned my head to her, we were sitting in the Living Room. <br />I was watching TV while she was on her laptop. <br /><br />"What?" I whispered back, questioning why we were whispering in the first place.<br />"Let's try to find out who Melanie wants to get next." Charity beamed.<br />"YES!" I whisper-yelled.<br /><br />After a few clicks and searches, we had our girl.<br />"Got her!" Charity beamed.<br /><br />I grabbed my glass of Dr. Pepper and took a sip of it while looking.<br /><br />Yeah, the drink wasn't in my mouth for so long.<br /><br />You guys, <strong>ANNABELLE FREAKING MARTIN</strong> WAS ON THE SCREEN!<br />Remember, the girl who stole Sonny and Kenna away from me? <br />OH. MY. GLEE. <br />I was about to kill someone<br /><br />"WHY DID YOU SPIT IT OUT?" Charity asked, looking at me disgusted while she dried herself off with a napkin.<br /><br />"Because, that's, that's, that's........... <em>her</em>." My eyes narrowed.<br />"What do you have against her?" Charity asked.<br /><br />ARE YOU FOR CEREAL?<br /><br />My eyes were wide in shock, then I realized Charity hasn't been here long enough to know about me and Sonny and Kenna and Anna-<em>her.</em><br /><br />"B-b-because." I started, stuttering out of rage. "I.Hate.Her." I clenched my teeth.<br />"Why?" Charity's eyes raised. <br />"She stole two of my best friends from me." I explained.<br />"Who?" Charity seemed intrigued by my story.<br />"Alison Harrison and McKenna Applee." I smiled at all of the memories. <br />"Oh." Charity nodded.<br />"Yup. But An-SHE CAN'T JOIN OUR FAMILY! SHE CAN'T SHE CAN'T SHE-" I yelled.<br />"Pru." Charity interjected. "Calm down, there are thousands of other #35's out there. She might not be <em>the</em> doll that Melanie gets." <br /><br />I calmed down slightly, Charity <em>did</em> have a point.<br /><br />BUT STILL!<br /><br /><br />AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH<br />**Prudence..**Prudencehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04023044412457194359noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2829017736881444039.post-78912081468691483212011-02-20T15:51:00.000-08:002021-11-13T14:05:35.989-08:00I'm Not DeadHEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY EVERYONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE :D<br />[okay, I'm done with overly-spazzy introductions]<br /><br />I'm BACK :]<br />Thank you so much for all of the sweet 'get well soon's' and all of that jazz. <br /><br /><strong>ILOVEYOUALLWITHEVERYINCHOFMYHEART.</strong><br /><br />And just so this isn't a TOTAL waste of a post.......<br /><br /><strong>I HAVE SOME <em>BIG</em> NEWS!</strong><br /><br />Okay, well, don't tell anyone this but........<br /><br />MELANIE'S GOING TO GET A NEW DOLL!<br />SHE'S NOT DONE COLLECTING!<br /><br />She won't get this 'new doll' for a while, BUT STILL!!!!!!!!<br /><br />Okay, well I have to go eat dinner!<br />Blogz ya laterz!<br /><br />Charity - fail.<br />Prudence - WIN.<br /><br />**Prudence..**Prudencehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04023044412457194359noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2829017736881444039.post-19453550680779549412011-01-29T19:15:00.000-08:002021-11-13T14:05:38.699-08:00Get Well Soon Letters...?Hi everyone, Sonali here. <br /><br />Assuming most of you have read Chrissa's post about this whole ordeal. You will know that Prudence is in a coma. <br /><br />If you don't, well there you have it. A Coma.<br /><br />She got hit by a car and had massive head trauma, which caused her to fall into a coma. Well, Charity and I got this idea. <br /><br />Since she has all of you guys, we figured, maybe that you guys would want to drop her get well soon comments.....?<br /><br />Like, so when she gets better, she can smile and realize that you guys didn't forget about her.<br /><br />I know Prudence, and I know that it would make her feel a heck of a lot better if you guys did that. :)<br /><br />Thanks in advance, <br />Sonali <3Prudencehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04023044412457194359noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2829017736881444039.post-81294911436647565612011-01-25T13:31:00.000-08:002021-11-13T14:05:40.984-08:00Hold Up(s)okay everyone.<br />do you like posts when the blog owner writes about how much they HATE how like NO ONE is commenting on their posts?<br />Odds are, you don't.<br /><br />Neither do I, but now I understand how they feel.<br /><br /><br />COME ON GUYSSS!<br />I know blogging is for fun, and all, but I take time out of my day to write a post. I know I don't make one every day, <br />but that's because, not every day I live is blog-able.<br /><br />Sorry.<br /><br />I mean, I understand why you don't want to comment.<br /><br />No, actually I don't. <br /><br />Come on, there are THIRTY of you, <br /><br />3-0.<br /><br />But, it seems like there are only 3. <br /><br /><br />-Dear, this post is really whiny-<br /><br />but I just wanted to let you guys know that I'm really kind of sad, because every time Chrissa posts, it gets like 20000000 comments. <br /><br /><br />Stupid Chrissa -.-<br /><br /><br />Well, I hope you don't completely HATE me after this next line, but it's not because of the neglect I've been getting, but actually something really serious.<br /><br /><br />I'm not going to post on here until February 20th. <br /><br />The reason?<br /><br />Well, I guess you'll just have to figure that out for yourselves. ;)<br /><br />**A very jealous&mean Prudence..**<br /><br />OOOH!

My Science teacher, Mrs. Raeson, called to everyone in first hour.<br /><br />At AGPPA, they are starting a new thing, they change classes during the semester change.<br /><br />I waltzed up and picked up my schedule and looked it over.<br /><br />Here's what it said.<br /><br />FIRST HOUR - SCIENCE - MRS. RAESON<br />SECOND HOUR - ENGLISH - MR. MILLFORD<br />THIRD HOUR - ART - MS. ANDRIANS<br />FOURTH HOUR - MATH - MRS. GREGORY<br />FIFTH HOUR - HISTORY - MRS. HODGE<br />SIXTH HOUR - SPANISH - MRS. WILAMZA<br /><br /><br />"Awesome!" I smiled, then folded up the paper and put it in my back pocket.<br /><br />-THIRD HOUR-<br /><br />I walked into Spanish, all smiles. I hoped, more than anything, that I had at least ONE with Nathan. Our relationship is kind of on the rocks now, and I know that having classes together will revive it.<br /><br />"PEACH!" He smiled, greeting me at the door with a hug.<br />"NATE!" I smiled back, hugging him. Then I went to my seat and sat down.<br /><br />"Give." I said, cutting to the chase.<br />He nodded and handed me his schedule, which I compared to with my own.<br /><br />"No, no, no, no, no...." I muttered, sliding my finger down to the last class, silently hoping it said "Spanish."<br /><br />"Math." I whispered to myself. I looked up at Nathan.<br /><br />"So any classes?" He asked.<br />I shook my head.<br />"WHAT? This is an OUTRAGE! We should sue." He joked. <br />I fake-laughed, but my fake-laugh is very real. I could give Becca a run for her money at that whole 'Rising-Actress-Star' thing.<br /><br />(Today was a half day.) <br /><br />"See you all next semester! Also known as Monday!" Mrs. Wilamza smiled and sent us all on our way.<br /><br />"Bye Prudence! See you in Math!" Nathan called out to me, I turned and waved to him, then went to my locker and spent fourth and fifth hour in complete heartbreak.<br /><br />I made my way into Math Class, where all we did was turn in our homework and talk. As I was having a conversation with Nathan and my friend Alicia, I realized that this could be the last conversation we ever have.<br /><br />Yes, we're going out, but not seeing him everyday might lead him to.......<br /><br />Cheat.On.Me.<br /><br /><br />Before I knew it, the clock struck 11:14, and it was time to go home. I rushed out of the class room, holding back tears. I was halfway to my locker when I heard a voice calling out to me.<br /><br />"PRUDENCE!" <br />I turned around and saw Nathan trying to catch up to me.<br />"Yeah?" I asked, hoping he would say that he changed to my math class.<br />"I changed classes!" He smiled.<br />I smiled, and REALLY smiled this time.<br />"Who do you have?" I asked.<br />"Mr. Mathins." He smiled. <br />My smile faded. <br />"oh." I whispered, I remembered that Rachel (his ex-girlfriend) was in that class. <br />"Well, I will talk to you on Monday, hopefully. Bye Prudence." He kissed my forehead, then headed off to his locker. <br />I walked to my locker with my head held down and got all of my stuff and began to exit the school.<br /><br />I remembered the song Marisol was listening to by Michael Jackson.<br />How did it go? How?<br /><br />"He's out of my life." I began to sing. The original song was called 'She's Out Of My Life' but I changed the words. <br />"He's out of my life." I repeated, with more emotion.<br />"And I Don't Know Whether To Laugh Or Cry." I shook my head, walking slowly. <br />"I Don't Know Whether To Live Or Die" I looked around, all of the smiling faces were mocking me.<br />"And It Cuts Like A Knife" I imitated a cutting motion with my hand while singing.<br />"He's Out Of My Life." A tear escaped my tear duct before I could stop it.<br /><br />"It's Out Of My Hands<br />It's Out Of My Hands" I shook my head again. <br />"To Think For Three Months He Was Here." I changed the words again.<br />"And I Took Him For Granted I Was So Cavalier" I leaned up against a locker and stared at the ground while I sang.<br /><br />"Now The Way That It Stands<br />He's Out Of My Hands" I pushed my hands into my coat pocket.<br /><br />Then I started walking again. <br /><br />"So I've Learned That Love's Not Possession." I passed two friends hugging.<br />"And I've Learned That Love Won't Wait." I passed a couple smiling at each other.<br />"Now I've Learned That Love Needs Expression." I nodded while singing.<br />"But I Learned Too Late." I slapped my forehead softly.<br /><br />"He's Out Of My Life<br />He's Out Of My Life" I walked out of the doors and into the hustle and bustle of the parking lot.<br />"Danged Indecision And Cursed Pride." My voice intensified.<br />"Kept My Love For Him Locked Deep Inside" I got closer to where all of my sisters were in a little cluster.<br />"And It Cuts Like A Knife." I looked over to see a flash of jet black.<br /><br />"He's Out Of My....." My voice cracked. <br /><br />I spotted Nathan getting into his mom's car.<br /><br /><br /><br />"Life." I finished, then walked over to my sisters.<br /><br />"How Was Your Day?" Marisol asked me. <br />"Heartbreaking." I muttered as I watched the car drive away.<br /><br />I've had people fall out of my life, but it seems like Nathan was yanked out.<br /><br />**Peach..**Prudencehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04023044412457194359noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2829017736881444039.post-20774496301818882972011-01-15T12:04:00.000-08:002021-11-13T14:05:45.333-08:00Becca's ApologiesI walked up to the sparkly door and knocked on it. <br /><br />Yesterday was Becca's birthday, this is how it went.<br /><br />"Who is it?" Becca asked.<br />"Prudence." I sighed, I'm pretty much the only one she hasn't messed with.<br />She opened the door.<br />"HI PRU!" She hugged me. <br />I hugged back, but still.<br /><br />WHAT? DID SHE JUST....HUG ME? WITHOUT KICKING ME FIRST.<br /><br />"Beck, are you okay?" I asked.<br />"Yeah!" She smiled.<br />"Okay, and..... ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR!" I counted, smiling.<br /><br />Everyone stood outside their bedroom doors and started singing.<br /><br />"HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU! HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR BECCA! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOUUUUUUUU!" Everyone sang, smiling.<br /><br />We love birthdays, if you haven't noticed.<br /><br />"Oh my gosh! Thank you!" Becca smiled, hugging everyone of us individually. When she hugged Julia and Chrissa, however, there was a bit of tension.<br /><br />Julia and Becca have a really bad History together, they are constantly fighting.<br /><br />Chrissa and Becca, on the other hand, would get along FABULOUSLY if it weren't for the fact that they both have (or HAD) eyes for Matt Riden, Chrissa's crush.<br /><br />"And Chrissa. I'm sorry. I didn't know that you liked Matt first, and when I found out, I should have backed off. I am so sorry." Becca sincerely apologized.<br /><br />By the look on Chrissa's face, she was shell shocked.<br />"........Really?" Chrissa asked.<br />"Absolutely." Becca smiled.<br />"I forgive you" Chrissa hugged Becca.<br /><br />Everyone cheered. <br /><br />Becca made her way over to Julia.