.
.
The bell rang signifying the end of the clas-s.
“Yippee”! I exclaimed loudly as I packed my book into my backpack and sling it across my shoulders.
I stood up from my seat and walked up to my bestie. Zara has been my bestie from elementary grade and I can’t trade her for anything.
Zara! I called studying her, she looked tensed. What is wrong?
She looked at me and sighed
“I really nee-d help candy”
“What is wrong bestie?
“I am trying to solve this equation but I am finding it difficult”. She sighed
I tilted my head a little to get a clearer view of what she was working on
“But this equation is way ahead of us”. I observed
“I know”. She retorted
“Can’t you just give your self a little break?”. I asked with an arched eyebrow
“You know I can’t”. She replied with her eyes still fixed on her book, this is the only way I can get into my preferred college.
“Oh right”. I drawled , I nee-d to get going
“Alright candy, see ya tomorrow “. She bade

I plugged in my earphones listening to Nick music as I danced my way out of the clas-s… oh lest I forget let me introduce myself;
I am Candace Noah popularly known as Candy , a nineteen years high school student with the dream of becoming a superstar. I live with my parent and little brother in a quiet neighbourhood. Father is a driver to a wealthy family while mother is a petty trader. we are not wealthy but at least we are happy.

I met my kid brother in the sitting room with his eyes glued to the television when I got home. He glanced at me and mumbled some words that sounded like greetings before he looked away.
“I can see the television has taken over your br@in”. I tea-sed walking into the next room
“Whatever”… he grumbled
*
I pu-ll-ed off my uniform and folded it neatly placing it in the wardrobe before changing into my house outfit.
I gr@bb£d my old looking guitar from the chair beside the be-d and scurried out of the room.
“Where are you going with the guitar?my brother Max asked staring at me, I thought mother warned you never to sing again at the train station
I walked out of the house ignoring him and ran heading to the train station
*
I got to the train station and went to my usual sp©t. I tuned my guitar and closed my eyes as I began singing, it was one of Nick song and it was my favourite.
I tapped my feet to the rhythm of the song as I pla-yed…
???????????
There is a song that is inside of my soul
It is the one that I will write over and over again
I am awake in this infinite cold but you sing to me over and over again
So I l@ymy heads back down and I lift my head and pray to be only yours , I pray to be only yours
I know now you are my only hope …….
.

I heard cheering and cl@pping when I was done and opened my eyes, i was not surprised to see a small crowd gathered around me…
“You have an angelic voice “. a fat woman praised.
“She sings like an angel”. I heard another voice praised.
“All she nee-ds is little training”.
I stared at them as they kept on praising and smiled , I was alre-ady used to it.
I bowed in appreciation and turned to go when a woman st©pped me
“hi young lady. she greeted, you sing beautifully
“Thanks ma. I appreciated
“Why don’t you enrol at the Delgado Music school?, I heard they mould beautiful singers like you into celebrities
“Delgado? Isn’t that the school owned by Nick’s father?”. I asked
She nodded smiling
“I really wish to but I can’t”. I sighed
“Why?”. she asked
“The fees are expensive”. I explained and she nodded
“It will be alright”. She as-sured before taking her leave
I watched her leave and sighed.
How I wish I can get into Delgado music school .
I plugged in my earphones listening to Nick song as I scurried back home.

