Tina Kennard

My cellphone wakes me up and I silently curse the person that got it in his head to text me on this inhuman hour. I rub my eyes and grab my cellphone. It’s a message from Seth.

Are u nervous 4 2nite?

My head falls back in my pillow – everything to do with gravity. I look at my watch, it’s fucking 6 AM! How the hell can he be awake already. I’m too lazy to send something back and I don’t want him to think that it’s okay to go wake people this early when they are supposed to be resting.

Yesterday, we had the final practice. The girls were there as well, it was the first time they heard me singing Bette’s song and all of them told me how well I did. To my pleasure, we have all agreed that the song should remain acoustic. It will only be Bette and me on stage – perfect. Gary will be on the background supporting Bette with his guitar. We all know how strong this song is to Bette and in case she doesn’t make it, he’s there to save her ass. I am the only one who know he will have to save her ass.

Once I wake up, I’m never able to get back to sleep. So, thanks to Seth, a long day lies ahead of me. I was hoping to stay in bed for a couple of more hours, but it won’t be with my eyes closed. I decide to just get up then. I go to the bathroom and have a cold shower.

I’m really hungry but I know my mom will kill me if I have breakfast without them – she insists that it should be a family thing. Only Ken is excused, after he has gone out the night before. She never says I don’t have to make it at the breakfast table, but I’m Tina. I’m Tina, the one who’s in high school, young and strong. If you can party till the small hours, you have to get up in the morning. Random mother quotes that apply for each and everyone of us, except for Ken, because he serves the country.
