Being the Best

A huge explosion happened...

It was so powerful that by my body flew away and seconds after my vision faded

Did the two invistagators win?, did they captured the masked man?,

Or did they perhaps failed and I died once again...again

I didn't even become the 'Best' yet....

It was always a gloomy and normal day...

Going to school, heading home to relax..I repeated that for many times, I couldn't even remember a time where I did anything else beside studying...

But it all changed when I watched a tv show about 'idol's'

Its dazzling

I pondered, they danced in the middle of the stage while singing with their angelic voice...its entertaining to watch...

Then I get attracted on watching more...

I don't have a plan on being a idol or do I think of being one...I don't even care about idols...what I get hooked at is the part where they sing...

After watching the TV...I watched at another platform...I repeat it for so many days to come until one day I just kind of decided to practice singing

It was just like joke to me, that if I'm not good at it, I would just quit no harm done...

No harm done, I thought

I couldn't practice by myself anymore...so I joined a club at my school that specialize in singing

At first I just thought of it as a hobby nothing else...

I practice singing when I'm studying at home...when I'm in the shower...when its nighttime, when I have a free time

I practice almost everyday, I didn't do it cause I needed to practice, it's because I enjoyed it,

I just enjoy singing

A simple hobby evolve to a desire a desire to improve...

I practiced everyday but I didn't neglect my study...

I made friends on my club they also have the same hobby as mine we always talked about our favorite singer and technique on how to improve

It was fun, I enjoyed singing and I have so many people to share it...this is what I'm looking for isn't it

Month past...and a talent contest was happening near our school, almost all my friends joined as they wanted to be recognized I also joined hoping the same

When I was back stage waiting for my turn, I felt like vomiting...I could wet myself any moment now

There's a moment where I wanted to run away and just make singing as nothing but a hobby...

But even with that thought, I waited and moments after it was my turn...

I felt like vomiting when I saw the audience looking at me, I didn't know so many people would come...

Just deep breathe...

"Awoo~"

I take a deep breathe and grabbed the cold microphone...

I sang, I made a mistake half way through but I continued and finish it...

It was a total silent that I pondered, did I mess up?

But after thinking that, the crowd clapped and cheered for me...

I couldn't help but smile, I hide my smile by looking down

This is so fun!

I thought, before going off stage...

The competition end and sadly I never got in...

Did I cry?

Yes i did

I cried for two days straight, I did everything i could but it just ended like that...I'll do better next time, I will be the first next time

With that in mind I practiced and joined all the competition I could join

I'm third or second...sometimes,

I failed to get in almost everytime

I cried whether I win or lose...I felt happy when I win, felt sad when I lose

A rollercoaster of emotions and it's all because of singing...

I continued my hobby that evolve into a career

I never got tired of singing and maybe thanks to that I was accepted

It's a singing show that if you're the winner you'll get a large amount of money enough to last you life time,

I'll win that competition get recognized by everyone continue singing win more completions and become the best singer, that my songs would always get top one

It's my dream, and it's not bad to dream..

My singing career is destined to failed...

I pondered as a car being chased by police vehicles hit me

I was just crossing the street...wanting to tell my parent of the good news...I'm already next to success

I just want to continue singing...

I never done anything wrong...

But here I am, flat in the ground

Feeling suffocation as a crowd of people got near me

If your going to have a car chase why do it here?

I pondered

After that I opened my eyes

I felt a tear or two falling...

So it's just a dream...

I looked around and I was in a white painted room it looks like a hospital

The bed i was in is so comfortable I wanted to sleep once again

Which I did...

But before i could a voice prevent me from doing so

"So your awake, miss Maria"

I wiped the tears in my eyes and looked at the person who is talking

"Ninja turtles"

I mumbled, when I saw a turtle grandpa in front of the door

"Ahem, you can call Professor, I'm not a ninja"

"Ah, yes professor turtle"

So he's a professor why am I here though?...

"Turtle?..never mind, can you show me your body?"

"Excuse me?"

"Didn't hear me?, can I please see your body"

I tugged the white blanket I have and shouted at the top of my lungs

"Heeelp!, a turtle pervert is coming for me!"

The hell...show me your body?...I ain't that easy, I would only show it to..no one

"Aha, this room is soundproof, I made this myself so I can assure you screaming won't do anything.."

The grandpa turtle said

"No more game miss Maria, I need to heal you, quickly show me your body"
