Caring wings

VII : london

Sunday 16th April

I wake up at 8am in my hotel room. I wish I could sleep longer, I'm tired since me and my team arrived in London late in the night yesterday. But I have to get up if I want to enjoy the time I have before the soundcheck and the concert to visit the city.

Alex and Seb didn't tell me anything about what they will do today, so I guess I'm free to do what I want. Honestly, I really don't want to spent the day with them. I'd feel like a child on vacation with her parents.

I get ready to go down to the breakfast room. I put a basic outfit, then makeup not to look like I'm dead and put on my shoes.

Once I arrive in the breakfast room, I communicate my room number to the reception lady and i take a tray.
I grab only a mini croissant and a slice of baguette (as a french this was very pleasant to find baguette) with a glass of water, I'm not hungry.

The problem with me is that I'm never hungry, but I've always eaten despite this. And if I waited to be hungry to eat, I think I'd eat rarely. But I recently realised that eating without being hungry isn't the best thing either, so I try to reduce my portions.

When I turn to look at the room and find a place for myself, I notice a lot of random people and also some other contestants. Here they are eating all together. I recognise Teya & Salena, Alika, Joker Out, Blanca Paloma, Alessandra and Kaarija all together around several tables.

I hesitate to join them, but I don't dare to and end up sitting alone at a free table. I start eating slowly while watching my phone. I sometimes glance an eye to their table. They're all laughing and seem so comfortable together, you could believe they know each other for a long time.

Bojan's pov:

«Isn't that Emilia ?» I asked Kris while pointing to a girl with my head.

I knew it was her but I wanted to be sure.

«I think it is» he answered.

There she was sitting all alone with only her company. She seemed mysterious, she probably already saw us but didn't want to come with us, or rather didn't dare to.

I find it sad she isn't more confident when she's truly a talented girl.

«Guys, I'm gonna ask Emilia to come with us, she's right there» I told everyone.

I stood up and made my way to her.

When I was standing in front of her, she raised her head and I could guess the surprise in her eyes.

«Hello, how are you since the last time?»

«Good and you ?»

«Same. I saw you were alone so I thought you could join us» I proposed carefully.

She turned her head to see where I pointed out with my head and let down an expression of surprise which I suspect was fake.

She nodded and accepted the proposition.

Deep down, I know she already saw us.

She grabbed her tray and followed me to our table.

Everyone greeted her when they saw her as she responded shyly.

She took a sit next to Alika, in front of Jan. All the girls were on a side whereas us the boys were on the other. I was at the opposite of Emilia next to Jere.

We started chatting again as we finished eating.

«Funny how you're the only one eating baguette here» Jan said to Emilia
