A big bro / little sis relationship during one of the biggest contest of the world.
A Bojan Cvjetićanin fanfic
When a 16 yo girl is chosen to represent France at Eurovision, she understands that it won't be an easy thing to do and feels quite lost...
It's 4 pm. The hour me and William from Wiwibloggs agreed to face time on Zoom to do an interview.
I open my laptop and enter the code William gave me to join the session.
It reminds me when I had online classes during the lockdown, I was 13 back then. I was crumbling under all the mass of work I had, that was hell. But let's not talk about traumas.
When I connect to the face time session, I'm surprised to see that William is already connected, waiting for me.
«Hi Emilia !» he greets me with a big smile.
«Hi William, thank you for having me !» I say knowing that this whole interview is recorded to be later posted on YouTube.
«So, we're here to talk about your song 'Popcorn Salé', hum I guess it means 'Salted Popcorn' ?»
«Yeah that's right» I said shaking my head and laughing. I know that it can be a confusing title.
«Okay tell me a bit about it» he asked me.
«So the song is about all the persons who don't think they can no longer move forward in life but are saved by people who will make them open their eyes and basically give them a taste for life again» I explained.
« And what does the title have to do with this ?» he asked confused.
«Well I don't really know how to explain it properly but... It's like if the person who's rediscovering the world is eating popcorn at the same time because it would be like watching at a movie. I don't know if it makes sense» I said laughing.
«Yeah it does I kinda get it now. Also, you attended the Barcelona pre party in march, how was it ?»
«It was really nice to see people vibing to all the songs and to meet the other contestants, even though I didn't get to meet all of them» I answered.
«With who did you get along the most ?» William asked me curious.
«I have to say that I spent most of the after party with the guys from Slovenia and Finland, but that is because I didn't dare to go talk to the others» I said quite ashamed.
«What do you expect Eurovision to bring you ?»
«Mostly confidence, I'd say. Going out of my comfort zone would mean a lot to me. But also just friends, experiences and simply fun. Maybe also fame but not too much though» I teased.
I'd like to raise fame, but I couldn't deal too much with it. I wouldn't be able to do promotion, give gigs and all that stuff. I don't think I'm mentally ready for this, and I don't want to put my mental health in trouble, in fact no artists should deserve that.
«Is there any new songs in preparation that could be released after the contest ?»
«I have to say that for the moment no, I haven't really had the time to think about new songs lately because I focus more on the contest and on school. But I hope that after the contest I'll be able to create new music yes, and if some collaboration is proposed to me I'll accept it with pleasure» I teased.
«Okay thank you Emilia for giving me the time to interview you. We and people will be able to see you in London the 16th of April for the last pre party of the season.»

My phone is ringing, I look at my screen.
It's Seb, the assistant head of delegation. Basically, he's the one who's in charge of booking hotels and he accompanies us everywhere. He can be nice, but sometimes he's too stressed and put pressure on everyone.
I answer the call.
«Hello ?»
«Hi Emilia, it's about the hotels for the London trip»
«Yes, what about it ?» I ask, I don't know what he could want from me
«There isn't enough place in the hotel where most of the other contestants will be, so the thing is : would it be okay if you are alone in this hotel while me and the team will be in an other one. It won't be far like 5 minutes walk» he explained.
That wasn't a call that I expected to be honest. But I didn't mind this at all, it suits me actually. I could be alone when I'd want to and nobody would be on my back.
«Yes I'm okay with it don't worry.»
«You're sure ?»
«I promise yes».
«Okay thank you. Bye»
Well that was fast.
There's one thing he said that is bothering me though : there will be most of the other contestants in the same hotel as me. I don't really know how to feel about that. I'll be able to meet them but I'm scared of being left out.
I guess we'll see next week.
Hello !
Not a very interesting chapter once again sorry I'll try to write some chapters to have them ready to be posted, because I'm going on vacations for 10 days so I'm won't be really able to write but I'm not sure I'll succeed. So don't be surprised if there's no updates :)
