Lost In Beauty-

Wednesday, August 22, 2007

Everybody was seated down in the hall, waiting for the Teacher's Day concert to start . The teachers were all very excited and were chatting non-stop.
Janice walked stiffly in her dance costume to backstage. She was going to perform a dance with her friend, Lucinda. They had practised their dance for two months and they were very nervous. Lucinda claimed that she was feeling butterflies in her stomach.
The 'hostess' of the concert, Lizzy, quietened everybody down. "Please keep your voices down. For our very first item, we will be having a dance. Please welcome Janice Taylor and Lucinda Wong from class 5C."
Janice whispered to Lucinda, 'Good luck!" Lucinda nodded. They leapt onto the stage as soon as they heard the music. They cartwheeled gracefully and did amazing stunts like doing a somersault. Everybody applauded loudly. As the beat of the music changed, they leapt into the air and cartwheeled again. Lucinda cartwheeled a split second too late and accidentally knocked Janice down. Everyone fell silent. The two girls sat down on the stage , massaging the agonizing bump on thier heads. Many students pointed at them and started laughing. Some of the boys wolf-whistled and even the teachers started to laugh too. This was too much for Janice. She fought back her tears but to no avail. Hot, angry tears flowed down her cheeks.
Janice glared at Lucinda. ''Think of an idea to get us out of this mess for you caused it!''Lucinda nodded her head and Janice saw a grin play about her lips and she knew something funny was about to happen. Lucinda stood up.
''Let's hope you've enjoyed our show.You must have had a good laugh! Happy Teacher's Day to all teachers.'' Lucinda said politely. With that, she bowed, pulled Janice's hand and walked off, leaving the audience of eight hundred stunned. Everyone started to clap.
Outside, Janice smiled at Lucinda. ''Thanks!'' Lucinda smiled.''That's what friends are for.''
