“I don’t know, I don’t know what to do right now about my baby.” Fearne said “I need to call my mom, but… but…”

“But what?” asked Jordan.

“I need some fresh air alone.” Fearne left the backstage.

Then Ryan greeted all of them bringing his guitar “Hi, guys!”

Everybody got shocked when Ryan arrived at the backstage, including Sophia, who said “Oh, it’s you again, the opening act for Kris Neil, what in the hell are you doing here?”

“I got a full scholarship from Jakarta Arts, remember?” Ryan said.

“You never told that.”

Edwin then remembered “Wait! You’re the winner of Jakarta Arts’ Ultimate Singing Competition, aren’t you?! I watched the show on Jakarta Arts website!!”

“Yeah, dude! I won the competition and got the full scholarship from that show!” shouted Ryan.

Will congratulated him “Congratulations, mate, if you need help, just tell us, we’re ready to help you with school things.”

Ryan said “Yeah, thank you.” He was called by the announcer “Oh, it’s my performance, wish me luck!”

“Yeah, dude!” shouted Edwin.

“Guys, we better sit down in the audience seats,” Will said “We want to watch the hopefuls audition, right?”

“Yeah!” shouted everyone.

Ryan walked to the stage, then he sat down on the chair on stage seeing the judges and audience, he saw Ally sitting on one of the judges’ chairs smiling at him. Then Ryan started playing his guitar and singing OneRepublic’s Love Runs Out “'ll be your light, your match, your burning sun, I'll be the bright, in black that's makin' you run. And we'll feel alright, and we'll feel alright, 'cause we'll work it out, yeah we'll work it out. I'll be doin' this, if you had a doubt, 'til the love runs out, 'til the love runs out.” The audience screamed and cheered for him in joy as he sang, he continued singing “I'll be your ghost, your game, your stadium. I'll be your fifty-thousand clapping like one. And I feel alright, and I feel alright, ‘cause I worked it out, yeah I worked it out. I'll be doin' this, if you had a doubt, 'til the love runs out, 'til the love runs out.” He then sang the chorus with his high note “I got my mind made up, man, I can't let go. I'm killing every second 'til it saves my soul. I'll be running, I'll be running, 'til the love runs out, 'til the love runs out. And we'll start a fire, and we'll shut it down, 'til the love runs out, 'til the love runs out.”

“Whoa, he’s better than ever!” commented Jordan to Oliver.

Ryan sang the bridge “Oh, we all want the same thing. Oh, we all run for something. Run for God, for fate, for love, for hate, for gold, for rust, for diamonds, for dust. I'll be your light, your match, your burning sun, I'll be the bright, in black that's makin' you run.” He sang the chorus again with his high note, much to the audience’s applause “I got my mind made up, man, I can't let go.

As Fearne left the backstage of Jakarta Arts Theatre, she went to Jakarta Arts Square. From the backstage, she looked at the hopefuls lining up in front of the backstage waiting for the call and watching the performance on the installed television in every single corner.

Fearne arrived at Jakarta Arts Square, at least far from the hopefuls lining up around the square, she sat down on the bench near the announcement board. She took her phone checking on her Twitter. She saw on her Twitter timeline the “audition” word was trending, then she thought about her baby girl.

“Excuse me, are you Fearne Mills?” asked the man with buzz cut hair wearing blue t-shirt.

“Yes,” Fearne replied “I’m sorry, have we met before?”

“Oh, I’m the coach of Jakarta Arts football team, I’m Travis Donaldson, you may know me in the reality webshow, The Real Teachers of Jakarta Arts on Jakarta Arts website.”

“I never watched that show.”

Travis immediately got to the point “I want to adopt your baby.”

“What?”

“I heard from Jake that you’re pregnant during the second semester, so being a teen mom must be really hard for you as you have to balance between your baby and school.” Travis then asked “So are you letting your baby go for adoption?”

Fearne had not made her decision yet “I… I don’t know.”

“Well, if you don’t want to let your baby go, it’s alright, well, if you change your mind, I’ll be here. I gotta go.”

“Wait!”

“Yeah?”

“I think I can’t raise my baby in this school. But first, may I tell you my experience?”

***

The first hopeful that came to the stage was the boy who had short spiky hair, muscular body, and somewhat clean face, he wore blue shirt and black jeans, he faced the judges and the audiences, he introduced himself “Hello, I’m Ed. Just Ed. I’m going to sing Austin Mahone’s All I Ever Need.”

Jake said to Delta “I think the first hopeful is familiar to someone, but I don’t know.”

Delta said “It’s just your feeling, Jake.”

As the music started, Ed started singing “Don't the water grow the trees. Don't the moon pull the tide. Don't the stars light the sky. Like you need to light my life. If you need me anytime. You know I'm always right by your side. See I've never felt this love. You're the only thing that's on my mind.”

