Queen of the Court

Chapter 20: Reality is within Reach

The next morning I was the first of our group to get up and I got started a little ahead of everyone else getting dressed and ready for the day. I thought about going out for a walk but figured I probably shouldn't leave without someone or telling Jia so instead after getting dressed I left the room and headed downstairs with my tablet to the cafe where I had sat with Hyoga the night before. I thought that maybe I could either read or work on my art a little bit more while I waited for the others. The day was sure to get eventful but this little bit of quiet and alone time gave me a chance to think. Think about myself and what I had started to do. I knew I had my career goal set but I really didn't know what I wanted to do with myself. I guess I could say I've been faking it the whole time, doing my best and putting on a front but I really don't have much confidence in myself. Sur either have my clubs and I started them and they have made an impact but I'm still hiding behind others. I haven't done anything yet.

"I'm really not sure of anything" I mumbled to myself, sighing softly and looked around at the few people in the lobby, all of them either busy or lost in their own conversations. I scan the lobby for a bit longer as I start to go back to my drawing and then I see Kiro. "Wonder why he's here, I would assume he would have had a nicer hotel" I thought to myself and just observed for a little while till he picked up the phone and I realized I had been staring a little too long and I looked back to my tablet. I was too far to hear his conversation but seeing him did make me think, I haven't interacted with him at all since the dance and I wondered if that was because subconsciously I was trying to heed by Josh's warning to stay away from him. Before I could really focus again I got a text and I turned my phone over, the others were up and they were looking for me, I told them to come meet me downstairs and then we could all go out to eat together somewhere before we started the day. Today was mostly about the concert but before the concert all of us, Jia included wanted to go around and see some other places before we joined the groups at the concert which I looked forward to the most.

"Morning Rhena" I looked up hearing Someone speak and I smiled to see the girls joining me

"Morning" I smiled

"Your up early, couldn't sleep anymore?" Kailan asks and I shook my head

"Nope not really, I was too excited for today" I explained with a smile

"That makes two of us" Garram grinned and sat down beside me the others joined and Jia made her way down and of course the boys last and I had to laugh

"You two are usually early surprised you slept in" I teased

"It's still spring break there's no need to be up Uber early" Tae said

"In my defense I went to sleep late" Hyoga said and my attention went to him

"Still couldn't sleep after talking last night?" I ask and he shook his head

"I think my excitement was still wearing off" He said but flashed me a smile "Don't worry about me though"

"Alright well we should head out if we're going to make breakfast before doing some sightseeing" Jia says getting our attention and motions for us to follow her out. Our hotel was maybe a 5 minute walk from Tokyo Dome where my sister was performing and we went to a restaurant that was about 10 minutes away. After we had breakfast we didn't stray too far actually we stayed pretty close to watch some of the street performers . I was in awe of how many there were and how crowded the square got.

"Is this what it's always like?", I asked Hyoga out of amazement as I watched

"Yeah, at least for concerts, there's always so much that happens and so many to see" Hyoga said

We watched a few more energetic performances and we got to see something wonderful. Minhee got to join one of the performers as we were watching. To see the excitement on her face as she got to perform even if just for a little bit was something that I could never forget.
