Superstar Singer

It was open Mic night down at the school. I couldn’t convince my self to sing. I knew that I was good, but I couldn’t sing in front of my school friends, could I?
I decided to check it out, since my best friend Hayley was singing.
I got there and the gym was decorated beautifully. There was a stage, balloons, streamers, and banners that said, “Open Mic Night”. I saw Hayley by the refresment table and walked over to her.
“Hey! Are you nervous?”
“A little, but not really! I’m excited!”
“Well it’s a good thing I didn’t sign up! I wouldn’t have been able to do this!” Haley smiled.
“You’re a great singer though!
I shook my head. Hayley smiled wider. What was she up to?
“Ok! May I have everyones attention!”
It was Mr. Borris, our music teacher.
“Thank you all for coming! I’m sure it’s going to be a great night!”
I turned to Hayley, but she wasn’t there. I guess she went backstage with the other proformers.
“Ok, anyway lets get on with the show! Our 1st proformer is Selena Gatsby!
Oh God. That was me!
