Today's the day. The competition was being held somewhere in London. In an auditorium.

I was with Mr. Inchighas. He accompanied me. I am nervous. This is my first time being on stage alone. Usually I'll be on stage with the band.

"Nervous?" He asked me while we patiently wait for our turn.

"A little," I grinned. I am contestant number 1023 and there's like 30 more people before my turned. I feels like Sharpay and Ryan before they performing. I breath in, breath out.

After long waiting, at last. The time has come.

"Number 1023," one of the judge called out my number.

"Good luck!" Mr. Inchighas cheers me up before I get on stage.

"Thanks," I smiled.

I get on stage. Omg. This nervous feeling. It feels like I'm about to explode. Another breath in, breath out. There's 3 judges. They all waited for me to say something. 'This is competition. Not a concert,' I remind myself a few times.

"Hello. Tell us your name, age, which school you represent and what instrument will you play," one of the judge said. She smiled. Pretty smiled.

I smiled. "Hello, everyone. My name is Natalie Osback. I am 16 years old. I represent Anthony Brandon Music School. Today I'll play guitar, piano, violin and koto,"

"Amazing! Can't wait to see your perfomance. You may start now," she smiled. Showing off her beautiful white teeth. I nodded.

The first instrument I play was the koto. So here's the plan. Start with something that I'm not really good but I know how to play first and end up with I'm confident the most which is guitar, of course.

Once I finish played the koto, I started to play the violin. I played 'Let Her Go' by Passenger. After that I played the piano. I played a song that Cora once taught me. Lastly, my favorite. Guitar. I played Space Note most famous song. I put all my concentration on it.

After I finished my performance, all three judges stood up and give applause. The audience did the same. When the situation has calm down, I bowed.

"You go, girl! I have to admit that you're awesome. Can I know where do you koto learn how to play the koto?" One of judges asked me.

"Thank you. Of course. I played in Japan. My family moved to Japan when I was 5 years old," I smiled.

"That's so cool. Well, thank you, Natalie," she smiled. I went back stage and Mr. Inchighas looks so happy. We both high five.

"I told you, you're good!" Mr. Inchighas smiled. He's really happy.

"Let's grab some burger," Mr. Inchighas said before we both headed back to ABMS.

"Sure," I smiled.

Both us walked pass by a few fast food restaurants. Then suddenly my eyes caught on something interesting.

University of London.

Come and join us here!

Dr. Donald Osback will be given a talk about how to take care of yourself and people around you!

"Dr. Donald Osback," I muttered.

"What?" Mr. Inchighas asked me.

"Is University of London far from here?" I looked at him.

"Not really. From here only takes 30 minutes if you walk. Why?" Mr. Inchighas looked curious.
