Picking and Celebrating

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

Second Chances

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

Costume Craziness

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

Not A Second Time

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

Smacker

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

I Knew It

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

Duets and Don't's

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