  • Essay / Quite a Surprise: Narrative Fiction - 755

    I followed Jett as we walked down the middle of the bus. I could already tell how _impatient_ Jett was coming towards Leilani. I guess I had no reason to deny that I had done the same thing years before. It wasn't something I wanted to repeat. “Hey guys!” Leilani smiled as she ran her hand through her faded pink hair. Weird…they seemed a lot brighter when we first got along. Leilani had the talent to stand out. She was one of those people who could be crazy and no one would ever question it. Even if they did, she would put them in their place. "Hey !" Jett smiled at Leilani, quickly taking his usual place next to her. As usual, I sat behind them. "SO!" I leaned over the seat and smiled at them. “What’s the news today?” Leilani was always up to date with everything, whether it was school, celebrities, music, movies; you name it, she knew it. “Well,” Leilani put her hands on her legs, looking at me then at Jett. “I heard we have...wait, wait...a talent show!!!” She laughed.

Leilani laughed. “We could do it.” Jett and I looked... in the middle of a paper... we could have had it all!" he sang, laughing. I crossed my arms. "It was _Someone Like You_, for “Your information,” I looked away once more. It wasn't my fault my sister left sheet music on the counter. Leilani rolled her eyes. "Jaron, come on. Ignore him. He's just annoying, isn't he," His smile returned to me. “So! What song are you going to sing?” “Song? Sing? You just told me I was going to be in a talent show and you expect me to already know a song?!” I brought my knees to my chest. “Leilani, you’re killing me, you know that?” Leilani shrugged, "Why not do Adele again?" You won't regret it!" I sighed, looking out the window as we pulled into the school parking lot. I was in for a _long_ day..
