Meeting Candace Noah
.
.Candace Noah
The bell rang signifying the end of the class, Yippee!!! I exclaimed loudly as I packed my books into my backpack and sling it across my shoulders, I stood up from my seat and walked up to Zara. Zara has been my bestie from elementary grade and I canât trade her for anything.
Zara! Zara! I called while studying her, she looked tensed. What is wrong?
She looked at me and sighed…
âI really need help candyâ
âWhat’ wrong bestie?
âI am trying to solve this equation but I am finding it difficultâ. She sighed…
I tilted my head a little to get a clearer view of what she was working on
I observed…
âBut this equation is way ahead of usâ
âI knowâ. She retorted
Canât give yourself a little break?â I asked with an arched eyebrow
You know I canât! She replied with her eyes still fixed on her book, this is the only way I can get into my preferred college.
Oh right! I drawled, I need to get going
Alright candy, see ya tomorrow. She bade…
I plugged in my earphones listening to Nick music as I danced my way out of the class…
Oh! lest I forget, let me introduce myself. I am Candace Noah popularly known as Candy, a nineteen years high school student with the dream of becoming a superstar, I live with my parent and little brother in a quiet neighbourhood. My Father is a driver to a wealthy family while mother is a petty trader, we are not wealthy but at least we are happy.On getting home, I met my kid brother in the sitting room with his eyes glued to the television.
He glanced at me and mumbled some words that sounded like greeting before he looked away…
I can see the television has taken over your brain. I teased walking into the next room…
Whatever! he grumbled…I pulled off my uniform and folded it neatly placing it in the wardrobe before changing into my house outfit…
I grabbed my old looking guitar from the chair beside the bed and scurried out of the room…
Where are you going with the guitar? my brother Max asked staring at me, I thought mother warned you never to sing again at the train station.
I walked out of the house ignoring him and ran heading to the train station…I got to the train station and went to my usual spot. I tuned my guitar and closed my eyes as I began singing, it was one of Nick song and it was my favourite, I tapped my feet to the rhythm of the song as I sang

There is a song that is inside of my soul
It is the one that I will write over and over again
I am awake in this infinite cold but you sing to me over and over again
So I lay my heads back down and I lift my head and pray to be only yours , I pray to be only yours
I know now you are my only hope…I heard cheering and clapping when I was done and opened my eyes, i was not surprised to see a small crowd gathered around me…
You have an angelic voice! A fat woman praised…
She sings like an angel! I heard another voice praised…
All she needs is little training…I stared at them as they kept on praising and smiled, I was already used to it. I bowed in appreciation and turned to go when a woman stopped me…
âhi young lady. she greeted, you sing beautifully!
âThanks ma. I appreciated her…
âWhy donât you enrol at the Delgado Music school? I heard they mould beautiful singers like you into celebrities.
âDelgado? Isnât that the school owned by Nickâs father?â. I asked
She nodded. smiling…
âI really wish to but I canâtâ. I sighed
âWhy?â. she asked
âThe fees must be expensiveâ. I explained and she nodded
âIt will be alrightâ. She assured before taking her leave…
I watched her leave and sighed
How I wish I can get into Delgado music school .
I plugged in my earphones listening to Nick song as I scurried back home.

I soon got home and was surprised to see mother seated in the sitting room
âGood mor… I mean eveningâ. I stuttered, I never expected to meet her home
Where are you coming from with that guitar? She asked frowning…
Why are you home so early? I asked trying to change the topic…
Is that the answer to my question ? She yelled…
I gave you a clear warning never to go sing at the train station again but you chose to disobey me!
âBut mother I just… Give me the guitar. She commanded!
Please mother I promise not to…
hand it over now!!! She barked and I kissed the guitar before placing it gently on her outstretched hand
You will never see it again! She threatened,
âPlease motherâ. I pleaded
âGo and do the dishesâ. She instructed before walking out of the house
I glared at Max who was grinning like a fool
âHow did mom find out about it? I asked
âHow will I know? he retorted! Do I look like a magician???
âDonât dare lie to me Max! I warned…
âYou should know me better by now. he drawled facing the television, I will never do that!
I looked at him and sighed. he is right, the Max I know will never tell on me but who did? It might be one of those bigmouthed neighbours.
I walked into the kitchen with tears streaking down my face
âWhat will happen to my life now? I wondered. I am not good at studying , not good at sport and the only thing I am good at seems to be hopeless.
I turned on the tap and started washing the dishes but soon stopped when I heard Nick music blasting out from the speaker in the sitting room, I ran out of the kitchen to the sitting room still holding the dish sponge. I smiled when I saw Max watching a video of Nick singing one of his songs.
âhe is so cuteâ. I remarked and Max turned to look at me…
âAre you crazy?â he asked staring at the dish sponge I was holding, donât tell me you left the dishes because of this ugly guy
âhe is not ugly?â I retorted and he smirked
âI can see you are really crazyâ. he cursed and changed the channel..
âWhy did you do that?â. I frowned…
âSo you can go back to the kitchen!” he replied without looking at me
I shook my head and headed back to the kitchen
He wouldnât understand, no one will. I just want to sing on a big stage, I just want to be a celebrity like Nic

