"Knock knock."
"Who isn't there?" I ask, not moving from the bed.
"Frances Mackenzie."
"Remember what I told you twenty times for the past hour?" I say, "Leave me alone!"
"Geez."
I hear her footsteps going away and I sit on the bed.
Call me weird, but for the past two days, I've been on my room, almost pitch black. You would think that after the incident I would avoid dark rooms, but I like it. It just calms me down. Maddie had to go back to New York. Mom and Kenzie have tried to talk to me, but I prefer being alone right now.
I sigh as I unlock my phone and check the hour.
10:30 am
Guess I should start packing.
Instead of spending the time alone, I decide to take out my new camera. I've been thinking about starting a YouTube channel for a while, and I think that this it the time, when I don't want to talk to anyone. Ironic, Mel.
"Hey guys." I start vlogging, "Welcome to my channel. I want to say welcome back, but this is the first video, so I still can't say that, hopefully soon. Anyways, I need to get ready for dance, even though I'm a little bit scared about what could happen, but we gotta go."
I quickly change into my dance clothes, and street clothes over it. I style my hair into a ponytail and take my dance bag.
"All ready." I fake smile at the camera, really Mel? Now it's not the time, "Let's go downstairs."
I put my left hand in the knob and stop.
Is this really what you want?
It's been too long, I won't give up now. I mean, how am I supposed to get my Grammy?
Wait, so you want to be a singer?
In a couple years, now, let's go.
I rush downstairs into the kitchen, where Kenzie and Mom were talking.
"You all done?" Kenzie asks.
"Say hello to the vlog." I actually smile.
"Since when do you vlog?" Mom smiles.
"Since now." I answer.
Whoa, it feels good to actually smile again.
"I call shotgun." Kenzie announces.
"Guess it's fair." I shrug, "But I call shotgun for the ride back."
"What?" Kenzie asks, "You are smart."
"I know, some may say I'm a genius." I flip my hair and look at the camera, "Would you?"
"Of course, Melie, of course." Kenzie says on a sarcastic tone and I laugh.
The three of us, and Kalani, make our way to the car. Soon enough, we meet up with the rest.
"I gotta go, but I'll be back later." I say as I stop vlogging.
"Sounds fun." JoJo comments, "You better?"
"Way better." I chuckle, "Even though I have an appointment tomorrow."
"For what?" She asks.
"Therapist."
"Oh."
"Pretty simple." I tell her, "I'm actually curious of what's going to happen. Last time, she gave me brownies."