<br />"Julia Suzanne Albright." Becca started.<br />"Save it." Julia put up her hand.<br /><br />Everyone went silent. We all expected a fight to break out.<br /><br />"I forgive you." Julia smiled.<br />"Really?" Becca's eyes lit up.<br />"Yes, now hug me before I change my mind." Julia smiled, then brought Becca in for a hug.<br /><br />Then we all got dressed and went to Rebecca's house for a surprise party for Becca and Rebecca. Everyone seemed so happy and caring.<br /><br />I wonder how long this will last.Prudencehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04023044412457194359noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2829017736881444039.post-70727113224323683602011-01-14T12:32:00.001-08:002021-11-13T14:05:46.676-08:00Competition"Welcome back to Chorus, Prudence!" Mrs. Hodge smiled.<br />I walked into the doors of the auditorium and was tempted to turn around, I thought everyone would act the same.<br /><br />I looked around, <br /><br />only Nathan, Ryan, Callie, Elizabeth, Chrissa, Matt, Jake, Charity, Keith, Molly and I were there.<br /><br />"What happened?" I asked.<br />"Tyler, Peter, Jessica, and Casey quit." Charity sighed.<br />"We don't need them though." Ryan re-assured.<br />"They couldn't even sing" Callie muttered.<br /><br />Molly, Charity, Elizabeth, and Jake chuckled, everyone else smiled.<br />"Am I still in Chorus, or did you all kick me out?" I asked, nervously.<br />"YES, YOU'RE IN CHORUS!" Everyone exclaimed.<br />"Good" I sighed, smiling.<br /><br />Everyone got into their normal seats, <br />Callie, Chrissa, Matt, Jake, Elizabeth, Me, Nathan, Charity, Molly, Ryan, and Keith.<br /><br />"Well, everyone. We have our first EVER competition, so there are a few things we need to go over. Song choices, themes, costumes, choreography, and a name." Mrs. Hodge listed.<br />"Well, Sonali and Mrs. Hudson can be in charge of costumes." Chrissa started.<br />"And Cindie, Ben, and the Band can help pick the music." Matt added.<br />"And McIntire and I" Keith started and Molly rolled her eyes "Can be in charge of the choreography." Keith finished.<br /><br />"So that just leaves us with the themes, the songs, and the name." Mrs. Hodge stated.<br /><br />"Whoa, whoa, WHOA! A Name?" Callie asked, shocked.<br />"Yup! Our Chorus needs a name!" Mrs. Hodge nodded.<br /><br />"What are the themes?" Charity asked.<br /><br />"Well, there are 3 different rounds. The first round's theme is 'Grease' and we already have Jake and Elizabeth singing 'You're The One That I Want.'" Mrs. Hodge smiled to Jake and Elizabeth. <br />"The second round's theme is 'Judge's Choice' and they are rumored to pick the theme as 'Country.'" Mrs. Hodge smiled.<br />"OOOOOOH" Charity's eyes glistened. <br /><br />She.Loves.Country.<br /><br />"And the third one is themed 'Group Numbers' so all of you will be showcased in it." Mrs. Hodge finished.<br /><br />We all nodded, then went to pick out songs.<br /><br />COMPETITIONS.<br />we're coming :]<br /><br />**Prudence..**Prudencehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04023044412457194359noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2829017736881444039.post-24327212565613925382011-01-07T20:36:00.000-08:002021-11-13T14:05:48.288-08:00Prulizabeth-FIFTY POSTS? THANK YOU ALL! If it weren't for you, I would have stopped after 5-<br /><br />We all ran around to get into position.<br /><br />Tomorrow was the most important day of any of our doll-lives.<br />Tomorrow is Melanie's birthday.<br /><br />In a way, it's our Thanksgiving. <br />We show Melanie just how important she is to all of us. <br /><br />Trust me, she is VERY important to us. Especially me.<br /><br />While running around in a frenzy, I bumped into Marisol.<br /><br />"Oops! Sorry Mare." I apologized.<br />"Prudence, I need to tell you something" Marisol sighed.<br />"What?" I asked.<br />"Well," She started, pulling me into a corner. <br />"At school, on Friday, Charity kind of......" She trailed off.<br /><br />WHAT.DID.SHE.DO. :O<br /><br />"What?" I was growing impatient.<br />"CharitythreatnedLiz" Marisol said quickly.<br />"Can you say that again, in ENGLISH please." I muttered.<br />"Your <em>mejor amiga</em>, Charity, threatened your ex-<em>mejor amiga</em>, Elizabeth" Marisol sighed.<br /><br />Even though she used Spanish in there, I understood clearly.<br />CHARITY?<br />OH.MY.CHEESUS.<br /><br />I ran out of the room and busted into Charity's room.<br /><br />"CHARITY LYNNE EASTMAN GET YOUR BUTT OUT HERE <em>NOW</em>" I yelled.<br />She came out of her walk-in closet in a sparkly silver sleeveless dress.<br />"How do I look?" She asked. <br />"Like a disco ball" I joked.<br />She gave me a look.<br />"A very fabulous disco ball" I corrected.<br />She nodded.<br />"What did you need?" She asked, her hazel eyes twinkling.<br /><br />"What did you say to Liz? How did you threaten her?" I asked.<br />Her face fell.<br />"Oh, you heard about that?" She asked.<br />I nodded.<br />"I told her.......things" She stuttered.<br />"Like what?" I asked.<br />"Like how I kinda convinced you that Felicity was taking Liz away from you." She looked down.<br />"WHAT?" I yelled.<br />"It's all my fault. This whole fight. I need to go" Charity blinked back tears and ran into her closet again.<br /><br />My head swam.<br /><br />The only question on my mind was;<br />why?<br /><br />"Charity, I'm not really mad. I just need to know why" I sighed.<br />She came out of her closet again, with a box on tissues and Mascara running down her face.<br />"I told her that because I thought that you would leave me for Elizabeth, like you left me for Abbey. I know how the Abbey situation ended up, and I thought that Elizabeth would end the same way." She confessed.<br />I grabbed a tissue and wiped off her make-up.<br />"Charity, thank you for looking out for me, but I can do that by myself." I re-assured.<br />She nodded.<br />"I just saw how all of Liz's friends treated you and I didn't like it. I knew that I had to do something. On top of it all, who let it happen?" Charity asked.<br />"Liz" I sighed.<br /><br />There were a few minutes of silence.<br />"Charity, I'm not mad at you. I'm just mad at this whole situation." I sighed.<br />"I hope it all works out for the best" Charity sighed.<br /><br />I got a plan.<br />"It will. You go re-do your make-up and I will....." I stopped, looking at my outfit.<br /><br />I was still in my light blue cloud PJ's.<br /><br />"Go get dressed?" Charity offered.<br />"Yeah!" I giggled.<br /><br />I ran to my room and busted into my closet. I looked through all of my outfits.<br /><br />"It has to be here, It HAS too!" I exclaimed. <br /><br />"YES!" I exclaimed, pulling out my Beyonce outfit from the first week of Chorus.<br /><br />Memories, Memories, MEMORIES.<br /><br />I changed into it and put on my light purple Pea Coat and Charity put on her Lime Green Aeropostale hoodie and we busted out of the door and ran to a very important household.<br /><br />(-;-)<br /><br />I knocked on the door. <br />"Who is it?" A voice asked. <br />"Open and find out" I hid my voice. The original voice sounded like Rebecca, and <strong>GOD KNOWS</strong> how mad she was at me. <br />She opened the door, noticed me and went to shut it.<br />"NO!" I exclaimed, propping the door open with my foot.<br />"Why in the name of Chanel should I let either of you in my house?" She growled.<br />"Because we're here to apologize to one Miss Elizabeth Justine Cole" Charity used her 'Southern-Charm-ish' voice.<br /><br />Rebecca seemed to consider it.<br />"JUST LET THEM IN!" Julie yelled.<br /><br />I always did love Julie. <br /><br />"Come on in." Rebecca's normal smile re-appeared.<br />"Thank-you" Charity and I replied in unison.<br />We entered the house. I waved to Julie and Charity said 'hi.' Then we went up the stairs and walked to Elizabeth's door.<br /><br />I knocked on it. <br />"Good Luck" Charity said, then began to walk away.<br />"OH NO YOU DON'T!" I warned.<br />"What did I do?" Charity asked.<br />"Dude, did you SERIOUSLY just ask that." I rolled my eyes.<br />"Fine." Charity pouted.<br /><br />I knocked on the door once again.<br />"Rebecca, I already told you. I don't want to go shopping with y-" Elizabeth sighed, then opened the door and stopped mid-sentence.<br /><br />"Prudence?" She asked.<br /><br />"I wanted to s-" I was cut off by Charity giving me a nudge.<br />"We wanted to say that we were sorry." I corrected.<br /><br />"B-" She started, I put up a hand, to tell her to 'hush.'<br /><br />"I wanted to tell you how sorry I am for threatening you. I had no right to do that, I just didn't want to see Prudence get hurt again. Now I know not to fight her battles, though" Charity flashed me a smile, then grinned at Elizabeth. <br /><br />"I guess it's okay, Charity. You were just helping out a friend, I understand." Elizabeth smiled. <br /><br />"CHARITY!" Julie screamed.<br />"Yes?" Charity yelled down.<br />"CAN YOU HELP ME SORT THROUGH ALL OF OUR MAIL?" Julie asked.<br />"Sure!" Charity smiled. <br />"Bye Elizabeth, thank you for accepting my apology. I <strong>PROMISE</strong> I won't ever lock you in a closet again." Charity smiled, then walked downstairs to help Julie.<br /><br />Elizabeth smiled in Charity's direction, then turned to me.<br />"And you?" She asked.<br /><br />"I want to be your friend again. I know I am the one who got us into this whole mess because of my stupidity. I just wanted to get a fresh start, but little did I know, that fresh start HAD to include you. I'm soooooooooo sorry" I apologized.<br /><br />She looked at me. <br /><br />"But I don't expect you to accept my apolo-" I was cut off by a hug.<br /><br />A HUG.<br />HUG!<br />ELIZABETH!<br />PRUDENCE!<br />PRULIZABETH!<br />FRIENDS FOREVER!<br /><br />"I accept your apology. I'm sorry that everyone was so mean to you! I gave them a piece of my mind." Elizabeth re-assured.<br /><br />"Ahh it's okay. I could care less about them, I was just sad that I didn't have my bestest friend at my side." I smiled.<br /><br />"What about Felicity and Charity?" Elizabeth asked.<br /><br />"Well, sooner or later, someone will come along that is PERFECT for Lissie. And Charity..." I trailed off, I wanted to say Charity could be like our third amiga, but I didn't know how Elizabeth would take it.<br /><br />"Can be the third amiga" Elizabeth finished.<br /><br />I let out a relieved sigh.<br /><br />"So it's now Prulizarity?" I asked. <br />She let out a huge laugh, which I joined.<br /><br />When we were done, she smiled.<br /><br />"Yes, Prulizarity." She said.<br /><br />"What in the name of Glee are you wearing?" She asked, using one of our sayings.<br /><br />I showed her my Beyonce outfit.<br /><br />"The Gaga/Beyonce outfit? Ohmygosh!" Elizabeth smiled. <br /><br />I nodded.<br /><br />"So what are you doing at home?" Liz asked.<br />"We're planning for Mel's birthday party." I smiled.<br />"Oh! Of course! What time do you want us to be over?" She asked.<br />"About 3:30" I smiled.<br />"Awesome!" Elizabeth smiled.<br /><br /><br />It felt SO GOOD to have my best friend back <3<br /><br />All is right with the world <3<br /><br />**Prudence..**Prudencehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04023044412457194359noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2829017736881444039.post-67503441157094119202011-01-06T16:19:00.000-08:002021-11-13T14:05:56.484-08:00LifelineI ran and pushed the huge black doors open.<br /><br />Chorus had always been my escape, but today, it was a lifeline.<br /><br /><br />Today at AGPPA had been a living <strong>nightmare.</strong> <br /><br />I had Lizzie, Casey, Jake, Ryan, Julie, Julia, [JULIA, MY OWN SISTER!] Becca, [<em>that</em> didn't shock me] Rebecca, Rebecca's boyfriend Jeff, Rebecca's friend Ally, Julie and Julia's friend James, and last but not least Felicity giving me the death stare.<br /><br /><strong>ALL.</strong><em><strong>FREAKING.</strong></em><strong>DAY.</strong><br /><br />Every one's head's snapped to me. I was breathing heavily.<br /><br />"If it isn't the most aggravating girl at AGPPA" Jake muttered.<br />Nathan shot him a death glare, then me a confused look.<br /><br />I sat down in the middle of Nathan and Charity in the corner of the room. <br />As soon as my bottom touched the ground, Nathan attacked me with questions.<br /><br />"What's wrong?"<br />"Why has everyone been giving me the death glare?"<br />"WHAT HAPPENED?"<br />"Why do you have tear streaks down you-" He shut up once he realized it.<br /><br />"Did that <em>JERK</em> Rachel do this to you?" He asked.<br />I shook my head, Rachel had actually laid off the name-calling lately.