The Dream Of An Idol
"Dad! DAD! DAD!!! Don't go, please!"
"huh...Lena... Is that...you?"
"Dad! Can't you see me!? I'm right here, right in front of you!"
"Lena,... listen... to me...we both know what's going to happen...."
"No! I'll take care of you, you'll live!"
"see?...you said it yourself,...even your second guessing my remaining lifetime....."
"No wa-"
"But promise me, that Lena Alec will never be an idol...."
"Wh-what's that supposed to mean dad....!?"
"Your..........name..........hide it. There....are.......dangerous...people..out...there........"
And then his eyes closed for good.
I woke up to find dried tears on my face. I had that dream again.... just why did this have to happen? Oh right, I forgot, it's all that stupid mysterious murderers fault. I swear, I will find him, and when I do, I'll make him pay! Along with Carlos' and Carmen's help of course, they're just as mad about it as I am.
— Carlos Kei and Carmen Kei were two members of 'Inderect' one of the top 10 greatest bands of all time, my father's (and mother's before she died) band, they were also my fathers childhood friends. Of course, they had to recruit a new singer because.... well, of my dads.... death. They ended up recruiting another couple; Stacy(Lee) and Jin Lee. Jin is a bassist and Stacy's a vocalist. None of us wanted to let the public know about my fathers death so we ended up leaving it at my father quitting the industry, which was the same excuse we used when he went to the Hospital. The hospital assured that there would be no leak of anything that had to do with him. —
"Yoooo, Lena! Wake up! We gotta goooo!!" a voice called from downstairs, it was Uncle Carlos.
Go where? I thought for a second. "SuperStar!!" I exclaimed.
Oh no! It was 8:20 AM already! I gotta get there before 8:45! I put on some jeans and a white-red ombré shirt. I rushed downstairs, skipping steps on the way, to where breakfast was waiting for me. I sat down and started scarfing down my food, meanwhile Aunt Carmen decided to make a fishtail braid for me saying that it was because it added a "special touch" (🙄) to my look.
We drove there in one of our non-expensive sports cars, so as not to attract attention, and stopped at a building made almost completely with glass. In front of the building was a billboard that said; 'SuperStar; Where Dreams Can Become Reality' (BNHA/MHA fans, where y'all at? 😏) This was it. I checked my watch, it was 8:40, thank God I made it on time.
I went into the building, walked up to the reception desk, with my guitar slinged behind my back and said:
"Hi, I'd like to sign up for SuperStar"
The person sitting there nodded and got out a list, "Sign your name please" they said.
I grabbed the list, Paused for a second, and wrote 'Ashlynn Jay Aaron'.
The person at the reception desk gave me a badge that had the number 800 on it, wow I thought, I'm up against 799 people...
I followed their directions and went to the waiting area for the contestants.
Someone on a loud speaker said, "Welcome contestants, to SuperStar! Where Dreams Can Become Reality! My name is William Jives and I, will be the host of the first episode of SuperStar season 10! And pretty much the rest of the season as well!"
"Aye! Hurry up will you? I don't have time to waste." said a voice from the background.
"Omg!!"
"Ahhh, my Sharp Tongued Prince!"
"Wadda' ya' mean? That brat Leo should leave the industry!"
"It's really is him!"
"Ugh, I can't believe that he actually came!"
"I can't believe it!"
"Kyaa! Leo Lexin!"
What the hell? People suddenly just started fangirling and hating over some dude on the microphone!? I was dumbstruck about how excited they were over the guy.
"Calm Down everyone, calm down. I will be calling on the numbers of the participants once the show starts shortly. Goodbye for now! 😜" The guy named William said.
It was quiet for a while but then everyone resumed talking together. It seemed like most of them were doing a duet with their friends.
Just then, I realized that I was one of the few people who didn't dress up. I mean, I was singing my dad and mom's debut song while wearing my mom's old clothes, so I guess I wore this and chose this song in memory of my parents, so I guess I kinda did dress up(with my fishtail braid and all).
I got up and went to the bathroom, Once I finished, I heard some commotion outside, in the hallway. What's all the noise about? I wondered to myself.
Things to know in this chapter:
- SuperStar is a famous contest that helps idols debut. It occurs in Eastern America, Eastern Japan, and Eastern China. They are all their own contests that happen once a year in each country.
