The Battle Begins Part 4

Friday, the day we were having the selection. Well I was afraid when we went to the Paris Hall to have a selection. We've been practicing for 14 times, just like I said. Me too. I've been practicing with Trixie for my solo. That was the first time I sang in front of everyone. I know I have no good voice. You can hear it when I talk to you. Yeah, how 'cute' my voice is. 

I've already wore my costume for the selection. Simple, just black trousers and tuxedo, a pair of flat shoes, then tie. Yeah my mom recommended me to wore tie, and I didn't know the reason. 

"Hey, Mr. Formal," Said Trixie.

"Hey,"

"So, ready?" 

"I'm ready, I guess,"

"Look, Will," Said her. "This is your first time you'll sing in front of everyone. Don't be afraid. Good luck,"

I smiled. "Thanks," 

So, at the selection, Trixie was being a pianist. She learnt Haven't Met You Yet song by piano. 

Then, five minutes later, I got a text message from the anonymous. again.

"Good luck, kiddo. Give us your best shot! Remember, a few days after the selection, you have to go to in front of 9-10D. We wanna tell you something. Thanks and good luck."

I didn't reply the message, even that they or he or she said 'good luck', 'cause I'm rarely reply a text message from the anonymous. You know, too lazy.

"Hey, let's go to the Paris Hall," Trixie took me to the bus. 

There was only one sentence that I could say: Wish Me Luck. 

- - - - - - - - - -

Paris Hall.

The Paris Hall was full of all participants who joined the selection. I tried to remember the lyrics, 'cause I was not quite remember.

The others were having their own rehearsal. I was sat on the chair and thinking that how could Montreal nailed to the finale. Well actually it doesn't matter if we failed to the finale, but I didn't want Montreal will be disappointed by me, cause I'm the leader.

To make my feeling better, I signed in to my twitter account, then I found so many mentions in my account. Some of them are saying "Good luck", maybe they were knew that my school were having a selection. 

Of course I can't reply all of them, then I was type this tweet:

"Hi there! Thanks for supporting my school. Hope Montreal will be nailed to the finale and also the grand finale! Wish us luck :)"

Mrs. Alice came to me.
"Hey, Will," Said her.
"Hi," Greet me. "Can I help you, something?"
"I just want to tell you that Montreal got 76th order,"
76th order?! Wow, so long.
"Okay, thanks for the information," Said me. "But how about now?"
"Already the 50th order, I guess,"
SO LONG!

Waiting. Waiting. Waiting.
"Will, what time is it?" Asked Trixie. She looked tired. I thought she was so tired because she trained the dancers, maybe.
"Still 3.00 PM," Answered me.
"What?" Exclaimed her. "We've been here for 3 hours?"
"Yes,"
"I'm tired," She sat next to me.
"Me too," Said me. "We got 76th order. Now it's the 67th order,"
"10 participants left, then we'll enter the theatre," Said Trixie.
"Yeah,"  

After 10 participants were in, We entered the theatre. I was so nervous, cause I never sing in front of everyone. 

"Morning, everyone," Greet me. "We are from Montreal and we are going to perfom our musical drama,"

I gave a code to Alex. 

Music has already played. That was the sign that I have to sing.

Finished singing, the jury- I mean, Mr. Benny, applause us.

"Very amazing!" Said him. "If I may know it, why do you choose Haven't Met You Yet song?

Umm...

"Cause we thought that song was very awesome for the selection and the song was nice," Answered Trixie. 

"Well then," Mr. Benny wrote something on the paper. "You're done right now. We'll announce at 3.00 PM,"

Hell, 3.00 PM? 

We went out from the the theatre. 

"Hope we get in to the finale," Said Georgie.

"Hope so," Said me. 