<br />"Then who?" He asked. <br />I opened my mouth to speak, but nothing came out.<br /><br />I desperately looked to Charity to help me out.<br />"Her and Elizabeth got into a fight." Charity stated.<br />"Oh, Peach. I'm so sorry" He threw his arms around me and embraced me in a hug.<br /><br />The big doors slammed open again, and I saw Callie, Tyler, Matt, Molly, Keith, and Chrissa walking in.<br /><br />Surely, they'd be on my side. Right?<br /><br /><strong>WRONG.</strong><br /><br />"Fail-ow" Tyler muttered. <br />Keith snickered and they went over to the rest of the traitors. <br /><br />"HEY!" Callie yelled.<br /><br />Everything went quiet.<br /><br />"Okay two things. <br />One; GET OVER IT, LIZ. I love you to death, but getting everyone in the whole dang school involved? Aren't you better than that?<br /><br />Two; EVERYONE STOP FIGHTING SOMEONE ELSE'S BATTLE! What are we all, SEVEN? God" Callie sat down on the chairs and Molly, Chrissa, and Matt sat next to her.<br /><br />I shot her a thankful smile, she waved back.<br /><br />The doors slammed for a last time. <br /><br />"HELLO EVERYONE! I suppose you all had a LOVELY break!" She hummed.<br /><br />Scattered mutters waved across the room.<br /><br />"Well, we have to start practicing for Competition on January 20th!" Mrs. Hodge sang.<br /><br />Everyone perked up.<br /><br />COMPETITION?<br />AWESOMEEE!<br /><br />"Where are we competing?" Molly asked.<br />"We are going to go to...........<br />CHICAGO!" Mrs. Hodge smiled.<br /><br />Chrissa and Molly squealed. Keith and Ryan gave each other a high five. Casey and Elizabeth hugged.<br /><br /><strong>That should be me.</strong> One of the voices in my head muttered.<br /><em>NO! REMEMBER, YOU WANTED THIS!</em> Another yelled. <br /><strong>YEAH WELL NOT ANYMORE!</strong> The first one yelled.<br /><em><strong>STOP IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! </strong></em> The peaceful voice yelled, then went back to listening to The Beatles.<br /><br />"Well, there are three different rounds. The first is themed 'Grease' after the movie. We have picked the song 'You're The One That I Want'" Mrs. Hodge smiled.<br /><br />Wait, wasn't it called 'Better Shape Up?'<br />Ahh, who cares. I loved that song anyways.<br /><br />"Who will sing it?" Keith asked.<br />"Jake and Elizabeth" Mrs. Hodge smiled.<br /><br />Jake and Elizabeth flashed each other a smile, Casey smiled to Liz. <br /><br /><strong>THAT SHOULD B-</strong><br />I imagined the peaceful voice in my head throwing a shoe at the obsessive one.<br /><br /><br />"The other rounds are Judge's choice and a Surprise one. For the Surprise one, it's rumored that they will have the theme be Country songs." Mrs. Hodge smiled.<br /><br />I looked at Charity, she was originally from Tennessee, [She lost her AMAZING accent though] and she LOVES Country, so, needless to say, she was ecstatic.<br /><br />"I think I will have Jessica sing that one" Mrs. Hodge turned to Jessica and smiled.<br />Charity's smile deteriorated.<br /><br />I raised my hand.<br />"Yes, Prudence?" Mrs. Hodge asked.<br /><br />Everyone in the 'Traitors Circles' scoffed.<br /><br />"Well, no offense to Jessica or anything, but I think Charity should sing the song. Because she's new and all" My voice got quiet.<br /><br />"AND YOUR ONLY FRIEND" Jessica yelled. The Traitors erupted in giggles.<br /><br />"THAT'S IT" Callie said, standing up. <br />"NO!" Chrissa said, grabbing her arms and pulling her down to her chair. <br /><br />"YOUR GOING TO GET YOUR FAT LITTLE HIPPIE IN IT TOO? WOW, FAIL-OW." Casey yelled.<br /><br />That was it.<br /><br />"I AM DONE. WOW, EXCUSE ME FOR NOT WANTING TO BE ONE PERSON'S FRIEND. AND APPARENTLY, FOR A GOOD REASON TOO." I yelled, then grabbed Nathan and Charity's arms and pulled them out of the auditorium, with Callie, Molly, Chrissa, and Matt following close behind.<br /><br />"BYE JERKS" Callie yelled.<br /><br />"CALLIE!" Molly yelled, grabbing her cousin's arm and pulling her out into the halls with the rest of us.<br /><br />We never looked back.<br /><br />**Prudence..**Prudencehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04023044412457194359noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2829017736881444039.post-45026324617112478492011-01-05T16:58:00.000-08:002021-11-13T14:05:57.909-08:00Revolving Into New StartsToday was my first day back from Christmas Break.<br /><br />I woke up dreading going to school because Elizabeth and I got into that huge fight in the last post...... and yeah.<br /><br />I started fake-coughing.<br />"Prudence? Are you okay?" Marisol asked, sincerely.<br />"I......don't.....think....so" I said in between coughs.<br />She put the back of her hand on my forehead.<br />"You don't have a fever! I can't have you stay home because it's the first day back! Don't you want to see your friends?" Marisol asked, concerned.<br />"I don't have any." I gave up the coughing bit.<br /><br />I heard footsteps run down the hall.<br /><br />"Oh sure you do! What about Lizzie? You two are inseparable!" Marisol exclaimed.<br />"Not anymore." I groaned, grabbing a bottle of water.<br />"Oh, I'm sorry. What happened?" Marisol asked.<br />"I think Felicity is taking her away from me! When I confronted her about it, she said that CHARITY, of ALL PEOPLE, was taking ME away from HER!" I yelled.<br />"Why do you say 'Charity of all people?'" Marisol had gone into Twenty Questions mode.<br />"Because, I love Chair to death, but we could never be best friends." I sighed.<br />"Why not?"<br />"Because, she looks TOO much like Abbey!" I said, going into my closet to change for school.<br />I shut the door, but Marisol continued the conversation, sitting outside the door.<br /><br />"Why is that a bad thing? Abbey is your best friend" Marisol said.<br /><br /><br />I stopped dead in my tracks.<br />I didn't tell ANYONE about the fight except El-<em>her.</em><br /><br />"Not anymore. Before Christmas I told her that I think, because we live so far away now, that we should both find new friends and she like blew up on me." I explained.<br /><br />The pain from loosing Abbey, even if it's what I wanted, was <strong>unbearable</strong>.<br /><br />"Oh Prudence, I am so sorry." Marisol sniffed.<br />"Thanks, Mar. Go get your stuff, I need to get ready." I sighed, pulling my Bat-Winged Shirt of the Beatles' album, 'Revolver' on.<br /><br />That was Abbey's favorite album.<br /><br />"It's mine too." Some one's soft voice sighed.<br />I jumped.<br />"Did I say that out loud?" I asked, frantic.<br />"Yeah." The soft voice said.<br />"Oh and it's Charity, the girl you can't be friends with." Charity sighed.<br />"Char, you know I didn't mean it like that! I meant......" I trailed off.<br />"I know what you meant. I didn't expect you, of all people, to be mean to me." She said.<br />"I didn't mean to be mean, I had a lot on my mind and apparently I took it out on you. Which was so wrong of me." I sighed, putting on my stone-washed grey jean leggings.<br />"I know you didn't mean to hurt me, it just did. Bad." Charity sighed.<br />"I'm really sorry, that wasn't my motive" I sighed, putting a bow into my hair.<br />"It's okay." I could hear the smile on Charity's face.<br /><br />There was a little bit of silence.<br /><br />I grabbed my Tote Bag/Backpack that was all black with an over-sized white bow.<br />"So what's your favorite song on 'Revolver?'" Charity asked.<br />"I love them all, but if I <em>had</em> to pick, it'd be either 'Yellow Submarine' or 'Here, There, and Everywhere.'" I smiled.<br />"Oh I LOVE those songs, but my favorite would have to be 'Taxman.' George.Is.SO.HOT!" Charity squealed.<br /><br />I opened the door.<br /><br />"I swear, you and your cousin are like twins" I laughed.<br />"Hey you never know, maybe we've just been fooling you all these years" Charity laughed along.<br />"Wait, I thought you didn't like The Beatles?" I asked.<br />"I decided to become a more well-rounded person, and I fell in love with their music! Taylor Swift will ALWAYS be numero uno, but The Lads are a close second" Charity smiled.<br /><br />I looked at her outfit.<br /><br />She was wearing a long sleeved white shirt under a short strapless green dress that stopped at her knees. She was wearing white leggings and green high heels. To top it off, she was wearing a green headband like her idol, Taylor Swift.<br /><br />"Cute outfit" I smiled.<br />"Thanks! You too! I love that shirt" Charity smiled, pushing a strand of gorgeous curly platium blond hair out of her face.<br /><br />I looked at her wrist and my jaw nearly dropped.<br /><br />She was wearing a woven bracelet that said;<br /><br /><strong><span style="font-size:180%;">'A&P. BFFZ'</span></strong><br /><br />I remember Abbey and I making those bracelets in the Summer that we were 8 and OBSESSED with everything ending in 'Z.'<br /><br />"The year I was Prudencez" I chuckled.<br />"What?" Charity asked.<br />"And you were Charityz" I said louder.<br /><br />Charity was nearly always at Abbey's house in the Summer because her parents liked to take lots and lots of vacations without her, sadly.<br /><br />"Oh this? Yeah I remember that" Charity smiled.<br />"I felt left out when you guys went to the Tree house to make them." Charity looked down.<br />"Hey, I have an idea" I said.<br />"Do you have a Sharpie Marker?" I asked.<br />"Yup!" Charity smiled, pulling out a black Sharpie marker from her Green tote bag.<br />"Thanks, now gimme your wrist" I instructed.<br />"Okay" Charity did as she was told.<br /><br />I scribbled out the 'A' and wrote a 'C.' on her Hot Pink and Lime Green bracelet.<br />Charity looked down and smiled, then did the same to my Violet and Teal one.<br /><br />"Best Friends? You and Me?" Charity asked.<br />"Forever" I confirmed.<br /><br />We locked arms and I pulled my iPod out of my backpack and put the right ear bud into her right ear and the left one in my left ear.<br /><br />"WE ALL LIVE IN A YELLOW SUBMARINE!" We both yell-sang the whole way to school, without a care in the world<br /><br />**Prudence..**Prudencehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04023044412457194359noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2829017736881444039.post-7039338534478358862011-01-04T15:11:00.000-08:002021-11-13T14:05:59.707-08:00Where We Stand-continued from last one-<br /><br />"Woahhh." I said when I came too.<br />I looked up into two pairs of stellar blue eyes.<br /><br />"Pru?"<br />"Peach?"<br />"Are you okay?"<br />"You had us worried!"<br /><br />I sat up.<br />"Callie? Nathan?" I asked.<br />Nathan wrapped his arms around me and kissed my nose.<br />"Yes?" He asked.<br />"Are they gone?" I asked.<br />"Yes, and don't worry. If anyone else comes after you, they'll have to go through me and your sisters." Nathan kissed my cheek.<br />"Thank you" I thanked, softly.<br />"And thank you, Callie" I turned to Callie.<br />"No, thank you for staying here." Callie smiled.<br />"Where?" I asked, confused.<br />"Alive." Callie said.<br /><br /><br />I could have <strong>died?</strong><br /><br />"Wow, it must've been real bad." I sighed.<br />They nodded.<br />"The two jerks are in jail now, they won't be able to come after you" Callie re-assured with a smile.<br />"Oh thank God!" I smiled.<br /><br />-Today-<br /><br />"Marisol. Do we HAVE to go home?" Julia asked.<br />"Yeah, I mean, Mel can just fly out here for her birthday!" Felicity groaned.<br />"Girls, we have to go! What kind of dolls would we be if we didn't go home for our guardian's birthday?" Marisol asked.<br />"Dolls on vacation" Julia muttered.<br />"Now, Julia, this is why you're grounded." Marisol said, sternly, then paid the bellhop to take all of our stuff to the taxi outside.<br /><br />I was halfway back, down the hall. Sonali needed help carrying her bags, so I was helping carry a big light pink bag, when I heard;<br /><br />"Prudence?" <br />I turned to see Elizabeth. <br /><br /><strong>Why aren't you with <strong>Felicity</strong> -.-</strong><br /><br />"Yeah?" I put on my fake smile.<br />"Can I ask you something?" She asked, I nodded and I gave the other bag to Charity, who helped Sonali carry it to the taxi downstairs.<br /><br />"What's wrong?" She asked.<br />"What's wrong with me? What's wrong with you! You are the one who like ran out of the garden a couple days ago!" I sighed.<br />"Because Charity is taking you away from me." Elizabeth sighed, studying her shoes.<br /><br /><em>WHAT? NO! <strong>FELICITY</strong> IS TAKING YOU AWAY FROM MEEEEEE!</em><br /><br />"No! Charity's not taking me away from you! Felicity is taking YOU away from ME!" I nearly yelled. She had it all wrong!<br /><br />"P-P-Prudence, you're scaring me" She said with her blue eyes at the size of basketballs.