The 6 of us were taking our seats, the lights went dimmed.
A few groups went up before them, most had debuted a few years back. Most were from small companies, the agency was smart for debuting them today. They are the main focus for today, the agency is well-known so of course they going to know the boy group.
Before we even knew it, our reason of being here was completed. A pair of 9 shoes walked on stage, the lights were dimmed. They were getting in their positions.
Finally the lights went to a members and he started singing.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Alright, GIVE IT UP FOR 9TH ELEMENT"
"OH, that's their group name!"
Rosy was squealing in her chair, she was all excited especially after 9th element just finished performing.
I turn my head to look at Naya, I don't know what she was thinking but her mouth was opened slightly. Her light hazel eyes was looking at the stage, not even blinking. Her right hand trying to cover her open mouth while the left hand was on her lap.
The was for Celena. Alexa and Isabel were holding each other hands squalling at what they just witnessed.
"Um so do we go backstage or???"
I have no idea if they would let us backstage or not, I just came to congratulate them.
"No worries Flow, They'll let us in but in secret. We might get in a tiny bit of trouble but no worries."
"Isabel, how you know they going to let us backstage?"
"1, I've been under the agency for years so I'm great friends with many of the staff. 2, we just missing school not practice. 3. Even if were in school its late right now, so we can just say that we left an hour early and came here directly."
wow, seemed like Isabel already had everything planned since this morning. She has common sense, could never be me. I would've said something so stupid that would just be cringe as well.
Naya then spoke up about the situation.
"So when can we go meet them?"
Alexa laughed and then reposed with her hands together clapping.
"Right now, Duh"
She then got up from her seat, so we all did the same. Isabel took the lead of going backstage but before we actually went, she handed us some ID cards to put it around our neck. Dang, Isabel really planned this whole stuff out, if we didn't tell her I bet we wouldn't be going backstage like we are doing right now.
Some security guys were at the door and we just showed them the ID thing, and they just let us in. After we were let in, I took a closer look to our card that Isabel handed out. In big letters it read "STAFF". I didn't even have a job yet, maybe the security people have met many people that look younger than they really were.
Whatever, at least we already in. Now we have to head to the room the boys were staying at.
"So Isabel, since you already planned this far. You already talked to one of their managers and you know which room they at?"
"CORRECTO, Flow!, how you think I got each one of y'all a STAFF ID card, that had y'all name on"
Oh shoot, she's right.
The building was smaller than what I thought it was. We got to the door really quickly, now we were just trying to figure out who was going to knock.
"Nah, I knock to softly so they won't hear me"-Rosy
"They don't even know who I am"-Naya
"Yea, just no"-me
"I did all the planning up to now, now y'all do the rest"- Isabel
Alexa and Celena were the two that was left, they ended up playing 'Rock, paper, scissors, shoot'.
Alexa won, so she knocked
"Open up, stop feeling all special for now and open up"
This girl did not just....
At least we cool with the guys, if not we would've received a heck of hate.
One of the managers opened the door, it seemed like they were expecting us already. Everyone but them. They were in the back talking about something, their backs were facing the door. All 6 of us were already standing in the room and they still didn't notice.
In the count of 3, we all yelled out
"SURPRISE, 9th Element"
Finally they all turned around to look.
"Y'all here?"
Eric was shocked because not even himself knew that we were coming to see them, and since he is usually included in most plans that Isabel or the other girls come up with.
"We came to congratulate all of y'all for finally working hard to be able to debut today"
"Oh thank you, Lex"
"Tae-il you be annoying at times but I have to congratulate you for your hard work that you put in to be able to come this far, you deserve it, each on of y'all deserve it"
"Damn, Celena what's with all the emotion words today, you usually quiet"
"Well U-kwon, I can't be quiet today, I have to say how we all truly feel about your accomplishment"
They were all in their conversations, when Jake spoke about Naya.
"Oh wait, I think I seen her before"
Isabel noticed at who he was looking at, also because she was the only one that he hasn't officially met. But where has Jake seen Naya at.
Naya was being quiet again, she was looking down at her feet, play with with her thumbs. I wonder why she was all mean when she was with her friends but now she did a whole 180 degree.
Jake snapped his fingers when he said where he had seen Naya before.
"Ah, that right."
He then pointed at her.
"It was the day when many new people were transferring to the Idol academy, I was looking for someone so I asked you. I think it was in front of the school."
She then looked up and agreed. They started to talk and for some reason; I felt a strong feeling of warmth in me. I don't know why I am feeling like this, my head stated to pound even though I didn't have a fever nor a headache. My eyes started to water even though I wasn't sad nor anything got in it. I'm confused. My heart started to pound fast and hard against my chest. Then I got a long cold shiver behind my spine.
