I'm so sorry I didn't get to update sooner. I just got caught up with a project overload

Anyway, you all should take note that both Kris and Megan were never married or had children.

"Wow." Allison said in awe. She's watching Adam perform 'Believe' by Cher in front of the judges. He has that capturing charm that makes his audience captivated and breathless. It's like he is demanding for attention which he fully deserves.

Allison is sitting at the front row with her newfound friend, Jasmine Murray, sitting on her right. She just completed her performance just a few minutes ago and received some unexpectedly positive reviews.

Adam finished and Allison guessed that he would receive praises. She felt her hands ball into a fist as she listened to the way Kara remarked that Adam's performance is 'too dramatic' and 'very theatrical'. She felt like she wants to stand up and shout at the top of her voice, "Are you deaf? How could you give a comment like that to a perfect performance?!"

It seems like Jasmine read her mind. She held her balled fists and whispered, "Don't worry. He's too good to be out." Allison calmed down and relaxed.

Her attention shifted back to Adam, wondering how he would respond. To her surprise, he just asked calmly what the word 'theatrical' means to Kara. He stated that he's a little confused on what she is trying to say.

Kara replied and it is quite evident that he is listening to every word the judge says. His calm face and sincere thanks to Kara after she responded earned him respect and admiration from not only Allison, but from the other contestants too.

He stepped down the stage gracefully, like he's moving in slow motion, as he approached Allison. He sat beside the vacant seat on Allison's left, which he occupied before he performed. "So, what do you think?"

The red-head was about to respond but his smile made her brain feel like mush. Jasmine, who is kind of aware of Allison's crush on Adam, stepped into rescue her friend from babbling nonsense. "It's totally amazing. You're so on your way to the finals."

But his gaze is still on Allison, as if asking her what's on her mind. "It's good." is all that her mouth managed to say without stuttering. 'It's good'? Of all the amazing things you could say about him, all you could think of is 'It's good'!?, Allison scolded herself.

"Um, thanks." He replied. He stood up when he heard Kris Allen, another contestant, calling him. "I gotta go. Kris probably needs some confidence boost." he explained. Kris is the guy Adam usually hangs out with, stating that he needs some 'guy time'.

As soon as Adam left, a blond girl walked pass Allison and Jasmine, throwing an icy gaze that reminded Allison of the saying 'If looks could kill…'. She couldn't help but ask Jasmine, "Who's she?"

"Oh, just don't mind her. She's Megan Corckey, the snobby little wannabe I told you about yesterday." Her friend reminded her.

"Oh." Allison's gaze followed her as she made her way to the stage. Apparently, she's the next performer. The blonde grabbed the mic and sang her heart out. The panel of judges literally praised her. She smiled them her perfect set of teeth and went down the stairs.

Allison felt her face turn as red as her hair as Megan turned to Adam and winked, obviously flirting with him.

Adam barely noticed toxicating smirk because he's too busy teaching Kris how to overcome stage fright, which he really needs.

"Dude," Kris called his attention, "that chick's totally hitting on you! How could you ignore that?"

Adam turned to where Kris is pointing and saw a blonde girl, red-faced after her rejection. "Nah, she's not my type." Adam's eyes roamed around the room and dropped on Allison. "I sort of already have my eyes on someone else."

Kris evidently didn't see who Adam is looking at. "Um, speaking of that matter, I kinda need your help big time."

"Oh…" the taller guy said in recognition. "You need some advice with the ladies."

"You're close with Allison, right?"

"Um, yeah." Adam replied, worried about where their conversation is heading.

"I kinda like her." Adam felt a twinge of pain when he listened to Kris' confession. "And I would appreciate it if you help me court her. You know, like a wingman or something."

He couldn't say no to that kind of pleading. As if there's no other choice, he reluctantly said, " Yeah, I guess so.", trying to conceal the ache he's currently feeling.
