Chapter 1: Audition
The alarm went on again. I ground on put it on snooze for maybe the third or fourth time, I don't know, I lost count. I wanted to continue my dream so I went back to sleep.
My room was like a dream house. My parents paid extra so that I could get the fanciest room in the school. Of course, that's to be expected from the daughter of Yuka and Izumi Yukihara. I didn't like the special treatment because the room was farther away from my friends' room and because there was only one other room that was occupied there, though I don't know who it was in there because I just moved into the school yesterday.
"Wake up baka, you're gonna be late for the auditions," My best friend, Hotaru, said.
I ignored her and till the words clicked in my head. I shot up from my bed and looked at the clock. "Shit, shit, shit…" was all that was running in my mind as I got ready. I grabbed a white t-shirt with a black skull on it, and my black mini skirt.
"Why didn't you wake me up earlier Hotaru, you know this is important to me," I said putting on my black and white stockings.
"It's not my job, besides you're not late, the audition is the whole day…" Hotaru said.
"But if you go earlier, you don't have to wait," I said interrupting her.
"Interrupt me again, and there would be no future for you," Hotaru said pulling out her baka bazooka.
"Sorry," I replied, sweet dropping.
I ran downstairs and ate my breakfast, brushed my teeth and wore my shoes.
Hotaru pointed at the clock. I swore grabbed my jacket and house keys and left the room, Hotaru right on my heels. I looked to my left, only to see the door look as it was yesterday as if no one was there. They told me someone was there but I just got the feeling that the person wasn't always in their room. I just shrugged and headed off with Hotaru to the school's campus.
There was an Alice Idol, kind of like American Idol except it's only for people who are attending the elite "Alice Academy" for the rich. Today was there last stop, Alice Academy of Tokyo, so she had to travel all the way to Tokyo from Hokkaido so she can audition. Her parents only excepted because they were already planning to move her to Tokyo.
We reached the entrance only to find it crowding with students anticipating their turn. I dropped my information and got my number which was '45'. I sat down with Hotaru in the waiting room just as a girl was leaving with tears in her eyes. "Oh God help me, I'm started to get nervous." I thought as I looked at the poor girl leaving with her parents trying to calm her down. Hotaru grabbed my hands and squeezed it, "don't worry, you're going to do great," was all she said.
My phone started buzzing. I looked at it.
1 message received
I opened it

And 1 last surprise, WERE GONNA COME SEE U IF U GET IN!!!!! All our parents finally accepted, hehehe
xoxoxo
Nonoko, Anna, Sumire, and the whole class
I almost got teary eyes as I read this, and I was suddenly full of confidence. Everyone was waiting for me. That was all that was running in my head. Some girls got accepted and I was happy with them and some girls got rejected and I felt sad for them but all through that 'my friends were waiting for me, they're sure" that's what made me confident.
Finally it was my turn, I looked back at Hotaru and she nodded and gave me a small smile as she got up with me. We walked with the host who started asking me questions and there was a camera following him.
"So is this your first time auditioning," he asked
"Ya, I just turned sixteen on January," I replied.
"So why did you join Alice Idol? Was it your dream to go there," He asked.
"Well, when I was a kid I used to watch Alice Idol and I used to sing along with the songs that I recognize and when I grew up, I set my goal to enter," I said with a smile.
"So do you work?" he asked.
"I used to work at this karaoke place, but now I stopped because of some reasons," I said chuckling to hide my nervousness.
"Well, anyways here you are, good luck," he said gesturing to the door.
As I entered I began to go over the songs I choose. I had many songs in mind but I was only going to play one depending on their mood.
I finally reached and looked at the judges. They looked almost the same but also different from when I see them on TV. I guess it true what they say about 'the look different if u see them in person.'
"Hi," I said feeling awkward, I mean what would you do if you seen a famous person in real life. Nope I wouldn't go gushing around and asking for a signature.
"So you are Mikan Izumi?" said Kaori as she looked at the papers in front of her.
"No, I'd prefer it if you call me Mikan Sakura," I replied.
"Why is that?" asked Kaori as she looked questioningly at me.
"Umm….. Its personal," I replied fidgeting at the look she gave me.
"Well Sakura-san, what song are you gonna sing for us," Kaori asked.
"When I look at you by Miley Cyrus," I replied as the song lyrics started going through my head.
Kaori gestured for me to start so I took a breath and closed my eyes as I started singing. All the nervousness and worries were gone.
Everybody needs inspiration,
Everybody needs a song
A beautiful melody
When the nights so long
Cause there is no guarantee
That this life is easy...
Yea when my world is falling apart
When there's no light to break up the dark
That's when I, I...
I look at you
When the waves
Are flooding the shore and I can't
Find my way home anymore
That's when I, I...
I look at you
I opened my eyes and looked at the judges.
"That was amazing," said Kaori as she started to clap her hands. "That's was the best performance I had seen."
I had big smile plastered on my face as I looked at the other 2 judges.
"I couldn't agree more to that performance, it's like there was music while you sang, it was absolutely fantastic," said Shin as he looked at me and started clapping.
"I would agree with Shin, you might even be the next winner of Alice Idol if you keep this up, not only that you look really pretty but your voice sounds really amazing, I bet you can sing any type of song with that voice. I have to say that was an awesome performance," Ryo said as he also joined in with the clapping.
I was so happy and even saying that was an understatement. I was overjoyed with what they said.
"So is it a yes," Kaori said as she looked at the other 2 judges.
"Definitely," Ryo said
"Yes," Shin said.
"You're going to Hollywood," they said together.
I was squealing with happiness. I couldn't believe what I just heard. They gave me they paper and I walked to the door. When I opened it I looked at Hotaru and squealed," I GOT ACCEPTED!" She hugged me and gave me an I-told-you-so look and I hugged her back. I picked up the phone and dialed the familiar number that belonged to Anna and waited. After 1 ring she picked up and I put her on loudspeaker.
"Hey Mikan, did you get in," She said and I could hear the background sound becoming anxious.
I took a breath and said," YES EVERYONE, I GOT IN!"
They were all cheering and they all congratulated me. I hung up as me and Hotaru walked into the waiting room and told everyone that I got in. They were all happy for me and I wished them luck as I grabbed Hotaru's hand and walked to the dorm. I was glad I didn't unpack so I was all set up for the flight to Hollywood.
We didn't want to go to the room so early so we walked around and shopped for some stuff we're going to need there. Hotaru, of course, was coming with me so we bought for the 2 of us.
By the time we finished shopping and all it was 7:15 so we went to the rooms. We changed into our pajamas, made some hot chocolate and watched a movie. After that we went to our bedrooms.
As I sat on my bed, I started reminiscing on what happened today and I smiled. I just couldn't wait for tomorrow.
So what do you think?? Good, bad. Tell me
The personality for the judges are as follows:
-) Ryo is like Randy
-) Koari is like Kara
-) Shun is like Simon
