Chapter one

The voice on the street was enormous. Cars were speeding and people looking exhausted from the boiling sun. A car stop and a tall slim curly hair girl jumped out and ran into the nearby line. She bended on her foot as she tried to catch her breath. After relaxing and getting back to normal breathing level she stood up and realised that the line was everlasting.
"Damn!" She mutted.
A girl was running and bumped into her.
"What the hell!" The tall girl shouted. "Are you bloody mad!"
The girl who bumped into her grinned and then stopped when she realised that her victim was serious.
"Sorry man." She said."was running from a crazy ex boyfriend."
The tall girl rolled her eyes and turned back around to face the line.
"So, you're here for the audition too?" She asked.
The tall girl ignored her and kept paying attention to her phone.
"Of course you are. Why would you be here in this long line? I'm Champane." Champane said. " My people call me Cham."
Cham held her hand out waiting for a hand shake. Her opponent did not look at her.
"I'm Marisol." A girl said. Cham looked up at her and realised the girl that answered her was in front the tall girl.
Marisol hand was ready to shake Cham's but Cham refused.
"Wasn't talking to you. Sorry." Cham said.
Marisol drew back her hand.
"I know." She said." I was trying to be friendly. Haven't talking to anyone since I got here."
The tall girl said,
"Marisol, how long have you been here?"
Marisol replied,
"Exactly 7:00 a.m. The line was longer than this. Can't believe so many people want to be superstars."
Cham frowned. She said,
"Duh!"
"Something bothering you?" The tall girl asked Cham as she turned to face her.
"What's up with the accent?" Cham asked." I think we are going to be totally BFFs. We just got here and we are talking to each other. What if we get chosen?"
"I would take the first flight to back home. " The tall girl said.
Marisol chuckled.
"I would be thrilled. I want this so bad. I have been singing in church for so long. That place is the reason why am here. That place taught me do much. I love singing."
"Me too." The tall girl said. " I was involved in my alma mata choir. We won a lot of prizes."
Cham chuckled.
She said,
" So she won't talk to me. That's alright. I'm gonna still talk like we know each other."
The tall girl said,
" I'm Zani and I'm from Ausi. "
Cham said,
" I sing on the streets. That's where i live also so. I'm here because i want a better life. I love singing also. It's what keep me going."
Cham smiled. She doesn't like been miss emotional but when it come to singing she pours out her all. After all, she still had the stupid idea that they will be the chosen girls for the all female singing group.
"Wow!" Zani said." Sorry. So many other girls here going through the same and worse. I wonder if I'll get through. I mean i have money. My parents are rich, but I love singing. My parents would kill if they found me here. They don't think singing is a valuable future career."
Marisol said,
"I just ran away from my parents house. They are not really my parents but they want to control me. Force me to do stuffs. So glad I'm eighteen. Singing is my life. It's the reason I'm alive."
Cham chuckled. She said,
" Church girl. Rich bratt and the gangsta. We all are perfect for the group. So my totally theory was right. We can be friends. We just told each other our darkest secrets."
They all smiled. They moved up in the line as it began to move.
" Wow! We are almost inside. We should keep talking. Take our minds off the nerves you know. " Marisol said.
The girls continued chattering until they were inside the building.
They were tagged with numbers waiting to be interviewed.
"Good luck guys." Zani said. " Hopefully by God's will we will might ended up being the group. Good knowing you too."
They all hugged. Marisol was up first. She went into the small yet warm and bright room.
" I I'm Marisol. I'm 18 and I love singing." Marisol said shyly.
The judges smiled.
" Marisol so mannersable." The only male judge said. " We love manners. What would you sing for us?"
Marisol said,
" Loving You by...by...ammm...I'm so sorry. I...I forget her name."
Damn nerves she curse to herself.
" She is Maya Rondulf mother. The actress."
Marisol looked at the judges who were calmed an awaiting her performance.
" It's ok. We know the singer. Wow us please." The short female judge who resembles Eve.
Wow us. Marisol replayed in her mind.
"God help me." She said under her breath.