While we were waiting, Trixie and I went to the cafe near the Paris Hall. You know, having lunch.
"Will," Called Trixie.
"Ya?"
"Do you think we can get in?"
"I don't know," Said me. "If we're not, it's okay. The important thing is that we've performed our best,"
"You're right, Will," Said Trixie. "But I hope we can get in. I just want to make our school happy and don't disappointed to me,"
"Montreal never disappointed you," Said me. "You're our favorite student in school. We don't want you to move to another school,"
"Don't be to dramatic," Laughed Trixie. "I'm not going to anywhere. Paris is my home. I went to Italy cause my dad has a shooting in there then we have to stay in Italy. Anyway, an artists are might be often going to another country for concert, meeting, interview, or anything, right?"
I smiled. "You're right. For world tour concert, perhaps?"
"That's right," Said Trixie. "Hey, do you have a plan to have a world tour concert?"
"World tour concert?" Asked me. "I want to, but I can't leave school. You know, there are too many subjects that I have to know,"
"You're already smart, Will,"
"No, I'm not,"
"Yeah, you are,"

We were back to Paris Hall. 

"Hey, Alex," Greet me. 

"Hey, Will," Said Alex. 

"So, the announcement?"

"It's not 3.00 PM right now," Said Georgie. "1 hour left, maybe,"

"So, what were you guys doing in the cafe?" Asked Alex.
"Having lunch, why?" Asked me.
"I thought you were dating," Laughed Alex. Shit.
"You know my parents, Alex," I sat next to him, waiting for the announcement.

1 hour later...
"Attention, everyone!" Shouted Mr. Benny from the itercom. "You all have to come to the theatre now. Come quickly. Thanks for your attention,"
We entered the theatre and sat in front of the stage.
"Good afternoon everyone," Said Mr. Benny. "In this afternoon, my friends and I have already decided who's going to get in to the finale. Before I announce it, I really appreciate your hadwork, perform your best and singing nicely. But the sad thing is only 5 schools that can get in to the finale. So I am so sorry if some of aren't get in. I really appreciate it. If I may choose, I'll choose all of you,"

He opened the envelope, then read who's get in to the finale.
"First, give applause to...,"
Montreal, please.
"...Western High!"
Everybody were giving applause to Western High. One of them was coming forward then standing beside Mr. Benny.
"Second, Starshine Public School!"
I was very worried, if Montreal doesn't get in.
"Third, Amelia Boarding School!"
See?
"Fourth, Belium High!"
One place left. 
"And the last, but not least..,"
All schools were hoping.
"...Montreal International School!"
I can't believe it. I can't believe that Montreal got in to the finale. I can't breath.
"Will, we're in! WE'RE IN!" Shouted Trixie while she shook me.
"One of all students of Montreal please come forward," Said Mr. Benny.
Everyone push me to come forward.
Then everybody, beside Montreal mentioned my name. Maybe some of them were Willstruck (Well, that was a name for my fans).

I was so glad we got in to the finale.

Haven't Met You Yet Lyrics

The Battle Begins Part 3

At School.

We've been practicing for 10 times, two times a week. But I didn't think that our performance will be better than the rehearsal. 

Then, on Monday we were having a rehearsal (Again). I tested their own performance. And I was totally surprised. 

They were performed nicely. 

Actually, I was rarely coach them. I just saw them practicing while I was drew the formation on the stage. 

"How's going, leader?" Asked Trixie on my back. 

"Everything is okay," Said me. "I think they're ready to perfom,"

"Well, how about you?"

Trixie's question made me felt worried. I was busy to watched my friends while I haven't practiced yet! I was confused to answer Trixie's question.

"I haven't practiced yet, Trix," Answered me. She giggled. 

"Why don't you have your own rehearsal today with me? In my house, perhaps?" Asked Trixie. That was a good idea, I guess. 

"Okay, then," Said me. 

"Yay!" Exclaimed Trixie. "Would you mind to help me do my Math homework?" 