I sat on the sofa working on my assignment when I heard a car drove in
âDaddy is homeâ. Max announced running out to greet him
I sighed staring at the equations
âHow will I solve this?â. I wondered, maths really sucks
I looked up when my dad walked in with Max following behind him
âhi Dadâ. I greeted flashing him a smile
âhow are You candy? he asked collapsing on the sofa opposite mine,He was obviously tired.
I stood up from the sofa and walked into the kitchen to get him something to eat, I dished some rice flakes into a plate placing it gently on a tray along with a glass filled with water.
I returned to the sitting room and placed the tray gently on a stool in front of my father
âThanksâ. My dad appreciated
I watched him rushed the food and smiled, he must be really hungry
*
He belched in satisfaction when he was done eating. He instructed Max who was watching cartoons to take the empty plates to the kitchen.
âbut Dad let Candy do thatâ. he whined
âDo as I sayâ. My dad grunted
âFineâ. Max glared at me before standing up lazily, I smirked watching him pick the empty plates from the stool before heading out to the kitchen.
I turned to look and my dad and met his gaze
âWhat is it dad?â I asked looking away
âYou went to the train station again right? he asked
âI can see mom already called youâ, I drawled.
âShe just want the best for you candy so try to understand herâ
âcanât she just let me be? she already seized my guitar so what else does she want?
âShe wants you to improve on your studies and that is allâ. he replied
âBut I am not cut out for studies, I just want to singâ.
He stared at me for a while and smiled . I understand you candy, I really do
âReally?â. I asked in excitement and he nodded
âThen please donât stop me from doing what I like bestâ. I pleaded and he just stared on at me
âWhat do you think about Delgado music school?â. he suddenly asked
âDelgado! that is my dream school. I exclaimed in excitement but I heard the fees is really expensive or is there another way I can get in?
âI donât really know. he shrug but I heard my boss talking about a scholarship or something like that, I will just ask him about it
âReally?â I asked in excitement, how did he get to know about it?
âThat is because he holds a high position in the school and also because he is a close friend of Mr Delgadoâ. he explained
âWhy didnât you tell me about him?â I asked frowning, who is he? What is his name?
âMr Montez. he is the father to Kiraâ
âKira? do you mean Kira Montez my favourite female singer?
he nodded smiling , I never knew you admire her
âI do but not as much as my Nickâ
âYour Nickâ
âErm.. I…I… meeen Nickâ. I stuttered and he gave me a small smile
You really need to help me get into Delgadoâ. I pleaded
âI will see what I can doâ. he promised me* * * * * * *
Chase Delgado
I sat on the bed in my room trying to compose a song when the door opened and my elder brother Nick walked in
I tried to hide the book but it was too late
âWhat is that?â he asked sitting on the bed
âNothingâ. I lied
âAre you trying to lie to your big brother?â he scoffed
I shook my head negatively
âThen hand it overâ. he yelled and I immediately did
He opened the book and glanced through the pages
âYou are really doing a good jobâ. he remarked, I want to sing this song in my next album
âBut I canât Nick that is a special song I composed for my momâ. I explained
âWhat did you just say?â. he asked with a scoff?
âNothingâ. I bit my lips
âGood boyâ. he muttered patting me, get dressed we are going to a concert.
âWe?â I repeated and he nodded
âI am feeling sickâ. I complained and he scoffed
âDonât dare me little brotherâ He warned standing up and flashed me a smile before walking out of the room.
I picked the book from the drawer where Nick kept it and shred it to pieces
âWhen will all this stop?â. I wondered
I dragged myself up from the bed and went over to the wardrobe to change my clothes before heading down the stairs
*
*
I met Nick and his manager seated on the sofa obviously waiting for me
âI am readyâ. I announced and they both stood
âIt is going to be a big concert and we need you to give your best shotâ. His manager informed and I smirked
*
*
The drive to the concert was a quiet one as Nick behaved like I never existed, he kept on looking into his phone.
âWhat a snub!â
*
The concert hall became noisy immediately we walked in, or should I say immediately Nick walked in.
The shout of Nick name filled the air and I scoffed when I saw a lady faint at the sight of Nick
âIs this for real?
Nick instructed me to maintain the same pace with him as we walked towards the stage . I guess he was worried about loosing his voice , yes his voice.
âWho is the guy beside Nick?â. I heard a female voice asked , he is way cuter than Nick
I turned to look at Nick and met his gaze, it was obvious he heard it
.
.
We climbed up the stage and the manager accompanied me to the back stage
âJust concentrateâ. he instructed, no one must know Nick is lip syncing
âWhat song am I to sing?â. I drawled
âThe last song you recorded at the studioâ. he replied
I looked at him and scoffed
âYou mean you donât know the title of the songâ. I teased
âQuit teasing Chaseâ he said. It is your song so you should know better
âSo you finally admit I am Nick voice and Musicâ. I drawled
âJust sing Chaseâ. he instructed . I hummed the lyrics of the song before I started singing
I heard the crowd go wild as they sang along with me or rather should I say Nick since they all believed he was the one singing
The rhythm soon changed to a rock and roll and I immediately started another song . It was the first song I composed and also one of my best
I felt tears streak down my face as I sang
*??????????
*
There is a song inside of my soul
*
It is the one that I have tried to write over and over again
*
I am awake in the infinite cold
*
But you song to me over and over again
*
So I lie my head back down and I Lift my head and pray to be only yours
*
I know now you are my only hope………
*
*
I was soon done singing and i heard the Crowd screamed Nick Name in excitement
I peeped through a little opening and saw Nick waving at his fans
âWhen will all this end?â. I wondered , I really loved singing but my own elder brother stole my dreams.
Do I really have a choice?

This is serious
