I know my family doesn’t totally love these plans. If they like me in person, they might sign me to a record contract and make my first album. BPG’s representatives heard me sing on my website and they listened to my self-made demos. I have an audition with BPG Artists-a decent record label. A week ago, I graduated from high school. I know I have a long way to go before I reach diva status, but I have a shot. It’s also my one weekly chance to sing for an audience, which happens to be my favorite thing in the world to do. It’s my first step to becoming Alix Monroe, the next American pop diva. In fact, I only work there because once a week I get to take the stage for forty-five minutes and sing for the evening crowd. I have a singing gig in less than an hour at the café where I work.
I power off my keyboard and pack it into its carrying case. But even though I’m pretending now, I know that I really will be a star one day. Those thousands of people are just a sound effect from a computer program. I’m in my bedroom, playing keyboard and singing my heart out. Out of nowhere, a drum beat picks up, then bass, then I start to sing and the crowd goes absolutely mad. AL-IX! AL-IX! AL-IX! My hair is big and curly and dyed hot pink to match my vintage dress.
Below me, thousands of people chant my name.
