to talk, anyway, Miss Snobby Preppy Pants!!”
Stella gasped as Charlie ran up to Cassie to calm her. He knew Cassie, and he knew that if she went any further, Stella might get hurt. Cassie sat down and started humming band music to relax.
Stella just walked up to Charlie, and to Sky's dismay, she kissed him on the cheek. Charlie just wiped it off. If she ever wanted Charlie to herself, she needed to be nice.
Cassie went home and practiced for two hours straight. By 5:30 she had enough confidence to call herself ready. Just then her phone rang. It was a text from Charlie. He sent her a selfie of him and Skyler ready for the concert.
Cassie looked at Charlie's face and was a little sad, but hey, anyone is better than Stella.
Putting on her lavender dress, Cassie packed up her flute and got ready to leave. Even though the concert didn't start until 7, report time for the band geeks was 6:15. Cassie grabbed her flute and music and ran out the door, which was too hard to do in her heels, so she just walked.
When Cassie arrived, Charlie and Skyler were cuddling outside the school. “Come on you two love-birds.” Cassie called, “You don't want to miss the concert!”
Inside the band room, the students frantically practiced. As everyone finished practicing, Appleyard went to the front of the room. “This is the final hour, the fate of the universe rests in your-” Appleyard paused, “Sorry, wrong speech.”
“You all have practiced so hard,” she continued, “I have faith that we can knock the audience's socks off!” The band cheered. “Now let's show them how it's done!” Appleyard shouted. Everyone cheered again.
Stella growled when Cassie walked by.
Cassie sat down and started getting out her flute. It used to be her mom's. Packed neatly inside a leather-covered case, the flute came in pieces that were gold and shiny. Cassie carefully assembled the instrument, tuned, and then performed a perfect B-flat scale. Charlie and Sky clapped for her. Stella huffed at her. “Show-off.” she said under her breath.
It was almost time for the band to go out, when it happened. Cassie started to get nervous. For the first time in her life, Cassie was scared. Scared of embarrassment, scared of messing up, of making the band look bad.
Stella noticed this, and decided that it was time for some revenge. “Nervous Cassie?” she teased, “Oh, well I like tots hope you don't mess up. With all of those eyes on you, nerve-wracking, isn't it?” Cassie's stomach twisted.
“Stop it, Stella!” Charlie demanded. “Aww, Char-Char,” Stella cooed, “I'm just reminding her how important it is that she gets everything perfect!”
Cassie felt like puking. She's never been on stage before! Stella was right! Her solo! Oh no, Cassie's solo was in the first song! She wasn't ready, she wasn't ready, she wasn't ready!
Stella smiled as she followed the panicking Cassie onto the stage. This was going to be sups amaze!
As the band slowly walked on the stage, Cassie felt the eyes piercing into her soul. She sat in her chair and put the flute on her lips. The first song started. Toot toot went the flute. Cassie couldn't concentrate. She just kept playing on, slightly out of tune.
The brass cut out. Percussion stopped playing. It was almost time for Cassie's solo! Stella took a break and whispered, “Don't mess up!”
The rest of the instruments cut out and there was silence. Appleyard mouthed the word 'NOW'. “Oh no!” Stella teased. Cassie felt it, that feeling you have when everyone is looking at you, and no one else. Thousands of eyes stared at her, the spotlight making her sweat.
In an instant, Cassie dashed off the stage, dropping her flute with a clang. Charlie ran off after her, and Sky followed