<br />"I'm sorry! It's just.............." I trailed off.<br /><br /><em>What in the name of Glee was it?</em><br /><br />I took a big sigh and said.<br />"I don't think I want to be your friend anymore." I gulped back tears.<br />"WHAT?" She yelled.<br />"I don't think that I truly am your best friend! I think it's more Felicity now." I sighed.<br />"Well, even though she can get a little stalker-ish, FELICITY won't break my heart!" Elizabeth yelled than ran to her room to get her stuff.<br /><br />School will be crap tomorrow.<br />**Prudence..**Prudencehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04023044412457194359noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2829017736881444039.post-61322470379099279462011-01-03T15:52:00.000-08:002021-11-13T14:06:01.251-08:00Dazed and ConfusedI was walking to my hotel room. <br />"How fun" I muttered to myself, thinking about how Julia stood up to Becca.<br /><br />Last night, my sister, Julia, sang a song to 'Forget' Becca. If you want to read it, check the sidebar for a blog called 'fly away' and look for the post entitled 'Forget You.'<br /><br />As I was rummaging through my purse I heard footsteps.<br />I passed it off as other people going to their rooms.<br /><br />"GET HER!" One high voice whisper-yelled.<br /><br />I heard and turned to look at two tall figures in all black running at me.<br /><br />"AHHHHHHHHHHH!" I yelled and started running.<br /><br />We ran past Nathan's room, which I kicked while running.<br /><br />I was halfway down the hall when he opened the door.<br /><br />"NATHAN HELPPPPPPPPPPPP!" I yelled.<br /><br />One of the Pru-nappers running after me made a grab to get my arm.<br />I pulled off one of my high heels and threw it at him.<br /><br />"OW!" He yelled then fell to the ground.<br /><br />I looked pleased with myself.<br /><br /><br /><em>I hit a criminal</em> my mind sang.<br /><br />I ran to the elevator and went down 20 flights to end up in the ballroom.<br /><br /><em>And no stalker!</em> <br /><br />I was going to do a little victory dance, but two large arms grabbed me and picked me up.<br />"AHHHHHHHHHHH!" I screamed at the top of my lungs. <br /><br />Did no one hear me?<br /><br />"HELP! I NEED SOMEBODY!" I screamed the words to a Beatles song, hoping Callie would come busting out of any of the doors.<br /><br />I saw two figures coming behind the guy.<br />"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH THERE'S MORE!" I yelled and the guy put his hand over my mouth.<br />"Shut your mouth" He muttered.<br />I bit his palm and he dropped me.<br /><br />"TAKE THIS YOU JERK!" I heard a voice yell, and someone hit the guy with a Fire Extinguisher.<br /><br />"Prudence, Prudence, Prudence! Are you alright?" A girl asked me.<br /><br />"Wh-wh-what happened?" I asked, dazed and confused.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />"Someone tried to kidnap you" She explained.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Yep, then it was all over. <br /><br />I fainted.<br /><br /><br />**Prudence..**Prudencehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04023044412457194359noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2829017736881444039.post-34571438401953529382010-12-31T19:59:00.000-08:002021-11-13T14:06:03.859-08:00Rocky Road"And here's our room!" Lizzie smiled, opening the door to a spacious room.<br /><br />It had three rooms, one with one bed, and one with two beds.<br /><br />"I CALL THE TWO BED ROOM!" Felicity beamed.<br /><br /><em>Gee, I wonder who she wants to share it with.</em><br /><br />"I'll share it with Lizzie!" Felicity's green eyes sparkled.<br />"Okay! Prudence, you don't mind being alone, right?" Lizzie asked.<br />"No, it's fine!" I lied through my teeth.<br /><br />I then walked to my room, then threw my bags down.<br />"Happy new year." I groaned.<br /><br />I walked over to the window and pulled back the curtains.<br /><br />I stood in amazement, the Rocky Mountains looked so pure and untouched.<br /><br />"Abbey would love it here," I sighed, then immediately shook my head.<br /><br /><em>Forget her</em> my mind advised.<br /><br />Then I remembered my dilemma now.<br /><br />Felicity is taking Lizzie away from me. <br />But, didn't I originally take her away from Felicity?<br /><br />DANG! This is too confusing!<br /><br />"Prudence! Mrs. Hodge just called, it's time to get ready for rehearsal!" Lizzie poked her head in the doorway.<br /><br />"Okay." I sighed, then pulled the curtains back into their original position.<br /><br />If I don't get in another post before midnight, Happy New Year Everyone!<br /><br /><br />**Prudence..**Prudencehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04023044412457194359noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2829017736881444039.post-22718354344447313382010-12-30T21:02:00.000-08:002021-11-13T14:06:05.086-08:00Arrival"RUN!" Marisol yelled. <br /><br />Callie, Cindie, my new sister Felicity, and Jess all bolted to stop a taxi man. <br /><br />While Marisol, Julia, and Sonali all waddled out of the train station with all of our bags.<br /><br />"Thank-you!" I smiled to the taxi driver, then walked back to the trunk to put in all of our stuff.<br /><br />We flew into Colorado and were headed to The Rockies Resort. <br />That's where the Chorus got booked to sing at a New Years Eve Party for one of Mrs. Hodge's friends.<br /><br />"When are Lizzie, Rebecca, and Julie flying in?" Julia asked, pushing in one of Becca's MASSIVE sparkly pink suitcases.<br /><br />"Later today." Felicity explained, helping Julia. <br /><br />[Yesterday all of this happened.]<br /><br />"No," Marisol started, pointing to three girls running out of the train station.<br /><br />"BECCA BUG!" Rebecca screamed<br />"BECKSTER!" Becca yelled, crashing into Rebecca and hugging her tight.<br /><br />Rebecca and Becca are twin sisters, they look almost EXACTLY alike.<br />The only way you can tell them apart, is by how they dress.<br /><br />EVERYTHING Becca owns is covered in rhinestones. <br />While Rebecca has a bit of an obsession with designer clothes.<br /><br />I turned my head to see Julie and Julia running towards each other as if they haven't seen each other in 23 years.<br /><br />"JULES!" Julia cried, hugging Julie.<br />"J-BUG!" Julie yelled, returning the hug.<br /><br />Now with Julia and Julie, you can tell which one is which because of the fact that Julie now has braces, and Julia doesn't.<br /><br /><br /><br />I turned to a certain blond-haired, blue-eyed girl running towards me and attacking me with a bear hug.<br />"LIZ!" I beamed.<br />"PRU!" Elizabeth yelled. <br /><br />Now Elizabeth and I aren't twins, but she's my best friend. No doubt about tha-<br /><br />"LIZZIE!" Felicity screamed, running towards Elizabeth.<br /><br />HUH?<br /><br />"LISSIE!" Liz beamed, then caught Felicity in a hug.<br /><br />HUH? HUH? HUH?<br /><br />"Come on, Prudence" Charity's soft voice called out. <br />I smiled, but Charity's odd resemblance to Abbey kind of stood in the way of our friendship blossoming.<br /><br /><em>New Year, New Friends, Prudence.</em><br />My mind seemed to whisper.<br /><br />"LET'S GET TO THE RESORT!" Marisol called out then we all raced into the huge limo-sized taxi.<br /><br /><br />Tonight is the night we perform, I'll tell you all how it goes tomorrow!<br />HAPPY NEW YEAR!<br /><br />**Prudence..**Prudencehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04023044412457194359noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2829017736881444039.post-83028074369472178802010-12-22T10:40:00.000-08:002021-11-13T14:06:06.689-08:00Tears"PRUDENCE, YOU HAVE A PHONE CALL!" Chrissa called up to me. <br /><br />I was in my room, reading a magazine. I picked up my phone.<br /><br />"Hello?" I asked.<br />"Hey Prudence!" A familiar voice sang.<br />"ABBEY!" I beamed! I hadn't heard from Abbey for a whole week.<br />"What's up?" I asked.<br />"Nothing much." She said.<br /><br />I had to tell her something.<br />I mean, it might have sounded mean, but it's what I was feeling.<br /><br />"Abbey.." I sighed.<br />"What?" She asked.<br />"I think..." I trailed off, I couldn't find it in my heart to tell her what needed to be said.<br />"What?" She repeated.<br />"I think, since we probably won't ever see each other again, that we should find new best friends." I felt like crying.<br />"What? Why?" She asked.<br />"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.<br />She had a pause.<br />"WELL FINE! I'M GOING TO FIND WAAAAAAAY BETTER FRIENDS THAN YOU! I ALREADY HAVE TWO NOW." She yelled.<br />"That's not what I meant!" I exclaimed, I didn't want to stop being her friend, I just wanted her to find a better one. <br />"WELL I DON'T CARE! NOW I KNOW WHY I WAS ONE OF YOUR ONLY FRIENDS AT SCHOOL!" She yelled.<br />There was no use stopping her. Once Abbey starts a rant, it's nearly impossible to stop her.<br />"AND ANOTHER THING! YOU ARE SUCH A WITCH AND YOU HAVE SOME <em>MAJOR</em> PROBLEMS WITH YOUR LIFE! I HOPE YOU DIE ALONE." She yelled and hung up. Oh, and instead of 'witch' she said a word that rhymes with that, but starts with a 'B.'<br /><br />I felt like crying, then I realized something.<br /><br />If she was worth crying for, she wouldn't have said that.<br /><br />I put the phone back, slid down my wall, and much to my dismay....<br /><br />Cried my heart out.<br /><br />**Prudence..**Prudencehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04023044412457194359noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2829017736881444039.post-87913309573383687422010-12-20T19:21:00.000-08:002021-11-13T14:06:08.033-08:00Change"Change better be a good thing" I muttered walking home from Rebecca, Julie, & Elizabeth's house.<br /><br />Today, Rebecca unveiled that she is twins with one of my newest sisters, Becca. <br /><br />My mind is like swimming right now. <br /><br />Too much change for Pru to handle.<br /><br />1) Abbey moving away.<br />2) Molly having a crush on Keith after hating him for so long.<br />3) Julie changing her name to Julia.<br />4) Charity moving back.<br />5) Nathan telling me he loved me.<br />6) Melanie getting another doll for Christmas. <br />7) Julia and Julie being twins.<br /><br />Of course, and now..<br /><br />8) Becca and Rebecca being twins.<br /><br />WHY CAN'T THINGS JUST STAY THE SAME?!<br /><br />**Prudence..**<br /><br />[a REAL post will come soon]<br />[[Julia has a blog now; link in the side]]Prudencehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04023044412457194359noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2829017736881444039.post-27100921560122291102010-12-16T16:52:00.001-08:002021-11-13T14:06:11.974-08:00Disco Bell Rock"Come on Pru!" Elizabeth called as she pulled me into the auditorium.<br /><br />Today was the day of AGPPA's 1st Annual Winter Dance, which the Chorus was supposed to perform at.<br /><br />"I can't do this." I groaned. The butterflies in my stomach were going crazy.<br />"Come on, Prudence! Yes you can! You sing in front of the Chorus EVERY week." Elizabeth smiled.<br />"But this is different. The Chorus is like my second family, the whole school..... Not so much." I shuddered.<br />"Come on, Prudence. We're going to be late." Elizabeth rolled her eyes and walked with me to the dressing room.<br /><br />"PRU!" Molly and Callie chorused. They were in our costumes which were either red dresses (Molly, Elizabeth, & Chrissa) or white dresses. (Casey, Jessica, & Callie)<br /><br />"Where's my dress?" I asked Mrs. Hodge as she came in to check on us.<br />"Oh Prudence. You're going to be singing the solo. The crowd needs to distinguish you from the rest of the Chorus." Mrs. Hodge smiled.<br />"So, I'll be like the center of everything?" I asked.<br />"Yeah! Come on, I'll show you your dress." She smiled, then walked with me to the clothes rack.<br />"There." She pointed to a black bag over a hanger.<br />"Oh my gosh." I gushed. It was perfect! It was a knee-length, sleeveless gold dress.<br />"Where did you get this?" I asked. <br />"Oh, I have my sources." She smiled.<br />"Mrs. Hudson and Sonali?" I asked.<br />"Yeah!" She laughed and I joined in.<br />She checked her watch. "Okay! Girls, I will go call in the boys to come in here so we can warm up." Mrs. Hodge clapped her hands together and walked to the boy's dressing room.<br />"Wow Prudence! That dress is GORGEOUS!" Elizabeth gushed.<br />"It looks amazing with your black hair." Molly complimented.<br />Jessica walked by, took a look at me, and smiled <br />"Cute." Then walked over to the make-up mirror.<br />"Thanks." I responded.<br />"You all look really cute too." I smiled.