Because You Love Me (Falling for You, book Three)
“The first time was fourth grade, at West Walker Middle School. It took no effort to conjure up memories of disinfectant, the nasty bubblegum flavored fluoride, and sheer terror.
When I tried out for the solo in fourth grade chorus, the opening line of ‘The Lion Sleeps Tonight’ poured from my lips, unbroken and free. I’d expected to croak since the audition was performed in front of the entire class. When that didn’t happen, I figured, at least I won’t be picked on for butchering the opening. I ...was floored when I saw my name typed on the space beside ‘soloist’ the next day.
I spent every night until the concert practicing. Perfecting. The big night came.
Showtime.
I cowered when I looked out in the sea of faces, many of which I recognized because usually, they held sneers and disgust if they bothered to notice me at all. My chorus teacher, Megan Woods, had hair like a raging inferno and a glare to match. It struck fear into anyone that dared to talk out of turn in her class.MoreLess
