Chapter 18: Hide
I'm almost desperate to see what they talked about. Damien doesn't like Jacks so why did he decide to talk to him in the first place? After meeting in Jacks room, I ate lunch and went to the stadium to get ready for this week's elimination ceremony. Three were leaving us today. I can't wait to see how the fans voted for my other song. I was getting ready and Clarissa was already finished. She was going to wait for me, Jacks, and Louise to finish getting ready. So we can follow at least one of the judges and see what are they doing before the show. It was Clarissa's idea which I think was stupid. If they catch us, it could cost us everything so we need to be careful. I was finished and I had a suit the same style as the outfit I wore yesterday. I really liked it. It was vintage and aesthetic. I left the waiting room and saw Clarissa waiting outside.
"Ohh, Adryan you're done. Only two more" she leaned on the wall and rapidly tapped her foot on the floor. "Are you nervous?" I asked.
"This is a very serious thing we're going to do. I'm anxious I can't wait to find at least one clue" she rubbed her palms together.
"It will be ok. Let's just wait for the others" I said and she took a deep breath and relaxed,
"ok" We waited for Jacks and Louise. Louise finished first and Jacks last. We rushed to catering and there was nobody there.
"There's nobody here," Jacks said placing his hands on his hips looking at Clarissa with an annoyed look. "They must be hungry, they'll come soon," She said hopefully and we waited. We heard someone laughing, "quick, hide," Louise said and we hid under the table. Good thing the tablecloth was long, nobody could see us, but if we made a simple noise, we're busted. We were still as a statue and we tried to listen to the people who came.
"Well, today three of them are getting eliminated. I'm so excited" he sounded like Grant.
Excited? Why is he excited about them getting eliminated?
"Once we get rid of them, it will be so satisfying. They won't feel a thing" Thomas laughed and we all gave each other confused looks. Clarissa mouthed,
"I knew it"
"Let's go ready, the show almost starts," Grant said and they left. We exited the table and we saw Charlotte and Hector walking towards us.
"Oh no" Jacks said as he placed his right hand on his face.
"Hey guys, why are you under the table?" Charlotte asked as she had her hand interlaced with Hector's. Eww.
"We were playing a game, you should play it. It's called, hide from the contestants" I said and they looked at each other weirded out but slightly convinced.
"Maybe we sneak there one day and make out," Hector said and they rubbed their noses together. We all gave them disgusted looks and we left them there because it was too much to handle.
"I have to tell Veronica" Louise left to find Veronica and it was just us there waiting for the show to start. The show started and Karen presented us. She strutted on the stage laughing annoyingly after presenting us all. The crowd cheered and she thanked them all by blowing them kisses.
"Ok let's get started. Today three contestants are leaving us today" Some people in the crowd booed.
"I know all of you like them, but they need to leave eventually" she smiled and we all looked at each other weirded out.
"Ok, let's ask some of them some questions" she walked to some of them and asked them for advice. They answered and it was time to see the rankings. She whistled loudly into the mic,
"ok, in three" she counted and so did the crowd. After they counted one the rankings appeared.

Wow, I'm impressed by how far my
other song made it into the rankings. I'm surprised Damien made it into the number one spot. The song really was special to the fans and me, kinda. Hector, Theo, and Liam were eliminated. Honestly, I'm not surprised. Carla raised her hand,
"let me speak" They had a look of hope on their faces.
"I see potential, make them into a group," she suddenly said and the other two judges started arguing with her. Why make them a group? It's not going to work out. They all ended up agreeing and they were sent to audition once again after the show ended. I went straight to my hotel room and I got cleaned up. I exited the bathroom and Damien was already there. I must've not heard him enter. "Did you hear?" He said.
"What happened?" I asked.
"Hector, Liam, and Theo didn't make their audition. They are eliminated"