Well, that was usually happening in Trixie's house. She wanted me to help her doing her homework. She never copying my homeworks. I just tell the way to finish the homework. Then you can say that I'm her 'teacher', 'cause Trixie won't take a private course. She said to her mother that she has already had her 'private teacher', and that was me. She thinks I'm extraordinary smart, But actually I'm rarely get 100 in an exam. 

"Okay, okay," 

"Thank you, Will!" Said her and back to the dance group. She was not being a dancer in that group, just being a dance teacher for another friends. Believe in me, She loves dancing too. How did I know that? Yeah 'cause I saw her that she was dancing with On The Floor song, and I guess she made the moves. 

While I was making the formation, I got a text message from anonymous.

"Hey William. You don't need to know who am I. Meet me after the selection of the competition. Meet me in front of 9-10D. I swear this is not from Trixie. Thanks~"

I knew someone has pranked me. So I ignored the text.
But 10 minutes later, I got a text message again.

"I'm from Montreal too, William. But you don't need to know am I. I just wanna give you some advice. I know you ignore my message while you are making the formation."

The anonymous knows that I was making the formation! I bet they were in the theatre too, because they knew that I was making the formation. Forget about that. But, I thought they wanna help me, perhaps?

"Hey, Will!" Greet Trixie. "What are you doing now?"

"Making the formation," Said me. "So, how's the dancing group? Did they dance nicely?"
"Of course, they did," Said Trixie. "Better rehearsal again, Will. You've already make the formation. Now it's time for tell the formation to everyone. Okay?"
"Okay," Said me. "Wait, but I think I'll tell them tomorrow,"
"Why?" Asked her.
"I'm just not ready yet,"
"Oh, okay," Said Trixie. 

Suddenly, there was an announcement from intercom. 

"Good morning to all students of Montreal that join the musical drama competition, right now please come to teacher's room. We are going to go to Paris Hall for a technical meeting. Once again, to all students of Montreal that join the musical drama competition, right now please come to the teacher's toom. We are going to go to Paris Hall for a technical meeting. Thanks for your attention," 

"What the?" Exclaimed Trixie. "Now? We haven't practice togehter yet!"

Yeah, we were very worried when we heard the announcement. She was right. 

"What should we do, Will?" Asked Trixie. Well, I was confused, what I'm going to say to Mrs. Alice. 

"I don't know!" Answered me. "What should I say to Mrs. Alice?"

"I'm confused too, Will!" Exclaimed her. "Forget about that. The important thing is we have to go to Paris Hall,"

At 10.00 AM, we went to Paris Hall. 

As usual, I sat next to Trixie in the bus. You know, soulmate. But some people thought that we were dating, but actually, NOT. My parents aren't allowed me to have a date with someone, even Trixie ('Cause they think that I'm too small to do something like that. Look at me, mom, dad! I'm fifteen and turning sixteen on January 28th!). Well, what about her parents? Trixie told me that her parents has a same thinking with my parents. 

I was worried about the technical meeting, so I just heard the songs from my iPhone. 

"You worried?" Asked Trixie.

"Umm, yeah, A little," Said me. 

"Wait, but I don't think that technical meeting is a rehearsal together with another school," Said her.

"How do you know?"

"Umm, I don't know. Maybe it isn't," Hope so.

Paris Hall.

We arrived at Paris Hall. The Hall was full of another school who wanna join the competition. 

And as usual, when we (I mean Trixie and I) arrived, there were so many people who ran to us and we've already known it that they wanted us to give them our signature. 

And as usual (Again), people called me cute. I'm rarely look at myself in the mirror. Am I cute? 

"Wow," Said Alex beside of me. 

"What?"

"No, nothing," Said Alex. "Just saying, 'wow',"

"Whateves,"

After gave my signature, I walked to the hall. Paris Hall was so big. I've been in here, when I was having my first concert. 

Our seat has already reserved, in front of the stage.

We met so many awesome and famous schools in the hall. And as I know, one of the schools that joined the competition was Montreal's big enemy since 9th generation. 

We sat and then the technical meeting has begun. 

