*don't play song*

Y/n's pov. 

" i don't think i can! " i panic and pass the mic to Mariko.

" yes you can just go " she gave me back the mic.

" hell to the no! " i exclaimed.

" Oni~Chan push her " she smiles innocently to me.

" what?! " i exclaimed.

Sasuke then holds my shoulder and started pushing me.

" no!, no! " i whisper/screech.

" fuck you " i whisper/yell.

When he walk back to the backstage, i realized I'm in front of everyone. The light then shines on me.

Oh fuck.

I saw Aaron sitting on the front row with dad douche next him.

My eyed widened.

The music immediately play and i froze. I didn't know what to do except. . . . .

Sing.

*play song*

Song : Praying
By : Kesha

[ You ]
Well, you almost had me fooled
Told me that I was nothing without you
Oh, but after everything you've done
I can thank you for how strong I have become

I close my eyes.

[ You ]
'Cause you brought the flames and you put me through hell
I had to learn how to fight for myself
And we both know all the truth I could tell
I'll just say this is I wish you farewell

I open my eyes and it landed on dad, making eye contact.

[ You ]
I hope you're somewhere prayin', prayin'
I hope your soul is changin', changin'
I hope you find your peace
Falling on your knees, prayin'

I turn to Mariko and she smiles as she continues to keep playing the piano, i turn back to the crowd.

[ You ]
I'm proud of who I am
No more monsters, I can breathe again
And you said that I was done
Well, you were wrong and now the best is yet to come
'Cause I can make it on my own, oh
And I don't need you, I found a strength I've never known
I'll bring thunder, I'll bring rain, oh-oh
When I'm finished, they won't even know your name

My eyes landed back to dad.

You brought the flames and you put me through hell
I had to learn how to fight for myself
And we both know all the truth I could tell
I'll just say this is I wish you farewell

Sasuke takes over the piano and Mariko joins as she walk to the stage with me, holding the mic.

[ You & Mariko ]
I hope you're somewhere prayin', prayin'
I hope your soul is changin', changin'
I hope you find your peace
Falling on your knees, prayin'

[ You ]
Oh, sometimes I pray for you at night
Someday, maybe you'll see the light
Oh, some say, in life, you're gonna get what you give
But some things only God can forgive

I close my eyes and lean my head back when i hit high note

[ You & Mariko ]
I hope you're somewhere prayin', prayin'
I hope your soul is changin', changin'

[ You ]
I hope you find your peace
Falling on your knees, prayin'

The crowd stood up and gave us an applause. We both hold hands and bowed. I run back to the backstage and hug Mariko for second and pull apart quickly.

Well, hugging is not my thing.

" you did it! " Mariko cheered.

I couldn't stop smiling and i see Zane standing there with his cheek rising, meaning his smiling. My cheeks flush and walk over him.

" well? " i asked as i hold my hands behind me.

" i gotta say, that was amazing " he said, i flush more red.

" i didn't think i could hit that high note " i said.

" it was a perfect melody " he said and hug me for a second, we ull apart quickly.

" hugging is not my thing " i said.

" same here " he said.

~ Time Skip ~

It's time to announce the winner. Nadeen is excited and I'm nervous.

" the winner is. . . . . " the girl said.

I close my eyes and Mariko cross her fingers, Sasuke just stands there.

" Y/n and Mariko! " me and Mariko had our eyes shot open.

I gasped and her jaw dropped. Sasuke push us and we both went to the stage. The girl gave the trophy to Mariko, she hugs me and i just smile.

" we did it! " she shake my shoulder.

" i-i-i can see that " i said as she shakes me.

" see you all on the next competition! " the girl said and left.

Next competition?

We went backstage and i grab Mariko's wrist.

" you didn't say this was a trial " i said.

" i didn't know either, that's why I'm going to find Yuno " she said.

" Yuno? " i asked.

" just follow me " she said.

I followed her and we went out the hall and see a girl with pink hair and red eyes.

" Yuno, you said it was only a competition " Mariko said.

" oh Mariko, when are you going to understand what a competition means, you'll have to practice another two rounds " Yuno smirks.

" anata wa meinudesu " Sasuke said. (you're a bitch)

" what? " i asked.

" it means she's a bitch " Mariko explains.

Yuno cackles.

" baka " she said and walk away.

" baka? " i asked.

" she call us dumb " Sasuke said.

That bitch.

Mariko sighs.

" oh and the next competition is this summer " Yuno appeared behind me and disappear.

" how did you-did she just-what? " i was confuse.

" i don't know either " Sasuke said and left.

~ Time Skip ~

" so, what does Mariko means? " i asked.

" i don't really know, it's my great, great, great, great grandmother's name and my dad said i look like her so he named me Mariko " she explain.

" i kinda like it " i said.

" it's what everyone says " she said.

" so, care to teach me some Japanese language of yours? " i asked, she chuckled.

" sure "

From now on, i think I'm just gonna add anime characters, lol, also, from now on i changed my name from Naome_hashigana to Mariko_Murakami, so don't think Naome is gone, Mariko is Naome, Naome is Mariko.

Does that make sense?

Bye!