I soon got home and was surprised to see mother seated in the sitting room
“Good mor… I mean evening”. I stuttered, I never expected to meet her home
“Where are you coming from with that guitar?”. She asked frowning.
“Why are you home so early?”. I asked trying to change the t©pic
“Is that the answer to my question “. She yelled , I gave you a clear warning never to go sing at the train station again but you chose to disobey me
“But mother I just….
“give me the guitar”. She commanded
“plea-se mother I promise not to…….
“hand it over now”. She barked and I k!$$£d the guitar before placing it gently on her outstretched hands
“You will never see it again”. She threatened,
“plea-se mother”. I pleaded
“Go and do the dishes”. She instructed before walking out of the house
I glared at Max who was grinning like a fool
“How did mom find out about it?. I asked
“How will I know?. he retorted, do I look like a magician
“Don’t dare lie to me Max”. I warned
“You should know me better by now “.he drawled facing the television, I will never do that
I looked at him and sighed. he is right, the Max I know will never tell on me but who did? It might be one of those bigmouthed neighbours.
I walked into the kitchen with tears streaking down my face
“What will happen to my life now? I wondered. I am not good at studying , not good at sport and the only thing I am good at seems to be hopeless.
*
I turned on the tap and started washing the dishes but soon st©pped when I heard Nick music blasting out from the speaker in the sitting room
I ran out of the kitchen to the sitting room still holding the dish sponge .
I smiled when I saw Max watching a video of Nick singing one of his songs
“he is so cute”. I remarked and Max turned to look at me
“Are you crazy?”. he asked staring at the dish sponge I was holding, don’t tell me you left the dishes because of this ugly guy
“he is not ugly”. I retorted and he sm-irked
“I can see you are really crazy”. he cursed and changed the channel
“Why did you do that?”. I frowned
“So you can go back to the kitchen”. he replied without looking at me
I shook my head and headed back to the kitchen
He wouldn’t un-derstand, no one will. I just want to sing on a big stage , I just want to be a celebrity like Nick …
Episode 2
Meeting Chase Delgado
. Candace Noah
I sat on the sofa working on my as-signment when I heard a car drove in
“Daddy is home”. Max announced running out to greet him
I sighed staring at the equations
“How will I solve this?”. I wondered, maths really su-cks
I looked up when my dad walked in with Max following behind him
“hi Dad”. I greeted flashing him a smile
“how are You candy? he asked coll@psing on the sofa opposite mine,He was obviously tired.
I stood up from the sofa and walked into the kitchen to get him something to eat, I dished some rice flakes into a plate placing it gently on a tray along with a glas-s filled with water.
I returned to the sitting room and placed the tray gently on a stool in front of my father
“Thanks”. My dad appreciated
I watched him rushed the food and smiled, he must be really hungry
He belched in satisfaction when he was done eating. He instructed Max who was watching cartoons to take the empty plates to the kitchen.
“but Dad let Candy do that”. he whined
“Do as I say”. My dad gr-unted
“Fine”. Max glared at me before standing up lazily, I sm-irked watching him pick the empty plates from the stool before heading out to the kitchen.
I turned to look and my dad and met his gaze
“What is it dad?” I asked looking away
“You went to the train station again right? he asked
“I can see mom alre-ady called you”, I drawled.
“She just want the best for you candy so try to un-derstand her”
“can’t she just let me be? she alre-ady seized my guitar so what else does she want?
“She wants you to improve on your studies and that is all”. he replied
“But I am not cut out for studies, I just want to sing”.
He stared at me for a while and smiled . I un-derstand you candy, I really do
“Really?”. I asked in excitement and he nodded
“Then plea-se don’t st©p me from doing what I like best”. I pleaded and he just stared on at me
“What do you think about Delgado music school?”. he suddenly asked
“Delgado! that is my dream school. I exclaimed in excitement but I heard the fees is really expensive or is there another way I can get in?
“I don’t really know. he shrug but I heard my boss talking about a scholarsh!por something like that, I will just ask him about it
“Really?” I asked in excitement, how did he get to know about it?
“That is because he holds a high position in the school and also because he is a close friend of Mr Delgado”. he explained
“Why didn’t you tell me about him?” I asked frowning, who is he? What is his name?
“Mr Montez. he is the father to Kira”
“Kira? do you mean Kira Montez my favourite female singer?
he nodded smiling , I never knew you admire her
“I do but not as much as my Nick”
“Your Nick”
“Erm.. I…I… meeen Nick”. I stuttered and he gave me a small smile
You really nee-d to help me get into Delgado”. I pleaded
“I will see what I can do”. he promised me
 
Chase Delgado
I sat on the be-d in my room trying to compose a song when the door opened and my elder brother Nick walked in
I tried to hide the book but it was too late
“What is that?” he asked sitting on the be-d
“Nothing”. I lied
“Are you trying to lie to your big brother?” he scoffed
I shook my head negatively
“Then hand it over”. he yelled and I immediately did
He opened the book and glanced throu-gh the pages
“You are really doing a good job”. he remarked, I want to sing this song in my next albu-m
“But I can’t Nick that is a special song I composed for my mom”. I explained
“What did you just say?”. he asked with a scoff?
“Nothing”. I bit myl-ips
“Good boy”. he muttered patting me, get dressed we are going to a concert.
“We?” I repeated and he nodded
“I am feeling sick”. I complained and he scoffed
“Don’t dare me little brother” He warned standing up and flashed me a smile before walking out of the room.
I picked the book from the drawer where Nick kept it and shred it to pieces
“When will all this st©p?”. I wondered
I dragged myself up from the be-d and went over to the wardrobe to change my clothes before heading down the stairs
I met Nick and his manager seated on the sofa obviously waiting for me
“I am re-ady”. I announced and they both stood
“It is going to be a big concert and we nee-d you to give your best sh0t”. His manager informed and I sm-irked
The drive to the concert was a quiet one as Nick behaved like I never existed, he kept on looking into his phone.
“What a snub!”
The concert hall bec@m£ noisy immediately we walked in, or should I say immediately Nick walked in.
The shout of Nick name filled the air and I scoffed when I saw a lady faint at the sight of Nick
“Is this for real?
Nick instructed me to maintain the same pace with him as we walked towards the stage . I guess he was worried about loosing his voice , yes his voice.
“Who is the guy beside Nick?”. I heard a female voice asked , he is way cuter than Nick
I turned to look at Nick and met his gaze, it was obvious he heard it
 
We climbe-d up the stage and the manager accompanied me to the back stage
“Just concentrate”. he instructed, no one must know Nick is l-ips yncing
“What song am I to sing?”. I drawled
“The last song you recorded at the studio”. he replied
I looked at him and scoffed
“You mean you don’t know the title of the song”. I tea-sed
“Quit teasing Chase” he said. It is your song so you should know better
“So you finally admit I am Nick voice and Music”. I drawled
“Just sing Chase”. he instructed . I hummed the lyrics of the song before I started singing
I heard the crowd go wild as they sang along with me or rather should I say Nick since they all believed he was the one singing
The rhythm soon changed to a rock and roll and I immediately started another song . It was the first song I composed and also one of my best
I felt tears streak down my face as I sang
🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼
There is a song inside of my soul
It is the one that I have tried to write over and over again
I am awake in the infinite cold
But you song to me over and over again
So I lie my head back down and I Lift my head and pray to be only yours
I know now you are my only hope………
I was soon done singing and i heard the Crowd screamed Nick Name in excitement
I peeped throu-gh a little opening and saw Nick waving at his fans
“When will all this end?”. I wondered , I really loved singing but my own elder brother stole my dreams.
Do I really have a choice?
 
This is serious
