It was a new day and thoughts of becoming a superstar filled Angela's head once more. She dreamed of singing in front of a massive audience, she dreamed of wearing all the fancy clothes celebrities wore, she dreamed of receiving awards, she even dreamed of going international. This made her want this even more. She had to win this.
She quickly pulled out her laptop from her laptop bag and started making some enquiries. If she was going to win this, she would need a trainer, and not just any trainer, a professional one.
She could pull out some cash from her savings account to pay whoever would train her and so that wasn't really a problem for her. Angela knew she could always count on George, her driver.
She searched for names online but couldn't come up with anything.
"Angela!" She heard from behind the door. "Estelle?" Angela leaped and opened the door for her. They both hugged. "I brought you breakfast" Estelle said handing Angela a package. "You are a gift from God" Angela said and kissed her on her cheek. Estelle squealed.
"Okay so what are we looking for?" Estelle asked, taking off her shoes and making herself comfortable on Angela's bed. "I need  a trainer, a musical teacher, one of those things" Angela said scratching her hair. "Is that what it's called?"
Angela went on. "I don't know anything about showbiz and I am sure lot's of people will be trained for this. I really don't want to lose"
Angela opened the package and shoved some bread into her mouth and sipped the juice slowly. "I might know someone" Estelle smiled."Thank Heavens!" Angela said in excitement. "You are truly a gift from God" and she hugged her.

Meanwhile...

The twins were seated in their base of no zone. That's how they called it atleast. It was a corner in the hall where they cracked jokes and did all sort of weird experiments.
"Collins, I have a joke for you" Jake said, pulling out one of his weird experiments. "What does Chris like to put in his pies?" " i don't know? Meat?" Collins replied. "No, silly! His teeth" Jake snickered.
They all burst into laughter. "Y'all are jokes, joke's on you" Ellen said rolling her eyes and walking towards the garden clutching to her book.
A couple of minutes later, Angela skidded downstairs with Estelle. "Hey, you followed the sound of my voice!" Collins beamed. "Well it is very hard to ignore" Angela replied sarcastically. "Where is Ellen?"
"In the gardens" Jake replied.
Angela and Estelle went outside to talk to Estelle about everything. Angela always sought Ellen's advice and support before taking a major decision. They sat outside and spoke for hours, thinking of ways to outsmart their dad. Firstly, they did not want him to know about her sneaking out for practice and secondly, they did not want him knowing about the competition. Mr. Anderson hated those things and would ban her outright if he found out.

So, they were set. She called the number Estelle gave her and did her best to sound professional as possible. “Hello, good afternoon” Angela spoke politely. She wondered what the voice of her trainer sounded like. “Afternoon, how may I help you” a deep female voice replied. “I’d like to meet you, to train and become better for the competition” Angela continued. “I’m really looking forward” “Okay. Meet me tomorrow at the memorial auditorium. 8:00 am” the woman replied. “Thank you” Angela replied back and she hang up.
The three girls jumped in excitement. “My sister is going to be on the bill boarddddddd” Ellen yelled. “Yo, bestfriend of the celeb coming through” Estelle squeaked in and she and Ellen gave each other a high five.
“What are you guys excited about?” Collins asked as he, Jake and Chris walked in. “Collins where is your family? Why can’t you ever mind your business?” Angela asked, changing the topic. “Do any of your family have a grudge with you?” “Nah” Chris beamed.  “We have a carpet; we don’t need a grudge” “No! I mean what are your relations like?” Angela sighed. “All my relations are in USA” Collins replied. Angela walked out. At least she had managed to change the topic.
