Maribel Moreno 6th period final draft

The Notes
“Hi, what are you doing are you asleep yet Athena?” I Athena. “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, The fact that Axel is going to be there, and watching me perform I just wish that I didn’t get this much nervous, because its not really helping me at all. “What do you think about it, Athena?” But Athena did not answer me, she had fallen asleep. In that night I could not sleep and so many thoughts came to my mind, and even my conductor’s face show in my dream. Then around 3 in the morning I finally fell 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 worriedly. When I heard that I wanted the floor to just open up and to eat me, I know 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, My mom was going to find out that I like Axel. 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. I pulled 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 serious?” Armand with his mouth looking like he was about to drop it exclaim. I said, “Yes I’m serious!”
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! I felt very confident while doing it and when the show ended everyone clapped with satisfaction. To my surprise I saw Axel with a whole bunch of flowers!” They’re probable for someone prettier than me. “I thought. He walked past me and grabbed my waist and said. “They’re for you beautiful.” I felt my cheeks blush so hard! What I am sure of is that my nightmare turned into the best day of my life!
