Life Has Good Times - And Bad Part 3

I was on my school bus trying to read the paper. It was so noisy in there! Suddenly, I jumped up a bit and realized that Jeff Hirsch was sitting next to me. He took the paper away from me and started reading. "Jeff! Give that back!" I said. I grabbed for it, but he blocked me with his hands. He smiled and started laughing. "So, Miss Prissy Corissy is still trying to beat you at something, I see. Now I'll get to hear both ya'lls voices in the same day! Ha! Ha!" he remarked. I glared at him. But in my mind, I was thinking. I knew this boy since we were like, 2 weeks old? And I still couldn't believe he was making fun of Corissa since he's the one who was her only steady boyfriend for over a month! I finally got the paper back.

"Hey!" he exclaimed. "I didn't get to finish the prizes!" I looked at him with a puzzled look. "Prizes...?" I asked. He just stared at me with his glum, but handsome, face. "Duh, Nicole! Why would Corissa enter a contest that doesn't have a prize that's worth ruining the reputation she doesn't have? She wouldn't just enter it because of you." I smiled. I pushed him and he landed hard in the center of the aisle. He just chuckled and ran back to his friends. I decided to read the prizes. This is what it read:

The winner of the "Singathon" will be a real winner! They will win $10,000 for a college scholarship and he/she will sing for a record company later in the year and if they like them, he/she would be signed to become a real singer. And to receive some more influences from pros, he/she will be able to travel with one of the following bands for one month: Sister Hazel, No Mercy, Celine Dion, Ma$e, Backstreet Boys, No Authority, Jewel, Robyn, The Fugees, and All Saints. Good Luck!

Wow! That's a great prize! I bet you know which band I'll pick if I won! Well, remember that big term, if. I decided to read the rest. All it said was that we should practice and we need to fill out a form and the contest will be held in the theater on May 24th. Great. Well, at least I have 2 months to try and bring my voice out.
