Chapter 37 - Chapter 37

"Can somebody find me somebody to love?

Ooh, each morning I get up I die a little,

Can barely stand on my feet,"

Angel looked at herself and continued, "Take a look in the mirror and cry," she let a drop of tear fall as the song started to make her emotional. Then continued:

"Lord, what you're doing to me,

I have spent all my years in believing you,

But I just can't get no relief, Lord!

Somebody, ooh somebody,

Can anybody find me somebody to love?

I work hard every day of my life

I work 'til I ache in my bones

At the end,

I take home my hard earned pay all on my own

I get down," this is where Angel got down on her knees, "On my knees," then put her hands together as though she was praying, "And I start to pray," and let the tears run down her cheeks, "'til the tears run down from my eyes,

Lord, somebody, ooh somebody

Can anybody find me somebody to love?"

Angel paused a bit and got off the ground as she tried to catch her breath then continued, "Every day, I try and I try and I try,

But everybody wants to put me down,

They say I'm going crazy,

They say I got a lot of water in my brain,

Ah, got no common sense,

I got nobody left to believe in,

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

Oh, Lord

Ooh somebody, ooh somebody

Can anybody find me somebody to love?

Got no feel, I got no rhythm,

I just keep losing my beat,

I'm OK, I'm alright,

I ain't gonna face no defeat,

I just gotta get out of this prison cell,

One day, I'm gonna be free, Lord!

Find me somebody to love

Find me somebody to love

Find me somebody to love

Find me somebody to love

Find me somebody to love

Find me somebody to love

Find me somebody to love

Find me somebody to love, love, love

Find me somebody to love

Find me somebody to love

Somebody, somebody, somebody, somebody,

Somebody find me

Somebody find me somebody to love

Can anybody find me somebody to love?

Ooh,

Find me somebody, somebody, somebody, somebody to love

Find me, find me, find me, find me, find me,

Ooh, somebody to love,

Ooh,

Find me, find me, find me somebody to love,

Anybody, anywhere, anybody find me somebody to love, love, love!

Somebody find me, find me love."

When Angel stopped singing she heard a round of applause, she also felt a tear drop from her eyes and when she wiped her face she saw it was tears. "Wow, I thought you was just going to sing the song, we didn't expect you to also dance to the song," the man said which caused Angel to blush. "You can return to your seat for now."

Angel returned to her seat, "Dinner will be served now and only after dinner ends would be disclose the results for this round. Bon apatite," the woman on the extreme right of the judges table said.

The five judges got up and left the hall and then waiters entered and started to serve the drinks as well as a soup. After the soup came a salad then the main course and ended with a dessert which was a slice of ice cream cake. It was only after everything was cleared from the table and there was a glass of water placed in front of each of the girls did the judges returned.

Angel was very nervous because she was sure she didn't pass the seventh round so she kept sipping the water for each name that was called. When the fifteenth name was called her glass of water was empty and she felt disappointed. But then the next set of words from the judges cheered her up, "The fifteen names we have just called would be eliminated in this round, I hope you ladies have a safe trip home. You all may now leave."

Four of the judges left and there was only the man that had questioned Angel remained in the hall as the fifteen girls that were eliminated also left with tears in their eyes. The man then said, "Tomorrow will be the final round. The next round does not require any of you to come to the hall and those who would be eliminated or win would be informed. Good night," he said and dismissed the remaining ten candidates.

Both Angel and Jezell passed the seventh round which was a relief for the both of them as well as Mr. Fortune. He just hopped that the winners of the werewolves were the both of them which would help them to relax more since they would have a companion of the same pack with them.

That night after Angel returned to her room she freshened up and started studying again. She went to sleep again around six in the morning out of exhaustion. There were many times in the night she looked at the door to see if Leo was coming but she didn't see him and she felt disappointed but didn't understand why.

The next day Miss Carter, Mr. Bernard, Mr. Fortune, Mrs. Webster and Jezell sat in the living room awaiting the results for the final round. Jezell started to paste around the apartment throughout the day and even nibbled on a few snacks. She even checked on Angel a few times as she wanted to make sure Angel was okay.

Jezell had always looked up to Angel as a big sister and wanted to go to college just like her but her parents didn't approve of it. They believed that she was better of finding a mate and don't think like Angel but she couldn't help thinking that Angel got more freedom than her but then she only realized all the sacrifice that Angel had to make just to get that education.

She was one of them that used Angel books in high school and she had just finished her final examinations. She was planning to run away after her graduation which would have been after the preliminaries ended, she hoped that she would pass this rounds so she could also get to Country A and maybe stay with Angel.
