CHAPTER 29
Klara's 's pov
"Klara what did you do at Kings?" Mario asked once we reached home, all my brothers were present in the living room with my parents.
"Nothing, i met helga then alex and i watched Ice Age" i shrugged and plopped myself down to our white couch where Mr Oreo was laying.
"Did you had something or you want me to cook something" my dearest mother asked.
"Nope, already ate lasagna. Ryan asked me to stay for dinner but i declined"
"And why did you do that" Lorenzo asked raising his eyebrows.
"Oh yeah then you guys would have murdered me if i would have been late" I chuckled
"I already talked to Veronica, its fine klara now come on go change then we guys will watch movie" My father said.
I changed into my cute pink panther night suit and went downstairs and saw my family already eating dinner, i went and sat with them even though I am not eating.
"Mom did you know grayson has a crush" i poked my head into my family's useless talks, which just only consist of how are things at office?
How many did you tortured?
And BLAH BLAH BLAH more about mafia.
With me saying Grayson has crush , gray snapped his head towards me and shot me the most deadliest look which says 'i am going to kill you after dinner'. I shrugged.
"What?" Dad asked
"Oh hush, Leonardo! Our boys are too growing up so don't act it up as a big deal! And don't forget about our little klara" my mom smiled showing me her perfectly white teeth.
Look how the table has changed.
Suddenly i found our dinning rooms fan so cool that i watched it and pretended that I didn't heard my mother.
"Haha funny but no" dad replied sarcastically
"What i am not joking! Lorenzo and i have a little secret" my mother said throwing a knowing look at Lorenzo to which Lorenzo just nodded.
I really am not liking where this thing is going.
"Nope na na, we every time watch klara's movements in school so no way there is going to be any boyfriend or shit" aiden retorted
"It sucks to be me" i grunted. Showing my anger but i love my life and my family so much, I respect their decision every time. They know i am joking.
"Klara are you excited for your solo annual singing competition which is up for next week?" Anthony asked.
"Nope, not at all! I am so nervous" i said
"Dont be like that k bear. We all are going to be there for you" Mario said
"You all will come really?" I asked amused because I literally gave all hope up as i know they all are so busy.
"Wouldn't want to miss my k bears competition now do I?" Dad said placing his hand on a chin and pretended to look serious.
I laughed and ohhhh-
"Mum you didn't asked who is Grayson's crush" Take that you stupid grayson, its for you not buying me my Starbucks coffee.
"Klara you really are something else" andrew chuckled
"Oh yeah I completely forgot that, and who that young lady might be" my dad asked.
Dad asked! Like seriously!
"I don't know dad, he doesn't tell me anything you should ask him" i said trying to control my laugh.
"You are dead klara" Grayson shouted and went away from dinning room.
"I am just kidding mom dad" i said
"We already know that he is dating some Sophia right? Someone told me" dad said.
Wait a second! My eyes got widened.
"Who is this someone" i said.
"No one you should be concerned of" dad said.
Very funny dad.
After everyone had dinner we all watched movie, and i made my family watch 'Lion king' i love that movie so much, some maids served us popcorn and coke and we enjoyed our night .
After few days—
The day for which i have been nervous wreck for week is finally here!
My ANNUAL SOLO SINGING COMPETITION
And i am legitimately freaking out!
What if something happens in between the concert?
What if harry styles liked my singing and then he will kidnap me?
"Shut up klara you are thinking way too far" lia exaggerated.
"You are a cheerleader you would never know what it is to do solo competition" i replied
"You stupid! There are auditions and etc, and as a kid i did took part in solo competitions i guess" lia answered
"Oh my god! Shut up you both! Come on klara wear our school uniform fast" Sophia said while handling me my uniform.
"Why can't i wear MY clothes, why do i have wear this stupid uniform" i asked sweetly. Note the sarcasm
"I dont know, i am just managing today's competition and what instructions i have been given i am telling you, now come on hurry up with ten minutes its your chance" with that sophia left for 'arranging things' i swear this girl works a lot.
Since morning, i have been feeling nervous, i didn't even ate properly but one scolding from lorenzo and i ate the whole food! Every school and University students are going to be present that means Azrael and his friends.
God please help me'
I changed into my uniform and waited backstage for my name.
"Klara you are next come on" sophia whisper yelled.
"Now for our last contestant Klara Ivy De Luca , please give her a huge round of Applause" our principal said , and passed me the mic. The auditorium looks so big and so many people are here, everyone were shouting and clapping for me.
Sophia and lia showed me thubms up
which helped me a little in gaining confidence.
Its now or never.
"Hello everyone, today i am going to sing and play: Wondering by Julia Lester and Olivia Rodrigo" i announced and took my seat at pianos chair.
Here it goes -
" Seems like a part of me will always have to lose
Every single time I have to choose
Swore that it felt right, but was I wrong?
