“What’s your name again?” Miss Natalia asked checking the paper with her again to see if she made a mistake
“I’m Nirvana Luther from Las Vegas” Nirvana replied still wondering what the problem was
“Are you a twin?” Natalia asked again and she shook her head
How can I be a twin?.. Nirvana thought
Aliya, Elsa, Melanie, Alex and Loveth left the dressing room to see what was happening
Aliya dragged Nirvana to a corner and her eyes immediately landed on jasmine and she gasped
Her eyes flicked from Nirvana to Jasmine and she gasp again more loudly
“Nirva, look.. she said pointing at Jasmine’s direction and Alex and Loveth trace her hands and their mouth also drop open
“WTF” Nirvana exclaimed
Who is this? Why does she have my face and body? Nirvana thought looking back at the crowd
Why is there a duplicate of me here in Korea? no one is supposed to have my face..she thought staring at Jasmine angrily..
“How come Jasmine looks exactly like the girl from Las Vegas?” Rachel asked and Stephanie shrug
Desmond stared at Nirvana as he tried to read her mind but all his efforts proved abortive
“Why does she have Jasmine’s face?” Michael asked Desmond who also had a confused look on
“I dunno” he replied
“” Then read her mind” Michael said
“That’s what’s even more strange.. I can’t read her mind” Desmond replied still staring at Nirvana
“You can’t?” Michael gasp
“I told you a shocker was coming your way” Albert said sitting close to Desmond
“Sorry to disappoint you, I wasn’t shock. Instead your foolishness is what surprises me.
“You duplicated Sera’s soul? Are they related?” Desmond asked
“I didn’t say they were related” Albert smirk
” Then how would you explain what’s happening now if they were not duplicated?” Desmond asked
“You know I have no such power, I can’t duplicate them…. anyway I just wanna congratulate you” Albert smirk, then stared at Michael
“Hi buddy, it’s been long” He smile thinly but Michael didn’t reply him
“Wow, you’re bold now” he sn!gg@ed before disappearing from the hall
“Hi, I’m Nirvana Luther.. and I’m representing my school but before I sing, I wanna make a point clear
“I don’t know why she looks exactly like me but just know I’m not a twin. My entire family is from Las Vegas ” Nirvana said but the crowd was still murmuring
The murmuring stopped immediately she started singing
? Oh yeah…
? Don’t get me wrong, I love who i am
? I don’t wanna be ungrateful. It probably sounds strange
? I really love the role I play, the songs I sing, but with all the fame
?The things that seem so simple, suddenly, so far out of reach
?Wish that they could see that underneath
? I’m just an ordinary girl. Sometimes I’m lazy
? I get bored, I get scared, I feel ignored, I feel happy, I get silly, I choke on my own words
? I make wishes, I have dreams and I still want to believe, that anything can happen in this world
? For an ordinary girl
? Gosh, she’s got the voice of an angel…
? She’s good
? Wow I love you Nirvana
Wow.. why is she so good? Even better than jasmine.. Michael said looking at Nirvana while Aliya’s eyes were fixed on jasmine
Nirvana was done with her song and walk to Aliya who hugged her tightly
“Hope you’re okay?” Elsa and Melanie asked at a time and she nodded
“You aren’t offended?” Aliya asked
“Because she looks like me? I don’t get angry at silly things. She’s just lucky she has my face. Though we look alike, I’m still more pretty” Nirvana said and they all chuckled
” You resemblance is blinding, are you sure it’s a coincidence?” Aliya asked seriously
” Of course, wait… Don’t tell me you think we’re related?” Nirvana laughed
” I’m just,,,,,, guessing” Aliya replied
” No way, she’s Korean and I’m American along with mom and dad, so there’s no way we’re related” She said and Aliya nodded
“That was a great one there”Natalia smiled
” The results for the first two winners are… Natalia paused
Jasmine prayed silently, hoping she’ll win
“Ermm….. We have a draw, Nirvana and jasmine. They scored same mark” Natalia announced and Nirvana got mad
“How come we have same score when I clearly sang better than her? Nirvana fumed walking up stage and Jasmine followed
“There shouldn’t be two winner with same score. So both of you will have to compete with each other, then we can decide who will take the first position” Natalia said and Nirvana scoff
” And you’ll be singing the same song” Natalia added and handed them a paper with a song written on it
“I will go first” Jasmine said and took the microphone before facing the crowd
? Let my life shine brightly
? Brightly like the moon
? My life!!!!!!!!