"Good morning to all participants!" Exclaimed the host on the stage. "Did you know why did you all come to here, to the Paris Hall?"

I thought that host was insane, 'cause I bet he has already known the reason why we were in Paris Hall, but he was still asking to us. Silly.

"For the technical meeting!" Screamed a school in our back. 

"Yap, that's right!" Said the host. He was really insane, don't you? Asking to us such as he's asking to the kindergarten students.

"Today we just wanna tell the rules for you all, for the participants," Said him. "No, not rehearsal together. You may keep your performance on the selection,"

THANK GOD!

"The rules will be read by one of our jury, Mr. Benny!"

Everyone was applause the jury. The big-tall-black-guy came to the stage to read the rules. 

"Hello, everyone," Said Mr. Benny. "Now I would like to tell you the rules,"

He opened the paper that he brought. 

"First, the selection will be held two weeks later," Ha. No problem.

"Second, Perform with one song only," It doesn't matter.

"Thrid, do not create your own song for the selection," What should I say? I'm not mood on making songs now.

"Fourth, the performance must be a musical drama," It's easy for me, though.

"Fifth, you may arrange the music accompaniment," I always do that in home.

"Sixth, the singer may more than one," Trixie and I will do that.

"Seventh, In all participants, there are only 5 schools that will go to the finale," WHAT?!

"In the finale, there are only 2 schools that will go to the grand finale," I'm dead meat. 

"How about the assesment criteria?" Asked the host. I was dizzy when the jury read that stinky rules.

"Maybe in the selection," Said Mr. Benny. "That's all. Good day, everyone,"

WHAT?! THAT'S IT? ONLY THAT?! We came far from school to Paris Hall and that's it? Just wanna tell the rules? What the.

In the afternoon, I came to Trixie's house, for singing rehearsal.

"I have more than 5 albums of Michael Bublé. I'm one of his fans," Said Trixie when we were arrived to her bedroom. "One of my favorite song from Call Me Irresponsible album is 'Everything' by him," 

"Really?" I knew that song. I always heard that in my iPhone. 

She smiled. "Yeah," She said. "And I hope someone could sing it for me,"
I thought she was quiped me to sing for her. Well, it doesn't matter for me. All I need to do is just having a rehearsal.

"Hope so," Said me. 

She laughed. "So, shall we start rehearsal?"

"Why not?"

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 

Went home.

When I was in my bedroom, I always heard Trixie's sentence, 'And I hope someone could sing it for me,'. Did she mean that it was me, who have to sing it for her? 

You'll never know until I tell you in another part.

The Battle Begins Part 2

I didn't think that singing was a good idea. I've never sing in front of everyone before. But Trixie? Well, it's because she was a singer. 

Tuesday was our first rehearsal. After school, we gathered in theatre. 

"Come on, Will! Don't be late," Said Trixie.

"I bring so many books today, Trixie," Said me. 

"Well, need a help?" She took my bag and brought it. 

"Thanks, Trix," 

"Anytime," Said her. 

We walked to the theatre. 

Totally surprised.

There were so many students that really wanted to representing Montreal. I thought only a few students who wanted to join that competition.

"Hey, Mrs. Alice!" Shouted Trixie. "How are you?"

"I'm fine, Trixie," Said Mrs. Alice. "Hey, Will,"

"Hey,"

"Shall we do the rehearsal?" Asked her.

"Okay, let's do it," Said me.

"Okay, everyone. Please sit!" Shouted Mrs. Alice. "Okay, good afternoon everyone,"

"Good afternoon," 

"Well, shall we do the rehearsal?"

"Yes, Ma'am,"

"Okay," Said Mrs. Alice. "But now I need a helper. Who wants?"

Of course I want to. So, I raised my hand. Well, what about Trixie? Of course she did. 

"Trixie? Will?" Asked Mrs. Alice. "Anybody else?"

