Chapter 12 - A New Name For The Band
Nina's POV
I came out the of the bathroom in our dressing room at the X-Off with a light blue ruffle dress that ended at my knees with white boots. I straightened my hair, put it back with a blue headband and clear glass earrings. My makeup was little, blue eye shadow, mascara, a deep blusher and pink lipstick. I'm petty sure I looked different than usual.
I sat down next to Joy who was wearing a tropical maxi dress down to her ankles with gladiator sandals. Her hair was plaited to the side messily, hiding one of her studs cleverly. She had done smokey eyes as well as hot pink lipstick.
"Right Ace, If you knew us as Nina and Joy would you see us as Nines and J?" I asked. He rubbed his chin as if thinking before shaking his head. No. I grinned.
"Guys, we still have to think of our name." Joy reminded us. My smile quickly faded.
"Hm.. We each pick one and we vote?" Ace decided. We all nodded.
"I think Evolve." Joy said.
"I like Blaze." Ace added.
"Hm.. Pucker?" I came up with. I groaned. They all were good but they didn't sound right.
"Guys, why can't we think of this!? Sure the old one was come and go but this one has to stay!" Joy moaned.
"Wait wait wait! J that's genius! Come and Go!" I yelled.
"That's perfect!" Ace agreed happily.
"Okay, let's go tell the presenter." I decided. We all nodded and walked out, passing Caroline who was screaming into her phone. The others walked away while I listened in.
"What do you mean the seats were changed?!" She screeched. She paused, letting the other person talk before hanging up and kicking the wall. Anger issues much.
"Okay, our name has been finalized!" Ace told me as he and Joy came back.
"Right, were up after Caro so we can watch her." Joy said. I nodded. Let's see how she is without us.
"First up is our new solo: Blax!"
Caro strutted onto the stage in 4 inch killer heels, booty shorts and a low cut tank. Slut much. Then the music started.
Really gon' make me
Expose you for exactly what you are, you are
And I'm feeling a little wavy
So right now I don't mind pulling your card
And as hard as you try
To hide reality, why
We know the truth
(So act brand new if you want to)
She gave us a little wave and a smirk before dancing to the beat. She pointed at someone in the audience while singing the next bit but I knew she was aiming it at us.
But what would you be without me?
Where would you be without me?
So what you blowing up just a little
They knowing you a little
Don't give a finger in the middle
Cause little nigga you will never be without me
Where would you be without me?
So what you blowing up just a little
They knowing you a little
Don't give a finger in the middle
Cause little thing you will never be
Caroline finished with a twist of her tips and one finally smirk and wink before strutting off the stage. That little bitch!
"Hey guys, liked the song?" She smiled deviously at us before walking off.
"Guys were changing the song to 'Better Than You'!" I growled. They nodded quickly at my voice.
"Next up we have three members of the former Blax, but now as Come and Go!"
We all hurried onto the stage and took our positions. I squinted to see if I could spot the Anubis lot at the back but I couldn't over the darkness. Good Job B! We waited for the music to start up with our heads down, all of us singing the intro.
I can do it better than, better than you.
Better than, better than you.
Better than, better than you.
I can tell that you're watching me,
And I know you're loving everything that you see.
The way I gotcha going crazy,
I'll make you wanna dance with me.
Now I'm walking 'round like I just don't care,
Got everybody lookin' like I'm a true player.
So what's up? So what's up?
I see you staring, but I ain't mad at that.
I know you do you, and I do me right back.
I spotted Caro standing in the wing, crossed armed and looking furious. I gestured to her, singing the song.
Ready to go, oh,
Sure you wanna play this game?
I can do it better than, better than you.
I can do it better than, better than you.
So baby let's go, oh,
I know you won't forget about me.
I can do it better than, better than you.
I can do it better than, better than you.
We finished with a pose. We all bowed before going off the stage to meet a fuming Caro.
"This is so not over. Be prepared Nina." Caro stalked off leaving us confused.
"Finally the 8 acts have performed! 2 will be eliminated! I'm sorry to say that LaLaLand and HopScotch are leaving tonight!" The crowd once again booed and cheered. I laughed to myself. The thought of Caro and Come and Go in the finals would be ironic. I still couldn't believe were still in this.
I walked around the corner getting food for Ace and Joy when I heard Caro's familiar click clock of her heels. I stopped at the corner and peered around.
She was talking to Patricia.
"This is all you need, I promise." Caro handed a little bag over to Patricia who clutched it greedily in her hands. They looked at it before walking away in different directions.
1000000 Pounds that it's something for me.
A/N - Down to 6 contestants and something for Nina. :3 I feel the tension. But do you know what's missing? LOVE! I haven't actually added any mushy stuff! D: I promise some stuff in the next chapter ;)
Shoutouts:
Artsoccer - I know what you mean by hardly any Fabina, but if you go right back to the when the show started nearly ALL of them were Fabina.
Dark Angel aka DementiaJackson - Lol that is ironic! I bet by the end of this your going to want to kill her ;)
