Sing to Win

CHAPTER ONE

The Audition

'It's your big day tomorrow, Sofia,' says Laura to her younger sister.

'I know. I can't wait! My audition for Sing to Win!' says Sofia.

'You're an amazing singer,' says Laura. 'The judges are going to love you! Then you can be on TV, in front of millions of people!'

Sofia laughs. 'Thanks, Laura - you only say that because you're my big sister!'

The next day, Sofia is waiting for her audition. In front of her, there is a girl with pink hair.

'Hey,' Sofia says. 'I love your hair!'

'Thanks - I like yours, too,' says the girl.

Just then, a reporter arrives. 'How are you feeling, girls?'

'Excited!' they say together. Then they laugh.

'Are you sisters?' the reporter asks.

'Er, no,' says Sofia.

'Friends?'

'Well, yes - we are now!' says the girl. 'I'm Emma,' she says to Sofia.

Soon, it is Emma's audition.

'Here's my number,' says Sofia. 'Text me after your audition.'

'OK!' Emma says.

'And good luck!'

'Thanks! You too.' Emma smiles.

Now it is Sofia's audition. The judges are watching her, and everyone is very quiet. Suddenly, she feels nervous. 'This is it,' she thinks.

She sings well, and two of the judges say 'yes.' But she needs 'yes' from all three judges, or she cannot be in Sing to Win.

Sofia waits nervously. After a long minute, the third judge says, 'OK, yes.'

'Wow!' says Sofia happily, and claps her hands.
