Chapeter 2 - Taking the Stage
The plan is loud, crowded, and uncomfortable. It's a 13 hour flight to the destination. I try not to think about what will happen next, but it keeps coming to mind. “Everything will be fine.” my brother says seeing that I can't stop thinking. “You're right.” I say. I decide I need some rest so I take a nap. “Miss... Miss...” I hear a lady say. I wake up and see that we are landed. I stand up and grab my carry on and follow my family off the plane. We walk to the bag return and get all of our bags. My dad leads us to the car rental where we get a car to drive for the week. This trip isn't just for me, my parents decided it was time for a vacation. We walk around trying to pick a car for all of our needs. We finally come across a Mazda and get it. We put our bags in the back of the car a drive to the hotel. My dad takes us to our hotel to rest up and drop off our bags. The only room that was able to fit our whole family was the penthouse sweet. My siblings and I each get our own room and my parents get their own too. I go back flop on the bed and turn on the t.v. I turn the channel to spongebob and watch a few episodes of that. To think that just last year I was a 13 year old with a dream, and today I am a 14 year old trying to get that dream. “Renee!” My dad yells. I am startled my his voice and fall right out of bed. The t.v. Is still on so I must have fallen asleep. I look at the time and see that it's time to go. Everything that I've been working towards for a year is finally going to pay off. I get my backpack that contains of a bathrobe, my makeup, ipod, and my wallet. My family and I quickly run to the car and drive off. We are running 10 minutes late so we are in a big hurry. We thought the traffic would be worse than it was, but it wasn't. I got there on time and was rushed into the building. My family went to take their seats in the 2nd row, while my stylist got me ready. She had me change into my robe and take my clothes off so they wouldn't get makeup on them. She saw my outfit and did my makeup according to the color. She touched up my hair because I've been sleeping a lot today and it got messed up. I get my outfit back on and my stylist leads me towards a wall mirror. I look at myself and am amazed on how well my stylist did. I had her a $20 tip and she leads me to the waiting room where a few others are. On a 80 inch flat screen t.v, they show Simon and the judges appear at the stadium. Many people have already taken their seats, including the judges. One by one people are called out of the room. I am the last person in the waiting room. After the act before me, there is a few minutes before they say anything. “Did they forget about me?” I ask myself. “Contestant 104.” The intercom says. I get up and walk behind the curtain of the stage. My name is Mckenna Porter, and I am the youngest person ever to audition for the UK X-Factor.
