Otniel Romeo's Stories

After school in the afternoon...

Leslie talked to her mom on phone,"Hey Mom, I'm sorry I will arrive home late. I had a difficult homework so I'm going to do it with Brigitte.". Her mom seemed allowing her. After she said 'bye' to her mother, Brigitte said to Leslie (raising her index finger),"Aha! You lied to your mom!". Leslie replied,"Hello, that's the only way to make her allow me to come to other's houses. Moreover, we need to write the song, right?". Brigitte answered proudly,"Okay, okay, you are the best bestie I've ever had!". She and Leslie embraced each other and went to the school bus.


Leslie told Jonah, the bus driver, that she was going to get off at Brigitte's house. Unfortunately, Jonah was lack of trust. So upset, Leslie called her mom on phone again and let her talk to Jonah. After that, Jonah understood and allow Leslie to get off the bus when they arrived at Brigtte's house.

At Brigitte's house...

Brigitte and Leslie walked inside. Brigitte addressed her mother,"Mom, I'm home!". Leslie politely greeted Brigitte's mother when they came face to face,"Good afternoon, Mrs. Brown!". Brigitte's mom answered happily,"Oh hello Leslie, it's nice to see you!". Leslie replied,"Nice to see you too, Madam!". Brigitte and Leslie walked to Brigitte's room. Vega the shih tzu dog ran cheerfully and licked their feets. Simon was playing an airplane toy through the rooms, he accidentally hit Leslie. With fear, he ran away to his mom. Brigitte and Leslie giggled, saying that Simon might still have trauma since Leslie liked to pinch his cute cheeks.

In Brigitte's bedroom...

Leslie asked,"So, what kind of song would you like to sing?". Brigitte slowly answered,"Hmmm... I have no idea. I already have some songs that I've written before but all of the lyrics seem a bit childish.".
"I see. Well, you had a crush on a guy at school, right?".
"No, not at all! Who said that?".
"Oh, come on. Everyone knows that you are interested with Edward. The way you look at him, talk to him, and many more.".
"Please Leslie, I'm just a girl who has never been seen. While people in the school got their eyes on him. I am so not his type! I....".
Before Brigitte finished talking, Leslie stopped her by putting her finger on Brigitte's lips,"Sssstttt! Remove the unconfidence and inferior feelings from yourself! My question is, you like him, don't you?".
Brigitte took a deep breath and said,"To be honest, I like him since 2 months ago. But I feel like he doesn't realize it.".
Leslie said that it could be a good idea to write the song, which meant to express her best friend's feeling to Simon. Brigitte agreed.

From day to day, they worked on the song. Leslie made the lyrics, while the music was composed by Brigitte. Brigitte practiced singing the song everyday. Her mother, father, and Simon laughed everytime she sang the song while she was taking a bath. When the song was ready, she recorded it as a demo and sent it to the competition's committee.

The day of the celebration...

Brigitte was overly nervous. Like usual, her body felt cold and like want to defecate. Leslie cheered her up, giving her a cup of warm green tea. Shortly afterwards, Brigitte came out. She thanked her best friend who always encouraged her. They went to the school's court. The celebration was about to start. After greetings for a few minutes, the MCs said loudly,"We welcome, Pink.BLONDIE...!. A blonde-haired 18 years old girl came out right to the stage along with her band. She was Gianna Levine, the lead vocalist of Pink.BLONDIE. Then she greeted loudly,"Good Morning Westlake High School!". The audiences enthusiasticly shouted,"Whoo-hoo!".
"Oh come on, where are your voices, people? Westlake High School!"
"Whoooooo-hoooooooooo!"
"That's awesome! It's totally a pleasure to see everyone of you here! Are you ready to rock?"
"Yeah!"
"Are you really really really ready to rock?"
"Yeeaahhhhh!!!"
"Let's hit it!", said her to the band.

The music started playing. Gianna sang with a full appreciation in the song.

A few times later...

The singing competition was starting to be held. All of the participants were ready behind the stage, some of them are nervous, but there were also who were overly confident. Brigitte was still nervous a little bit, but she can stand it. She was the sixth participant to perform. Leslie stood in the front row, getting closer to the stage. After five participants had performed their songs, the MCs said,"Okay, we already watched 5 performances. Don't you think all of them were awesome? Now let's see who is going to perform and I'm sure this one won't be less awesome! Here she is, Brigitte Brown!". The students screamed happily, but there were also some whispering sounds,"Brigitte? Are you sure? Can she sing? I haven't even heard her singing voice?". Leslie prepared her camera to record Brigitte's performance. She secretly planned to upload it to YouTube. Brigitte came to the stage, taking an electric guitar. She played the intro of the song and started to sing.


People were so surprised when they heard Brigitte's voice. It was a wonderful voice that they had not heard before. Handclapping sounds were heard and Leslie screamed aloud when she finished singing. Brigitte's classmates shouted,"We want more! We want more! We want more!".

A few hours later...

In the end of the celebration event, the MCs were about to inform who became the winner of the singing competition. Every participant anxiously hoped to be the winner, all of the audiences were quiet. Drumroll sound was playing, and when it stopped, the MCs announced,"Congratulations! Brigitte Brown!". The whole court was suddenly filled with noise. Brigitte cried of happiness, her dream finally came true. Her friends, especially Leslie, were dissolved in pleasure due to her win. Five guys, including Edward, lifted Brigitte up and bring her to the stage. She received the trophy from Gianna Levine and got a chance to record a song with her. As a matter of fact, there was a student who didn't feel happy with that. Aurelie, the spoiled, mean, and arrogant girl, who also had a crush on Edward, was disqualified by the committee. She and her friends in the girl group were caught doing lip sync. She started planning to bring Brigitte down.
