Nick gasped in shock immediately he heard my song have been released

I looked at him and scoffed, he was so self-centred

how can you do this? he yelled to no one in particular and stormed out of the room

Is Nick alright? Brenda asked facing me and I nodded

Then why did he act like that? Is he jealous or something?

I don’t know. I shrug

Are you alright dad? I asked my dad while studying him, he was looking kind of tensed

I am alright son,he assured. I ought to be the one asking if you are alright

I am dad, I replied smiling. You really made my day

how? he asked

“For helping me with my dreams and also agreeing to marry mother”

he smiled

I should have done that a long time ago but I was selfishly worried about how Nick would react without even thinking about you. I know I have not been a good father to you and I am so sorry for everything

It is alright. I smiled

Wow! Wow! Wow! one of the men suddenly exclaimed loudly

What is it? my dad asked

Chase’s song got five thousand views in less than 20 minutes. he replied and was immediately surrounded by his workmates

Wow! Brenda exclaimed, this is unbelievable

I stared at them without saying anything

Your Song is gonna be....... he stopped when his phone rang and he immediately received it

I brought out my phone from my pocket and searched for my name , I was surprised to see the number of views

Unbelievable! I muttered, I never expected my fame to be so fast...

Sir chase! Brenda called distracting me from my thoughts

I looked at her and smiled

Can I be your number one fan? she asked smiling

I shook my head negatively

Why?she frowned

because the space is already taken

I thought about the girl and smiled. What is her name ? I tried to remember but could not....

I bowed my head in shame as the principal scolded at me

What exactly is wrong with you? he frowned. This is the second time a teacher has reported you today for being so unserious in class,what is wrong?

Nothing sir, I replied and he sighed

Do you enjoy failing?

I shook my head negatively

Then get serious with your studies, listen attentively in class. he advised

You are in your final year and studying should be your priority

Alright sir. I muttered

Any more complaints about you will attract a detention, he warned . Is that clear?

Yes sir. I replied

You can go to you class. he instructed

I walked out of his office feeling like a complete failure

*

I walked into the class feeling gloomy .

i noticed everyone in class were looking at their phone with their headphones over their ears

Weird! I muttered

I went over to my seat and sat down, I was in no mood to talk the anyone

I placed my head on the table as I thought about the warning the principal gave me

Why are you so dull candy? I asked my self

Candy!I heard Zara called

I wiped the tears from my face before looking up at her

What is wrong?she asked staring at my face, what did the principal say to you? Was he harsh?

I shook my head negatively

Then why are you looking all gloomy? she asked sitting on my table

The principal scolded me for being so unserious in class , I pouted . I really don’t know what I should do

What if I help you study? She suggested

Really? I beamed excitedly

She nodded

Thanks friend , I appreciated and she smiled

Have you listened to the song that Delgado record released today?she suddenly asked

No, I shook my head. What song?

“This. She said increasing the volume of her phone

I listened to music smiling, I really loved it.

Nick is really good! I remarked

Nick? Zara scoffed, the voice might be similar to that of Nick’s but he is not the singer

Are you kidding me now? I frowned

Why would I?

If Nick is not the singer then who sang it?

Nick’s younger brother, she replied wriggling her body to the beat of the song

And doesn’t he have a name?

Chase, his name is Chase Delgado.......

Chase! I exclaimed ,Are you for real?

She nodded. Do you know him?

Yes, I am his number one fan. I replied grinning

*

I listened to the lyrics on the song and kept on playing the song all over and over again

I so much loved it , I never knew he was this good

Aren’t you going home or do you want to sleep in school? Zara asked tapping the table

When did you get here? I asked in surprise

I have been standing here for a while now but you were to engrossed with the song to notice me

I am sorry, I sighed

I sling my back pack over my shoulders and stood up

Can we go now? She asked and I nodded

We walked out of the school holding hands

How did you know Chase? She suddenly asked

I smiled knowing she would ask me about him

“I don’t really know him but I met him once”

Where?

At the orphanage

Really? She asked, how I wish I could see him also

I looked at her in surprise.

I thought you promised to be loyal to Kira alone

I know but Chase is so different , his voice is so magical and he is really cute.........

Oh yeah, I drawled

*

I met my brother eating his lunch when I got home

Welcome Candy! he greeted flashing me a smile

What is with smile? I asked curiously

Just go into the room and see for yourself..

*

I pushed the door to the room opened and walked in

The brand new guitar on the bed suddenly caught my attention

Is this really for me?I wondered walking towards the bed

I picked up the beautiful red guitar and a paper fell from it

I picked up the paper and turned it over, there was a note on it

I read the note out loud and a smiled

“Baby! Your guitar was too old so I decided to get a new one.

So follow your dreams, believe in yourself and never give up. Remember mum always got your back...

Thanks so much mum!

My dad parked in front of the mansion and instructed me to go in

Are you going somewhere? I asked

Yes son , he replied. I need to go over to the courthouse to make preparation for the wedding tomorrow

Alright dad. I smiled

I alighted from the car and he drove off

*

I knocked on the huge gate and it was immediately opened by the security

Welcome sir! he greeted opening the gate wider

I gave him a small smile and walked into the house

*

I was surprised to see Nick laying on the sofa drunk

There were few bottles scattered in front of him

I shook my head in pity and headed upstairs to mother room

I pushed the door to her room opened and walked in

She was reading a book

Mum! I called while walking towards her

She looked up at me and gave me a curious look

I knew she wanted to know how it all went

They all like my song mother , they really do love it . I said and she smiled

Guess what mother!

She gave me a puzzled look

You will soon become a Delgado, You will get married to Dad tomorrow.......
