The two weeks flew by. I read who knows how many songs. To my surprise some were really good but most were just creepy. No, creepy was an understatement, they were just plain stalker like. I guess you can't be famous with the cons of the job.

It's Thursday and I'm making a card tower after my shower. My hair was dripping wet and my pjs were starting to become damp from my hair. As I was gently placing the last card of the second deck on, Jamie literally threw the door open, shattering the tower which then the cards slid off my desk onto the floor. Turning around slowly, Jamie stood with her hands on her hips and a smile playing on her lips. "Just so you know, big day tomorrow!" she said, obviously smug about something. Moving my head to the side slightly as I often did when I was confused saying "what?" Rolling her eyes, she announced "Daily is announcing the winner to her competition tomorrow!" Oh hell no. My eyes widened saying "Shit!" "Well, judging from your face you are going to be having a looooong night ahead of you, good night and sweet dreams." Jamie skipped off, leaving me pissed and in a massive mess of cards. I began to gather the few cards in my lap before Jamie slammed the door open again. "By the way, don't forget to print!" she said cheekily, wagging her finger at me before leaving my door wide open leaving me to yell "Shut the damn door Jamie!"She just laughed before closing her own softly. Looking around at my floor and laptop, I could definatly see this was going to be a looooong night.

"Penny...Penny...Penny...Penny!!!" said a annoying sing song voice. Shifting slightly I mumbled something like "go away mum." The annoying voice just giggled as I felt something began to tickle the back of my neck. I shot off the chair and began to dance around trying to get the bug off my neck. Then I heard Jamie before I saw her. Her usually contagious laughter cause me to stand in the middle if the room with my hands on my hips as I watched her clutch her stomach in laughter. When she finished her little 'fit' she was wiping away tears from her eye but still gasping slightly. Turning away, my mirror hanging next to the desk showed my hair as a complete bird mess and I looked like I haven't sleep in weeks. I looked like I was in hell and my eyes were very sleepy, still half closed. Squeezing my eyes shut, I moved to my adjoining bathroom to splash water on my face trying to wake myself up from my half dead slumber. Poking my head around the door, I stared at the clock whose little hands pointed at 11:23am. My jaw sorta dropped a little as I started to swear loudly. "What,what did I do?" Jamie said as she lifted her head from the papers at my desk. The papers had my top 100 written songs with details of each person, all in alphabetical order. A small habit of mine. She was staring intently at one page while holding another in her right hand. "Jamie!! The time!" I exclaimed. "Oh, yeah. Penny we leave in 7!" she said spinning around in the chair to face the door and standing. Jamie was already changed into a clingy dress, already dressing the 'famous singer manager' part. I became a tornado, running around the room for a decent outfit to sneak into the stadium hall where we are holding the announcement. I couldn't find my backstage pass so my lovely clean room is officially a disaster zone, but Janie has a knack of finding my stuff so she just stood there with two fingers out stretched with my embarrassing back stage pass photo smiling at me. Snatching it out of her hand, we both hurried out of the apartment and into the waiting limo outside.

Arriving at the centre, we were escorted to the back door and almost ran to the change rooms. Stylist stood in the centre as the door opened and waved their hair torture devices around. In under five minutes, they somehow worked their magic and turned boring old Penny into Daily. Curtsying at my reflection in the large mirror, I'm ushered to the stage where I was given a mic and an envelope. Walking onto the stage, it's like an adrenaline rush goes through my body and I smile as a roar of approval is heard throughout the room. Then suddenly a large hush echoes and the crowd is silent, waiting in anticipation for the big announcement. I'm actually really excited cause I've always been a people person but just too shy to say hello. "So you guys ready for me to announce the winner?" A whisper breaks out from the crowd. This is what I do to bring people together, I thought proudly. "And so after much discussion and arguments between me and my lovely manager." I pause and flicker my eyes towards the wings where Jamie is waiting patiently and gives me a thumbs up. Smiling again I continue saying " I'm happy to announce the winner is..." Tugging at the envelope to open it, it tore in half, including the winners name. "Whoops" I mutter but i can hear it loud and clear trough out the large room. Frantically looking to the wings for Jamie, but she was no where to be seen I looked back to the waiting crowd. Smiling nervously, I felt my confidence slowly drain from me as I looked down at the shredded note in my hand. Then I heard God in the room in the form of Jamie. "Sorry for the wait folks but the lucky winner is... Dameon Reed! Please come up to the stage so we can see you." I stand in absolute shock as I watch my teenage crush walk onto the stage with his slow, laid back walk. Feeling my face pale I swallowed hard as I watched him approach me with that handsome smirk on his face as he shock my outstretched hand with me. My nightmares are starting to become true again.
