I was standing waiting for everyone to stop chatting so that I could begin my song. It was my best friend Tia’s birthday party and she had asked me if I would sing her favourite song for her. As everyone quietened down I began to sing

“One last time

I need to be the one who takes you home

One more time

I promise after that, I’ll let you go”

The whole of the room erupted into cheers and applause. I could see Tia standing in the corner mouthing “Thank you” to me and smiling.

I finished the song and was about to walk over to Tia when someone stopped me in my tracks.

“Excuse me, can I give you my card? I’m a talent agent and I would like to offer you a place in an upcoming singing competition which will be airing on tv.”

I just stood there staring at the agent, like a deer caught in headlights. I didn’t know what to say, it was such a shock.

“I will contact you again with further details.”

“Ok, thank you, thank you so much!”
