The Scholarship

Tour?! ~ 29

We all woke up to the sound of the phone.

In which my brand new label explains that I have a manager and how we are going to meet up. They gave me her number and said that we should also discuss about a possible tour sometime. I ask about what I should do, saying about mine and Connor's relationship because some companies don't like people don't like things like this to be announced. But they say that I should just talk to my manager about that.

My new manager is called Lisa by the way, and I am still yet to tell my mum about the whole thing! But I'll phone her after breakfast.

I turn around to get the cereal and see Lucy.

"Well...?" She says...

"Well what...?" I reply...

"Well who was that? Was it any news on Pauline?"

"Oh no." I look down to my feet, "It was just my.......label?" It sounds weird saying that, that I'm going to be a star! So I just daydream for a about a minute, I think, until I'm snapped out of it. Literally.

"What?!"

"Oh yeah, they just gave me my managers number!!!!" I get very excited now and We both start screaming! "Ok so we are going to meet up and talk about a possible tour!! Which of course I'm very excited about but at the same time scared. You now because it's so new and I don't know what to do!" I ramble on, and do so fora few minutes.

When by doing so I catch my boyfriend's attention, "What was that all about?" He asks.

"Oh I'm going to meet my manager!" I squeal.

"That's awesome congrats!!"

"Why thank you." I courtesy.

Then we both laugh.

And I go off to text her!

To: Lisa

So hey Lisa, the record company said to text you and arrange a meet up. So this is Bailey if you were wondering. And when are you next free? Today? I'm excited to meet you!! X

I waited for about two minutes for an answer.

From: Lisa

Hi Bailey! Yeah this is Lisa your new manager and I'm excited to meet you! They let me listen your audition and I'm loving it! You're really talented and I'm loving you already!
And yeah, I'm free today. X

To: Lisa

Thanks! I put a lot of effort into it! Where are you? Like where should we meet up? Are you anywhere near the Starbucks on the corner near Tesco? Around 2? X

And I instantly get a reply this time, from obviously being recently online.

From: Lisa

Yeah that's fine with me! We can discuss things there then! Like the tour....., which I bet your excited about! I'll see you then! X

I go back into the kitchen/living room and tell all the guys what that phone call was about, as they asked Connor but he said for them to wait and ask me. As I explained smirked sprawled across their faces. And I just laughed and walked out.

I then dialled my mum's number and waited for the rings to stop ringing...

It took a few until she actually picked up but she finally did.

"Hey mum."

"Hi sweetie."

"I just thought that I'd tell you that I'm a singer...." I say, leaving as little for her to read into, waiting for her reaction.

"What? What are you talking about? Is this a joke?" She questioned. Not like excited but just in her casual voice.

"Yeah, I when Connor took me out to London we kindof auditioned as a joke for this thing and made it! Now I'm going to meet my manager at Starbucks today at 2. I just remembered, and yesterday just didn't seem like the right time to mention it." I go into deeper meaning.

"Oh that's amazing honey!! Well done, I'm so proud of you! I can't wait to see you and congratulations! I knew you could make it from a little girl! We need to celebrate when I come back!"

"And they were talking about a tour, if that was possible. But that might not actually happen. So don't get too excited!"

"Alright, well I'll see you soon! Love you!"

"Love you too mum."

And I hang up after about 10 seconds of realisation.

Realisation of what's actually happening.

You see, I was dreaming of becoming a singer from a little girl. Like every female child I wanted to be a ballerina and typical things like that. But I've always wanted to be a singer and an author. Which seem quite in reach!