<br />"Prudence, I need to tell you something." Chrissa sighed, pulling me to a side of the room.<br />"What?" I asked.<br />"Abbey....." She started. The look on her face said she didn't know how to say it.<br />"What?" I repeated.<br />"Abbey......... Went......... Home." She whispered.<br /><br />My heart shattered.<br />"WHAT?! HOW?! WHEN?!" I yelled.<br />"She went back to Massachusetts on a plane at three o'clock in the morning on Tuesday." Chrissa sighed.<br />"Oh my God." I just whispered. My best friend was gone?<br /><br />Without a second thought?<br />Or even a goodbye?<br /><br />"The boys are here!" Keith announced.<br />Molly rolled her eyes "We're not blind, Hudson."<br />Keith looked at Molly and immediately was at a loss for words.<br />"What?" Molly asked. "Do I have something in my teeth?" <br />"No, Keith here's just enjoying the vie-" Ryan came up behind Keith and patted his back, but couldn't finish the sentence because Keith elbowed him in the ribs.<br />"Sorry, just calling it like I see it." Ryan put both of his hands up, then walked to Casey. <br /><br />"Where's Nathan? Or did he leave too?" I asked nastily.<br />"Prudence, I'm really sorry." Chrissa sighed.<br />"Well you knew, but you didn't tell me." I fired.<br />"I'm so sorry." Chrissa whispered then walked over to Matt.<br /><br />I heard footsteps coming up behind me, but I didn't care enough to look.<br /><br />My best friend was....... Gone.<br />What was I going to do?<br /><br />"PEACH!" An all-too-familiar voice called out.<br />I spun around "Hey." I glum ed at Nathan.<br />"What's wrong, Pru?" He asked, holding my cheek.<br />"Abbey's gone." I whispered on the verge of tears.<br />"What?" He asked.<br />I explained it to him, everything.<br />"Oh my goodness, Prudence! I am so very sorry." He apologized.<br />"Sorry's not going to bring her back." I sighed.<br />"Well, on the bright side. You look beautiful." He smiled.<br />I blushed, but not as intensely as I would have without knowing about Abbey's departure.<br />"Thanks, Nathan. You look amazing as well." I complimented, he did. The black suit he was wearing looked awesome on him.<br /><br />"OKAY EVERYONE, GATHER AROUND!" Mrs. Hodge called out as soon as we all got back stage.<br />"We have 3 songs to perform. 'Jingle Bell Rock,' 'Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree' and 'Merry Christmas Darling.'" She instructed.<br />We all nodded. <br />"Okay, I'll go introduce you all." She smiled, then turned to walk on stage.<br />"Mrs. Hodge! Wait!" I stopped her.<br />"Yes, Prudence?" She questioned.<br />"Can I sing something else instead of 'Merry Christmas Darling?'" I asked.<br />She thought about it for a second.<br />"Sure." She smiled.<br />"Thank-you!" I thanked then walked back to where the Chorus was sitting.<br /><br />"Okay, now we have a very special treat for all of you!" Mrs. Migliori, the School's principal, announced.<br />A low mutter scattered across the crowd. I looked out and saw all of my sisters and Julie and Rebecca.<br />"Mrs. Hodge will tell you all more about it." Mrs. Migliori smiled then motioned for Mrs. Hodge to come on the stage.<br /><br />When Mrs. Hodge walked on stage, there was an abundant amount of applause.<br />"WOOOOOO!" I heard Marisol scream.<br />"Merry Christmas, my little Retro Kiddies." Mrs. Hodge joked. The crowd laughed.<br />"We, as in the Chorus and I, have some Christmas cheer to spread." Mrs. Hodge smiled. The mention of the Chorus caused all of my sisters & friends to scream " GO PRUDENCE, MOLLY, CALLIE, CHRISSA AND LIZZIE!"<br />"I bet you're all wondering what it is. Well why don't we just show you?" She smiled, then walked off stage and pulled the curtains to that they were spread on the stage.<br />"GO GO GO!" She whispered. <br /><br />We all got in position. <br />Callie and Tyler were back to back. Same with Casey and Ryan. Molly and Keith. Peter & Jessica. Elizabeth and Jake. I was standing alone in the middle with my arms in a 'V' shape and Nathan behind me.<br />"Prudence and Nathan! Get back to back with her!" Mrs. Hodge pointed to a new girl in the exact same gold dress as me. I motioned for her to come back-to-back with me, which she did.<br /><br />We all were wearing Santa hats that matched our outfits, so Red hats for Molly, Elizabeth, and Chrissa. Or white hats for Callie, Casey, and Jessica. All the boys were SUPPOSED to be wearing black Santa hats, but they decided that wearing Reindeer ears were better. The new girl and I were both wearing metallic gold hats.<br /><br />"Hi, I'm Charity." She whispered.<br />"CHARITY?!" I yelled. <br /><br />Abbey had a cousin who looked EXACTLY like her named Charity. Charity and I were really good friends.<br />"PRUDENCE?!" She yell-whispered.<br />We hugged.<br />"It's been so long!" I whispered.<br />"I know!" She laughed.<br />"What are you doing here?" I asked.<br />"Abbey sent me to live with you and your sisters." She smiled.<br />"Oh really?" I raised an eyebrow, Abbey was very surprising.<br />"Yeah! Oh and Abbey says 'Sing out, Prudence!'" Charity informed.<br />I laughed. <br />"See Prudence. Abbey still cares about you." Nathan smiled. I nodded.<br /><br />"One, Two, One, Two, Three, Four." Cindie called off and motioned for the band to start playing 'Jingle Bell Rock.'<br /><br />"Jingle Bell, Jingle Bell, Jingle Bell Rock." Everyone sang in harmony.<br />"Jingle bells swing" The girls sang.<br />"and jingle bells ring" The guys sang.<br />"Snowin' and blowin' up bushels of fun<br />Now the jingle hop has begun" We all danced.<br /><br />"Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock<br />Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time" The boys spun around the girl they were partnered up with, Nathan spun both Charity and I around.<br /><br />"Dancin' and prancin' in Jingle Bell Square<br />In the frosty air" We all sang.<br /><br />"What a bright time, it's the right time<br />To rock the night away<br />Jingle bell time is a swell time<br />To go glidin' in a one-horse sleigh" <br />Casey walked to center stage and sang AMAZINGLY.<br />When she sang 'rock' she acted like she was playing a guitar.<br /><br />"Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet" Charity joined in, skipping to her in <br />"Jingle around the clock" They both walked around in a circle.<br />"Mix and a-mingle in the jinglin' feet<br />That's the jingle bell rock" They grabbed hands and danced.<br /><br />We all took a little dance break. Molly and Keith started doing stunts in the center stage. She did a cartwheel and he caught her.<br /><br />I looked out to the crowd, they were dancing too!<br /><br />"Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock" We all formed a line and grabbed hands.<br />"Jingle bells chime" Half of the people squatted down.<br />"in jingle bell time" The other half squatted down when the first half stood up.<br />"Dancin' and prancin' in Jingle Bell Square" Jake did this weird Disco move, so we all did Disco moves.<br />"In the frosty air" We all chorused while doing the '70's justice.<br /><br />"What a bright time, it's the right time" Casey went back to the center.<br />"To rock the night away" She pointed up, then down, like she was at a Disco.<br />"Jingle bell time is a swell time.<br />To go gliding' in a one-horse sleigh" She went back, then slid up to the front of the stage.<br /><br />"Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet" Ryan went behind Casey, and picked her up.<br />"Jingle around the clock" He spun her while singing.<br />"Mix and a-mingle in the jingling' feet" He set her down, and they moved their feet in and outwards. <br />"That's the jingle bell<br />That's the jingle bell" They sang.<br />"That's the jingle bell rock!" We all sang and posed.<br /><br />The crowd erupted in cheers. I hugged Casey, "You were amazing! Same to you Ryan!" I smiled. They thanked me. The curtains closed and Mrs. Hodge went back to the microphone.<br />"Okay! The next song is for all of you little rockers out there." She did the 'rock n roll' sign with her hands, and walked back. <br /><br />We all got into a new positon.<br /><br />They put up white stairs while Mrs. Hodge was introducing us. We all were sitting on them.<br /><br />Molly, Jake, Elizabeth, and Keith were sitting on the bottom step.<br />Chrissa, Jessica, Matt, and Charity were sitting on the second to bottom step.<br />Casey, Ryan, Myself, and Nathan were sitting on the middle step.<br />Tyler, Callie, and Peter were sitting on the top step, well Callie was standing.<br /><br />The intro to Brenda Lee's "Rocking Around The Christmas Tree" played and everyone except Callie harmonized.<br /><br />"Rocking' around the Christmas tree." Callie sang, taking one step down the stairs.<br />"At the Christmas Party hop." She spun around in time with the guitar.<br />"Mistletoe hung were you can see.<br />Every couple tries to stop." She walked down in tune with the guitar.<br /><br />"Rocking' Around the Christmas tree. <br />Let the Christmas spirit ring" <br />She got to the center stage and spun on her heels.<br /><br />"Later we'll have some pumpkin pie and well do some caroling" She acted like she was smelling Pumpkin Pie and then acted like a caroler.<br /><br />She slid and made jazz hands then sang;<br />"You will get a sentimental feeling when you hear;<br />Voices singing lets be jolly" Everyone stood up, posed, and sang;<br /><br />"deck the halls with boughs of holly!"<br /><br />"Rocking around the Christmas tree, have a happy holiday" Callie gave the crowd a thumbs up.<br />"Everyone dancing merrily in the new old-fashioned way" She sang then we all erupted into dance moves while Trevor, a kid from the band, played the Saxophone solo.<br /><br />The boys picked the girls up, twisted them, put them down. All while Callie was doing either cartwheels or high-fiving everyone in the front row. Then Callie started dancing like Michael Jackson out of random, I looked at Marisol, who was laughing hysterically.<br /><br />"You will get a sentimental feeling when you hear" Callie sang and put her hand by her ear.<br />"Voices singing lets be jolly" She made her way back to the stairs and turned around to sing with us;<br />"deck the halls with boughs of holly!"<br /><br />"Rocking around the Christmas tree, have a happy holiday" Callie sang on the bottom step by Jake and Elizabeth.<br />"Everyone dancing merrily in the" She sang.<br />"New." She went up one step.<br />"Old." She went up the next.<br />"Fashioned." She went up the next.<br />"Way!!!" She held the note while everyone freestyle danced, then sat down and she posed.<br /><br />The crowd, once again, erupted in cheers.<br /><br />Mrs. Hodge signaled for the curtains to be closed.<br />"Good job, Miss Callie! Okay well for our last song of the night... Well it's a surprise to me too! I hope you enjoy it!" Mrs. Hodge smiled, then jetted back to the side of the stage.<br /><br />I looked around at everyone in the Chorus. They were all having a great time. I wanted something to celebrate that. I needed to look in my head. I turned to Charity.<br />"What's your favorite Christmas song?" I asked her.<br />"Oh me? Uh. Hmm. Hard decision. There's so many awesome ones!" She smiled.<br />"Can you pick one?" I asked.<br />"I will have my iPod pick for me." She smiled and pulled her blue iPod nano out of her hat. She shuffled it.<br />"Hey, you know the Beatles?" She asked.<br />Callie heard and scoffed.<br />"Yeah, I mean. I'm named after one of their songs." I smiled.<br />"Well, my iPod says to sing Paul McCartney's 'Wonderful Christmastime'" She smiled then went to tell the band.<br /><br />I tried to bust the nerves. Nathan walked up to me.<br />"Prudence. Stop fretting, you're going to be amazing. Like always." He kissed my cheek and went into his position. Everyone seemed to know which song I was singing because Chrissa, being the Paul Obsessed girl she is, yelled "OHMYGOD YAY!"<br /><br />Cindie played the intro on her keyboard as the curtains opened.<br />We all sat on this big box and moved our heads all the same way and were in time wit the keyboard.<br /><br />I sat in the middle, next to Nathan and Chrissa, and began singing.<br />"The mood is right.<br />The spirit's up." I pointed up.<br /><br />"We're here tonight, and that's enough." I nodded and sang.<br /><br />"Simply having a wonderful Christmastime<br />Simply having a wonderful Christmastime" We all chorused.<br /><br />"The party's on" Peter sang.<br />"The feel ins here" Jessica sang.<br />"That only comes" Elizabeth sang.<br />"This time of year" Jake sang.<br /><br />"Simply having a wonderful Christmastime" I sang and walked in a jazz square.