Chapter 8

The time has come. Today the top 12 will be decided. 33 people will go home with tears in their eyes, but for the others everything will begin today.

Bridge was set in the back of the room with Sky. Syd was already gone inside waiting to hear her destiny. As always, he was shacking mad.

Sky noticed it. He didn't spoke to him. The only thing he did was putting a hand on his shoulder.

Bridge looked at him and smiled. He knew Sky cared about him. Even if he is mad at him.

In that moment the big woman who sang the day before come out of the room shouting "Mama Adele is going to the top 12!"

Bridge laughed at her and he and Sky got up to congratulate with her. Two girls were already selected. He looked around at all the people that were in the room.

In one corner, Cole and Jen were hugging tenderly. The girl didn't pass and she was crying mad.

In that moment, Syd come out with a sad face. But, when she looked at Sky and Bridge, she changed it in a smile "I made it!"

The three of them jumped with joy for the girl. Now only the two boy needed to hear their destiny. And they hoped it was as brighter as Syd's.

The girls have finished. Syd and Adele were joined by Z, the girl that dig a hole in Sky's back with her eyes, and the girls that sang "unfaithful" in Hollywood: Madison, Kira, and Ronny.

They were starting to know each other will the boys started to enter the "destiny" room.

The first one came out, and it wasn't good. Sky recognized him: he was RJ, the guy he met in Hollywood. By the look on his face, he didn't pass.

Sky felt sorry for him. He was a very good singer for him.

The second one came out, and it was Syd's time to be sad: he was Wes, the guy who tried to hit on her during Hollywood week, and he was very happy, that means that he gone trough.

Time passed by. More guys went into the room: some of them didn't pass but some others make it: Mack, Tyzonne and even Cole make it.

Only four guys were left, included Bridge and Sky.

They were divided in couple and they were going into the room. Sky and another guy were first.

Bridge quickly got up and hugged his friend "don't worry Bridge I'm not going home, I will be here with you for a long time".

With that, he entered the room to hear his future, leaving Bridge behind with the other selected guys.

After the longest three minutes of his life, Sky come out from the room with a huge smile on his face and run to Bridge "I've told you I wasn't going anywhere!"

He was the happiest guys in the World and Bridge could see it. Now it was his turn. He hoped he will be as lucky as his friends.

He set with the other guy in front of the three judges. Paula spoke "Hello guys. You're the last two, but only one of you can go in the Top 12. I have to admit, you two were the hardest, so that's why we leave you for the end"

Randy nodded "yeah she is right. You're two amazing singer, so that's why it was hard to choose. But only one of you have improved from the beginning, while the other didn't dare to go over his possibility"

Bridge was now hyperventilating. He knew they weren't talk about him.

Simon then spoke "OK. Moment of true. Bridge you passed"

The boy almost fainted. He couldn't believe it. He was in the Top 12. He thanked the Judges and run out from the room. Sky and Syd were already there waiting for him.

When he saw them, he started crying happily, with the other ten contestants screaming happily for all of them.

They moved into the Top 12 mansion the same evening. It was a huge house that will host them for all the time. One rule was that they couldn't leave it, only if they had to go to the studios or stuff like that.

The first thing they saw was a huge living room with a fireplace, a huge TV, a Playstation 3 with tons of videogame, a big DVD collection, 3 big sofas and an old-style table.

Cole noticed a card on it "hey guys! There's a message for us here!"

All of the contestants set on the sofas and the men started reading:

Everyone was happy with his roommate. Bridge was the luckiest. When he hear who he was going to share the room, he jumped from his sit screaming, making the others laugh. He blushed as always, but he was jumping also inside: he have found a good family, and he couldn't be mad with them at all.

The next morning they were all in the big dining room eating breakfast when someone knocked on the door. Ronny got up and answered, but the only thing she found was a message on the other side of the door.

She took it and went back to the others. Mack was the first one to notice what she was holding "Ronny it's our night theme right?" she nodded.

Wes then spoke "so what are you waiting for? What is it?"

She gave the card to Sky, who was the closest to her, and stormed out.

The man was shocked as everyone at the table "what's the problem with her?" asked Kira.

"I don't know. Maybe she doesn't like the theme. What is it Sky?" asked Tyzonne

"Movie Soundtrack" said Sky with a smile. It was a simple theme. "It's something easy to start the competition. Right guys?"

Everyone agreed. They journey begin with the Movies Soundtracks. A huge list of songs to choose from.
