I snapped out of my thought when i felt a hand tug at my clothes

I turned to look and shuddered a little when I met the angry gaze of the head nun

“Come with me to my office” She instructed walking out of the room and I followed behind her

.

She pushed the door to her office opened and we walked in.

I looked around the office admiring it and a huge sculpture of Mother Mary and Jesus caught my attention, It was really beautiful .

“Miss Noah! the head nun called and I turned to look at her

“ Are you tired of working here? She asked and I shook my head

“Then why were you late?

“I had to take extra lessons because I failed to solve an equation, I explained. I promise it won’t happen again

“Promise? I gave you my rules before employing you and you went against it so why do you think I will believe you again?

Please ma, just give me one more chance, I pleaded. I promise it won’t happen again , I so much love this Job

Fine ,She signed . You can go but if this repeat itself I won’t hesitate to fire you

“Thanks ma. I appreciated .....

I went over to the music room hoping to see the cute guy but was disappointed when I met no one in the room

I walked out of the building and smiled when I saw him leaning on the black sport car with his eyes glued to his phone

Wait a minute! Is that his car?if it is, does it mean he is a Delgado?

*

I walked nervously towards him

hi, I greeted

hi, he greeted meeting my gaze.

I am Candy, I introduced stretching my hands

he looked at my hands and smirked

What do you want?

“ I want you erm ... I want us to be friends”.I stuttered

Friends? Why would I want to be friend with someone I don’t know?he asked gazing intently at me

Fine, if I can’t be your friend, can I be a fan?

Fan?he asked laughing, I am not a celebrity

“You can be one if you want to, you have a great voice all you just need is determination. I said and I heard him sigh

Thanks

“It is nothing, I replied.so can I be your fan?

He stared at me for a while and smiled

“I am chase , it was really meeting you”...

Chase Delgado

*

I smiled thinking about the girl words when she left. She was right ,all I really need is determination

Chase! my aunt called distracting me from my thoughts. What were you thinking about?

Nothing ma

Are you sure? She asked worriedly. I was here for a while but you didn’t noticed

I guess I got bored waiting for you. I drawled

I am sorry for keeping you waiting. She apologised, I had to take care of some things

It is alright aunt, I assured her.

Fine, tell your mother I will come see her soon

Alright aunt . I hugged her

I got into the car and drove off heading for home..

*

*

I drove into the mansion and parked in the garage

I alighted from the car and walked into the house

I met Nick in the sitting room with one of his bitch

hi brother. he greeted smiling, where have you been?

“out. I replied

Out to where ?

“It is none of your business. I replied”

how dare you talk back at me. he yelled while standing up

“Baby please Calm down.his bitch pleaded

“Shut up. he barked and she recoiled in fear

How dare you talk back at me. he repeated , do you know who I am?

And can you please tell me who you are? I asked in sarcasm

I am Nick Delgado, the country most popular singer”

Are you really sure about that? I asked

What do you mean?

Nothing. I replied, just continue with your fun...

*

I headed up the stairs to my father’s room

I knock on the door to his room and waited till he asked me to come in

I pushed the door opened and walked in. he was busy with some files

Chase! he called while studying me. Is anything the matter?

I am ready . I sighed , I am ready to Sing on the big stage

Are you for real?he asked standing up

I nodded

Can you help me realise my Dreams?

Of course son, you made the decision and I am very proud of you

We will start recording as soon as possible....

I walked back home thinking about only one person..... Chase

I can’t believe he agreed to make me his number one fan, ain’t I lucky!...... but how am I going to get to see him again, I forgot to collect his number

Oh candy! you are so dumb

*

It was quite late when I got home. I pushed the door opened and walked in

I met my mom and dad in the sitting room,

“Candy! my mom called smiling, how was work?

I looked at her in surprise. I was expecting her to scold at me for coming home late

I am fine mum, did anything good happen? I mean what is with all the smiles

Princess! my dad called and I knew for sure there was a good news

My dad only calls me Princess when he is in a good mood

He picked up a paper from the stool beside him and handed it to me

“What is this? I asked glancing through it .

Is this for real Dad?. I asked as tears streaked down my face

Yes Princess . he replied, I told my boss about your passion for music and gave me this form.

“I couldn’t believe my dream is about to become a reality

I stared at the paper I was holding , it was scholarship form to Delgado music school

If I perform well at the interview, I might be among the lucky few to get into the school..

I guess this is just the beginning of my dreams......
