Celebrity School: Path to Fame
Chapter 10: The First Struggle

Finally, the race day arrived. Gray and I have arrived in front of the SURE Entertainment building. "Wahh, the building is so big!!!"Gray's eyes twinkled at the building. Yes, the building is big. I wish I could be his artist in the future. We were then directed by the guards to the contestant's room. Once there we see a lot of people with different singing talents. Can my voice keep up with them? Gray then said to me, "What if we practice like them? Think of it as a clean gladi." I nodded in agreement. "Oh yeah, by the way have you prepared the right outfit?" I smiled at Gray's question. "Already dong!! I'm lucky to have Crush as my friend!" Gray smiled at me and said, "Thank God then." We both started practicing. While training, I saw apparently contestants of this race quite a lot. And all have their own uniqueness.

Soon, I felt like I was peeing. So, I went to the toilet for a while. I'm done with my business in the toilet. I ran back to the race contestant's waiting room. I accidentally hit someone. I apologized even though I didn't know who it was. I raised my head and how shocked I was to see the face of that person. That person is Cluck!! My idol!! My heart's poem!! Is he going to scold me for daring to hit him? Cluck smiled and said, "It's okay girl. Next time don't run and be more careful." OHMYGOD OHMYGOD OHMYGOD!! Cluck just talked to me. He then asked, "Are you the new staff here? I've never seen you?" AAAAA, Cluck your voice is so beautiful. I answered Cluck's question nervously and somewhat stammeredly, "Umm a-anu, a-a-I follow the lo-race held by SU-SURE Entertainment!" Seeing my nervous self made her laugh. AAAAA, I made her laugh. I made her laugh!!! "The judging here is very strict, but if you've trained properly and confidently, I'm sure you can win." Is this reality? Cluck just cheered me on, albeit a little. "L-yes." When I answered it, I almost fell. I will never forget this experience. "By the way, I have a bit of information about the race. Do you want to hear it? However, I heard this from the rumors of my staff." Hearing his offer, how could I refuse. Ooh, Cluck. I will never reject you. "Sure!! I want to hear it!!" Cluck smiled in satisfaction and whispered, "So, I heard the judges would prefer it if you danced a little while singing. That's to show that your voice can be stable even if there's a little movement." Cluck whispered to me!! Sound OHMYGOD!!! Okay Amethyst, you need to calm down. Don't let yourself act so shamefully in front of your idol. I lowered my head and thanked him. Cluck laughed and left me. Aah, if only I could talk to her longer. However, I knew Cluck was an artist who was at his peak. He must have a lot of work to do.

I went back to the waiting room and Gray pouted at me, "Where are you?" I scratched my head and replied, "You won't believe it but I met up with Cluck and we talked for a while." Gray widened his eyes. "Are you serious?!!" I'm nodding. Gray immediately told me how lucky I was and I could only smile. Gray and I continue our training. I started moving a little bit at the tempo of the song and dancing a little. "A good move. Could improve our performance in this race." Said Gray. I smiled hearing it. I don't know what the jury will think of my performance in this race, but in this way I can at least melt the hearts of the judges and cheer them on. The race time begins. I've changed my clothes and made my makeup.

Gray and I got number 15. While waiting, suddenly Gray held my hand trembling and his hand was very cold. "A-amethyst. I'm nervous." He's downstairs. I pacified. Tell him everything will be fine. To be honest, I was nervous too. But I also can't wait to sing on stage for the first time. This is my first time singing on stage. I never had before. I'm not the kid who was too active in my school just yet. So that I was never selected to attend the school talent show. I took a breath and calmed myself too. This is a very important moment. I have to put everything into this race. Not long after, "No 14 please head for the stage." Gray instantly trembled violently amazingly. I calmed him down again. "Calm down!! The jury didn't bite!!" "O-okay." I saw a worried look on his face. "Hey, we've been practicing, haven't we?" I tried to comfort him. "D-yes." "Therefore, believe that the results of practice will not be in vain." Gray was silent and then smiled a little. "Really! I can't be nervous. If I get nervous then the training results will be in vain." I smiled that Gray had already begun to calm himself down.

We were finally called to go on stage. Arriving on the stage, I saw a sea of people. Everyone was watching, hoping to get a good show from all of us. I have to put everything into this race. I'll cheer you all up. Gray and I then started to set up positions. Gray sat in the back seat. While I pose while holding my diamond Cartier necklace. Actually it's just a replica made by Crush. And he used a cheap diamond. However, due to his skill, he could make it look luxurious and exactly like the one made by Cartier. Gray started playing his guitar. I immediately moved my body a little according to the music. Then I started singing.

A kiss on a hand maybe grand

But won't pay the rental on your little flat

Or help you out to get on life

Man grow old and girls grow old

And we all lose our chance in the end

But laze back at Tiffany's

Diamonds are a girl best friend

I feel like I'm a superstar. I heard the audience cheering me on. Some enjoy the song. There was also a clap of his hands according to the tempo of my song. I don't feel nervous anymore. Now I feel like I want to stay on this stage. Keep singing with all your heart. The judges also seemed to be amused by my performance. Gray also plays his guitar well, I'm so proud of him. And it seems like he also really enjoyed playing his guitar and forgot his nervousness. I finally closed the song,

Diamonds

Diamonds

I don't mean just stones

Diamonds

Are girl best

(guitar sounds)

Best friend!!!

Applause and cheers struck. I'm so glad to hear that. Gray and I lowered our heads and we said, "Thank you very much." This is the moment I always look forward to. AAAA, I wish I could stay longer on this stage. Gray and I returned to the waiting room where we were told to wait for the exam announcement. Gray praised my performance and I praised the way he played guitar. We were both satisfied and we decided to go to the SURE Entertainment cafeteria. Whatever happens, I have great confidence in my performance today.
