I Believe

4: janice

Now I was really confused about what was going on. It's only my first day here and so much has already happened. What is the Next Generation Project? Is it some type of group project where we're not like normal groups? Why is it so important? Why doesn't anyone want us to know about it? I gathered all my points together. 1: it's big. 2: it's important. 3: 525 trainees are in it.

"Oh my god." I said out loud. "Are we in a group with 525 people?!"

"What are you talking about?" Cerlina asked.

"Do you know what the Next Generation Project is?" I asked her.

"No clue." She shakes her head. "Why?"

"Just curious." I went onto my bed. "Good Night."

"Night."

"Higher." Kathy instructed me.

"I can't go higher. My voice is going to crack." I muttered.

"If I said you can go higher, you can." She says. "Are you hungry? Is that why you can't reach your high notes?" I shook my head.

"I'm fine." I turn back around.

"Aish, look at you. As you grow older, you grow taller and your attitude changes. Are you tired of this room? You've been coming here everyday for a year."

"I love this room, because you're always in here with me." I smiled at her.

"You sure know how to make me feel good. I wish I can do the same but, you don't look as cute as you were a year ago, because you're not chubby anymore."

"Do I look more mature then?" I asked.

"Yea, you do. I wouldn't believe you if you told me you just turned 12. You height matches though, you're barely 5 feet."

"I will grow taller than you one day. Just watch." I put on my headphones.

"I thought lack of water made your lips dry. It's your smack talking that made it look this ugly." She slaps my mouth gently.

"Hahaha I love you."

"Yea yea yea I love you too. Sing this line again." I did as she said.

"Louder. More feeling." I did as she told.

"Listen. Did you know why I made you sing this song? Isn't weird talking about your girlfriend when you don't have one? Your voice is very monotone right now. Close your eyes and imagine a scenery inside your head, thinking about what the song's meaning is and live it, express it then sing it." She said. I nodded happily cause I understood. I did as she told, and got her face of satisfaction.

"I am very pleased. There are still some parts you have to work on, then we'll switch to an even harder song." I nodded. "See you tomorrow." She waves at me.

"Bye bye!" I wave back at her. I took my water bottle and ran across the nice hallway to my dance practice room.

"Annyeonghaseyo" I bowed.