? My life!!!!!!
? Is mine to livvvvvveeeeeee!!!! Jasmine sang at a high pitch and everyone was amazed
? Is mine to li.. her voice suddenly seized due to how high her pitch was and she started coughing
“Why the pompous behavior when she can’t even control her voice” Nirvana scoff
? My life!!!!!
? My life!!!!!
? Is mine to livvvvvveeeeeee!!!!!!
? Is mine to livvvvvveeeeeee!!!!!!!
Nirvana sang, her pitch even higher. She kept adding intonation to the music as she sang
? Omg
? Her pitch is fire
? When I thought Jasmine had it all
“Jesus..” Miss Loveth exclaimed unaware
” Who taught her that?” Mr Alexander gasp
“Gosh, she’s cute” Aspen smiled from where he sat with Min-yung
“I wish I was her boyfriend” Aspen smiled even more
? F*ck she’s the winner already.
? I know right, how she was able to control her voice gave me shivers..
“Wow miss Luther, that was a great one there” Natalia complimented and the other Judges agreed
“We all know our winner already.. Nirvana Luther” Natalia said and the crowd cheered while Jasmine’s eyes glisten with tears
“Don’t worry, you will still get the second position. I believe you. You didn’t disappoint our school after all” Sandra hugged her
“Jasmine McAdams for the second position” Natalia announced and jasmine walked up the stage
“We can’t believe you came to our school and took away the Golden medal” Natalia said putting the golden medal round Nirvana’s neck
She doesn’t even know the number of medals I have…. Nirvana scoff mentally
“Even if the competition was held at diamond musical school, I wouldn’t have let you guys bring home any medals” Nirvana said and Natalia, Sandra and jasmine stared at her weirdly
“She must be a really proud person” Sandra muttered lowly but Nirvana heard her
“Yes I’m proud and That’s because I’m good at everything I do” Nirvana release a fake smile which quickly disappeared as it came before walking out of hall with Aliya

* Minutes later*
The audition was over, Mr Alexander and Miss Loveth left for the director’s office while Aliya and Nirvana sat at the school garden watching as the students passed by
Some walked up to Nirvana, asking if they could be Friends but she kept turning them down
Elsa and Melanie had returned to the hotel since they didn’t perform
Desmond walk out of the hall, his eyes surveying the students as he looked for Nirvana when suddenly Rachel stood Infront of him, blocking his way
“Pest” he muttered lowly
“You wanna see something fun?” Michael asked in his mind with a mischievous smile displaying on his lips
“Do wh@tëver you like” he replied
“I will be back” Michael said and left them to an empty classroom. “This will be so much fun” he said excitedly and made himself invisible before walking to where Rachel was standing with Desmond
Desmond shook his head at his silliness but didn’t say anything
“Pest, You don’t want him to go find out Nirvana’s identity right? Then I’ll have to show you what I’m made of” Michael said and Desmond scoffed, looking at the invisible Michael. Of course he was the only one who could see Michael
Michael started touching Rachel’s hair making her uncomfortable
“What’s that?” Rachel said looking around but saw no one
Michael suddenly caressed her cheeks and she let out a loud shriek
“Ghost! Ghost” She shouted and started running away while Desmond burst into laughter
The invisible Michael kept running after her
“Rachel wait” Stephanie called, running after her too
.
.
“I’ll go get us something to drink” Aliya said and left the garden leaving Nirvana all alone..
Nirvana kept staring into space when Rachel and the invisible Michael ran passed her
“Why are you tormenting the innocent girl?” Nirvana asked, grabbing Michael’s hands
He halted his steps and his eyes dilated in shock
“you…you can see me?” He asked with a little stutter
Racheal was already out of sight
“Why not? Are you invisible?” Nirvana asked back, raising a questioning brow at him
“Forget it” Michael gave her strange looks before leaving the garden
Who exactly is she? How come she could see me ? Michael thought and transformed into his human form
.
.
.
TBC
Who exactly is she? In Michael’s voice?
Is their resemblance a coincidence?
