Make Me Yours

chapter 9(Akira-pov)

At last, the day of the season competition arrived. I'm anxious as hell but also incredibly excited.Even though I told that I wouldn't care who wins, I still intend to try to win the trophy.

When I went downstairs after getting ready, my parents both greeted me, and I returned the kind gesture. My father spoke from behind, "Aria, I know you will win this. All the best." "Leave winning, I'm so excited to see your dance, I've never seen before!!".

"Are you both coming to see me?" I said hesitantly. "Yeah, we are," my mother answered. "Btw alpha said that your highness want to see all of those who baked those sweets, after your competition you can go meet him" My father stated
Yes, I said in response. "Oh and Alex will drop you off, he has been waiting for you" .Well, why is he holding out for me?I said goodbye to them and immediately went to sit on the passenger seat of Alex's car.

Alex was seated in the car, looking quite appealing."Where should I drop you off?" Alex enquired as I sat down. "Um, stella's studio," I answered. "All right," he replied.

I assumed that today would be as quiet as usual, but I didn't anticipate Alex speaking once more. He responded with "umm I heard you are competing in sesonal competition,I hope you win" .Well, my gasp more than justified that as I didn't see that coming. I gave him a quick little thank you, turning my gasp into an awkward cough.

We soon arrived at Stella's studio, and I headed in. As soon as I entered, I noticed Jay seated and honing his singing. When he was done, he looked at me and grinned. He asked, "What's up, Aki?" I said, "all right."I asked, "Well, I think someone might be dating but didn't even consider telling their best friend," gesturing to a nearby bouget.He gave me a strange smile and said, "Even I don't know who gave that." "Huh, really?" I asked, shocked. "Yes, it was in the studio once I arrived. No name either. Too strange and creepy."

"Either ways don't worry about it, I'll take care of it, instead you should think about competition" I gave him an worried expression while nodding in agreement with what he said . "I'll come back, you do your practice and relax about makeup and stuffs I will assist you with that ok, see ya" stating that jay departed.

I practiced till I was satisfied, and to replenish our energy, Jay and I had a lunch in between. Jay then assisted me with my costumes and makeup. When he was done, I observed that he froze when I faced him. Perplexed, I said, "What? ""God man, you are too gorgeous, you slayed this look for real," he whispered, and I blushed and murmured, "Thank you."In answer, he gave me a wink.

Stella came to our door after we had finished all of our preparations and offered to drive us to our institution. I rushed to go to the backstage area. I felt a little uneasy when I saw everyone's piercing stares, but I accelerated.

Everyone there looked at me as if I were some kind of extraterrestrial when I arrived. Jay chased them away, screaming "what's wrong with you all can't you see you are making him uncomfortable, please mind your business" He actually grabbed the words I was about to say.

Jay's turn was up next, and I wished him luck as I was so frightened that I didn't even realise it. Grinning in return, he headed towards the stage. There's nothing better than hearing Jay sing, I promise you, while I sit on my queue and enjoy his performance. It was flawless. After he was done, there was a thunderous applause, and he left the stage. Congratulating him, I gave him a hug. I was the next to perform after a few other people's performances. I hope everything goes smoothly.
