It was Friday, meaning we had our final rehearsals. It was Number Ones week and I was singing California Girls by Katy Perry. I think this could possibly be my favourite performance so far, as this was the most fun. I went through all the choreography and sang the song one more time.
"You killed it," Tulisa said grinning at me.
"Thanks," I said grinning back.
"Sing it like that tomorrow and you're definitely through to next week babe,"
"You really think so?" I asked unsurely.
"I know so. Okay now costume, I was thinking maybe some daisy dukes and a bikini?"
"I'll wear the shorts but can I not wear a bikini? I don't really want my stomach chilling out... Sorry..."
"Nah it's cool, how bout a baggy singlet with the bikini under it, and it could look all beachy?" that's what I loved about her, she never made me do anything I didn't want to and she understood everything.
"Yeah that would be cool," I nodded.
"Yay! Okay let's go find something!"
--Saturday--
"😨🔫 😡 PUT YOUR HANDS UP OR I SHOOT." George texted me. "😠🔫😡NEVER. I'LL NEVER SURRENDER PEASANT." the next message read. "😱🔫😡 YOU LEAVE ME NO CHOICE." The next one read. "😠🔫😡 YOU DON'T HAVE THE BALLS TO SHOOT ME." "😲🔫😡 PEW PEW PEW YOURE DEAD." read the final message. Ohmigod... He needs help. I shook my head and entered the room in which everyone was waiting to perform.
"Haaaiiiii, and George. Dafuq." I said as I sat on the floor. They all responded with variations of the word hello.
"Uhm... I got bored?" he said
"You need mental help."
"Nah uh. You need mental help."
One by one the room emptied out until it was my turn to perform. I stood backstage as the clip started playing, nervously playing with my beachy wavesy hair. The music started and I walked out, beginning to sing. I looked up at the XtraFactor Balcony and saw the Union J boys watching and dancing along. I shot them a wink and carried on. I made my way to the side of the stage where my family was and carried on singing and dancing. I fought the urge to squeal when I saw my bestest friend Reece with my family. He grinned and waved at me excitedly. I actually hadn't seen him in person for like 5 years. The song finished and I stood in the middle of the stage, listening to the comments. I looked at Reece one more time and he winked before I made my way offstage.
When I made it to the XtraFactor studio I was attacked by Union J, telling me I did great and stuff
"But dudes you sang my jam that was actually fantabulous and you with your guitar oh my god wow I sound like such a fangirl right now wow okay." I rambled excitedly.
