To step into the Unknown

by Izumi Ishtar alias Izzu

A few more minutes... and counting. And then all hell’s will break loose on stage. Her heart was starting to thump wildly anyway and the competition had not even started yet! The head mistress and the invited officials had yet to finish their speeches. So they still had TIME. Yeah, time was all that she needed now.

To think all those two months of training and memorising had finally coming down to an end right now. She paced around some more as her friend scolded her. No matter. At least pacing around the car calmed her nerves. She needed that now.

“Hey! At least you guys are doing a duet. I’ll be solo-ing up there instead!”

The girl stopped her pacing to look up and stare at her friend. Yeah, true on that though, but still...

She continued making her her rounds, pacing around the big car parked beside the building as her two friends continued to watch her. A few younger students nearby had been staring at them, but she did not care. The other friend started to laugh.

“Is this some kind of a ritual for you?”

“Yeah!”

Amused, the other boy joined her to pace around the big car.