No one wanted to raise their hand. I really didn't mind when Mrs. Alice said that we have to set the choreography, the music and so on. It wasn't too hard to set all that stuff. I just need Trixie, Georgie and Alex to help me. No, no. We are not a gang, just mates. 

"Umm, Will," Called Trixie.

"What?"

"What should we do?" Asked her. Well, that was little bit complicated. 

"We have to devide up the tasks," Said me. "Well then. Who's good at playing music?"

I counted the students who could play music. It's about 20 students.

"How about dancing?" Asked Trixie. 30 students were raising their hand. 

"Umm, singing?" Asked me. No one wants to raised their hand.

"We can't. You can," Said Alex. I shocked. 

"Who? Me?" Asked Trixie. 

"No, not you," Said Georgie. "Will,"

"ME?" Exclaimed me. Singing? Well that was not my talent. I'm just being a musician, that's all.

"Yeah, you," Said Alex. Trixie smiled to me. "I know you can do it, Will," Said her. 

"Umm, I don't know," Said me. 

"Well, who's agree if Will is being our leader of our group?" Asked Trixie. Honestly, 99.99% Of all students who joined the competition were raised their hand. "Okay. You are going to be the leader," Said Trixie. 

"Oh, me?" 

"Yeah, you," Said Trixie. "You said that you want to be the leader right? Now lead this group. I know you can do it. I'll help you," 

"Really?" Asked me. 

"Yeah, I trust you," Smiled Trixie. "Okay, next month is a selection. We need to get ready, everyone,"

"Well, what song that you want to use for the selection?" Asked me. "The easy song? It's okay. It's up to you,"

You want to know what song that I want to use? I thought that we could sing "Haven't Met You Yet" Song by Michael Bublé. Yeah, I'm one of his fan, got a prob?

I've told you before that I love jazz. And Michael Bublé is a jazz singer. Don't know? Type 'google.com' then search Michael Bublé. 

"What about 'The Power Of Dream' by Celine Dion?" Asked Darrell Archie, one of my friend in 9-10D. 

"Umm, I know that song, but I think we sing that song on the grand final, but now just sing a simple song," Said me. 

"Wait, wait!" Exclaimed Trixie. "Divide up the tasks first! The students who wants to dance, stand up in front of that piano. The students who wants to playing music stay in here, Now, sing...," 

Oh, geez. 

"..You," She appointed to me. 

"Trixie, are you sure?" Asked me. 

"Totally," Answered her. "But I'll help you,"

"Promise?"

"Promise," She smiled. 

"Okay, then," I took my notebook. "For the dancers first. Who wants to train your friends to dance plus make a new moves?" 

Valleria Janette, a girl from 9-10F was raised her hand. "I can," Said her. 

"Okay, thanks Valls," Said me. "How about the music? Who wants to be the conductor?" 

There was no student to raise their hand. 

"Of course no one, Will. Only you too can being a conductor," Said Alex. Gee, being the conductor is so easy! Just lead an orchestra group, it isn't difficult, right?

"Others, Alex," Said Trixie. "Don't be afraid. Today is just a practice," 

"Okay, if no one wants to be, I want," Alex raised his hand. I was confused. "Really, Alex?"

"Really," Said him. "Could you trust me to do it, Will?" 

I have to be fair with everyone, so I trusted him. "Yes, I could. But you have to be serious. Promise?"

"Promise!" Exclaimed Alex. "Thanks, Will! You're the pro!"

"Okay, all of you, now you can start practicing," Said me. All students were busy with their tasks. 

"Trixie," Called me. 

"Yeah?" 

"Why don't we make a song, perhaps?" Asked me. She laughed.

"Umm, what's wrong?"

"No, nothing," Answered her. "But I don't think that make our own song is a good idea. If when the committee wants we sing another artist's song, What should we do? It's okay, Will. Just for one time we are using another song,"

"Umm, okay,"

"Hey, by the way, 'Haven't Met You Yet' song by Michael Bublé is okay for the selection,"

Yap, how did she know? I never told to everyone if that song is okay for the selection. How did she?

