Chapter 9

• I got up and walked out of the practice room, heading over to the main hall. I exhaled sharply before opening the door and the moment I stepped in, all eyes were staring at me like I was the celebrity who walked into their daydream.
• I was handsome, cute eyes, straight legs, nice abs, but not everything a lady would want, I was broken inside and I was aware I am a mess, a mess that couldn’t fall in love with just any girl, a mess that despised that word love because I watched it ruin my mother.
• “Hi, Robin.” I heard Katherine’s voice and turn to see her smiling at me, she was beautiful, she wore red shorts and a white top, she tied her hair behind her head and her eyes had twinkles in them, she must be happy she made it after the audition, she was very good at what she does, but she seems lost in the head and heart, just like a robot.
• “Hi.” I curled my lips. “Glad you made it here.”
• “Thank you, you too, I notice you didn’t sing and you left the work for Hinn Carlos to do, this means you are sharing his glory with him,” Katherine said annoyingly and I raised my brows, she was a hard person to like.
• I smirked. “He is the leader of our group, he has to do all the work, we only have to support him, but we work as a team.”
• “I just hope I wouldn’t have to do that after I am made the female lead.” She said with smiles on her lips, but I shook my head on this nutcase, sure enough, she has big dreams.
• “Why are you so excited about being the female lead?” I was curious since they have to do a lot and looking at how tiny she looks, she doesn’t just fit in on it.
• “Because that has been my dream ever since I was a kid, I watch a lot of…”
• “Hey,” I snapped my fingers and she stopped talking. “I am not interested in your stories or dreams. I only hope you will wake up in order not to feel shattered when you are not made the lead at the end.”
• I lean close to her face and she moves her head backwards, I feel the others are staring at us. “Just take this as advice from a person who was once your tutor.”
• “You are saying nonsense.”
• I gave her a once-over. “I don’t want to see you cry, that's all,” I smirked and made my way over to Hinn Carlos who turned his eyes at me.
• “I didn’t know you were that close to Katherine.”
• “There are a lot of things you don’t know.” I smile as I turn to look at Ivana who looked away from me immediately. What would Hinn do if I told him I saw Ivana’s skin before he did?
• “And what is that?” Hinn asked me curiously but I ignored his question, he should figure it out by himself. “Robin, I know you…”
• “Good morning student.” The deep voice of Mr Donald who had just walked into the hall made Hinn stop in his speech and he turned to look at Mr Donald, not after glaring at me.
• I smirked, Hinn Carlos may have Ivana, but I still have my plans, I had told her about it at the hospital, she was stubborn and wishes to dare me, well, this would be fun, a lot of fun and I would have to dance to the beat since they had just started playing it to me.
• “First I will start by saying congratulations to all of you who had made it past the audition,” he said with a smile and the people present were all happy, I glanced over to Ivana and she was smiling like a fool with her focus on the Director, he was a charming man and I hope that girl wasn’t daydreaming again this time.
• The smiles on Mr Donald’s face disappeared almost immediately. “But I don’t get too excited since most of you could also drop.” There was a brief murmur until he called them to silence once again. “We would start shortly, any questions?” He glanced at the hands that were lifted.
• A lot of hands were raised, more especially females who had their head on the moon. “Yes, Katherine.” The director pointed at Katherine. I wondered how he knew her name, but she was popular and showed off a lot, so it wasn’t a surprise.
• I leaned back to the chair I sat and crossed my arms, by the smiles on Katherine’s face I could already tell what her question would be.
• Katherine got up from where she sat, tucking her hair behind her ears and a smile spread through her face. “I am the main female lead right?” There was a murmur in the hall and I held the space between my brows, this girl was a real nutcase, after my advice she didn’t take them, well I was ready to chuckle, and so were the rest of the crowd.
• Director Donald exhaled softly. “Katherine, the main lead isn’t something that is appointed to just anyone, this is a role for the best and professional person fit for the show.”
• “I am that person Director, as you can see, there is no one here as good as me, apart from him…” Katherine pointed at me and all eyes turned to me again, as embarrassing as it should be, I felt a sense of pride since Ivana was also staring at me now, but she sneered and looked away.
• That crazy girl!
• “So I should be the female lead and no one else should.” Katherine finished her amazing but foolish speech.
• “This is quite interesting.” Director Donald said sarcastically. “Katherine, first of all, the main lead doesn’t suit you.” It came as a shock to Katherine and the others sniggered.
• “Why is that?” Katherine’s brows snapped and her eyes darkened. I warned her but she wouldn’t listen, and she had just made me look like I was part of her mess. Some eyes were staring at me as if I had imputed that idea into Katherine’s brain. I thought she had a high IQ but I was mistaken, it was a silly brain.
• “The main lead should be a leader, and a leader would never say what you just said about others, a leader should carry everyone along and try to make them professional as you once said.”
• “But…”
• “The main leads haven’t been decided yet, so please take your seat, Katherine.” The director cut her off and she fumed in anger but settled in her chair. “Who else has a question?” The director looked around the room and I raised my hands. “I wasn’t expecting you to have one Robin.”
• I wasn’t surprised he knew my name, Hinn had told me beforehand, I didn’t get up to ask my question, I just went ahead to ask. “in today’s practice, would you be needing the guitarist?”
• “Umm… about that, I don’t think…”
• “There is no need for me to be here.” I cut him off and picked my bag to leave. I could see the smile on the director’s face, I wondered what he was thinking.
• I walked past Ivana, she looked away immediately our eyes met. As much as I wanted to monitor her and Hinn Carlos, I know they won’t do anything forbidden since they were in the presence of a lot of people.
• I smirked and walked out of the hall, not after hearing the Director address them to begin. I still had something to take care of, otherwise, I would have stayed for the practice. I had to go see the studio manager.
