here comes fame
Chapter 7
Anya's POV:
I got home that day from school and quickly changed into my waitress uniform. I had to go to work in an hour at the karaoke restaurant down the street. Before I was about to leave my parents stopped me. "Anya, we saw your last history test." I gulped, I didn't do very well on it. "Mom, Dad, don't worry. There's no need for history when you're famous." My parents just shook their heads and let me leave. They did not approve of my dreams of becoming famous. They didn't believe in me and thought I spent way too much time on singing instead of school.
I drove to work thinking about Josh; I knew it was wrong but I think I may have feel for him. He was the only boy that was that good at singing that's ever spoken to me. But Casey was fierce and would never let me even speak to her boyfriend let alone go out with him.
I got to work and started a normal shift. Just then Casey and her group of friends walked in. I rolled my eyes, she was the last person I wanted to see here tonight. It was finally my break and since it was open mic night I thought I should give it a shot. I went up and introduced myself, "Hello, I am Anya Stella Fink and I will be singing Tonight from West Side Story." I smiled. I started singing when Casey stood up and began singing Tonight Tonight by Hot Chelle Rae. "What are you doing?" I asked while she was singing. She stopped and I started singing my song again, "This is what you get for talking to MY boyfirend." she snapped. We kept singing, going back and forth. It kind of sounded like a mash-up. Actually, it sounded really good. So I just went with it.
At the end of the song everybody started clapping like crazy. They thought it was planned out. I bowed and smiled. It was obviously one of my best performances. Who knew it would be with Casey? "Thank you, thank you all." I said. Casey just rolled her eyes at me and sat back down with her friends.
"Anya, hey." I heard a familiar voice call. It was Carly. What did she want? "Hey Carly." I said in my nicest possible voice. "I heard you and Casey sing. That was amazing. It was brilliant." I smiled at her, "Thanks, truth be told it wasn't planned at all." She grabbed a seat motioned for me to sit next to her, "Anya, you're very taltented." "I know." I said while twirling my hair. "Anywho, so is Casey and I think I'm good as well." Way to brag; I thought. "So I was thinking," she continued, "Maybe this whole band thing is a good idea. I mean people will love us." I thought about and Carly was right; this could be the start of something good. "I'm in." I told her while getting up to continue my shift.