<br />"Simply having a wonderful Christmastime" We all sang and Nathan grabbed my hand and spun me around.<br /><br />"The choir of children sing their song" I sang and motioned to a group of kids.<br /><br />Nathan, Callie, Chrissa, Jake, Matt, Tyler, and Elizabeth all got in a line and sang;<br />"Ding dong, ding dong<br />Ding dong, ding" <br />"O-o-o-o-oh!" They sang higher and higher.<br />"Ohhhhhhh" They sang again higher and higher.<br />"Do do do do do do do" They sang.<br /><br />Then was a small solo, which Callie and Chrissa went to center stage and shimmied. <br /><br />"We're Simply having a wonderful Christmastime<br />Simply having a wonderful Christmastime." We all harmonized.<br /><br />"The word is out" I sang in a whisper.<br />"About the town" Nathan sang.<br />"So lift a glass." Nathan sang, and picked me up and raised me.<br />"Ahhh don't look down" I sang in the air.<br /><br />"Simply having a wonderful Christmastime<br />Simply having a wonderful Christmastime" We all got into a cluster and sang.<br /><br />"The choir of children sing their song" Matt sang, taking center stage.<br />"They've practiced all year long" Chrissa nodded, standing by him.<br /><br />Me, Charity, Peter, Jessica, Casey and Ryan all took the harmonizing parts.<br />"Ding dong, ding dong<br />Ding dong, ding dong<br />Ding dong, ding dong<br />Ding dong, ding dong<br />Ding dong, ding dong<br />Dong, Dong"<br /><br /><br />"The party's on" Jake sang to Elizabeth, taking her hand.<br />"The spirits up" Elizabeth sang, pointing up.<br />"We're here tonight" Jake sang, and moon walked past Elizabeth, causing her to chuckle.<br />"And that's enough" They harmonized.<br />"Ooooh!" Elizabeth sang.<br /><br />"Simply having a wonderful Christmastime<br />We're Simply having a wonderful Christmastime" They sang and we joined in.<br /><br />Another solo caused Jessica to pull Peter out into center stage and they began to dance around. Peter was sticking his stomach out, trying to be Santa. Which made Jessica act like Mrs. Claus.<br /><br />"The Mood is right." I sang. <br />"The spirit's up." The rest of the chorus sang.<br />"We're here tonight" Elizabeth sang, waltzing next to me.<br />"OH! And that's enough." We harmonized.<br /><br />"Simply having a wonderful Christmastime<br />Simply having a wonderful Christmastime<br />Simply having a wonderful Christmastime<br />Simply having a wonderful Christmastime" Everyone came around in a circle and started clapping and singing.<br /><br />"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh" We all sang getting lower and lower in both range and we were squatting lower and lower.<br /><br />"Christmastime!" I stood up and sang the best I could.<br /><br />The song ended, and everyone started clapping really loudly.<br />We all grabbed hands and bowed.<br /><br />I didn't know if I would be able to go a whole 2 weeks without my Chorus buddies. I mean, sure I'd be with my family, but I'd want to be with my friends too!<br /><br />Mrs. Hodge came out and said "HAPPY HOLIDAYS!" We all repeated it, and went to the dance.<br /><br />Nathan grabbed my hand.<br />"When am I going to give you your Christmas present?" He asked.<br />"Next Thursday." I smiled. He smiled and said "Okay" Then kissed my cheek and pulled back into the life of the dance.<br /><br />After the dance. Mrs. Hodge called us all back into the school.<br />"You were all amazing! The best! I'm so very proud of you! I will miss you all dearly over the break. So get a BUNCH of rest and relax! I will see you all in January!" She smiled then we all left. <br /><br />Tomorrow is a half day, and Mrs. Hodge can't call a Chorus meeting on a half day, so we all waved. <br /><br />"MERRY CHRISTMAS, MRS. HODGE! WE LOVE YOU!" We all yelled. Mrs. Hodge looked like she was about to cry. I waved and ran back and hugged her. <br />"Have a Merry Christmas" I smiled then walked to the rest of my sisters, and my newest sister, Charity.<br /><br />"So how do you like AGPPA?" I asked.<br />"If THAT'S what every dance is like, then I LOVE IT" She smiled, then we ran home.<br /><br />**Prudence..**Prudencehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04023044412457194359noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2829017736881444039.post-77352172233372320242010-12-08T15:03:00.000-08:002021-11-13T14:06:14.160-08:00Love Is All You Need."YAY! YOU GOT BACK WITH HIM!" I yelled happily.<br /><br />Yesterday was The Beatles assignment for Chorus, and Jake and Elizabeth got back together!<br /><br /><br />Iknewitallalong.<br /><br /><br />Elizabeth smiled and giggled like a little kid. Jake smiled and chuckled a bit.<br /><br />Jake had just apologized to Lizzie by singing The Beatles' version of "Dizzy Miss Lizzy," which OUR Lizzie L O V E D!<br /><br />"Fantastic job, Jake! Your an AMAZING singer!" Mrs. Hodge complimented. Jake smiled "Thanks, Mrs. H." <br /><br />"Okay next up is......" Mrs. Hodge trailed off, looking for someone to sing.<br />"PRUDENCE!" I jumped up in shock.<br /><br />ME?<br />I CAN'T GO!<br /><br />"Can someone go before me?" I asked sincerely.<br />"Sure, dear. How about....... Callie!" Mrs. Hodge proposed.<br /><br />Callie ran up to the stage before anyone could protest.<br />She scanned the crowd, flashed me a smile, waved to Molly,<br />then began to belt out the words to "I Don't Want To Spoil The Party" by her boys, The Beatles.<br /><br />"I don't want to spoil the party, so I'll go.<br />I would hate my disappointment to show." She made a gesture that said 'Harmonize!'<br />I agreed.<br /><br />"There's Nothing for me here, so I will disappear!" Callie's melodious voice sang while Casey and I sang 'Ooooh, ooooh.'<br /><br />"If he turns up while I'm gone please let me know." Callie said, looking for Peter. Just then, like clockwork, Peter showed up.<br /><br />"I've had a drink or two and I don't care,<br />There's no fun in what I do if he's not there,<br />I wonder what went wrong I've waited far too long,<br />I think I'll take a walk and look for him." Callie said as she spun around, but she didn't notice it.<br /><br />"Though tonight he's made me sad,<br />I still love him," Callie held the note on 'I still love him.' <br /><br />"If I find him I'll be glad,<br />I still love him." She did the same thing again, only this time, she unknowingly pointed to Peter. <br /><br />"I don't want to spoil the party so I'll go,<br />I would hate my disappointment to show" Callie realized what she did.<br />Casey and I harmonized once again, but we were too fixed on what was going on to know if we were on pitch or anything.<br /><br />"There's nothing for me here so I will disappear,<br />If he turns up while I'm gone please let me know." Callie sang awkwardly, never loosing the pitch though.<br /><br />Then Ben busted out into the guitar solo. Molly and Casey hopped on stage to dance around Callie, who was nervously staring at Peter, who was giving her a death glare.<br /><br />"Come on, Cals! Relax!" Molly said as she spun Callie around and Callie spun to center stage.<br /><br />"Though tonight he's made me sad,<br />I still love him" Molly and Callie sang.<br /><br />"If I find him I'll be glad,<br />I still love him." Callie sang amazingly.<br /><br />"Though I've had a drink or two and I don't care,<br />There's no fun in what I do if he's not there,<br />I wonder what went wrong <br />I've waited far too long," Callie sang with tears in her normally happy blue eyes.<br /><br />"I think I'll take a walk and look for him." Callie sighed.<br /><br />Molly and Casey danced around and posed, while Callie ran off stage and out of the auditorium.<br /><br />Peter looked at the door, obviously deciding whether or not to run after her.<br />"RUN AFTER HER, YOU IDIOT!" Ryan shouted.<br /><br />Peter did as he was told, busting out the doors while shouting "CALLIE!"<br /><br />"Someone should go after them." Mrs. Hodge sighed. <br />"I will" I offered then ran after them.<br /><br />I bolted down each and every hallway in the school.<br /><br />No Callie.<br />Not. One. Little. Sign.<br /><br />I let out a long sigh, then walked into the band room. I heard some soft guitar strumming.<br /><br />"Callie?" I asked.<br />"Go away." The voice muttered.<br />"Please Callie, it's me Prudence." I said.<br />"Pru, leave. It's obvious I'm unlovable." Callie sighed.<br />"Don't say that! Everyone loves you!" I smiled.<br />"Not Peter." Callie said.<br />"Forget Peter, he's a jerk! A stupid one too." I tried.<br />"But he's my best friend." She softly said.<br />"If he was you friend, he would have told you a better way than giving you the death stare." I advised.<br />Callie seemed to know I was right, because she placed the guitar down. <br />"I knew it, I spoiled the party for everyone."<br />"NO! Callie you were amazing, and you don't spoil the party, you START the party!" I corrected.<br />"Didn't you already say that to me?" Callie asked with a smile on her face.<br />"I forgot, but it's the truth." I said, wagging my finger in her direction.<br /><br />"Why does this always happen to me?" She asked after a few seconds of silence.<br />"What?" I asked.<br />"How come, whenever word gets out that I like a guy, does he always avoid me? Is there something wrong with me?" Callie looked down.<br />"No, there is nothing wrong with you." I comforted, pulling her into a hug.<br />She started crying. <br />"If there wasn't anything wrong with me, Peter would like me more than a friend." Callie sobbed.<br />I patted her back, trying to calm her down.<br /><br />That's when I remembered.<br />"OH MY GOD!" I yelled, breaking the hug.<br />Callie sniffed "What?" <br />"We have to get back!" I simply said then pulled her back to the auditorium.<br /><br />Just as we busted through the doors, Ryan had finished singing "Do You Want To Know a Secret." By The Beatles, I was awestruck; <br /><br />He sang it for Casey! How sweet! Casey and Ryan had run into each other on Tuesday and Ryan kinda blurted out "I like you more than a friend." Ryan must have decided that the Chorus should know.<br /><br />I smiled, Callie looked disgusted.<br /><br />Step two in heartbreak; after crying, think love is disgusting.<br /><br />"Callie." I said sternly, which caused her features to brighten up a bit.<br /><br />After Ryan finished, he asked Casey to be his girlfriend which, of course, she agreed to!<br /><br />Then Casey went up and sang "Got To Get You Into My Life" to show Ryan that the feelings were mutual.<br /><br />After Casey, Jessica strode on stage and walked up to the mic<br />"Well, I was gone all last week and now it seems like people are bored with me." She sighed. "I just don't want you guys to in a sense 'pass me by'" She entered air quoted around "Pass Me By," then she appropriately sang "Don't Pass Me By."<br /><br />Keith then walked on stage, grabbed a guitar and sat on a bench and said "Well, over Thanksgiving Break, my dad was notified that he had to go back into battle and was supposed to be sent back to Iraq as soon as possible." Keith sighed, his dad is in the Military and wasn't in battle for 5 years, but now he's back there. "I just miss him and I hate having him be a million miles away." He sighed, then started singing "Across The Universe." I took a quick look at Molly and she looked on the verge of tears. <br /><br />After Keith went up, Molly volunteered to sing. <br />"Stay." She ordered Keith, and Keith obeyed.<br />"I'm really sorry about your dad." Molly sighed.<br />"It's okay Mc- Molly. It's not your fault." Keith reassured.<br />"I wish there was a way you could see him." Molly sighed.<br />"Well, don't worry, he's coming back for Christmas." Keith smiled which caused Molly to smile as well.<br />"I want to sing you something to make you feel a bit better, 'cause even though we're constantly at each other's throats, I still care about you. I will always be here for you Keith, but I am just wondering, will you?" Molly asked then the introduction to The Beatles' "When I'm Sixty-Four" played.<br /><br />"When I get older, loosing my hair, many years from now." Molly sang.<br />"Will you still be sending me a Valentine, Birthday Greetings, Bottle of Wine?" Molly spun around Keith, who had a smirk plastered on his face.<br />"If I'd been out 'til quarter to three, <br />would you lock the door?" Molly imitated locking a door.<br />"Will you still need me?" She stood in front of Keith and bent to one side.<br />"Will you still feed me?" She bent to the opposite side.<br />"When I'm Sixty-Four?" Molly smirked then Keith spun her around.<br /><br />After Molly sang, then Peter walked up. <br />I was giving him the same stare he had given Callie.<br />Nathan walked up to me "Whoa Peach, you win at giving death stares." He joked.