"Oh! yeah, that's true, it would have been much better if there's a TV, at least, we could watch a little program before going to sleep. But there is none, and there's nothing that can be done about it. I gotta go take my bath right now". Simon stated before taking off his clothes and dashing into the bathroom.
After he was done with the bathroom, James took off his clothes also and dashed into the bathroom to freshen up and do some other stuff. By the time James came out from the bathroom, Simon had already dressed up in casual outfits. James dressed up in casual clothes also, then the both of them sat down on the bed to talk about the type of job they'll love to do to earn a living.
"I'll love to work in a bar, serving people beers and other stuff like that. A bar whereby the boss wouldn't look down on me 'cause of my age. A bar whereby I'll be paid my full salary every month without any form of cheating. It's not possible to get a white-collar job 'cause we are still too young for it. And we ain't even done with high school not to talk of going to college". James stated.
"Yeah, that's true, we ain't done with high school in our real body, and we didn't bother to complete high school in the person's body we transmigrated into. As for me, I'll love to work in a big food store as a salesperson. And as you said, a food store whereby the owner wouldn't look down on me and pay me my complete salary every month". Simon expressed.
The both of them sat there discussing the job stuff for minutes before Simon decided that it was about time for him to go to sleep. But James wasn't ready to sleep yet, now was the perfect time to do some little practice on his voice...it was about time to improve his vocals. He took two of the bottled water, by now, they had become warm, they weren't as chilly as before. He opened one and gulped down its whole content down his throat.
Then he opened the second one and gulped down half of its content. Now, it was about time for the main voice practice...and that's where there was gonna be a little problem. His voice practice was disturbing Simon's sleep, Simon hadn't slept off yet, and he was trying to, but 'cause of James' vocals training, he was finding it hard to do so. James was trying his very best to do a perfect high pitch, but he couldn't.
He kept on singing some of his favorite artistes songs as he improved his vocals to the best way he could. With the mindset that he had tried his best with just normal singing, he came back to doing high pitches. You know, most female artistes love doing high pitches in their songs, and females were included in James' favorite artistes. He kept trying his best to do a standard high pitch until Simon couldn't take it anymore....he was disturbing his sleep.
"Hey bro, could you keep it low? I understand that you are training your vocals for the audition you plan on participating in tomorrow, and I fully support what you are doing. But I am trying to sleep here, as I told you, I slept on hard ground yesterday night, and here is an opportunity to have a good rest on a comfortable bed. I'm trying my best to doze off even with your vocal practice, but I can't just. Please, once again, can you keep it low?".
James nodded his head and said, "Sure, I'll keep it low, sorry for disturbing your sleep".
"No prob, don't take it like I don't support what you are doing, I support it...but I gotta sleep bro".
"Go back to sleep, I'll keep it low, I promise". James stated, he plan on keeping to his promise.
Simon laid on the bed and waited to see if James would keep to his promise, and James did. He was doing the voice training, but he kept it low, low enough for Simon's sleep not to be disturbed. And after some minutes, Simon had slept off already...straight to wonderland. But James kept on with the voice training, he kept on practicing how to do a standard high pitch.
After practicing for minutes, and he had confidence that at least, he had improved a little, he went straight to sleep. The next day, Simon was the first person to wake up, he got up from the bed and glanced at James where he was sleeping soundly, and said to himself.
"The guy is still fast asleep, he kept to his promise to keep it low, that's why I was able to sleep off the second time without disturbance. I wonder how the voice training went. Oh! the music audition is gonna take place today".
Simon wanted to wake James up, but he decided that he should brush his teeth, take his bath and dress up before waking him...and so he did. He took his toothpaste and toothbrush from his backpack before entering the bathroom. Then he brushed his teeth, freshen up before coming out of the bathroom. And James was still fast asleep...someone that had an audition to attend?
Simon then dressed up in a shirt and black chinos trousers before waking James. James got up from the bed abruptly, then Simon gave him a type of look and uttered,
"You know you have a music audition to attend, and you still sleeping?".
"Holy shit! was it because of the little training I did yesterday that I wasn't able to wake early this morning? Wait, you've taken your bath and dressed up already?". James inquired.
"Yeah, I decided to do that before waking you up".
James didn't waste time as he undressed, took his toothpaste and toothbrush from his backpack before rushing into the bathroom. He brushed his teeth and took his bath before coming out of the bathroom, then he took clothes from his backpack and put them on. Now that he was done dressing, it was about time to plan their movement, it was about time to plan their activities.
"So what next?". Simon asked James after he was done dressing up.
"I gotta head straight to the audition, it's gonna begin by 9 pm. Am not sure if I'll be able to eat anything". James retorted.
"We'll have to check out of this hotel then, I plan on moving about...who knows, I could find something that's connected to football".
"OK then, that's the plan".
James then remembered the remaining one and half bottled water he planned on drinking this morning before heading to the audition. He took them from where he kept them, drank the one with full content, then he gulped down the remaining half. He was nervous as to how the audition would go, he'll have to go there to find out.
He and Simon wore their backpacks before walking out of the hotel room, then they locked the door and began strolling with the receptionist's desk in mind as their destination. Getting to the receptionist's desk, they handed the key over to him and told him that they were checking out. Then Simon said,
"We might come back again to book another room, it's based on a probability, but as for now, we are leaving".
The receptionist nodded his head to what he said before the both of them departed from the main edifice of the hotel. Getting outside of the hotel, James focused his gaze on Simon and inquired,
"So where do we meet after we're done with our activities?".
"Let's meet in front of this hotel, when you come here and you don't see me, wait for me. When I come here, and I don't see you, I'll also wait for you". Simon responded, a great idea.
"OK then".
With that, the both of them parted ways to their different destination. Simon had no destination in mind, he planned to just stroll about, who knows? He could find a nice paying job or he could find football-related stuff. But James had a destination in mind, the 'Shining stars' music audition.
James was confused if he should take a taxi that would drive him straight to the boulevard where the audition was gonna take place or he should trek. But since he trekked it the last time he located the edifice where the audition was gonna take place, he would also trek it now.
He needed to save money on other things and reduce how he board cabs. So he just kept sauntering without stopping a cab.
