"Are you excited?" Ms. James asks me
"Very" I smile
"How about we get started then?" She says bringing me over to a table where my contract is
I take a seat as two photographers are snapping my picture. Today was the day. The day I would officially sign with Capital records and start my music career.
"Whenever you're ready" Ms. James says
I nod, taking a deep breath. It grows silent as I pick up my pin and sign my signature. Claps are heard around the room as flashes are seen. I smile before being brought into a hug with Ms. James.
"I'm happy to have you apart of the family, Nova" she smiles
"Glad to be apart of it" I smile back
.•*•.
"I'm so proud of you!" Claire exclaims jumping on me
I giggle as she plants her feet back on the ground. Once she faces me, us both squealing before going back to normal.
"Thank you for being here for me" I smile
"Of course. Can't get rid of me that easily" she jokes
I giggle again before intertwining our arms together and heading over to the snack table. I grab a strawberry munching on it before being interrupted by Ms. James.
"The press would like a couple pictures and a couple questions" she smiles
I nod as she holds my onto my hand, pulling me along. Claire isn't too far behind me, supporting me from a far with a smile on her face.
As we travel to another room, flashes are seen throughout the room, almost blinding me.
"Nova! Hey Nova! Over here!"
"Nova"
"Nova, quick question"
"Okay, okay everyone, Nova will answer all your questions. One at a time please" Ms. James says silencing everyone in the room
The flashes start back up and hands are then raised, waiting to be called on. I smile waiting as someone is called.
"Yes"
"Nova. How do you feel at this very moment?"
"Well, I feel very grateful. I'm thankful to be here and to be signed to this amazing label" smile
"Next question"
"Do you have a boyfriend?"
"No, I do not" I chuckle
"How does your family feel about this accomplishment?"
My smile drops a bit at the word family. I clear my throat, giving off an awkward smile before answering the question.
"I would say that my family is very proud of me. We may be small but they are very proud of my accomplishment" I say
"No more questions at this time. Please enjoy some refreshments" Ms. James says dismissing everyone
I let out a sigh before stepping down from the podium. I then go on a search, trying to find Claire in the sea of people, only to bump into someone, falling down.
"Oh my god. I'm so sorry. Are you okay?" The voice asks helping me up
I let out a chuckle at the how flustered they sounded. I hold onto their hands as they pull me up, steadying me.
"It's fine. No harm, no bruise" I joke looking up at them
Seeing their face, everything seems to stop. I look at him in shock as he gives me the same look.
"What are you doing here? Are you following me?" I question
"No. I'm just here because my manager required us to come. What are you doing here?" He questions
"I just got signed. This press conference is for me" I explain
"Well, congratulations" he smiles as he continues to hold onto my hands
His stare continues, not noticing the blinding flashes of the cameras as our picture was being taken.
