Part Two: A True Adventure.

At last, after a long drive from the airport we eventually made it to the hotel. Pulling myself from the taxi the huge skyscraper looked down upon me. Perhaps paying to go to this private college rather than a casual one did have some benefits, following the teachers and the small crowd we entered the lobby. Immediately the beauty and expensive of the place began to hit me, most of the place was made from marble with marble floors and columns. The desk was wooden and smooth with a woman who looked somewhat middle aged, she wore light makeup her brown hair was in a tidy tight bun. She wore a white shirt and skin tight black pencil skirt. With a big smile stained on her face she greeted the teachers, we waited patiently until we were finally handed our room keys.

Heading up the elevator it was cramped and all I felt like to doing was sleep, so did everybody else. Pulling, almost dragging my suitcase down the hall I followed Lauren with Lucy behind me. Turning a few more corners, our room finally appeared. The huge smooth wooden door stood still until Lauren gently unlocked it. To my amazement the room was giant and fancy like the rest of the place, my expectations were single beds scattered around but we all had a double bed to ourselves. After we'd all established which bed was which I dumped my bag down, kicked off my boots and flopped onto the soft cushiony bed.

Seconds after there was a gentle knock at the door, no one at first volunteered to get up but Lauren and Lucy gave me a look that told me silently ' You're closer, go open the door. ' With another sigh falling from my mouth I was thankful they didn't hear it as I hopped up to go answer the door. Cautiously, I looked through the peep-hole just in case. It was only Mrs Gianni, our Korean teacher, because how long I took she knocked again making me jump a little.

" Girls? " She said softly.

Opening the door slowly she chuckled lightly looking at me, she then proceeded to enter whilst saying.

" Ah, you look exhausted Cerys! " She laughed again.

" That's because I am. " I said quietly as I closed the door behind her and followed her into the room which by now Lauren and Lucy had sat up.

She gasped as she continued further into the room.

" Wow girls! You should all be very grateful, your room is much bigger than the teachers get and more than any of the other students. Gosh! I'm jealous! " We laughed awkwardly with her. " Anyways, I came to say that tonight we've decided to just let everybody rest and get some sleep, if you need anything we'll be in lobby and tomorrow morning we want you down for I'd say.. " She paused to think. " 9:45, latest. We have much to do tomorrow! " She exclaimed and left.

As soon as I heard the door click shut my body collapsed onto my bed, the others lay back down and we slept.

***

Waking quietly, my first instinct was. Where did my phone go? I remembered that before sleeping it was next to me on the bed because I put my headphones in. Rolling over it sat comfortably on my bedside table with my headphones next to it. Smiling this was obviously the act of Lauren, she constantly did things like this for me and Lucy, just generally caring for us. So, sweet. Anyway, hopping up I grabbed my phone to check the time. '6:34am' I don't know why I did this but even if I had no alarm I got up early, oversleeping was practically a myth for me. I hate that too sometimes...

Deciding because they were sleeping and how early it was I'd have time to get a shower, which I did... Once out I checked the time again, '7:03am' a short shower for me. After making my bed I sat at the desk in our room and decided to let the other two get up naturally unless it got too late. Placing my headphones in carefully and whipping out my sketch book I began working something new.

A little time later there was a tap on my back which startled me a little on the inside, spinning around it revealed Lauren. Lucy was still sleeping.

" Of course you're up early. " Lauren groaned quietly.

" What do you mean? " I laughed softly removing my headphones in the process.

" You're always up to bloody early, and you've had a shower, " She paused to sigh and yawn. " I'm kidding, I'm going to go take a shower. " She headed off into the bathroom with some clothes, as she walked off I watched as Lucy's eyes slowly peeled open.

" Good morning. " I smiled.

She bolted up, with her head shooting in many different directions she gasped. " Oh.... My.... GOD!! I'm in Korea!! " She squealed.

Face palming we laughed.

***

After the other two were ready we headed for the lobby in a calm fashion. Joking. We ran full speed down the corridors shouting and screaming at the top of our lungs. When we got into the lobby everybody looked at us having just heard us throughout the whole building, we just tried hard not to laugh and sat.

" Okay! " Miss Harris said taking the attention off us. " We're all here, let's go eat. "

Sitting at the table I had nothing but a drink, the three of us didn't eat much. We just didn't really eat breakfast that much.

Soon after though however it was time to head out, we were off shopping which I suppose was quite cool.

The car came to a halt just outside the shopping centre and we all climbed out, it was massive! Every shop looked expensive and fancy, people were even dressed very posh like they were off to a fancy restaurant, I suppose that's where the culture differs to England.

Later That Night.

After shopping and generally wandering about and having so much fun the college decided to take us to a bar as karaoke was on, I think I know why they brought us here. Child friendly but they could have a few drinks if they wanted. Which they did, I'm not sure if it was their intention to get this drunk but they did. The night progressed to the point where staff began handing out the song lists for the karaoke. Nope. Lucy's face said differently though however.

