The Notes
“Hi, what are you doing are you asleep yet Athena?” ask Menel. “No Menel I’m not sleeping yet, why, did you want anything? No it’s just that I’m really nervous for tomorrow’s event and the fact that Axel is going to be there, and just watching me perform I just wish that I didn’t get this much nervous, because its not really helping me. What do you think about it, Athena? But Athena did not answer me, she had falling asleep. In that night I could not sleep and so many thoughts came to my mine, and even my conductor’s face show in my dream. Then around 3 in the morning I finally felt asleep.
In the morning my sister Athena was taking to my mom about me having trouble sleeping that night. “Why do you think she’s acting this way? My mom asked warily. When I heard that I wanted the floor to just open up and to eat me, because my sister was going to tell my mom not just that I was nervous because of the fact that I was going to be performing in front of a lot of people, but also because Axel was going to be there, and so my mom was going to find out that I like Axel. So just when Athena was about to tell my mom the reason why I was so nervous the door bell rang, it was my friend Armand. I was so happy when I saw him, because that meant that it was time for us to go to school. So I pull my sister and ran out the house. “What’s going on, Menel is everything okay?” asked Armand. I told him what was going on. I mean after all he already knew that I had a big crush for Axel, the “FOOTBALL PLAYER.” And well almost everyone in school new about it! But back to my topic, I told Armand what my sister was about to say to my mom. “Are you cereous?” Armand with a mouth looking like he was about to drop it exclaim. I said, “Yes I’m cereous!” But once we got to school I felt better, but I felt even better when I got inside the music room and stared to warm up. I love playing my clarinet; it always helps me feel so calm.
Also that same day I had to meet with all the band kids, “The all city band”. Every time that I knew that I had to meet them and do rehearsals with the entire band, I got so excited. We took the school bus to get to Meham Middle school, where we all got together to show what we could do best! But to my surprise when we were all seated they gave us another piece of music.” Why are these people giving us another piece of music when the concert is in two weeks and we are only going to meet one more time as a whole? “I asked the girl next to me with a big surprise. “ I don’t know but this piece looks very hard and especially if we have to memorize it!” said the girl. I got really worried about it. What I didn’t realize was that I was the only one with that paper at the time. So my teacher said that I was going to be the only one playing that piece in the clarinet section, and that’s how my problem began!
I thought I was able to do it, so I accepted. I did my best to learn it but it was just too hard! So when I practice I got use to playing but looking at the notes. So when I went back for rehearsals the next week, the conductor asked me if I could play the piece of music. “Yes”, I said, but I thought I could just look at the notes while playing it. Of curse that was not going to work for her, so she asked if I could get of stage. I was so sad because I thought she was going to kick me of the show. But all she said to me was that I was going to pretend like I was playing the actual instrument. Because after all I did know the music, just not by hard!
So finally the big day came and, I wasn’t nervous any more and I did what I had to do. I was really happy about it. And Axel brought me flowers!
