Chapter 17

Eleonora

The days flew by and suddenly it was the day of the big performance. Jen and ma had convinced most of the cast to come and promote it. We ended up selling out in less than 30 minutes, and we were all excited. I was sitting in my dressing room putting on the last of my eyeshadow when suddenly David entered with Nicki. "We're getting ready, you need to go to the elevator." He says and I smile, getting up, walking to stage captain to pick up my mic and then silently made my way to the elevator. If you took it, you would get on the stairs that they placed on stage. I wave at the other artists passing to go to the stage to open while Nicki, three dancers and I stood on the platform that would take us up the stage. I suddenly heard the first notes of "Gangsta's Paradise" coming from David's mixtable and then nodded at the girls, kneeling on the platform. I checked my receiver and tape that held my mic to my face and then smiled as the elevator started moving.

Keep spending most our lives
Livin' in a gangsta's paradise
Been spending most their lives
Livin' in a gangsta's paradise
We keep spending most our lives
Livin' in a gangsta's paradise
We keep spending most our lives
Livin' in a gangsta's paradise

I start singing the second Akon stops rapping and the elevator halts at the top of the stairs. I rise while singing it and I smile as I start walking down the stairs. People are cheering everywhere and Nicki takes over rapping again. I smile and wave at the crowd. I dance with the other artists while again singing the chorus with them. After the song ends everyone scurries off the stage and I remain with David and Akon. I smile as the first notes of 'sexy bitch' start and start the routine as I see the dancers standing between the curtains, waiting for the chorus to start. I smile as I start to flirt with Akon, then make my way over to dance on the stairs and I dance with the girls.

They say she low down
Its just a rumor and I don't believe em
They say she needs to slow down
The baddest thing around town

Akon sings as he turns to me and walks to me. "This is for you!" he mouths and I smile as he starts the chorus. We dance a while together, flirt with both artists and dancers and I smile as Akon makes his way over the narrow walk leading to a podium in the middle of the crowd. I smile as he finishes the song and I make my way off stage.

The night continues happily and suddenly I have to rush off stage after the last song before my wardrobe change and I run to the screen, undressing myself and putting on my blouse, skirt, black knee-length socks and heels. I throw off my cap and release my ponytail, putting only the few inches before my ear in a small ponytail. "Two minutes." A lady yells and I quickly swipe off my dark brown lipstick to replace it with a wine red colour. I run off to the stage and smile as I see them performing Kat Graham's 'Sassy'. As they finish, I walk in pure darkness over to the stairs and sit down at the middle of the stairs. One of the orchestra people hands me the torch I need to lighten and I nod as he hands me the lighter. They play the first notes and I light the torch. "Oh if there's one thing to be taught, It's dreams are made to be caught and friends can never be bought." I sing as the lights are now dim and everyone focusses on me as I walk towards the middle of the narrow path towards the middle platform while singing. There is an iron bucket of water in the middle and I put my torch in it and keep singing happily. "Welcome to the other of dreamers, brothers, sisters, others." I sing and everyone claps along while I sing. "Let's start a riot tonight, a pack of lions tonight. In this world, he who stops won't get anything he wants." I sing as I dance at the platform. I smile as I see everyone cheer at the bridge and start my walk back to the main stage, giving people high-fives. "Running our own campaign, running the whole shebang!" I sing and everyone sings as the lights return again. People clap and I wave as I walk off stage, to get hugged. "That was so intimate, like a hope speech!" Sia exclaims and I smile, hugging her. "Three more songs to go for me and then the encore." I say and they smile. A couple of songs later and it's time for 'Little Bad Girl' which we named 'Little Bad Nora'. I walk on stage and smile as the song starts, improvising my dancemoves as we go. I smile as I flirt with Taio and Ludacris, I blow kisses at the people in the audience and smile as we go. At the end, Ludacris grabs my hand and places a gentle kiss on it, making me giggle a little bit. The crowd is out of their mind as I feel a small buzz indicating my mic is on. The next tune kicks in, Katy Perry's 'I kissed a girl' and I smile as the guys run off stage