"Trixie, I have a same thinking like you!" Exclaimed me. "I thought that song was amazing for the selection. We can use that if you want," 

"Hey, really?" 

"Yeah," She smiled. "Hey, by the way why don't we ask Mrs. Alice how many schools that join the competition?"

That was a good idea. So we left from the theatre and went to the teacher's room. Mrs. Alice was there.

"Hi, the great couple," Said her. Yap, she called us 'the great couple', because we were so close everyday. 

"Please don't call us like that," Said Trixie. She laughed. "Just joking, my dear," Said Mrs. Alice. "Well, what can I help you?"

"How many schools that join this competition?" Asked her. She was thinking. 

"Umm, 60 schools has signed for the competition, so I think you all will compete with another school," 

Yeah, 60 schools were signed for the competition. How humiliating. 

"WOW," Said Trixie. "I think it's fun. Well, let's continue the practice, Will,"
"Okay," We left the teacher's room. "Bye, Mrs. Alice!"

"Bye, my dear," Said her.

The Battle Begins Part 1

I'm very tired, yeah. Last night I slept at 00.00 AM. It's not because I can't sleep, but I had a lot of homework. Yeah, homework. Actually it doesn't matter for me 'cause I love studying and doing my homworks. But yesterday I had a lot of stuff that I had to do. So I just hoping that when the teacher is teaching, I won't sleep.

Umm, should I introduce myself?

Okay, then. I'm William North Poll (Please call me Will or William, not North Pole), a student in Montreal International School (And also the musician from Paris). I'm 15 Years Old, turning sixteen on January 28th. Maybe you'll not understand what kind of this story about. Let me talk. 

If you know Trixie Trainee, the coolest girl in Montreal and in the entertainment world, I had a relationship with her. Hey, not date! Only best friends. 

Actually I want to make a friend with her because I really missed my sister Lily. She's 11th grade, I guess. She died when I was 8th grade. I think Trixie was my new sister, because she's so kind to me. Well then, it doesn't mean that I like her. 

Well, that's short story about me. Wanna know more? Please, I'm too tired to tell you a lot about me. 

I went to school, then went to my lucky class, 9-10D, when the creative and craziest students were gathered together in 9-10D. Why I called them 'craziest students'? 'Cause they're too overacting when they're joking. Got it?

I got to my class, and I was pretty surprise when I saw only 14 students in the class. Where's everybody?

Including Trixie! Well actually, Trixie was my neighboor. I often go to her house almost everyday. Yeah, for duet together, teach her, or just playing. I know I already go to High School, but I think 'play' word isn't in my dictionary. I still love playing (Not playing doll or something). 

Then, Trixie came.

"Hi Will!" Said her. "Where's everybody?"

"I don't know," Answered me. "I just came in here,"

"Okay, don't think about that, it doesn't matter," Said her. "Let's find a chair for us,"

Trixie and I always sit together in the class. Yeah you know, best friends should be like that. 

After Trixie, Alex came. 

"Hello, people!" Shouted Alex. "What's going on?"

"Nothing," I said. "Better find your seat, Alex,"

"Whatever," Said Alex. 

The bell rings, and the lesson begins. 

The first lesson activity on Monday was having a ceremony. *skip*

Then after ceremony, we were having Biology, the worst lesson on earth (My friends said like that except Trixie), but I think Biology is fun. I think it's because my friends doesn't want to use their brain. Too deep.

But I thought the Biology teacher didn't come, 'cause it was almost a half hour we were waiting for our Biology Teacher, but she hasn't come yet.

And suddenly, our teacher- Mrs. Caroline came to our class. Mrs. Caroline was our Language teacher. She knows more than 10 languages in this world. 

"Mrs. Caroline?" Said Trixie. "Right now isn't your lesson, right?"

