This morning I was knock on the door. I panicked. Shit, what is whoever it was saw Ricky sleeping beside me. I sat up instantly and beside me. He was gone. "Aella, are you awake?" I heard my moms voice ask me and I rubbed my eyes.
"I'm awake." I said and she opens the door.
"Your ride is here to pick you up. You might want to hurry and change into some comfort clothes." She said to me and she then left. I put a pair of sweats and cap. Next came the mask and shoes and I left. Once in the car I saw a text.
*one new message from PIC*
PIC: I had to sneak out this morning, sorry for not waking you and saying goodbye. I'll see you at music bank. Love you <3
I then smiled. He didn't get caught. We then continued on our way to the building for the recording. It was silent. I never spoke much when I didn't have the others with me. I'd promise to be more talkative. Once we arrived I saw Nemy waiting outside.
"How was your night? I missed you. We didn't do karaoke like usual." Nemy said as she looped our arms together.
"It was nice. I was glad to be with family." I said to her and she smiled at that. She knew that my family had always meant a lot to me.
"I miss your moms cooking. When's the next dinner I can come to?" She asked me and I smiled at her. She always loved my family and said that it reminded her of home. She never had the chance to go and visit her family in Australia but hopefully one day I could go and meet them with her.
"I will let you know because I miss you there." I said to her and she smiled.
"Yes, I'm back in with the Cheung family." She said making me last. We then entered into the building and went to our dressing room. They then put us into the outfits for todays stage.
I felt like it went well with the concept that we had. I then saw that we were being filmed. "First music show. I'm excited. This will be a dream but it'll be chaotic. I wonder who we'll see to do challenges with." I said to the camera and that's when Nemy came over.
"But the best part will definitely be being on stage with you. I got you a coffee." She said as she handed me an iced americano.
"She knows me too well. Soulmate. That's what I say." I said and that's when I could her Geuroo practicing in the background. "I can hear a siren singing. Her song. So enchanting." I said and the makeup artist had finished. I then walked over to Geuroo and started dancing. We were all waiting to be called on stage. I the saw our manager come in.
"Girls, your taking to the stage after this performance. You need to start heading towards the entrance." He said to us and we all got excited. But first we were taken to an interview area. I then saw Eunchae and Chaemin. This was when it started to feel real. We greeted them and the stood on the steps behind them.
"Welcome bank and we are joined with the new group which is taking over everywhere. Would you like to introduce yourselves?" Eunchae said and they then moved away.
"Shining in the sky, hello we are Startrix!" We all shouted and we all smiled and did our gesture as well.
"Can you tell us about your debut song?" Chaemin asked us and I looked at Geuroo.
"The song is about what we went through as we were on Star Girls. We wanted to make it about all the people that kept us down but didn't succeed." She said and Eunchae looked at us.
"There's a lot of point choreography. Could you teach us some?" She asked and that's when I started teaching them the choreography. That's the music started. Soon it was time for us to go and preform on stage. Our first ever debut stage. We did it and we got loads of cheers from the crowd which made us all happy. For the ending fairy it was Nemy falling into my arms and me catching her. The camera then panned to the others that were in shock. Soon it was time to head backstage and film the dance challenges together. That's when I saw him. Ricky.
"Girls this is Ricky and Zhang Hao of Zerobaseone, you'll both be filming your challenges together." Our manager said. I was just glad that I was with Nemy.
"Hi, it's nice to meet you. I'm Aella and this is Nemy." We said to them. This was just awkward. Especially since we already knew them.
"Ricky. This is Zhang Hao." Ricky said and we both nodded at him. We practiced each others dance and then started with ours first. It was the dance break part for our challenge. It made me feel happy seeing Ricky do the change. For our ending fairy for the challenge it was all of us doing hearts.
"Now it's time for In Bloom. But can I just make sure that this is right?" Nemy asked as she did one of the parts in the choreography.
"Yeah, that's right. You've got it." Hao said to her and I was so glad that we could do this. Whilst we were doing In Bloom I was so happy. Doing my lovers choreography. This wasn't feeling real to all of us.
"You both did so well. I always want to say that I was a big fan of your debut as well. I couldn't stop listening to it. Especially Carnival Games." Ricky said with a smile. The song about him and I. That was the one he listened to the most.
"Thank you, it means a lot to us. I really liked In Bloom as well. It was very addictive." I said and that's when our manager signalled us.
"We gotta go but it was nice meeting you both." Bent said and we said our goodbyes. It was a nice to meet you for the second time. Everyone then went to film challenges with others. I managed to get lucky and film a challenge with Natty. She was someone that I really looked up to. She even gave me her number so that we could be friends. That was something that was really exciting.
"How was everyone's day?" Aree asked and I smiled at her.
"It was really good. I can't wait for tomorrow." Hyunjoo said to me. We we're currently in our minibus home.
"I wasn't expecting some many people to turn up for us. It was something I won't forget." Jihye said and I smiled at her. This was something that I'd always remember.
"This is the start to our new life." I said to them all and we all celebrated. I then had a message from Ricky. Saying it was nice to see me and it was. Something that was awkward though. But we saw each other. And we interacted.
