Kacchan and me went first, again, we sang Try Everything by Shakira.

Oh oh oh oh oooh
Oh oh oh oh oooh
Oh oh oh oh oooh
Oh oh oh oh oooh
I messed up tonight, I lost another fight
I still mess up but I'll just start again
I keep falling down, I keep on hitting the ground
I always get up now to see what's next
Birds don't just fly, they fall down and get up
Nobody learns without getting it wrong
I won't give up, no I won't give in
Til I reach the end and then I'll start again
No I won't leave, I wanna try everything
I wanna try even though I could fail
I won't give up, no I won't give in
Til I reach the end and then I'll start again
No I won't leave, I wanna try everything
I wanna try even though I could fail
Oh oh oh oh oooh
Try everything
Oh oh oh oh oooh
Try everything
Oh oh oh oh oooh
Try everything
Oh oh oh oh oooh
Look at how far you've come, you filled your heart with love
Baby you've done enough, take a deep breath
Don't beat yourself up, don't need to run so fast
Sometimes we come last, but we did our best
I won't give up, no I won't give in
Til I reach the end and then I'll start again
No I won't leave, I wanna try everything
I wanna try even though I could fail
I won't give up, no I won't give in
Til I reach the end and then I'll start again
No I won't leave, I wanna try everything
I wanna try even though I could fail
I'll keep on making those new mistakes
I'll keep on making them every day
Those new mistakes

The audience clapped for us, as we exited the stage. We got to Ren and Kai who were complimenting us. I smiled brightly, but looked over to see Kiato sitting in a chair looking down. I walked over to her and crouched down to see tears falling down her face, and I saw her phone in her hand. Kiato’s teeth were clenched together and I tried to comfort her for whatever the reason that made her cry. 

She lightly pushed me away saying, “I don’t need your help or pity. Got it? I don’t want to hurt you either.” She got up and walked away going to Present Mic before I could answer her.

I just got up and walked back to the others shaking off the sad feeling I had. If she doesn’t want my help right now, then she won’t have it at the moment. Apparently Ren was up next, though you could tell she didn’t want to be. She went on the stage and started singing Digital Daggers, The Devil Within.

I'll keep quiet
You won't even know I'm here
You won't suspect a thing
You won't see me in the mirror
But I crept into your heart
You can't make me disappear
'Til I make you
I made myself at home
In the cobwebs and the lies
I'm learning all your tricks
I can hurt you from inside
I made myself a promise
You would never see me cry
'Til I make you
You'll never know what hit you
Won't see me closing in
I'm gonna make you suffer
This hell you put me in
I'm underneath your skin
The devil within
You'll never know what hit you
I'll be here
When you think you're all alone
Seeping through the cracks
I'm the poison in your bones
My love is your disease
I won't let it set you free
'Til I break you
You'll never know what hit you
Won't see me closing in
I'm gonna make you suffer
This hell you put me in
I'm underneath your skin
The devil within
You'll never know what hit you
I tried to be the lover to your nightmare
Look what you made of me
Now I'm the heavy burden that you can't bear
Look what you made of me
Look what you made of me
I'll make you see
You'll never know what hit you
Won't see me closing in
I'm gonna make you suffer
This hell you put me in
I'm underneath your skin
The devil within
You'll never know what hit you
The devil within
You'll never know what hit you

The crowd clapped and cheered Ren on, she waved to them happily and walked off stage.

“Good job, Ren. Now let a class 2-A student show you how it’s done,” Kiato said walking onto the stage. She started an unfamiliar song to the crowd.

I'm sorry but you story isn't adding up
Think your religion is a lie to keep my mouth shut
So I won't testify to crime you're keeping score of
Why don't you throw me to the wolves I thought you were one
You were standing there like an angry god
Counting out my sins just to cross them off
Saying that my tongue was too loud to trust
And that my blood couldn't keep you
My dear, you're not so innocent
You're fooling heaven's gates
So you won't have to change
You're no saint, you're no savior
Your revelations don't look nothing like the pictures
You read between the lines and don't stick to the scriptures
You only follow rules if other follow with you
That doesn't sound too holy, only playing victim
You were standing there like an angry god
Counting out my sins just to cross them off
Saying that my tongue was too loud to trust
And that my blood couldn't keep you
My dear, you're not so innocent
You're fooling heaven's gates
So you won't have to change
You're no saint, you're no savior
So keep your judgment for someone else, I've had enough
And keep your judgment for someone else, I've had enough
So keep your judgment for someone else, I've had enough
And keep your judgment for someone else, I've had enough
My dear, you're not so innocent
You're fooling heaven's gates
So you won't have to change
You're no saint, you're no savior

The crowd cheered loudly, even though some of them didn’t know what that song was. Kai, Ren, Katsuki, the other singers, and I were very surprised. My jaw was dropped and I had no words for my older sister when she came back stage. Kiato flipped her hair at us and walked away.
Her personality was changing dramatically, and I don’t think anyone like that. She was so kind and nice for years, now she is getting mean and disrespectful. Ren was getting angry about this, and then she left for some fresh air. As Kai went with her Present Mic announced who was going onto the next and final round.

“The two that will be going onto the final round will be… Ren and Kiato!” The crowd was really happy about that, and I was sad that Kacchan and I didn’t make it to the final round. 

Kacchan realized this. “It’s alright Izu, We’ll win next time.” He rubbed my head and then left to go sit in the crowd. I smiled at his disappearing figure.