<br />I smiled and turned to him "Hush up, Nathan." <br />He grabbed his heart "My own girlfriend, telling me to 'hush up?' Oh the horror!" <br />I smiled "You know I'm only kidding, Nate." I stretched up and kissed his cheek.<br />"I l-" He started, but got cut off by Peter announcing.<br /><br />"I am going to sing a song that's about not hurting someone that you care about." He stated.<br />"TOO LATE!" Elizabeth called out. <br />"Yeah!" Molly agreed.<br />"It's just, I know she's been hurt a lot. Heck, I've hurt her sometimes. Not physically but still, and I just want to sing this song to apologize to her and maybe start a relationship with her." His eyes were traveling across the room.<br /><br />I smirked, he must've done that on purpose. <br />It wasn't right, but it made the song seem more appropriate.<br /><br />"Oh Darling!" He sang out.<br />"Please believe me!<br />I'll never do you no harm." He had a powerful voice.<br />"Believe me when I tell you, I'll never do you no harm." He nodded at Jessica, who smiled back.<br /><br />WHOA WHOA WHOA WHOA!<br /><br />After that, I blocked out his singing, I couldn't get over how mad I was. <br /><br />After his performance, he went down to Jessica and he asked her out.<br />She agreed and they hugged. I was about to go ape crazy.<br /><br />Which, I did.<br /><br />"YOU!" I yelled, running at Peter. I jumped on him and started slapping him mercilessly.<br /><br />"PRUDENCE!" Nathan yelled, and picked me off of Peter. I was laying horizontally in Nathan's arms with my arms and legs flailing.<br /><br />"YOU LITTLE JERK FACE! AND TO THINK I HELPED YOU PICK OUT YOUR SONG! YOU NEED TO GET HIT BY A BUS!" I yelled out at the top of my lungs.<br />"Wait, what?" Callie asked.<br />"YOU HELPED HIM?" Her voice became a yell.<br />"I thought he was going to sing it to YOU!" I yelled.<br />"Why would I sing it to her?" Peter asked.<br />"BECAUSE I THOUGHT YOU LIKED HER!" I yelled.<br />"Like her? Callie? No." Peter simply said, he had his arm draped around Jessica. <br /><br />"Peter Frasier, you are a jerk. No not a jerk, you are a piece of crap. A piece of crap that has been stepped on, eaten, spit back out, eaten again, crapped out, then shot." Callie simply said, then kicked him in the leg.<br /><br />"OW!" Peter limped.<br />Jessica and Peter went over to the other end of the auditorium.<br /><br />"Um, how about Prudence goes next?" Mrs. Hodge tried to calm us all down.<br />"Okay." I sighed, then nodded for Nathan to put me down.<br /><br />As soon as I got up on stage, I spoke into the mic.<br />"This song is for Callie. Cals, you've been broken a lot lately, but don't worry. You'll take them broken wings and learn to fly." I winked then sang;<br /><br />"Blackbird singing in the dead of night<br />Take these broken wings and learn to fly<br />All your life<br />You were only waiting for this moment to arise" I played guitar and sang.<br /><br />"Blackbird singing in the dead of night<br />Take these sunken eyes and learn to see<br />all your life<br />you were only waiting for this moment to be free" I sang to Callie.<br /><br />"Blackbird fly, Blackbird fly<br />Into the light of the dark black night." <br />Nathan and I harmonized, then I played the guitar a little.<br /><br />"Blackbird fly, Blackbird fly<br />Into the light of the dark black night." Nathan and I chorused again.<br /><br />Nathan took the guitar and played the solo amazingly, I looked at Callie and she looked like she was on the verge of tears.<br /><br />"Blackbird singing in the dead of night<br />Take these broken wings and learn to fly<br />All your life<br />You were only waiting for this moment to arise,<br />You were only waiting for this moment to arise,<br />You were only waiting for this moment to arise" I smiled to her.<br /><br />Everyone (besides Jessica and Peter) jumped up and clapped. <br />"WOOT!" They all screamed. <br />Nathan walked over to me and kissed the top of my head "I'm proud of you Peach." Callie ran up and hugged me "Thank you! That is the nicest thing anyone has ever sang to me." <br />"No problem Callie, you've been here so many times for me. It had to be done." I smiled.<br /><br />Mrs. Hodge clapped "That was beautiful, Prudence! Nathan, would you like to go next?" She asked.<br />"Yes, miss." He smiled then walked up to the front of the stage.<br /><br />"This song is for Prudence. I wanted to tell you this earlier, but I thought right now would be the best place." He smiled then started singing;<br /><br />"I give her all my love<br />That's all I do<br />And if you saw my love<br />You'd love her too<br />I love her" <br />I was about to fall over. <br /><br />"She gives me everything<br />And tenderly<br />The kiss my lover brings<br />She brings to me<br />And I love her" <br />I giggled insanely, Callie gave me a knowing smile.<br /><br />"A love like ours<br />Could never die<br />As long as I<br />Have you near me" <br />He made his way by me and grabbed my hand.<br /><br />"Bright are the stars that shine<br />Dark is the sky<br />I know this love of mine<br />Will never die<br />And I love her" He smiled then kissed my forehead. <br /><br />H-H-H-H-HE LOVES ME!<br />AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH<br /><br /><br />.<br />.<br /><br />okay, I'm back. That was me fainting.<br /><br />Then came the guitar solo, which Cindie played PERFECTLY. Callie looked at her best friend proudly.<br /><br />"Bright are the stars that shine<br />Dark is the sky<br />I know this love of mine<br />Will never die<br />And I love her" Nathan sang, sweetly.<br /><br />"I love you, Prudence." He whispered, causing me to get the chills.<br />"I love you too, Nathan." I beamed and he kissed me.<br /><br />A REAL KISS.<br />I insanely giggled, once again.<br /><br />"Well now that every one's happy, it's time for me to sing a song." Tyler said, waltzing up to the stage.<br />"Callie, get up here." He ordered.<br />"Why?"<br />"Because, you need to sing too." He explained.<br />"Oh okay." Callie smiled then walked over to Tyler.<br />"I got the idea to sing this song by most of today's events." Tyler sighed. I mentally noted that he looked too much like a blond George Harrison.<br /><br />Spooky.<br /><br />"Well, Monroe here and I have a song to sing. It goes something like this." He smiled then nodded to Cindie to start up the band. <br /><br />A folk guitar intro played. <br />"I'm looking through you." Tyler sang to Jessica<br />"Where did you go?" Callie finished to Peter<br />"I thought I knew you." Callie sang again.<br />"What did I know?" Tyler asked while singing.<br />"I'm Looking Through You." They harmonized.<br />"YOU'RE NOT THE SAME!" They raised their voices.<br />Then they danced.<br /><br />After they sang, Mrs. Hodge complimented them and all of us.<br />"Well, your next song assignment is...........<br />Love songs! You have until next Wednesday!" She smiled then sent us all out.<br /><br />L o v e <br />Love?<br />love?<br />LOVE!<br /><br />**Prudence..**<br /><br /><br />[ooh, By the way.

WE LOVE & MISS YOU!]Prudencehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04023044412457194359noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2829017736881444039.post-9797523555096777902010-12-05T09:40:00.000-08:002021-11-13T14:06:15.895-08:00Broken"PRUDENCE! CALLIE! MOLLY!" Marisol called out.<br /><br />'Ugh.' I muttered in my mind.<br /><br />"WHAT?" Molly replied.<br /><br />"GO TO AGPPA! MRS. HODGE CALLED AND IS HAVING A CHORUS MEETING." Marisol called up and went back into the kitchen.<br /><br />"Why would Mrs. Hodge call a Chorus meeting on a Sunday?" I asked, then decided to get dressed.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />"CALLIE!" I called, she had her door shut.<br />"Ringo, is that you?" Callie was <em>obviously</em> asleep.<br /><br />I bust through the door. <br /><br />"CALLIE!" I yelled.<br />She rolled over and fell out of bed.<br />"AMEN!" She yelled immediately as she hit the ground.<br />"Callie, we're not in Church." I rolled my eyes.<br />"Then why did you wake me up?" She muttered.<br />"Because, Mrs. Hodge called a Chorus meeting." I explained.<br />"Hodge." Callie simply said then got up and went to get dressed.<br /><br />Then, I went to the bathroom to brush my teeth, where I was joined by Molly.<br />"Morning, Pru." She greeted.<br />"Good morning, Molly." I returned the favor.<br />"Hey, uh, can I ask you something?" Molly said after a few moments of silence.<br />I finished brushing my teeth then replied "Sure"<br />"Well, what would you do if you liked a guy but he hated you." Molly looked around.<br />"Keith?"<br />"Y-NO!" Molly stuttered.<br />I looked at her knowingly, "Molls."<br />"Fine! I like him, but don't tell ANYONE. He would probably rather DIE than like me back." Molly sighed.<br />"You never know Molly. He might just grow old with you." I joked then walked out of the bathroom.<br /><br />At Chorus Practice, everyone looked half asleep.<br />"Hey, Pru." Elizabeth sleepily greeted.<br />"Hey, Lizzie." I waved.<br />"Morning, Peach." Nathan kissed the top of my head. <br />I looked up at him, he looked exhausted.<br />I peered over at Callie, but she had her head on Peter's shoulder and she was on the verge of falling asleep. Peter looked like he didn't mind.<br /><br />I chuckled. <br /><br />"GOOD MORNING!" Mrs. Hodge's cheeriness annoyed me.<br />Everyone muttered a greeting.<br />"Well, the reason I called you all here is to know what song you are going to sing." She smiled.<br />I immediately opened my eyes. <br /><br />I STILL DIDN'T HAVE A SONG!<br /><br />"We'll go down the line. You will tell me which album you had, then The Beatles song that you chose." Mrs. Hodge smiled.<br />Everyone nodded.<br />"First up is Ryan." She smiled.<br /><br />"I got Please Please Me, their first album. The song I chose is 'Do You Want To Know A Secret.'" He explained.<br />"Oh I LOVE that song!" Casey beamed.<br /><br />That's not the ONLY thing that she loves.<br /><br />"Awesome choice! Casey?" Mrs. Hodge asked.<br />"I got Revolver and I chose 'Got To Get You Into My Life'" She beamed.<br />"I love that song." Ryan smiled at her. <br /><br />"Lovely! Molly?" Mrs. Hodge asked.<br />"I got Sgt. Pepper's and I chose 'When I'm Sixty Four.'" Molly explained.<br />"You look like you are now." Keith said.<br />"At least I don't act like I'm 3 like SOME PEOPLE." Molly shot back.<br /><br />"Calm down, but great choice! Tyler?"<br />"I got the awesome-ness that is Rubber Soul and I picked 'I'm Looking Through You'" Tyler explained.<br />"Who are you looking through?" Jessica asked.<br />"You." Tyler said then turned back to face Mrs. Hodge.<br /><br />"I love that song! Jessica?" <br />"I got the Second half of The White Album, and I picked 'Don't Pass Me By'" Jessica smiled.<br />"I wish I can." Tyler muttered.<br />"YOU KNOW WHAT?!" Jessica asked, standing up.<br /><br />"Okay, okay. Calm down, Jessica." Mrs. Hodge advised.<br />Jessica sat down.<br />"Keith?" Mrs. Hodge smiled.<br />"I got Let It Be, their last album." Keith explained.<br />"Abbey Road was their true last album." Molly interjected.<br />"Abbey Road was released before Let It Be." Keith fought back.<br />"Abbey Road was recorded after Let It Be." Molly said.<br /><br />"OKAY! WE GET IT!" Callie yelled, then rested her head on Peter's shoulder once again.<br />"Well, I got Let It Be and I picked 'Across The Universe.'" Keith finished.<br /><br />"Nice choice! Nathan?" Mrs. Hodge asked.<br />"I got A Hard Day's Night." Nathan smiled down on me, he knew I loved that album.<br />I smiled.<br />"And I picked the song 'And I Love Her.'" He finished.<br />My cheeks burned. <br /><br />Did he just imply that he l-l-l-l-loved me?<br /><br />"I love that song, it's so sweet! Pru?" Mrs. Hodge asked.<br />"I had the luck of picking the first side of The White Album and I picked..." I trailed off.<br />"One second." I said then ran to my purse, where I pulled out my iTouch.<br /><br />"Shuffle, Shuffle, Shuffle." I chanted.<br />I shuffled it.<br /><br />"Blackbird singing in the dead of night, take these broken wings and learn to fly." I heard.<br /><br />"'Blackbird'! I choose 'Blackbird!'" I beamed.<br /><br />It was so perfect for me, I have been broken a lot lately, but it would be best for me if I fixed up those brusies and move on.<br /><br />"Amazing song! Lovely choice! Elizabeth?" Mrs. Hodge commented.<br />"I got Magical Mystery Tour, and I picked the song 'All You Need Is Love'" She smiled at Jake, who returned the gesture.<br /><br />"Love it! Jake?" Mrs. Hodge questioned.<br />"I got the album Help! Yes, there is an exclamation point after it." He joked.