Chapter 20 - Chapter 21, Trip To S.A

I don't know why but l'm so nervous to go back to Africa .

Before living we had to first , fill a form , a participation form or something like that so now we are officially participants.

After some hours , we finally arrive in Jorhannesburg and we found cars waiting for participants for the auditions and so we went on one and we were taken to a hotel like place and Soo many people were there .(participants).

Ocean :

Okay ,there are Soo many participants and they have to choose only three girls to become Idols . And how do you know that they have to choose only three girls to become Idols . Army asked. To be honest , l don't know , l just guessed.

May l please have your attention beautiful ladies . My name is Thebazile and I'm going to brief you a little bit about what we will be doing this week.

So first of all, l welcome all of you .

Thank you , Thebazile . Everyone replied.

So we are going to start with the auditions tomorrow . If l'm not mistaken , you are all thirty in total but tomorrow three people will be eliminated and only twenty seven people will remain tomorrow .

And at the end of this competition , Only three people will be selected and they will sign a contract with B.H.E and then win a cash price of $300,000 .

So I wish you good luck for tomorrow. There are people who will be showing you to your rooms . You can even sleep in groups or...

pairs . Goodnight to all of you . Goodnight . All of us said together.

Gem's POV

l'm Soo nervous for tomorrow.

Ok goodnight Army and Ocean . Goodnight Gem.

The Next Day (The Auctions)

We all took breakfast and then headed to the waiting room . There was a very big TV , where we could see the participants performing .

And one by one the participants performing .

Then Army and Ocean's names were called .

They sang all of me by John Legend and Gosh !, they were amazing.

Everyone got nervous because of their performance , and by everyone l mean me .

Great job guys , you were amazing back there . I wish I had the confidence that you guys have. Thanks but quit being silly Gem, we both know that your gonna impress the judges and viewers as well . Yeah ! Army is right . Now go out there and show them how it's done. Ocean stated.

And even before l could think of a song , my number was called out . My heart was pounding really fast .

My number was called out for the second time . But this time l was literally frozen , l was lost in my own own thoughts and then l felt someone pinching me on my arm and to look , l saw that it was Ocean.

Concentrate Gem! , their calling you . Come on , go now . Good luck, both Army and Ocean stated.

As l was walking up to the stage , l saw only three judges and then many people with cameras . l was literally shaking.

Hello there sweetie , what's your name? M- My

name is Gem

Wow what a beautiful name . Ok you can start singing whenever you're ready.

I started to sing with my eyes closed.

Every single little bit of pain,

Every single little bit of happiness,

It is just perfect, so very perfect,

Every single little drop of tear ,

Every single little smile,

Just turns my world around ,

Cause it is perfect, so very perfect,

And all those memories,

That we choose to love or hate ,

They are just perfect , so very perfect,

To me-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e

When l finally finished singing, all the judges clapped and they even gave me a standing innovation. They all complimented me and they were shocked when they had that l composed the song .

Everyone in the waiting room congratulated me.

After all the participants performed , five people were eliminated and thankfully me and my cousins were safe .
