Not Cinderella

I grabbed the tray, and held it like I was taught. I held my head high, but made sure to be as invisible as possible.
"Oh! Hansel and Gretel!" Louis said when the twins introduced each other. They managed to keep a smile on their faces. I tried not to laugh.
“No. Its Kaila.” She snapped.
“And Bailey.” Bailey chimed in, on cue. Louis nodded. Not impressed. He nodded. I placed a plate of food in front of them. No one noticed me. When I turned around, I rolled my eyes. When everyone was served, Dana nodded. And I walked to my room. I grabbed my phone and called Jay.
“Hey.” She said. I could hear One Direction in the background.
“Turn that stupid music off!” I yelled. She killed the music.
“What did the witch do this time?”
“Its not just her. I’ll explain. Just get over here!” I said. I could hear her getting her stuff together.
“Be there as soon as I can.” She pressed end.


About ten minutes later, she tapped on my door. I opened it, and she hopped in.
“What did the witch do?” I explained to her about everything. She listened. And punched a pillow at the end. She cursed under her breath. “So One Direction ignored you?” I nodded. She gasped. And shook her hand. She stood up. “Here.” She handed me a journal.
“What’s this for?” I asked. She smiled.
“Its a song journal. Its your birthday gift.” I gasped. Its my nineteenth birthday! I slapped my forehead. “Please tell me you didn’t forget.”
“I forgot.” She sighed.
“Do you know how to use that recording booth?” She pointed to the other end of my basement room that I go to when Dana has company. Which is pretty much always. This used to be the house of some famous singer.
“Yeah. I know some of the basics, at least. I’ve never really used it for singing, though.” She walked to it.
“Well, always a first for everything, right?” She said. I jumped up.
“But, what about the noise?” I asked. “Dana would kill me if I made too much racket.”
“Recording booths are sound proof. And we’ll keep the volume low.” I nodded.. She rose an eyebrow. I smiled. “Shall we?”
