My heart was racing. I was filled with exhilaration. I had never felt so amazing.

"Good job, Souma-san!" Maki said after we were done, "You really saved us."

"It's okay," I answered, trembling slightly with excitement.

The band left after giving me many compliments. I stayed back to regain myself.

I was then trampled by my mother.

"Sweetie! You sounded great!" she squealed.

"We're really proud of you, Kiddo!" Dad said.

"Why didn't tell me you were singing, too?" my mom pondered.

"Because I didn't know I was. Yamabuki-san forgot the lyrics, so I ended having to do it," I explained.

"Yamabuki... I've heard that name before..."

My dad tried to stifle laughter, "I'll tell you later, Honey."

"Thanks for coming," I said.

"We wouldn't have missed it for anything. Tonight, we're celebrating. After the festival, we'll order your favorite take-out," Dad said.

"Thanks! I can't wait!" I smiled.

"See you later, Sweetie," Mom said before they left.

It was time to face the school. Hopefully, I could buy a souvenir without getting mobbed. I was wrong. The instant I stepped out, a group of 3rd graders ambushed me.

"Souma-senpai, you were so cool!"

"You sounded so awesome!"

"You're definitely the best!"

"Uh, thanks." I maneuvered around them. I decided to get more takiyaki. All around me I heard squeals and whispers. I ignored it and strolled up to the booth.

"Hey! Aren't you the girl that sang today?" the girl who ran the booth asked. I sighed. What has this world come to where you can't buy takiyaki without being questioned?

"Y-yeah," I answered.

"That's so cool!" she gleamed.

"Thanks." I payed her and left. I decided to go back to my classroom and sit down until the festival was over.

Fortunately, our classroom all had kids with booths outside, so I could finally be alone.

Unfortunately, on the way there, I ran right into Adrienne.

"Hi, Akira-chan," she said in a sickly sweet voice.

"Uh, hi," I replied brilliantly.

"Did you read the letter?" she asked bluntly.

"N-No," I lied. She eyed me curiously.

"Please consider it. Take care of that lock and yourself. Goodbye." She waved at me gracefully and walked away.

No fair!

Even angrier now, I skulked to my classroom.

Once I sat down, I opened my bag and pulled out the lock. What was it? And why me?

After finishing my takiyaki and sitting there for an hour thinking about the lock, the intercom finally bleeped.

"The festival is now over. Please head home now. We hope you had a great day!"

Finally. I grabbed my bag and practically ran out. I saw the car and scooted in. We pulled around the house and I jumped out.

"Thank you!" I yelled to the driver as I ran to the door. "I'm home!"

"Hi, Sweetie!" Mom called from the living room, "I just ordered, so it should be here any minute!"

"Okay! I'm gonna go change!" I ran up the stairs to my room. I put on a dark purple skirt and knee high black socks. I switched my uniform top for a long sleeved blue shirt and black belt. Lastly, I slipped on a white bracelet and headed downstairs.

I could smell the noodles and my stomach grumbled.

"C'mon, Kiddo!" Dad yelled.

"I'm coming!" I strolled into the kitchen where everything was set up. I sat down where my parents were waiting.

"Itadakimasu!" I dug in heartily. Twenty minutes later, my mom's cell phone rang. She picked it up, "Sanjo-san? Okay. Excuse me," she told us and left the room.

"She probably has a new concert coming up," Dad said. Mom came back, "I'm having a new concert!"

"You called it, Dad." He smiled.

"It's going to be in Kyoto, so I have to leave for about two days," she informed us. I thought about her manager's name.

"Hey, does Sanjo-san have anything to do with Karen and Jun?"

"Of course. She's their aunt," Mom said obviously.

DUH!

"O-Oh," I replied dumbly. My mom smiled.

"She doesn't go by 'Sanjo' anymore. I only call her that to tease her," She looked at me worriedly, "I hope I don't miss much while I'm gone. I'll call everyday, okay?"

"Don't worry, Honey," Dad ensured," We'll be fine."

We finished eating, so I headed upstairs to take a shower. Afterward, I headed to bed.

"Mom! I'm going to bed, okay?" I yelled.

"You finished your shower? Would you like a glass of milk?" she asked.

"Why would I want that?"

"I was told it felt really good after a shower," she answered.

"I wonder who told you that." I muttered to myself. "No thanks!" I yelled back.

After I was snug in my pajamas, I climbed into my bed. I remembered the feeling I had today on stage and prayed.

Please God, make that happen again. Let me live my life my way. Let me be able to feel that sensation again. Let me be who I want to be.

I turned off my lamp and fell asleep.

The next morning, I woke up with an egg in my bed.

A/N: So how was it? The egg is so totally cute! Itz background is a light yellow, then there's a thick, wavy, orange line. On the middle of the line is a yellow star, with little things sticking out of it. then on the start thingy is a mic.

Elaine: Ooo! Very nice! I wonder what my egg would look like.........

Zadie: Mine would be the awesomest in the world!

Elaine: U wanna bet?

Zadie: You think yours would be better than mine?

Elaine: It would be the best!!!!

Zadie: Well, you can just-

Alice: OKAY BYE!!!!! (plz review!!!)