“Wow!” shouted Casey as the audience started cheering for Ed.

Ed continued singing “You don't understand how much you really mean to me. I need you in my life, you're my necessity. But believe me that you're everything that just makes my world complete, my love is clear the only thing I love. You're all I ever need… Baby you're amazing, you're my angel come and save me. You're all I ever need… Baby you're amazing, you're my angel come and save me.”

The audience stood up as they continued cheering Ed up by clapping their hands as Casey told so with his body language standing up “C’mon, guys!”

Ed continued singing until the end “When it comes to you, baby I'm addicted. You're like a drug, no rehab can fix it. I think you're perfect even with your flaws. You ask what I like about you, ooh, I love it all. When it comes to you, baby I'm addicted. You're like a drug, no rehab can fix it. I think you're perfect even with your flaws. You ask what I like about you, ooh, I love it all. You're all I ever need… Baby you're amazing, you're my angel come and save me. You're all I ever need… Baby you're amazing, you're my angel come and save me.”

After the song ended, the audience gave the standing ovation to Ed, and some judges like Ally, Delta, Jake, and Casey, but Mr. Henderson just gave only applause without standing up.

“Thank you, thank you, everyone.” Ed told before leaving the stage.

Delta said “He was pretty amazing!”

Ally told “That’s the way to start the audition!”

***

Fearne told Travis her story as they were sitting on the bench in Jakarta Arts Square “It was on Halloween night I was impregnated by the male gigolo named Deacon, well basically he was expelled. I was expelled as well, but I’m back here.”

“But you can’t be pregnant again, right? If you’re, you will be expelled for good.”

“I know.” Fearne continued her story “Then during the summer, I went to Toronto with my friends, Miss Delta, Mr. Jake, and Mr. Spencer, but I was kidnapped by Deacon, then I had my baby in the middle of the forest, it was really emotional.” Fearne started crying.

“Fearne, I think I understand how you feel right now.” Travis told.

As the audition continued, many teenagers attempted to replicate Ed’s successful audition, but they ended up failed, such as the singers who sang various popular songs like OneRepublic’s Counting Stars, Ed Sheeran’s Sing, MKTO’s Classic, Miley Cyrus’ Made in the USA, and Maroon 5’s Never Gonna Leave This Bed really pitchy, there were also dancers who danced really badly, from tap to hip-hop. The judges got really bored after the bad auditions they had watched.

Then Jake said “Please, please show us your good talent, next hopeful…”

Casey was desperate “I didn’t think this is really hard… Man, I hope the next is good enough…”

The next hopeful finally came to the stage, he had black short straight hair, he wore white t-shirt, red jacket, and white pants, he introduced himself “Hello, I’m Andrew Harrington, and I’m going to sing Chris Brown’s Loyal.”

Jake hoped “Please, show me your good talent…”

As the music started, Andrew said “Young mula, baby! You thought it was over?” He then rapped “I wasn't born last night. I know these things ain't right. But you was blowing up her phone last night, but she ain't have her ringer nor her ring on last night, oh. Now, that's that nerve, why give a girl your heart when she'd rather have a purse? Why give a girl an inch when she'd rather have nine? You know how the game goes, she be mine by half time, I'm the, I’m the, oh. Now, that's that nerve, you all about her, and she all about hers, Birdman Junior in this girl, no flamingos, and I done did everything, but trust these people.” His rap impressed the audience and the judges.

“Yeah!! That’s what I’m talking about!!” shouted Jake.

Andrew then sang “When a rich girl want ya, and your girl can't do nothing for ya. These girls ain't loyal. These girls ain't loyal. Yeah, yeah, let me see. Just got rich, took a broke girl. I can make a broke girl rich, but I don't love with broke girls. I know your girl wanna lay wit’cha. I took her to Dubai with me. White girls, like Lady Gaga, rolling up that Bob Marley, I'm a rasta. She wanna do drugs, smoke ah, get drunk, she wanna see a boy trapped, she wanna love all the rappers.” He could see the audience started cheering for him as he continued singing “When a rich girl want ya, want you baby, and your girl can't do nothing for ya, nothing no. These girls ain't loyal, no they ain’t. These girls ain't loyal. Yeah, yeah, let me see.” Then he rapped again “With ciroc in the system? Ain't no telling will I love them, will I diss them, that's what they be yelling, I'm a pimp by blood, no relation, I don't chase 'em, I replace 'em. LVs, Hermes, Dolces. Them girls ain't loyal. Man, they rotate, school me to the game, now I know my duty, put it in the loader, she was riding in the hoot. That girl, I got my own, your weed, got my own,  had to put my mink back on, tell that bitch, put a ring back on.” He sang again “Come on, come on, girl, why you frontin'? Baby show me something, when I call her, she gon' leave, and I bet that bottom dollar she gon' cheat. Come on, come on, girl, why you frontin'? Baby show me something, you just spent your bread on her, and it's all for nothing. When a rich girl want ya, want you baby, and your girl can't do nothing for ya, nothing no. These girls ain't loyal, no they ain’t. These girls ain't loyal. Yeah, yeah, let me see. When a rich girl want ya, want you baby, and your girl can't do nothing for ya, nothing no. These girls ain't loyal, no they ain’t. These girls ain't loyal. Yeah, yeah, let me see.”

