Can we be friends?

I was standing in the palc. The 3 judges were staring at me.

The woman judge said:

—Which song are you going to sing?

—I'm going to sing lovely.

—Go ahead.

I heard the music beginning. I started:

—"I thought I found a way

I thought I found a way ahh..

But you never go away"...

I changed the tune of the chorus, my voice is strong and melodic, with a bit of malincony.

When I finished, the judges looked stunned.

Am I too bad?

The judges said:

—It's incredible! You are sure a talent!

—It's even better than the original! You have a future!

—One of the best audition I have ever heard in my whole life!

They are...happy! But it still feels strange to be appreciated by someone...

I went back to my sit.

The blonde girl that talked to me earlier approached me.

She said:

—You....

Is she going to throw a tantrum cuz I am good?

I was going to cover my ears but...

—You are SO GOOD!

—Eh?

She didn't get mad!?

She continued:

—Ehm..please forgive me if I've been arrogant earlier. This is my way to relax, I know it's strange..

—Don't worry...

She sat beside me and touched my hand.

I said:

—ah!

I'm not used to be touched by others, it's so strange...

The girl didn't take back her hands. She said:

—What's up girl?

—Nothing..It's just I'm not used to be touched be others..

—I understand. Then let me get you used!

—Ehm?

She hold both my hand with hers. It feels so warm and comfortable. Nobody ever held my hands like that.

I said:

—Th-thank you...very much..

—It's nothing! Anyway my name is Sofia. What's your name?

—Musa.

—Can we be friends Musa?

—Aren't you...afraid of me Sofia..?

—What? Why should I? You are so cute!

A friend? I never had a friend...This is too sudden..It feels so weird...But deep inside me, I want someone go be friends with and care about.

I said:

—Yes.

We exchanged numbers while the audition was ending. The result will be announced soon.

All the singers were standing in a soldier line, Sofia was beside me.

A judge said:

—Well, I have to tell that I am very surprised by some guys but unluckily only 3 will pass.

They are Sofia, Yumi and Musa! An applause to them!

All the singers were applauding us.

I ....did it! I passed!

Suddenly Sofia hugged me and jumped like a rabbit.

—Yes Musa! We did it! And we are togheter!

—Y-yes! We did it!

I went home. When I entered I saw my brother James standing in front of me.

He said:

— Did you pass?

—Yes!

He was really happy, and me too.

We sat in the living room, it was already night.

James said:

—There's only one week left! You have to practice hard! I heard that Yato Loniko is a judge!

—What?

—You know that he's arrogant and very sharp tongued, it will be very hard to impress him. He made cry countless singers. So you have to work hard.

—Yes!

Everyone knows Yato. He's one of the most famous singers in the whole country. He has plentless fangirls cuz he's talented and...

Cuz he's handsome. He once made cry a talented girl only because she didn't reach one high note, so cruel!

If I want to impress him I must work hard. There's only one week!
