"What should we do now?" everyone look tense and irritable.I sigh heavily."Cmon guys.Lets do our best,"Leah said with a bright smile on her face.How can she so calm in this situation?"Leah,can u sing Efies part?" Leah silent for a while,shes look at every members and others just nodding their heads."Ok,now lets practice once more.Theres 15 minutes left before our turn," The backstage is full with the competitors,everyone busy practicing their song.I can feel the tense energy in this room.My heart pumping hard in my chest and i have butterflies in my stomach when the band before us went to the stage.Of course im nervous after long time not performing infront the crowd.Wer going to perform next!We all get ready at the stage stairs.Wow,im sure they r our rival.They so good,the crowd went crazy! Right before we went up to the stage,"R u guys goin to perform without me?" Efie!We all running toward her.Leah so happy seeing Efie,shes jumping up and down.I hug her,"Thank u for coming,nose breaker,"
We went up to the stage.hah~after long time,once again im on the stage.I look straight to the judges eyes and knock the microphone "1.2.3.4" the crowd is cheering.I can feel the adrenalin rush inside my body.
We went down to the back stage,"Good job guys," im so satisfied with our performance.I look back to Efie,there r blood out from her nose."Efie,ur nose.Its bleeding." i tilt her head up to stop the bleeding.Everyone besiege her.Then an unknown man near us.He take the bloody cloth from my hand and lead Efie out to the treatment room.I in shock.Who is he?Wheres he going to take her?Is she going to be fine?

"Good job guys,"Mika said to us.Shes look satisfied.Everyone seem happy.I want to perform once again,i thought.Plus the adranelin still flowing in my body.I feel warm fluid flow out from my broken nose."Efie,ur nose.Its bleeding." she tilt my head up to stop the bleeding.I saw everybody besiege me,i feel embarrassed.Some of them was whispering,they talking trash maybe.Then a man,from other band near us.He take the bloody cloth from Mikas hand and lead me out from the crowd."Where r we going?"i ask."Your nose need a treatment," "Ouch ouch~I can walk by my own," i pull my arm from his grab.He hold it to tight,it will leave a blueblack bruise tomorrow morning if i dont take away my small arm."Huh.sorry.By the im Alex," his put his broad smile on his white innonce face.Oh my,hes so cute.I can feel my heart beat stronger than usually.I replied,"Efie." I sit on a chair."What happen to your nose?"he ask while his hand wiping the blood stains on my nose."Ahh,i broke it," he laugh.Huh?How dare he laugh to me? "Cute thoe.Tell me how its happened?" "No.Its not your problem," he still laughing and its make me mad.I continued "Im not a joke.So stop laughing," "Ok ok ok.Im sorry.So,tell me," "I tripped.And i slam my my face on the staircase," he laughing again but this time more louder."Kyaa!Its not funny," i look down to hid my angry face."Sorry sorry.Hey look here."He put my face in his cold palms.I closed my eyes,i cant look at his evil face."U still bleeding," he take his body away from me and open a cabinet door.Hes looking for something."Are u a paramedic?" hes still comb the cabinet.What is he looking for? "Na'ah.im ur rival,dont u know?You and ur friend quite impressive," Im blow off with his word.Then how could he know where is the medical room?He continued his word after seeing im a bit in shock,"Ohh this club belong to my brother.Keep ur head upward or the blood will gushing out from your nose," he read my mind.He sit infront me with a pack of cotton ball in his big hand.He put the cotton ball into my nose."Kyaa.Ur nose too small.Its didnt fit it," I rolled my eyes."Wer done.But u should go for cheakup afterward," he help me stand on my feet.Hes a gentleman.I thank him for helping me.I steps to the door,"Efie!" he called.I stop and look back."Can i have ur number?" i sigh.I shook and take a step."U owe me Efie." i turn my head back and make an annoyed face.What?His red lips smilling.Oh my god,my heart beating stronger."Mine?nope.But can u give me yours.I'll call u," i give him my black Sony Ericsson.Hes press down his number and give it back to me."But..will u call me?" my steps stop and i replied,"I owe u right?" once again his eyes and lips smilling.How cute!I walk out from the room and catch my friends.

"Poor Efie.I hope nothing worst happen to her," SuA looks worry,maybe she also have the same thought.I walk to Leah and Qie,SuA follow behind me.Wer sit together while waiting the competiton result.The other lax talking,my eyes roam in the room.Im observing other bands.They all good,im not sure wer going to win tonight.I dont have any confident about it.An hour later,the MC already have the result on his hand.I can see everybody is impatient to know the winner and some of they look palpitate.The MC call all the competitor went to the stage.My body shivering.Wer holding our hands.The stage is crowded with our rival.Im squeeze my thin body into the crowd.Then Efie join us a bit late with big white cotton ball inside her small nose. "I know everyone is impatient to know the winner right?"he open the brown envelope.Everyone was crossing their finger."Third place goes to.... The Kanaya!" "And now im going to announce the second place.Second place goes to....the youngest competitor,Shinjuya Boys!" oh God~i dont think we can win tonight.Im set my hand free from Leah and Qie. "Now!The winner of The Battle Band 2009 goes to.....Drum plaese," everyone make drum sound even me.The anxiousity is in the air."Gwanju High!" the band that perform before us.As i said,wer didnt win.I smile to others.They look a bit sad,i can tell that by loooking in their eyes."Its ok.Wer not taking part for win right.Just for fun and for Yul.Plus this is our first."They laugh."Yeah our first with new band!" we walk out from the stage.We take our belonging and ready to get home.On our ways out through the exit door,somebody is pating my shoulder,i look back,"Excuse me.Are u girls from Myeondong Girls High right?" Qie answer,"Yup." "Your performance catch my eyes.The crowd goes wild.Are u a amatur band?" once again Qie answer the woman question,"Yup.But we used to perform at the cafes around town not long time ago," "Ohh.Can i have you guys as a performer at my wedding next week?" Next week?Our eyes meet each other.Shes continued, "Dont worry.I'll pay you." the girls deaden.I pull the girls aside,"next week?so?what r u guys think?" i ask.Once again they look each other.They nodding.I back face toward the bride-to-be."Lets do this," shes thanks us and give her name card before leaving us."We maybe doesnt have a trophy in our hand,but we back on what we used to like do."
