Not Invited
The Empowered Princesses
Chapter One
The Announcement
Hana loved the three seconds before she started singing.
The room would go still. Her heart would begin thumping far too fast, and a worried little voice inside her would whisper, What if you get it wrong?
Then the music would begin.
The first note would leave her mouth, the worried voice would disappear, and Hana would remember that singing was the one place where she never had to search for the right words.
At least, that was how it happened when she sang at home.
At school, things were different.
“Hana?”
She jumped and nearly dropped her phone.
Mia stood in the doorway of the empty music room, one eyebrow raised.
“Were you singing?”
“No.”
It was not a convincing answer.
Mia walked farther into the room. “I definitely heard someone.”
“It might have been coming from the rehearsal room next door.”
“The rehearsal room is locked.”
