Dad drove me to the big studio for the show. And I was extremley excited because on the show, I was going to be up on stage with other stars, I hadal no idea who it would be.
For those of you who don't know me, I'm Jennifer Alvera. I'm fourteen years young and I'm a solo singer and a young actress. I got my big break almost five years ago, and its been quite the journey.
" How does this look on me, Dad?" I asked presenting my red shimmering dress, diamond necklace and black shoes.
" You look straight out of the VOGUE magazine," he winked.
" This is the night Dad," I sighed.
" Why? Whats goin on?"
" Four shows tonight! and all of them are solo performances!"
" Wow-we, well give your all kid, I know you will!"
We made it into the reserved parking lot by 6:15, my manager was at the door.
" Get ready! Irene's in your dressing room." Irene is my one and only makeup designer.
" Perfect," I grinned at him, walking down the hallway. There, my name was dazzled on the door, " Jennifer Pinaud"
" Jeni, Jeni," she designer smiled, with red lipstick smaking gum, " Sit down, hon!"
I sat down in my chair, she started powdering my face in blush.
" How's life, doll?"
" Oh, you know, pretty good."
" You workin hard in school?"
" Yes......"
" Good for you! close your eyes." she started with eye liner.
" So whats the act tonight?"
" A skit, some solo dancing, more skits....I'm starting of the show with a little singing and tap dancing."
She ended the make up with midnight eye shadow, lipstick and mascara, " My work here is done!"

I looked in the mirror, " Looks great!"
" Break a leg, sweetie," Irene smiled, as she continuously smacked her chewing gum.
" Thanks!" I smiled.
" ON LIVE IN FIVE MINUTES! WHERES JENI?!"
" Welcome to the Carol Burnett show! I'm Carol Burnett, and we've got a show for you tonight. To start I'd like to present the sweetest, talented teenager I've ever met. She's sure a handful I must say! Jennifer Pinaud, everyone!"
I walk out as the crowd cheered loudly.
" Big Crowd," I thought to myself.
" How are you feelin Jen?"
" Pretty Great Carol!" I smiled.
" You ready to put on a show?"
" Oh, I was born ready," I smiled again, at the crowd.
" Take it away!" She said, walking off the stage.
" Well, hey guys! And welcome to the show! I'm going to start off by a song danced by a familiar track."
I turn to get in position for the song. An old 1920's jazz song came on. I started dancing to the music. Then I said, " Hey wait a minute...John!!! What are you doing? This isn't the song!!!!!" I shouted, the crowd laughed a bit.
" Sorry!" the music player yelled in reply.
I threw off the gloves on my fingers and took out my bun which became a poofy ponytail.
The music started playing. And I started with a few cartwheels and tap. My dance included kicks, flips and the ending pose was the splits. The crowd went wild!
" I wish I could kick my leg up that high," Carol tried, which only brought up more laughter, even I laughed.
" Well, Carol it takes lots of practice and coordination."

" Thanks for the advice, that was Jennifer Rivera for you!"
I run off to my dressing room, getting out of my first performance outfit. What a show? but my hearts racing from those cartwheels. At least my landing went well.
I heard a voice from the wall of my dressing room. There were multiple voices coming....I then heard, " Get outta my way, bro!" I suddenly felt self-concious. Wolf whistles and cat calls ramble through the walls of my dressing room. I then saw there was a hole in my dressing room.
I screamed so loud the room shook, " Um excuse you, you dogs! Mind your business...This is off limits, find someone else to wander your eyes!"
I grabbed my next outfit to walk over to studio bathroom till I ran into someone right at my door. " I'm sorry, do you know where the bathroom's are?"
I thought I saw his face peekin out the hole, " Why? You certainly know where the ladies dressing rooms are." I glared.
" Hey I'm really sorry about that," he apologized, being sincere, but a bit goofy in his voice.
" You know, GIRLS are entitled to their privacy!" I snapped.
" I know--I mean...Believe me, It wasn't my idea in the first place."
" Good," I walked off, still wearing my outfit.
" Hey wait!" I hollered, " Can I at least know your name? You were really good out there!"
I sighed," Jennifer, yours?"
" Michael," he smiled.
We shook hands.
" Well, Michael if you'd excuse me I have to change elsewhere."
I went into the bathroom and put on my comfort clothes. At least he apologized....and his smile was sweet....
Maybe, I don't know. Maybe I should just forgive and forget. Wait a minute....Michael....MICHAEL JACKSON!? I just told him off... But I had a very valid reason for it...... You don't break your neck looking at a girl through a hole in the wall. That's the lowest thing I've ever heard...literally! Man I hope I wasn't too hard of him, he did say it wasn't his idea.
