It was a regular Friday morning and Tina was getting ready for school. As Tina and her class settled into the classroom the loud speaker boomed through the school. Mr. Stroud ,the school principal spoke through the speaker very clearly so that everyone can hear.
"Good morning students of Applewood Middle School. Next week is going to be very special because we are hosting our 15th annual talent show. All students who would like to preform must see me or your homeroom teachers for permission slips. Thank you and have a great day." Tina couldn't believe what she had just heard. After coming in 2nd place last year in the talent show and losing to Brianna Nimmo she has been practicing hard everyday counting down the days to the big day. This year Tina is going to sing in the talent show. Everyone knows Tina is an outstanding singer, but Brianna is just as good. Tina wanted to win so badly. The song she was going to sing is called "Price Tag" by Jessie J. Tina wanted to sing this song because she loved the rhythm of the music, the lyrics were inspirational and she loved the song. Tina never payed a lot of attention to the other kids who were preforming because she was to focused on practicing until she satisfies herself. One thing Tina knew for sure was that Brianna was going to be singing to and it was going to be very hard to beat her. You would think Tina and Brianna hate each other and have always been rivals. Shockingly they are actually very good friends who enjoy singing, and competing against each other. They also never get mad or jealous of each other if one wins and the other doesn't.
After a few anxious days of waiting and practicing it was finally the day before the talent show. All the students at Applewood Middle School have been talking about who they think is going to win the talent show. Of course it was between two people Tina and Brianna. Usually after practicing long and hard Tina and Brianna spend the last day or two looking at their competition if there is any. Both of them know to much of practicing and preparing isn't always good for you.
The next day Tina was so anxious for school to finish because she has been waiting for the talent show for ever. As the final bell rang signalling that school was over students started to file out of the building. More than two dozen students who were competing in the talents show walked together to the auditorium. As it neared 5:30 the students got ready to preform. At first the talent show seemed to run very quickly. When it was almost Tina's turn to preform she spotted Brianna. They both got together and started chatting.
"So, I never got the chance to ask you what you were doing for the show tonight?" Tina asked
"Oh, well I'm going to sing Price Tag by Jessie J." She replied.
As soon as Tina heard the words she almost passed out because she was so shocked. Without saying a word Brianna knew the problem.
After a bit of talking the girls fixed their problem and had calmed down. As Tina's turn edged closer she and Brianna were waiting anxiously. As the roar of the applauds drifted off Tina took the stage. Tina knew this was going to be the best talent show ever. The music started playing and Tina started singing. A quarter way through the song Brianna came on the stage with so much energy and enthusiasm the crowd was on their feet. The two best friends were singing their favorite song together. As they sang the final lyrics of the song the crowd broke into applause.
As the two girls walked off stage, Tina said, "I can't wait until next years talent show!!"