Is this where I'm supposed to be at all?
I don't have the answers, not today
It's like nothing makes the questions go away
What I'd give to see if the grass was greener
On the other side of all I've had and lost
Would it be enough, or would I still be wondering?
If I could go back and change the past
Be a little braver than I had
And bet against the odds
Would I still be lost?
Even if I woke up in my dreams
Would there still be something I'm missing
If I had everything, would it mean anything
To me?
Feels like I might have broke the best thing that I had
I said too much to ever take it back
Scared I'll never find something as good
And would I even know it if I could?
From the other side of all I've had and lost
Would it be enough, or would I still be wondering?
(Or would I still be wondering, oh)"
I opened my eyes and saw everyone clapping and hooting and shouting.
"Excellent performance Miss Klara! Thank you everyone for attending the competition, the results are going to be announced soon"our principal said. I hurriedly left the stage and went to sophia and lia.
"Oh my god you were amazing" lia shouted.
"You are awesome! You are definitely going to win" sophia said.
"Thank you guys, i love you guys so much" i shouted.
We three then group hugged. God please i want to win! I have put so much effort in this competition, i have worked so hard! Please let me win.
After ten minutes principal again came to stage with one gold trophy and a certificate.
"The winner of Annual Solo Singing competition is.." yes he is definitely creating chaos.
The audience said many participants name, some were shouting my name.
"KLARA IVY DE LUCA" principal announced.
Who is klara?
Oh yeah that's me!
Oh my god i won!
I went to stage and principal gave me my trophy and certificate and photographers took my and principal's pictures.
"Congratulations klara! Keep it up" our principal said and handed me the mic.
"Thank you to my school teacher for giving me lessons , my parents for giving me courage and my brothers for their support. Without these people I wouldn't have been able to performance. Thank you so much everyone." I said happily. And left the stage.
The participants were allowed to leave the backstage after the performance was ended and since the compromise too has ended i have to find my parents.
Where are they!!
"Miss klara your parents are waiting for you" my fathers guard came and took me to my whole family.
Everyone were laughing and smiling.
"Mom dad" i shouted, they looked backwards and i came running towards their arms.
"I am so proud of you my little klara" dad said ruffling my hair
"My baby is best! You were amazing klara" mom said
"My turn! Oh my god you were so good" andrew yelled gaining other people's attention but Aiden didn't cared
"Our sister is best" he too yelled
"It was amazing bambiana" mario said
"It was awesome pig" Anthony said
"You were rocking klara" lorenzo said
"She is best because i am her brother" Grayson said and i rolled my eyes.
They didn't even gave me the chance to reply as they were continuously praising me.
"You guys speak so fast! Thank you everyone i love you guys" i said in teary eyes, i did something which made my family happy.
Grayson i and twins did our funny handshake, my three elder brothers nonchalantly said that its to childish so they are not going to do it.
Whatever.
We all started to left for our home when Azrael came smiling . My family was ahead of me , aiden saw Azrael. They did their handshake and aiden left saying he is waiting for me outside.
"You were amazing klara, i loved it so much. Didnt knew you were such an amazing singer" This boy will kill me. He is sweetest.
"Thank you Azrael. I was nervous first but then its now or never right?" I chuckled at my statement.
"Yeah its now or never" with that Azrael kissed me on my MY LIPS.
WHAT THE HOLY MOLY!
Azrael is kissing me!
How do you even kiss?
I have never kissed!
Azrael's lips were soft and i followed his lips.
Shocked would be an understatement but this is something else.
I broke the kiss , my family is here.
"W-why? W-what?" I stuttered and my hand on my face.
"We will talk later, your family is waiting" Azrael said and i nodded and left.
My family and i left for our home and throughout the entire ride my face was like tomato.
I don't know what this kiss meant to him, but it meant everything to me!
I never had an boyfriend but this feeling is new to me.
Thank god we were at schools private compartment or otherwise someone would have spread the rumours , then my parents would have know and then i dont even want to think what would have happened.
"Lolo can we please have Starbucks" i pleaded lorenzo showing him my puppy dog eyes which i know is going to work.
"Yeah okay! Just today because you won. Anything else you would like to eat" Lorenzo asked
"Umm yeah! Mc donalds, Dunkin donuts, KFC, Subway" my rambling was cut short when everyone started laughing.
"Not the whole planets shop you idiot, tell one thing" mario said.
Yeah yeah whatever.
"KFC! I want chicken popcorn" i shouted.
"Of course sweetheart" Anthony said.
We all took drive through, even though Mario said one of the guard will come and bring our order, but i wanted to have a normal day.
Normal day when an child wins , family celebrates.
So thats what we did.
We enjoy and then slept.
It took me three hours to sleep because that scene kept replaying in my head.
You better not break my heart Azrael!
