chapter 2;
always.second.best.
As we sat, hand in hand in the audience, our teacher walked up on stage to announce the winner of the talent show.
"Well, what great performances we've had tonight. you know it reminds me of when I was younger..."
The audience groaned.
She always had to put in her "when i was younger" stories.
Ten minutes passed before she began to announce the winner.
"...And so in 3rd place, with her magical performance, Lily carlson!"
Lily walked up on stage, collected her trophy and walked back off.
I was always jealous of Lily.
The way her shiny black hair flowed down her back, oh so carelessly.
Her mysterious blue eyes.
And she was georgous.
All the guys always wanted her.
But she was more of my type, the keep-to-herself kind of person.
Im surprised she even entered in the talen show.
"In second place, with the voice of an Angel, Evangaline Marie!"
Wow..i thought to myself. Does she mean me?
"Go on" exclaimed Will.
I got up and walked on stage.
I was so shocked.
..And soo happy.
People were finally beginning to notice me.
I wasn't just Evangaline, the boring, outcast.
I was Evangaline,the girl with the voice of an angel.
As I walked off stage, people were clapping and cheering.
I felt a huge smile cross my face as i sat back down.
"Great Job, Evan" said Will, with his beautiful smile shineing at me.
"Thanks" I said, smiling back.
"...And in first place, with more talent then I've ever seen before, Ashley Smith!"
Ashley Smith.
Damn.
It had to be her.
I hated her, with a burning passion.
...
It all started in 3 years ago in 5th grade.
It was lunch.
She had a new white dress on.
I had fruit punch for my drink.
And i think you can guess the rest.
She screamed so loud i swear people on the moon could hear her.
I apologized telling her over and over..."It was an accident! I swear!"
But no. She wouldn't forgive me.
"Your just jealous Evangaline! You always have been! And now you ruin my new dress! I can't believe you!"
And thats where our friendship ended.
Over a stupid dress.
...
"I'd just like to thank my mom and my da-"
"Okay, okay. This isn't the Grammy's Ashley, please sit down"
"Well then.." Ashley said coldly.
I thought for once I could beat her. For once in my life I could be better then AShley at something. But no.
Ashley turned out to be the average snob.
The ones that you see in the movies.
Georgous blonde hair, striking blue eyes, and supermodel skinny.
i've always been living in her shadow.
I'm always. Second. Best.
