On My Own: Summer Vacation a Diggy Simmons Love Story

Chapter 11: Showtime

Elana P.O.V

5:30 guest were already coming into the building. Luckily I wasn’t the first person out on stage. Jawan performed first then Khalil then Jasmine. I was last but it was a pattern. I had 3 sets with different types of songs slow, medium, and fast. The first set was fast. Man I was nervous. The make up artist did my make up. I looked at myself in the mirror scared but confident that I could pull this off.

We arrived at the building where the show was held. We went inside and found our seats. There were tables on the main floor and seats on the sides. The stage was medium sized. We sat at a table towards the center and Tristen came over to me.

“Dan you ready for the show?” She said excitedly.

“Yeah, but where’s Elana? I saved her a seat.” I motioned the empty seat next to me.

“Uh…she said she was going to sit with Twist since she couldn’t find you.” Tristen looked down at her phone.

“Well tell her to come over here.” I said.

“I can’t find her. But I’m about to sit here and so is Iris. We need to be able to film.” Tristen plopped down in a seat next to me. Minutes later Iris sat too. We patiently as my homie Black the Beast finally came out on stage.

“How is everybody doing tonight?” He said in a cheerful voice.

Everyone in the audience said “good.”

“Alright well I put on this show to broadcast some teen talent and as well as one new one. After working in the studio with her; I just had to do a show because this girl got talent. So you will be seeing multiple performances by her later on in the show. But right now I want ya’ll to give it up for Jawan!” He walked off stage and Jawan came on. The crowd was screaming in hype. I smiled as he started performing Keisha and two other songs. He was killing it on stage. He left off and next came Khalil. Tristen and Iris started filming for him.

When I heard Khalil performing Girlfriend ringtone, I started getting butterflies in my stomach.

“Okay Elana it’s time to put on your outfit.” My stylist grabbed for the rack of clothes that sat in the corner. I got out of my seat. I put on this: http://www.polyvore.com/opening_performance/set?id=55222122 I looked at myself in the mirror. By then Jasmine was performing. The stage director came in and guided me backstage. My dancers stood in the front. I was even more nervous. Jasmine finished the ending of her song. The crowd erupted in cheer. My heart started beating quickly and my nearest dancer patted my back.

“Coming next to the stage is some new talent. Her voice will amaze you and the dancing is phenomenal. She requested for me to say her name at the end of her first set so here she is coming to the stage.” Black got off the stage and the curtains rose. The stage light showed from ahead shining brightly. The music started playing: (pretend she made the song obviously she didn’t)  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjSeVGmZgHA The dancers started to come out and dance. Just before the singing of the song I came out and danced along with them. They moved out the way and I headed to the front; revealing my face. I heard loud cheers as I continued to sing the song, My heart pounding out of my chest.

I looked closely at the girl. I know that’s not who I think it is. Tristen and Iris started filming and cheering.

“Go Elana!” They said in unison.

My eyes widened as I realized it was her. Her body moving was moving along to the beat. I was mesmerized by her voice and her outfit. She kind of looked different. I took out my phone and gave it to Russell so he could record. I sat there speechless as she performed the rest of the song. After that song she performed http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQcHFSqoDe4 and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIriGLondKw&feature=related I bit my lip a little and she went back stage. The crowd went crazy and Black came back on stage.