Afterwards, the audience gave Andrew cheers and applause, some of them giving standing ovation, while the judges did so, especially Jake and Casey cheered on him giving standing ovation.

“Yeah!!” shouted Casey.

“That’s better!!” shouted Jake.

Andrew simply said “Thanks for watching my performance, wish me luck.” He then left the stage.

Will spoke “He’s such a good rapper!”

Oliver said “I think he could be the replacement for Freddie.”

Jordan said “Speaking about Freddie, Ed is kinda familiar to him.”

Amber commented “It’s just your feelings.”

“Right,” Jordan said.

“Fearne is still not here?” asked Sophia.

***

Fearne and Travis went to Bunda Children Hospital, where her baby was taken care of by the nurses. As they entered the hospital, they saw many pregnant women and the mothers holding their babies sitting on the bench, as well as the midwifes walking around.

They also looked the guides for the pregnant women and the mothers to take care of their babies on the wall with cute baby pictures and drawings.

They went to the newborn babies’ room, where the newborn babies are there sleeping and lying in each small bed, however, they can’t technically entered, they were separated by the room, door and window from the babies.

“So where is she?” asked Travis.

Fearne pointed her baby, the baby was the second from the right “Well, this is hard, but… before I finish my high school, I don’t think I’m ready to be a mom, you know why.”

Travis noticed “Wow, you’re sure? You better think again, Fearne.”

“I have to finish my school.”

“So you let me adopt your baby?”

Fearne replied “Yes, but let me know about her growth, if you had problems with her, you can call me, at least I can help you.” She then asked “Why do you want to adopt her?”

Travis replied “My mom was pregnant out of wedlock, my dad slept with other woman, so she dumped him right before I was born, until now, I never understand how my mom really suffered raising me alone. So I have to experience being a single dad to understand how my mom feel raising me alone.”

Then the black short haired nurse came greeting them “Hello, you’re here, Fearne Mills, and is he your husband?”

Fearne denied “No, he’s my teacher.”

“I’m Travis Donaldson, it’s nice to meet you.”

“I guess I have to go back home.”

“Let me take you then.”

“You’re really nice, but no thanks, I can go home alone. I’ll see you later.” Fearne said before leaving the hospital.

Travis asked the nurse “Excuse me, nurse, I would love to adopt her baby.”

“Yes, sir, this way, sir.”

Some of them impressed the judges and the audiences, but some not.

It was 3 PM when a black long haired girl who wore white dress came to the stage introducing herself “I’m Tahan Guthrie, I’m going to sing a song from one of my favorite country artists, Carrie Underwood, Keep Us Safe.” As the music started, she started singing “Deserts grow cold, rivers run dry. We give up on each other without thinking twice. Hope gets lost, can't see the dawn. When the storm just won't let up, give us the faith to carry on. When we get scared, let this be our prayer… God keep us safe, safe tonight… Keep our eyes toward the skies. Send down an army of angels to make us brave, and keep us strong and unafraid, God keep us safe…” Then the audiences were touched and started giving their applause. She continued singing “Oh God keep us safe, unafraid, and keep our eyes on the heavens and give us grace. Send us an army of angels to make us brave, keep us strong and unafraid… Keep us strong and unafraid… God keep us safe… Keep us safe…”

Then the judges and audiences gave applause to her, some of them giving standing ovation, including Delta.

The boy introduced himself “I’m Harley Willis, I’m here to sing my original song, this original song is for my crush who eventually got a boyfriend, so I dedicate this song for her. And… I’m not her boyfriend, I’m single, and I’ve never been her boyfriend, I’m straight anyway.” He started playing his guitar as he sang “I was so obssessed when you’re coming into me,” He immediately amazed the judges and the audiences, making most of them cheering on him.

I don’t know what to say when you make me smile, I don’t know what to say when I meet you, you’re really crazy when I look at you, I just feel crazy. Would you say yes if I ask you love me? Would you say yes if I ask you date me?

“Yeah!!” shouted Delta.

“He’s amazing, isn’t he?” asked Ally to Delta.

Harley sang “Baby, you’re crazy, when you say you love me. Baby, you’re crazy, when you say I’m crazy… Would you say yes if I ask you love me? Would you say yes if I ask you date me? I’m just dying to know if you love me so much, I just want to know. I don’t know why I smile when you make me love you, I don’t know why you make me really crazy, I’m just dying to know if you love me so much, I just want to know.” He finally ended the song with a bang, making all audiences and the judges giving him standing ovation with screams and cheers.

