Stuck Inside The Lines- A Greyson Chance Friend Story

"It's okay, Greyson! You're gonna be awesome!" I said, grabbing my friend by both of his shoulders and making him look me in the eye. Greyson was having a little bit of stage fright. He offered to play his piano and sing for the rest of the school. I kept begging him to tell me what song he would sing, but he kept saying, it's a surprise.
Greyson looked at me and took a deep breath after a moment. "You're right," he said.
I smiled. "I always am, aren't I?"
He grinned back and rolled his eyes. "Of course. Besides I do this on YouTube all the time. Why should this be any different?" I let go of his shoulders and nudged his shoulder with my shoulder. "There's my best friend, I was wondering where you had gone,"
Greyson just nudged me back and smiled. All of a sudden, I heard our teacher's voice coming from the stage.
"Everyone, settle down! Today, a student of ours has offered to play a song for you. Everyone, give a round of applause to our very own, Greyson Chance!!" I heard the applause coming from everyone and looked at Greyson.
"I have to go get my seat but dont worry, I'll be right where you can see me if you get nervous. Good luck!" I said. Greyson just nodded. He looked pretty nervous. I left the back of the stage and went to my seat, two rows away from the stage.
A few seconds after I had sat down, Greyson came out from backstage. Everyone clapped for him again. He smile at them and sat down at the silky smooth black piano set up in the middle of the stage. I saw his mom with a video camara on the side of the stage. She saw me and I waved to her. She smiled and waved back.
Greyson laid his fingers across the piano keys. The auditorium got really quiet. Then he started playing.
I had known Greyson for forever, but his piano playing always amazed me. His fingers moved across the black and white keys of the piano so effortlessly. Although, with Greyson, nothing was truly ever "just black and white."
Anyway, back to the performance. He started playing and I was still a little puzzled on what he was playing. Then he opened his mouth and started singing.
I felt my mouth drop open. He was singing Paparazzi by Lady Gaga, aka my favorite song ever!! But that wasn't the only thing that amazed me. He made it sound even more amazing when he sang it.
I looked to the side of the stage opposite from Greyson's mom and stifled a giggle. The girls over there had their mouths wide open like they couldn't believe what they were hearing.
When he got to the "baby, you'll be famous" part, he glanced over at me and winked. I laughed. He knew that I always thought, no, KNEW he was going to be famous one day. He didn't believe me though. This boy just never gave himself enough credit!!
Greyson finished the song, stood up, and bowed. The whole auditorium exploded in applause. I, of course, was clapping the loudest. The teacher came back over to the microphone. "Well, I dont know about you, but I think he just taught Lady Gaga a lesson," I laughed along with everyone else.
When we started leaving the auditorium, I walked over to Greyson's mom. "He was amazing!!" I said to her.
"I know!!" she said back. She pulled me in for a hug. Once she finally let me go, I said "I'm going to find Greyson,"
"You do that. I have to left anyway. Bye Adana!!" she replied, walking out the door.
I followed her out the door and went on my way to find Greyson.