" Please! " She begged almost whining.

" No! " Lauren ordered back, " I'm not doing some stupid karaoke! "

" Cerys, you'll do it with me. Won't you? "

Poof. There goes my self-confidence.... Not like I had any anyways. A part of me was saying to just jump right up and do it, whilst the other was telling me how much of a fool I'd make myself look like. Unfortunately, for the confident side it was heavily in the minority, there was no way I could ever get up on stage and preform! Sure, when I was younger the three of us used to participate in dance shows and competitions together but things change I guess. That wasn't me anymore...

" I can't... " I mumbled too low for her to hear over the blasting music.

" What?! Never mind, you love this song! You must! You're the only one who can do the fast rap, I'll sing and you and Lauren can share between the rapping. Come on it will be fun! "

The thought dawned on me for a moment, maybe we could. She was right, I did love this song... In fact, it was one of my favourites... How did she know I could do the rap though, that was something I did alone... In my room... At that moment the drunken teachers took notice into what we were doing, they seemed to love the idea as none of the other children were willing to do it.

" Do it girls! Go on! " They said slurred.

They then continued to practically and literally push us up, there was no going back now...


Standing there up on stage all eyes were upon us and it was very unsettling, the music began and Lucy instantly began singing. She was amazing, but we already knew that. She took music in college and would sing all the time, in my opinion she was better than most singers out there today. The rap soon came up and Lauren took the first verse, then Lucy sang again. As the fast part of the rap came on and I was doing it whilst concentrating on not messing up. People were clapping and their mouths had been frozen open the duration of our performance. In the middle of the fast part the door of the bar opened but with the bright spotlight in my eyes I was unable to see.

We had a huge applaud as we came of the stage, honestly, they just wouldn't stop clapping which made me feel kind of good. Lucy and Lauren enjoyed the praise and bowed I just hurried off to the table where the teachers swayed drunk.

" Wow! " They chuckled drunkenly.

Minutes later the bartender came over with a tray of drinks, that was odd. We didn't order anything...

" These are some drinks from the two gentlemen on table four. " She smiled looking over to the table.

My head slowly peeked round when Lauren gently kicked me in the leg. Hesitating back she gave me the death look.

" Don't look over! Are you mad?! " She yelled, but my eyes kept moving towards their direction but Lauren would snap me back looking at them two.

We allowed the teachers to take the drinks but underneath there was a note, we all suspiciously then back at the note. Lauren grabbed it and ripped it open, her eyes scanned the paper before she looked back up to us shocked.

" What?! " We yelled. " What is it?! "

She passed me the paper and I opened it.

' Hello!

If you're reading this note one of our associates have spotted you somewhere and have recognised some talent in the musical industry. We are a record label who are hosting auditions to find new talent, we will sign whoever we think will be the next big thing and deserve it.

If you are reading this I do recommend you come along and try out.

Auditions will be held tomorrow from these times at this address.

-iBigHit '

The letter then went on to specify where the building is, the teachers decided it was time to go and we headed back to the hotel.

***

It was late, maybe 1am, we were sat up discussing the note which was sat open comfortably on the bedside table.

" Should we do it? " Lucy asked.

" We won't get in anyways. " I chuckled.

" Exactly. " Lucy added. " We can go as a joke. "

" But what if we do get in? " Lauren suggested.

" We won't, there will be so many people auditioning we won't stand a chance. It will just be an experience. " I smiled.

***

We awoke early and got ready quickly, heading to the set address the teachers didn't even know. They were sleeping from their hang over, the taxi took us straight there. This place must be some sort of a big deal as there were screaming girls and boys outside, avoiding them we headed inside and gave in our name to the woman at the desk and she sat us on some chairs with quite the line of people. We were sat next to a girl who was shaking. As soon as we began talking in English again she looked to us.

" Excuse me? Are you from England? " She asked with an accent I could recognise from the U.K.

" Yeah, " Lauren smiled. " Why? "

" Sorry, me too. My family moved here a month ago and I heard you guys talking. " She laughed.

Sometime later we'd moved up the line and gotten to know the girl a lot more, her name was Rebecca, she seemed nice and funny. Then she was called in and we were next, we were quite scared to be honest, a girl a few minutes ago came out running and sobbing. Rebecca came out with quite the smile on her face, she wished us good look and left.

We entered and the panel of what you could call judges stared at us blankly before letting us begin, we did the same song as last night and they smiled throughout and seemed more and more happy and shocked with our solo parts. Once we'd finished they clapped graciously, that's when I looked over to the other door to see I think two people looking in. Once they'd noticed me looking over they ran and I turned my attention back to the judges who had now began speaking.

" Thank you for an excellent audition, " The man who was sat in the middle of the three smiled.

We smiled also as we thanked him. " We'll contact you in the next few days, if not you didn't make it but thank you for the audition. "

We strolled out like bosses until we exited the building, we screamed and ran. Had we just auditioned for a record label?

Would we get in? What would happen if we did?....