I sat down with Rosy, I was helping her carrying the bag of gifts that we got them. I hope they like it, we were in the store for what seemed like long hours, but it was just 2 hours of us running around with what would be something good. If I was a stranger and saw a group of girls running around, I would've thought they were crazy or weird, or both. Whatever though, at least we got the gifts and the flowers. For some reason, we still didn't hand over the flowers. I think the others girls are planning to hand over the flowers with the gifts each one of them would get.
U-kwon came over asking why we were all alone, like in my case I feel like I would've just disturbed everyone else. I didn't want to get in anyones way or get in their nerves. I have no idea why I am feeling this way today, this isn't like me. I should be talking with everyone not feeling left out. Same with Rosy, she was our little sunshine. Our sunshine wasn't being bright today, like she usually was.
Maybe she feeling the same way like I am feeling right not or she just tired from all the walking we did earlier today. Maybe we should get some drinks after. I should get her a strawberry, lemonade drink, something that matches her personality. Sweet yet sour. I don't know wha I would do without her, I'm glad we became close and are assigned in the same group.
I wonder how Naya holding up being all alone. I turned my head over to see what she was doing and in no surprise I saw her still talking to Jake. I guess U-kwon notched because he then said if Rosy and I wanted to join them in their conversation.
I wasn't looking at Rosy but I felt her looking at me, she probably was waiting for me to answer. I didn't know I let out a sigh until I heard it coming out of me.
"They seem busy maybe we should wait for a bit"
U-kwon then got up from his chair and walked over to Jake. I don't what he said but it made Jake and Naya come over where Rosy and I were sitting at. I felt my cheeks burn, like I was close to an open-fire. I hope it didn't show, I whispered to Rosy if it did.
"Nah, Flow you look good. It just seems like you got some peach blush on so no need to worry. Also I'm so exhausted are you exhausted too?"
"Yea Rosy, I'm exhausted"
I then mentioned all of us getting some drinks after but by that time. Jake, Naya and U-kwon completely made their way to us.
"What about drinks?"
"Rosy and I, was just talking about us getting some drinks after"
"Can we come too?"
I looked at the person from where the words came from. Just looking at him right now made me mad and I had no idea why I was mad. It's not like he did anything wrong, I just did not want to face him at the moment. Ugh, why am I feeling this way, I don't want to feel like way. I have to snap out of it, come on Flow you have too, before you do anything embarrassing and might regret later.
When I finally stop zoning out, it seemed like Rosy said yes to them coming. I checked the time and I called over the girls. The boys went back to where they were sitting, when we first walked in and they had their backs facing the doors. Each one of us took out a box from the bag.
Rosy, Naya, and I, got one box. While the other girls grab two because there were 9 members. They were all the same gifts so it didn't matter which member need up with with box. I handed mine to Jake for some reason, I was furious to face him but I still wanted to see him. I didn't see who the other girls gave the boxes to.
After everyone got their gifts, we counted from three for them to open them.
"3!,2!,1!"
Their gifts consisted of bracelets, they were silver that shine brightly when any form of light shined on it. Plus, they could add any type of design on it, that was kinda unique for them.
"Oh sh*t, these are unique. Thanks girl. Now we have to get some so y'all can match with us too. Plus, we come from the same agency so it would be like a form of us being connected. "
"Thats true Kai, but once y'all gain more fans there would be a lot of hate if even end up matching a pair of shirts."
"True Celena"
Isabel then spoke up
"No worries Kai, we wanted y'all to have a gifts for y'all big day, y'all deserve it."
I think of them debuting contributed of our chance if debuting because Eric then mentioned it.
"Do y'all know when the selected girl group would debut?"
SHii, like I knew that but most likely Isabel or Alexa knew the answer.
And I was right.
"The date is not set for us but they think at most in 2 years. So in 2 years you're gonna see us up on stage like we just saw y'all. Theres no way I would let this opportunity slip from us. I'll make sure we will debut"
DAng, look at Lexa being so motivational, about to make me cry.
I looked around the room and the staff seemed like they were packing, they look like they were about to leave.
"Well I guess we have to say by now because eit looks like y'all have to be somewhere now"
"Ah that's true Flow, well how about those drinks next time"
For some reason I was sad of Jake not being able to join us for drinks but I guess they were now officially working. We said bye to them and left the room.
"So drinks?"
Celena laughed and said yea.
With the few time we had left we headed to get our drinks. And of course I bought Rosy her strawberry-lemonade drink.
