The Real Life of Josh

Chapter 2: The Story of A Boy Part 2

Entering my senior year is not that easy. I am middle famous on my school. I am the auditor of the mother club organization of the institution. Many lower year students approached me then called me kuya. I was really not that famous on school but still I was able to share my name with others.

There comes a time, I saw something at the mall after my class.

THE VOICE AUDITION
Batangas City
September 16, 20_ _
4pm at the SM Event Center

I rushed ahead going to my mom and dad.
They told me to go and try my luck. Unluckily, I didn't made it due to exams.

I wasted my opportunity in being a star. Haha. But I don't look at it on a negative. It is my stepping stone that I learned.

One month and we will be graduating from High School. And I saw something popped up on my facebook account.

X FACTOR UK was looking for auditionees on May 24, 20 _ _. It doesn't matter if you're not pure british or half. But a British citizenship will do.

I approach my dad about this.

"Dad, I want to join that competition", I told him. "Maybe this is my chance".

My parents always support me. Good thing We have relatives at England so after the graduation, we fixed our things, packed and fly to England.

After 2months, good thing the UK embassy is fast pertaining to citizenship, we are coiled as British citizens momentarily.

That's my audition number
3pm I was called

Simon: what's your name?

"I am Josh"

Kelly: How old are you?

"I am 16"

Paulina: Where you from?

"Basically I am from the Philippines but we arranged our citizenship in England then we presides at England with my relatives"

Demi: So what are you going to sing?

"Oh my.! Demi is here. I am a Lovatic"

Demi: thank you. You're cute

"I'm going to sing Heart Attack by you, Demi Lovato"

Simon: Let us hear it.

Heart Attack
-Demi Lovato-

Puttin my defenses up
Cause I don't wanna fall in love
If I ever did that
I think I'd have a heart attack

Never break a sweat for the other girls
But when you come around I get paralyzed
And everytime I tried to be myself
It comes out wrong like I cry for help
It's just not fair
Brings more trouble than love was worth
I gasp for air
Feels so good and you know it hurts

But you
Make me wanna act like a boy
Buy you drinks and take you out
Yes you
Make me so nervous that I just can't hold your hand

The feeling's got lost in my lungs
They're burning I'd rather be numb
Yeah there's no one else to blame
So scared I'd take off and I run
I'm flying too close to the sun
And I burst into flames

You make me glow oh oh oh
But I cover up won't let it show oh oh oh
So I'm puttin my defenses up
Cause I don't wanna fall in love
If I ever did that
I think I'd have a heart att---ack

I think I'd have a heart attack

Thank you