"I know," Said Mrs. Caroline. "But I have an announcement. Actually that announcement was from our principal, and he forwarded it to all teachers in Montreal to tell to their class," 

"I see," I said. 

"Okay, everyone. Please sit!" Said Mrs. Caroline. "I have an announcement for you all."

"What announcement?" Asked Georgie Florence, one of my close friends after Alex. Not Best friends, okay? Trixie is only my best friend.

"Well, it's about a competition," Said Mrs. Caroline. "A musical drama competition in each school. The selection will be held on three weeks later. If you're intrested to represent our school, please sign your name to your music teacher- Mrs. Alice in Teacher's room. I bet all students in 9-10D will sign their name, especially Will and Trixie,"

"Always!" Exclaimed Trixie.

"Okay, that's all that I want to announce," Said Mrs. Caroline. "What's the first lesson today?" 

"Biology," Answered Alex. 

"Oh, okay then,"

Break time.

"Hey, do you think what I'm thinking?" Asked Trixie. 

"Surely I don't know. What?" Asked Georgie. 

"Would you all like to sign your name? For representing school?" 

"What the?" Exclaimed Alex. "I can't sing, Trixie!"

"It doesn't matter, Alex," Said Trixie. "You could play the music, or dance, maybe. You don't have to be the lead singer,"
"So, who wants to sign your own name?" Asked Trixie.

"Me, of course," Answered me. 

"Yeah, you must," Said Trixie. "What about you, Georgie? Alex?"

"I'm not good at music, but I think join that competition is okay," Said Georgie. "Well then, I'll join," 

"Alex?" Asked me. 

"Actually, it's been so long I want to sing, so I'll join," Answered Alex.

"Okay," Said Trixie. "Wait, Alex. You said that you're not good at singing,"

"Yeah, I am," Said Alex. "But I just want to try it. It doesn't matter, right?"

"Yeah, you're right," Said Trixie. "Well then, let's go to meet Mrs. Alice!"

The final decision was we were joined that competition. I didn't know how many schools that are going to join the selection. 

Teacher's Room.

"Excuse me," Said Trixie while she was opened the door. "Is Mrs. Alice is available to talk now?" Asked her to Mrs. Penny, the Mathematic teacher. 

"Yeah, she is," Siad Mrs. Penny. "She's right over there," 

"Thanks," Said Trixie.

"Morning, Mrs. Alice,"

"Morning, Trixie," She smiled. "Well, what can I help you?"
"We want to sign our name to join that musical drama competition," Answered her.

"No charge, right?" Asked Alex. Mrs. Alice laughed. "Of course not! Our school has already have the funds. Don't worry,"

"Not funny, Alex," Mocked Georgie.

"Okay, sign your name here," Mrs. Alice gave us a piece of paper. 

"Will," Called Trixie.

"What?" 

"Would you like to try something new?"

What did she mean? Try football sport? 

"What do you mean?" Asked me. 

"Answer first," Answered Trixie. Gee, she was my best friend, but she has a lot of mysteries.

"Yeah, why?"

"Would you like to be a singer in musical drama competition?" Asked Trixie. "Not only you, with me, Georgie and Alex,"

Well, I was surprised. I know, I'm the musician, but it doesn't mean that I can sing. I'll tell you, I'm not good at singing. I had a bad voice and I'm not a singer.

But actually when I was in elementary, I was dreaming that I wanted to be a jazz singer, just like Michael Buble. I didn't know the reason why I really wanted to be a jazz singer when I was in elementary. 

"Will?" 

"What?" 

"I'm waiting,"

"Oh," Said me. "But, are you sure?"

"Pretty sure," Answered her. "Come on, you just need a rehearsal. Don't worry. It doesn't matter that we try something new,"

I doubted Trixie's idea. Singing?

But I thought It was fun to sing together.

"Okay, I accepted it," I smiled.

"Great!" Said her. "Thanks, Will!"
"Anytime,"