<br />Everyone either chuckled or giggled, we were all too tired to laugh.<br />"Well anyways, I got Help and I chose 'Dizzy Miss Lizzy'" He smiled.<br /><br />Elizabeth looked shocked, the look on her face said "Is he singing a song for me?" <br />Yes, Liz, he is.<br /><br />"Aw, how nice! Callie?" Mrs. Hodge beamed.<br />"I got Beatles For Sale and I chose 'I Don't Want To Spoil The Party.'" Callie lazily said.<br />Peter looked at her "Callie, you don't spoil the party. You <em>are</em> the party." <br />Callie smiled "Hush. Let me sleep." Callie dazed off once more.<br /><br />"Nice song! Peter?" Mrs. Hodge asked Peter.<br />We had picked a song yesterday while Callie was getting ready. I think it fit his situation to a 'T.'<br />"I got Abbey Road and I picked 'Oh! Darling'" Peter explained.<br />Callie mindlessly giggled.<br />"Good luck singing that one!" Mrs. Hodge joked.<br />"Thanks, I'll need it." Peter laughed along.<br /><br />"Well, that's all I wanted to know from you all. You can go back home and sleep, but remember Tuesday is the day you perform your song for the Chorus!" Mrs. Hodge said.<br />Everyone grabbed their stuff and peeled out of there.<br /><br />"BYE MRS. HODGE! SEE YOU ON MONDAY!" I yelled then ran home to the comfort of my bed.<br /><br /><br />**Prudence..**Prudencehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04023044412457194359noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2829017736881444039.post-3626943472885026722010-12-03T17:53:00.000-08:002021-11-13T14:06:17.370-08:00Returning"Goodbye class!" Mrs. Hodge smiled and sent us on our way to find songs on Wednesday.<br /><br />I was speed-walking to the door when I was alarmed by a <br />"PRU! WAIT UP!" I turned and saw, gasp, Peter.<br /><br /><strong>P-P-P-P-Peter?!</strong><br /><br />"Peter?" I stopped dead in my tracks, <br /><br />he had come back from being sick, but you could still see a bit of flush in his face.<br /><br />"I need your help." Peter said.<br />"With?" I asked, shell shocked, he NEVER talks to me. <br />"Picking a song."<br />"What? Your like king of the Beatle People." I pointed out.<br />"True, but I NEED a song that expresses my feelings." He nodded.<br /><br /><em>You and me both, kid.</em><br /><br />"Oh! Okay, well what are your feelings?" I asked.<br />"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.<br /><br />I nodded, I was kind of excited, I mean, Callie has been hurt a lot in her lifetime.<br />Maybe, for the first time, my sister was actually having a crush that was crushing back?<br /><br /><em>Score one for Callie. </em><br /><br />"Oh okay, well I will look for a song and tell you when you come over on Saturday." I informed, Callie and Peter <strong>ALWAYS</strong> go to the mall on Saturdays, it's a ritual, if you will.<br /><br />"Thanks, Prudence. I owe you one, oh and" He pulled me close. <br />"Don't tell Callie." He whispered.<br /><br />Oh, he <strong><em>DEFINITELY</em></strong> is crazy for Callie.<br /><br />**Prudence..**Prudencehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04023044412457194359noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2829017736881444039.post-65613032032804683272010-11-29T12:52:00.000-08:002021-11-13T14:06:19.069-08:00Picking and CelebratingAfter a whole day of learning practically <em>nothing,</em> I desperately needed chorus. <br /><br />As the bell rang, I ran out of the Art Room, dropped my stuff off at my locker, and bolted to the choir room. <br /><br />As soon as I bolted in the door, I realized something.<br /><br /><em>I didn't have a song.</em><br /><br />I was too caught up with the Thanksgiving preparations to get a song! <br />And the assignment is THE BEATLES for crying out loud!<br /><br />I was probably the ONLY one who didn't have a song, so I slumped to my usual seat and expected the worst.<br /><br />After everyone piled in the room, Mrs. Hodge, in her normal smiley manner, walked to the front.<br /><br />"Hello everyone! I hope you had a great Thanksgiving." She smiled.<br />There was a few "Hey Mrs. H's" but nothing else. <br /><br />Everyone seemed so <em>solemn.</em><br /><br />I expected to hear SOMETHING from Callie, considering she's usually a bowl of sunshine, but she was sad and wearing black.<br /><br />WAIT BLACK?!<br /><br />I whispered to Callie, "Cals, why are you wearing black?"<br />She looked at me and whispered, "Because, nine years ago today, something tragic happened." And she left it at that.<br /><br />I skimmed my mind to think of why, then I had it!<br />George Harrison, the guitarist of The Beatles, died 9 years ago today, and Callie, being Callie, acted as if it was a loss of a family member.<br /><br />The Beatles, I thought in my mind, what could be a good song to sing by the-<br /><br />My mind was cut off by Mrs. Hodge asking;<br />"So everyone, what are your songs?"<br /><br />We all just looked at each other.<br />That caused me to have a huge relief, no one else had a song either!<br /><br />"No one has a song?" <br /><br />We all just shook our heads.<br />"We were all just stuck in Thanksgiving madness." Casey sighed.<br /><br />It looked as if a LOT happened to the chorus kids over Thanksgiving Break.<br /><br />Mrs. Hodge gave a knowing smile "I thought so, which is why.." She said as she grabbed her light blue tote bag.<br />"I brought Beatles albums for you all to pick out."<br /><br />Everyone looked so grateful. I knew I was!<br /><br />"Magical Mystery Tour, here I come." Callie smiled as she strode up to get her favorite Beatle album.<br /><br />"No no no Callie, you must pick through the bag without looking." Mrs. Hodge advised.<br />"Fine." Callie sighed, then put her arm into the bag and seemed to be shuffling things around.<br /><br />Finally, she pulled out a CD that said "Beatles For Sale" on it.<br />She smiled. "YES! I have a PERFECT song now." Callie then nearly skipped back to her seat. <br /><br />Casey was next, she stood up and walked to Mrs. Hodge. She then did the same as Callie, but this time pulling out a black and white CD entitled "Revolver."<br />Casey immediately beamed, "My favorite album! Thanks Mrs. Hodge." Casey then walked back and sat next to Elizabeth. <br /><br />Ryan was next and pulled out a CD that had "Please Please Me" in yellow text on it. <br />"Awesome, thanks Mrs. H." He smiled then went and sat next to Casey.<br /><br />I blurred out the rest of the picks but I remember who has what album;<br /><br />Jake got Help!<br />Elizabeth got Magical Mystery Tour<br />Nathan got A Hard Day's Night<br />Molly got Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band<br />Keith got Let it Be, <br />and Tyler got Rubber Soul. <br />["WHAT?!" Callie screamed out, Rubber Soul is her other favorite Beatle album, even though she loves them all.]<br /><br />Then it was my turn. <br />I slumped up to Mrs. Hodge and put my hand in the bag to search for a CD.<br />What I pulled out surprised me. <br />It was just a CD!<br /><br />"What the...?" I asked in shock.<br />"Oh, you get the first part of The White Album." Mrs. Hodge smiled.<br />I smiled too, I L-O-V-E the White Album! <br />I went back to my seat and beamed.<br /><br />Then Jessica went up and picked out the OTHER half of the White Album.<br />"Sweet, thanks Mrs. Hodge." Jessica smiled.<br /><br />After everyone picked their album Mrs. Hodge smiled and said;<br />"And Peter will get Abbey Road if he comes back." Everyone nodded in agreement and we all started chatting about nothing in particular when Mrs. Hodge said;<br /><br />"Does anyone have anything they'd like to sing?" <br />Callie's hand flew up.<br /><br />"Yes, Callie?" Mrs. Hodge smiled.<br />"Well, you see. Today in 2001, George Harrison of The Beatles succumbed to cancer and he was Cindie's favorite Beatle." Callie pointed out then flashed a smile at Cindie. <br />"What?" Mrs. Hodge asked.<br />"Cindie wants to sing." Callie beamed.<br /><br />Cindie was about to argue, but looked down at her all black outfit and purple flower in her hair, then looked at Callie who was wearing all black but with a purple jacket. <br />[Purple was his favorite color.]<br /><br />"Okay." Cindie sighed then walked to center stage.<br />She motioned for me to come on stage with her.<br />"Yeah Cid?" I asked.<br />"What should I sing?" She asked.<br />"Sing whatever you feel is right for this moment right now." I smiled then went back to my seat.<br />.<br />Cindie seemed to be deep in thought, then she whispered something into Ben, the other composer of the choir's ear and he nodded then told all of the band.<br /><br />A few seconds of silence passed. <br /><br />Then came an AWESOME guitar intro. The kids whooped and hollered.<br />Then the horn section came in and I knew which song she chose.<br /><br />"What Is Life." I smiled.<br /><br />[listen to this song; it's FANTASTIC!<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2fEFsb8RKT4]<br /><br />"What I feel,<br />I can't say.<br />But my love is there for you anytime of day." <br />Cindie sang then hopped down off of the stage and danced to Callie.<br /><br />"But if it's not love." Callie and Cindie harmonized.<br /><br />"That you need, Then I'll try my best to make everything succeed." Cindie went solo then danced around while singing at the top of her lungs;<br /><br />"Tell me. <br />What is my life, without your love?<br />Tell me<br />who am I, without you<br />by my side?" Callie and I jumped up on the piano and were dancing around. <br /><br />"What I know, <br />I can do.<br />If I give my love now to everyone like you." Cindie sang and as the horns went up, Callie and I put our hands up higher and higher.<br /><br />"But if it's not love, <br />that you need. <br />Then I'll try my best to make everything succeed." <br />Cindie beamed then joined Callie and I to sing;<br /><br />"Tell me what is my life<br />without your love." Cindie sang then pulled Molly to join our dancing.<br /><br />"Tell me who, am I.<br />Without you," Cindie sang, then pulled Elizabeth up as well.<br /><br />Callie and I added the "Oooh-oooh's"<br /><br />"by my side." Cindie spun around and sang.<br /><br />Cindie pointed for me to jump off the piano and sing.<br />Which I gladly did.<br /><br />"Tell me what is my life, <br />without you love." I made a heart out of my hands and winked at Nathan.<br /><br />Elizabeth came up behind me and sang;<br />"Tell me who am I,<br />without you." She smiled at Jake.<br /><br />"By my side." Callie and I chorused.<br /><br />Then we all danced around a bit then stopped abruptly.<br /><br />Callie slid down the middle of the stage, playing the same guitar riff that started the song.<br /><br />Molly came out behind her and did a cartwheel across the stage, which caused us all to dance again. Then Molly ran to get the mic from Elizabeth.<br /><br />"What I feel" Molly swayed from side to side.<br />"I can't say!" Everyone sang out, and I mean everyone. Even Mrs. Hodge!<br /><br />"But my love is there for you anytime of day." Molly smiled, then tossed the mic back to Cindie who was dancing on the piano with Callie.<br /><br />"But if it's not love<br />that you need, <br />then I'll try my best <br />to make everything succeed." Cindie sang then we all got ready to sing the chorus.<br /><br />Molly ran to her bag and pulled out a picture of George, which Cindie ran to and pretty much sang too.<br /><br />"Tell me what is my life, <br />without your songs.<br />Tell me who am I, <br />without you, <br />to help spread my wings and fly." Cindie changed the words up.<br /><br />I felt so bad, I forgot all about today. Cindie's favorite man in the whole world died today, and I forgot. <br /><br />I could have at least remembered to hug her. <br /><br />Cindie never had a dad, her dad left her mom when Cindie was just a baby. So the only person she could look up to, oddly enough, was George. <br /><br />Stupid me forgot! I feel so bad!<br /><br />I ran up to her and sang with her. <br />"Oh Tell me <br />what is my life,<br />without your love" <br />She then smiled to me<br />"Tell me who am I<br />without you,<br />by my side." We locked arms.<br /><br />Then we all danced around, Cindie spun me and I laughed insanely. Callie rocked out on guitar, Molly and Elizabeth were doing random dance moves. <br /><br />Everything seemed so.. <em>Happy.</em><br /><br />After the song, Callie came up and sighed.<br />"George Harrison, <br />February 25th 1943 to November 29th 2001."<br /><br />Then we all chorused.<br />"REST IN PEACE!" As if he could hear us,<br /><br /><br /><br />and you know what?<br /><br /><br /><br />I think he did.<br /><br />**Prudence..**Prudencehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04023044412457194359noreply@blogger.com1
