YESH! WE HAVE DONE IT MY CHICKIES! or rather I have. I finally think I found something that I can remember to do every day! *we'll see how long that lasts* SHUT UP VOICE IN MY HEAD! YOU'RE MEAN! WAAAAH! crying oh well, he's also beside the point! I wrote another "chapter" in my story today, and I am proud of myself, well, except that I didn't do my homework rolleyes , oh well, so air go! this is what I got today:

When Ms. Peters came back, Anjay was getting impatient. She was anxious and fidgety. “Don’t I need to tell my teacher?” she blurted out before she could control herself. “I have already informed her that you will not be going to study hall today.” was the reply that Anjay got. It wasn’t exactly what she was looking for. Ms. Peters took a deep breath and asked, “Anjay, why did you choose that song?” Anjays heart started to race and her mind went blank for a second, then she almost yelled “Because my dad used to sing it to me when I was little! And besides, I love dawn and dusk, they are my favorite parts of the day. The sunrise and sunset are so beautiful.” She could feel herself blushing even before she shut her mouth. She quickly looked down at the tiles. “Well, you made it all the more beautiful with your singing. Have you ever considered joining chorus?” Anjay looked up, startled. “Chorus?” she whispered. Confused she realized that Ms. Peters had enjoyed her singing. Maybe the other kids weren’t mocking her, but actually liked her singing. “Come over here.” Ms. Peters said, and she gestured to the piano. Anjay sat down on the bench next to her and looked at the keys. “I’d like you to try to sing along with the piano Anjay,” Ms. Peters told her, “Can you read music?” “Yeah…my dad taught me.” Anjay muttered the last part under her breath, so it was barely audible. Ms. Peters pointed out the lines she wanted Anjay to sing and played the tune on the piano. Anjay gave it her best and when she was done there was a clapping noise from behind her. Alex stood there, leaning on the door frame, eyes shining. “MARVELOUS!” he roared with laughter. Alex had the amazing personality that allowed him to be uncaring of what others thought. He was never afraid to speak his mind. “That was amazing, how long have you been taking singing lessons?” “Lessons? I’ve never taken lessons.” Anjays voice was soft with nerves, she had always looked up to this handsome tenth grader, and now, he was talking to her of his own will. “NEVER? Why, you must be lying! What’s this then? And in my lesson time none the less!” He had anger in his voice, but a twinkle in his eyes. She soon realized that he was teasing her, and looked for reassurances to Ms. Peters. She merely said, “I knew you wouldn’t mind Alex, so I have invited her to come join us today. Of course, I must admit, I am also amazed that you’ve never taken lessons Anjay. Where did you learn to sing?” Anjay was silent for a moment and then replied “My dad loved to sing, he was always humming a tune, no matter what. I guess I picked it up from him, I would sing along sometimes when I knew the words.” The two figures realized the melancholy tone in her voice and decided to back away from the subject. “Well, this bench isn’t big enough for three of us” Ms. Peters said changing the subject “So Alex, I’ll let you tutor her. I have work to do, and you said you wanted to move along farther anyway. A good way to improve is to help others.” Ms. Peters stood up and Alex sat down next to Anjay. “So, Anjay, what grade are you in?” “Ninth.” the word tumbled from her mouth. “Cool. Now lets get started.” For the next hour, Alex and Anjay worked together on scales and exercises. They talked and got to know each other some, and finally, before the last bell rang, Alex said “Anjay, I don’t know if you’ve ever tried theater, but I think that you’d like it. We are having auditions for Cinderella tomorrow in the auditorium. They’re from six to nine. Why don’t you come? I think you’ll enjoy it.” And with that he left. She sat there stunned, and finally whispered, “I’ll be there.”


And I have some more started, possibly for tomorrow! OKAY! well, now it is time for homework, rolleyes , ttyl my chickies!