“What?! Are you serious?!”

While Sophia said to Chris “Why the hell we need to watch this stupid ceremony?!”

Chris said “Relax, Sophia, we also need to know about the new students here, and you remember what Casey said to all of us, don’t you?” He flashed back:

Then Ryan, Harley, Ed, Andrew, and Tahan came to the stage greeting the audience.

“Oh my God,” said Amber “That’s the top 5?”

“Oh… He’s Harley, right?” asked Fearne.

Katie asked “Which one is Harley?”

“The brown haired one.” Fearne pointed.

As the music started, Ed started singing “I miss the taste of a sweeter life, I miss the conversation. I’m searching for a song tonight, I’m changing all of the stations.”

Ryan sang next “I like to think that we had it all, we drew a map to a better place. But on that road I took a fall, oh baby why did you run away?”

Harley, Andrew, and Tahan sang together “I was there for you in your darkest times. I was there for you in your darkest night.”

Then five of them sang the chorus together as the audience started cheering on them “But I wonder where were you when I was at my worst, down on my knees and you said you had my back, so I wonder where were you when all the roads you took came back to me. So I’m following the map that leads to you, the map that leads to you, ain't nothing I can do, the map that leads to you, following, following, following to you. The map that leads to you, ain't nothing I can do, the map that leads to you, following, following, following.”

Harley sang his verse, much to the audience’s cheers “I hear your voice in my sleep at night, hard to resist temptation. 'Cause something strange has come over me, and now I can’t get over you, no, I just can’t get over you.”

Ryan, Ed, Andrew, and Tahan sang together “I was there for you in your darkest times. I was there for you in your darkest night.”

Then five of them started singing together again “But I wonder where were you when I was at my worst, down on my knees and you said you had my back, so I wonder where were you when all the roads you took came back to me. So I’m following the map that leads to you, the map that leads to you, ain't nothing I can do, the map that leads to you, following, following, following to you. The map that leads to you, ain't nothing I can do, the map that leads to you.”

“Everybody, let’s say oh!” shouted Ryan.

All of them sang with the audience “Oh oh oh. Oh oh oh. Yeah yeah yeah. Oh oh.”

Andrew sang “Oh, I was there for you, oh, in your darkest time. Oh, I was there for you, oh, in your darkest night.”

Tahan sang “Oh, I was there for you, oh, in your darkest time. Oh, I was there for you, oh, in your darkest night.”

Then the five of them sang “But I wonder where were you when I was at my worst, down on my knees and you said you had my back, so I wonder where were you when all the roads you took came back to me. So I’m following the map that leads to you, the map that leads to you, ain't nothing I can do, the map that leads to you, following, following, following to you. The map that leads to you, ain't nothing I can do, the map that leads to you, following, following, following.”

Then the audiences gave cheers and screams in joy, most of them giving standing ovation. But Ally, Will, Oliver, Katie, Jordan,  Amber, Fearne, Edwin, Chris, Remy, and Sophia got speechless and shocked upon seeing the performance.

“Oh crap, we’re doomed…” Sophia swore.

“That’s our top five new students of the year! Give applause again to them!!” Mr. Henderson came back to the stage, he quickly announced “Anyway, one of our top students of the year, Harley, made his audition video became viral on YouTube!”

Harley got into the point “I got signed by Balboa Heights Records!!” Much to most audience cheers, however not for Ally and the gang.

“Really…” Oliver added.

“That’s even worse…” Sophia said.

“Masya Allah…” Edwin said.

At 11 AM, at backstage, Ally, Oliver, and Will finally met Ryan, Harley, Ed, Andrew, and Tahan, as they were asked by Casey to greet them. But Katie, Jordan, Amber, Fearne, Edwin, Chris, Remy, and Sophia had decided to go back to the dorm to rest.

Tahan shouted when she saw Ally “No way! You’re Ally Sanders!”

Ed said “Yeah, she is! I think she’s hot, she’s talented, and she has the complete package.”

Ally greeted “Hi, guys, I’m Ally, this is Will, this is Oliver, we’re going to be your mentors during your first semester.”

Ed said “It’s nice to meet you, Ally Sanders, you’re so hot.”

Ally replied “Thank you.”

“I’m fan of yours, Ally, and coincidentally, we’re both in the same record label.” Harley said.

“Yeah, at least you have heard my album, haven’t you?”

Harley laughed “Well, I wish you luck then.”

“Okay, our first mentoring on Saturday in the music classroom.” Will announced.

“We’re looking forward for it.” Andrew said.

“We got to go.” Ally said before leaving with Will and Oliver.

Harley then said quietly “I’m ready to take Ally down.”
