DAYS OF SUMMER ( Either Moving On Or Giving Up )

Thirty Three

My hands are shaking because now I'm gonna hear if I win this competition or not. I'm sitting beside Amanda.

Nana is waiting in front with Aunt Christa. I breathe in. If I don't win, it's okay. I'm fine. It's okay if I don't get to make a my own recital. There's a plenty of time because from this moment, I won't waste my time thinking about times that had passed.

All of the contestants come into one room to see judges. The judges all smile at us. And all of my nerves are erased instantly. It's okay, Summer.

"All of you perform well. But we can only give two recital to two winners. And we will instantly make two winners into sophomore year in the school. We really all want to give you all recitals. But we can't, so I apologize sincerely," the female judge says. Her smile eases all of my thoughts.

I'm okay if I don't win. I'll be fine.

"And the second winner is Gregory Mccal with his beautiful song, Dana Come Back. It's weird to hear that song," the old one judge says. "But the melody is so beautiful until you make us want to tell Dana to come back."

All of us laugh. The guy, Gregory comes forward and jumps around. There's one last spot. "And in the first place, there is .. Amanda Jones with the song Pictures of the Sky! Her song made us think about how we should love earth. Difficult to be composed, but she did it perfectly. She even brought a little romance in it. We all love it."

Amanda smiles at me and hugs me. I smile too. It's sad, but it's okay. There's still an audition. I still can get into the uni. After all, I had wasted my time before. These people, they all had prepared more than me.

The male judge with glasses suddenly step forward. "Hello, my name is Juliano Tere. I'm the dean in the compositing and musical faculty. You see, all of you impressed me. I'm so proud of the two winners. Just like the prizes said your song will be in classic 101 radio and you two will hold recitals each. And for those who didn't win. It's okay. I can see bright futures from all of you."

I smile. We're going to be okay. I'm going to prepare the best for my next audition.

Mr. Juliano smiles. "There are two contestants that brought me to tears and so did the two judges. Even one particularly had a standing ovation. The first is Karla Evans! Your song, Fly High was composed beautiful. The song flied into our hearts. Your song will be in classic 101 too."

The girl, Karla Evans, she seems a bit older. It makes me think that I still have so many times that shouldn't be wasted. She cries a bit, but I think it's kinda a right time to cry.

"And there's one that made me into tears. Her song was up and down. Sorrow and joy, but the ending teared me up. And all of the audience gave her a standing ovation."

For a moment, I look up. Mr. Juliano smiles. "She surprised me before in the last year audition. She got in, but I heard there's a condition, so she resigned. But she's back, even with one very beautiful and soft song. Please step forward, Miss Summer Lucia. You made me proud once again. You're back again this time with song that teared everyone and brought smile to us. Days of Summer is an impressive song."

I almost cry. Oh my! My song is liked by many.

"Just like Ms. Evans, your song will be in classic 101 radio and because you got in last time. This time I give you a confirmation to get back into the class."

I gasp. I can't believe it. Mr. Juliano smiles. "But, you'll start over. I'm sure you're fine with it, right?"

I nod. This time, I jump around. I hug Amanda. My song will be in classic 101 and I can go back to uni again! I'm so happy.
