I was the next one going on stage. There were so many talented people compeating. I have no chance beeting them. Math geniuses, jugling clowns, stand up comedians, cheerleeders, real musicians. Annabeth and Piper were right. This competition held me distracted from Leo, but what was I supposed to do when it's over. What if I make a fool out of myself.
"NEXT UP, CAMILA GRACIA"
They called my name. There was no turning back now. I walked on stage, I used like 45 secomds of scanning the audience. Laurel and her friends. Annabeth, Piper, Percy, Jason, George, and Leo stood in a corner in the back row. I took 4 to 5 deep breaths. I grabbed the mic and it made a loud squeeling sound. I heared some 'boooing'.
"Um.. eeh.. I'm going to sing Why by Sabrina Carpenter." I said.
I placed it back into the mic, and the same sound appeared. The audience was getting really annoyed. I sat down on the stool and turned the guitar over.

"You like New York city in the daytime
I like New York city in the nighttime
You say you like sleeping with the air off
I don't, I need it on
You like the light coming through the windows
I sleep late, so I just keep 'em all closed
You ignore the music on the radio
I don't, I sing-a-long

I don't ask for you to change, baby no no no
And you don't ask for me to change

Tell me how we're not alike
But we work so well and we don't even know why
Funny how the stars crossed right
'Cause we work so well and we don't even know why
You can call it fire and ice
But we work so well and we don't even know why
We don't even know why, no no
We don't even know why, no no no

Cold outside and you're just in a t-shirt
I have cold blood even in a sweater
You start your night sippin' by the kilo
I don't, I know you know

I don't ask for you to change, baby no no no
And you don't ask for me to change

Tell me how we're not alike
But we work so well and we don't even know why
Funny how the stars crossed right
'Cause we work so well and we don't even know why
You can call it fire and ice
But we work so well and we don't even know why
We don't even know why, no no (no no no)
We don't even know why, no no no

Somehow we end up on the same side
And you wouldn't think that we'd be alright
Even our eyes are different colors, but we see fine
Somehow we end up on the same side
And you wouldn't think that we'd be alright
Even our eyes are different colors, but we see fine

tell me how we're not alike
But we work so well and we don't even know why ('cause we work so well and we don't even know why, why)
Funny how the stars crossed right 'cause we work so well and we don't even know why
You can call it fire and ice
But we work so well and we don't even know why ('cause we work so well and we don't even know why, why)
We don't even know why, no no
We don't even know why, no no no"

The whole crowd cheered. My eyes watered. I was crying. I had to run away. NOW.
