Tara Lewis was a junior at Lakewood High School. She was a quiet student who didn't like to stand out and make a scene. She had a few friends but was not involved in any sports or clubs. She blended in, in all her classes and liked it like that. Tara had an amazing gift that only she knew. She was a gifted singer/songwriter. While her parents would be at work Tara would just sing her heart out. She sometimes sung songs already written or sometimes sang her own songs. Tara never planned on pursuing music or even sharing it with anyone. She knew people would discourage her from following such a shaky career path plus she wasnt the type of person to get up infront of people and perform. She was ok with keeping it to herself.
One afternoon while Tara thought she was home alone sang one of her own songs. She forgot that she invited her friend Ashley over. Ashley has been over so many times she doesnt knock anymore she just walks on in. While Tara was singing her heart out, Ashley stood in amazement in the doorway. Tara turns turned around and saw Ashley there.
"Oh I was jus playing around, I was bored." Tara tried covering it up.
" I've never heard you sing before....Your really good. What song was that?" Ashley asked
"Its just something I wrote when I was bored in biology class. It's nothing really" Tara responded
" No its really good. You know, you should enter the talent competition they have next week. They are still accepting people. You have a good shot of winning." Asley said with a huge smile on her face
" No way! I will not subject myself to humiliation infront of the whole school." Tara said
" What? You're really good. Everyone will love it. Please do it. You won't regret it." Ashley begged
"Ok I will think about it at least. Now lets do some studying." Tara said. SHe knew she wouldn't do it but wanted Ashley to quit talking about it.
