I stepped on stage and the crowd was applauding me. People were singing along during the chorus and that was the most emotional thing ever. I was fighting hard not to cry while singing, it would have been a shame to ruin my black makeup that made me look powerful (and yes I'm singing a ballad) while I'm not that much.
At the end of the concert, all the contestants had to meet at the back exit of the venue.
Everyone is talking together, laughing and celebrating. Me on the other hand, I'm leaning against the wall alone listening to the others's conversations.
Nobody seems to see me. Nobody except one person who was heading towards me. Bojan again.
«You okay ?» he asks me.
I nod with a little smile but he doesn't seem convinced though.
«Let's go talk to the others together»
He puts his hand on my shoulder and lets me follow him.
We joined the other Joker Out guys who were talking to a not too tall black haired man who's wearing a green bolero.
«This is Käärijä, or Jere, from Finland» Bojan introduced me to him.
«Hello, I'm Emilia, from France» I said intimidated by his style.
«Oh I've seen you on stage ! I even saw some persons in the crowd crying a bit. And remind me how old are you already ?»
«16»
«At your age I was still trying to see when would the light in the fridge go out» he said laughing. «You're impressive».
«Thank you so much»
I can see he genuinely meant it, which give me a little bit of confidence.
We are now all heading to a private bar for us.
Everyone scatters here and there but I decide to stay with the guys. It's either this or I'd be alone anyways.
They're all heading to the bar to order some drinks. I feel like a little kid that a parent had to take with them when going out. Seriously, what am I doing here ?
They all order some pinas coladas on the recommendation of the Finnish man.
«Do you want something ?» asked me Jure.
I couldn't drink alcohol. Well, I technically could, but I didn't want to. I'm not too young to drink, but I'm not that old either. And the main reason was that I knew I wouldn't like those drinks.
«Hum, I'm gonna take an iced tea please» I said to the barman who I feel like is kinda making fun of me.
I feel so embarrassed to order this while I'm with some guys drinking pinas coladas. I seriously look like a baby in this situation.
When our drinks arrived, we started playing truth or dare. Of course, each time someone would pass their turn, they had to drink, except me. I couldn't get drunk with my iced tea.
«Okay Jan, truth or dare ?» asked Nace
«Truth»
«What's your biggest fear ?»
«To look at myself in the mirror the morning»
He responded this in such a serious way that we all burst out laughing.
«Now, hum Bojan. Truth or dare ?» Jere was now turned to Bojan.
«Dare of course»
He would never choose truth, I think he's one of the most energetic and outgoing person I know.
