Hey :) i'm back with a new story! I'm really excited for this one and I hope that you all enjoy it and leave me a review :)
Rows of photos from magazines lined the walls. Every inch of wall space was covered with the same face, over and over again. Written across the mirror was the name of the person on the walls. The bed was covered with potential outfits: sparkly, shiny and outfits of those sorts, glitzy. The double door closets were open, revealing a 15-year-old brunette hurriedly sorting through piles of clothes. The figure slumped before standing upright, revealing that the girl was roughly 5 feet and 3 inches. She walked to the bed which was facing the closet. She surveyed the outfits on the bed before groaning and tugging at her hair. Suddenly the door next to the closet burst open and a brunette ran in.
"May!" the girl screamed. She placed her hands on her knees and panted heavily. May jumped at the sudden outburst and covered her eyes. "You need to get ready," the girl finally looked up.
"I'm trying, really! But I can't decide on an outfit," May pouted before glancing at the bed again. The other girl walked around her bed, absorbing each outfit. May watched as her friend walked around the bed.
Her mid-back long, brown sugar colored hair swayed behind her. Her sunkissed brown highlights shone with the light from the last bits of sunshine coming in through the two windows on the wall perpendicular to the closet. Her hair was straight but ended in large curls towards the bottom. The black lace, high-waisted mini skirt which ended mid-thigh swayed behind her and her grey tank top accented it properly. Around her neck was a red, 3D heart necklace and in her hair, pulling back her bangs, was a bright red bow. Her black heels clicked as she walked on the hardwood flooring.
"This one," the girl pointed at a red tank top paired with a metallic, high-waisted skirt. A simple gold heart necklace corresponded with the gold flats.
May walked over and bit her lip, "Are you sure?"
"I'm positive! I am the fashionable one out of us two; aren't I?" she grinned in triumph.
"Whatever you need to tell yourself to get to sleep at night," May giggled before grabbing the outfit and getting dressed.
"Now what are we going to do about your hair," the girl placed her hand on her chin and held the elbow in her other.
"What's wrong with my hair?" May scoffed.
"It's just," she paused, thinking of a word, "ugh." She added, "No offense."
"Offense taken," May countered while pulling on her gold flats. She walked over to the mirror and stared at her reflection. She didn't look bad; she was wearing a little makeup and her hair was up in a ponytail. The other brunette walked behind her and shrugged.
"It's gonna have to do. We're going to be late if we don't leave now!" the girl remarked before tugging at her friend's arm. Fortunately, May was able to grab her gold purse before being pulled out. May was dragged down the stairs and out the door. Her arm was finally let go of and May sighed, rubbing her arm.
"Geez, Joy. Such a tight grip for such a small person." It was true. Joy was only 5 feet and even in her heels, May towered over her by just an inch.
"Shut up, May! And get in the car!" she glowered. She hated when people commented on her height. May was practically shoved in and was soon pushed over by Joy.
"You got the tickets?" May excitedly asked while the car started and Joy's dad began to drive off.
"Of course!" Joy fished around in her gold Chanel purse until finally retrieving a pair of green tickets. She spread them with her fingers and smirked.
May squealed, "I can't believe we're finally going!" She looked at her cell phone and read the time: 5:45pm.
"Geez, May. You're a half a year older than me and you act like you're five," Joy remarked.
May brushed it off and grinned, "We have great seats and just…" May was at a loss for words.
"I know. I get it," Joy mimicked May's grin. "But you know, if one of those fangirls goes insane you know I'm going to cuss them out." May rolled her eyes at her friend's rant.
"I would love to see that," May pulled her iPod touch out of her purse and plugged it into the stereo.
"Oh! Oh! I want to pick the song! Let's listen to—"Joy squealed before getting cut off by May.
"No, we are going to listen to plenty of that music later. So how about this," May selected a song and leaned back into her seat.
You were in college working part time, waiting tables
Left a small town, never looked back
I was a flight risk with a fear of falling
Wondering why we bother with love if it never lasts
"I love this song!" Joy shouted, making her dad flinch. "Sorry, daddy." Her dad smiled back gently before reverting his eyes to the road.
"This is just unbelievable," May's eyes floated to the ceiling as she squealed.
"Okay, girls, I'm going to drop you off here. Call me later about pick up," Joy's dad ordered before they hopped out and called out.
"Yes, Daddy," Joy rolled her eyes.
"Bye!" May and Joy chorused while waving. He drove away and the two girls looked at the front of the arena in awe. Crowds of people were hurredly lining up in front of the doors and security areas lined the streets, directing traffic.
May and Joy looked at each other and squealed in excitement. They grabbed each other's hands and quickly ran across the busy road before landing in front the arena. Groups of girls, all ages, walked around them; they were dressed up in makeup and tee-shirts with the same face on them.
Joy stated, "Let's get in line before we get locked out." May nodded and the two stood in line. Once they arrived inside they gasped at the beauty of the arena. It was clean and covered in glass. The glass let in the natural light which made the arena seem to glow. They ran up the staircase and looked around in awe at the insanity of the place. There were vendors all over, selling novelty items: tee-shirts, bracelets, photo books, CDs, and plenty more.
May squealed as she ran over to one of the booths and began observing the items with starry eyes. Joy rolled her eyes and grabbed her friend's arm.
"Come on! Let's get our seats and then we can buy stuff after it, okay?" Joy didn't wait for an answer and proceeded to pull her friend toward an entrance. They walked through the black curtain and gasped at the sight of the arena: seats high to the ceiling, a mega-screen behind the stage on the wall, a square full of screens hanging from the ceiling. They looked around in awe and wonder before being interrupted by a security guard.
"Tickets, please?" the lady demanded. Joy was started and began to rummage through her purse. She found them and pulled them out. The lady eyed them before directing them to their seats. They were in row L, seats 29 and 30. They were great; not too far up, not on the floor, but in the middle. They could see the stage perfectly and their cameras could zoom to see everything. They quickly sat down and just stared at the stadium.
A familiar tune began to play and May looked up at one of the screens on the hanging box and stared. The chorus of one the music videos was playing and the crowd erupted into screams, squeals and yells. May was ecstatic and couldn't help but scream as well. It may not have been the real thing but it sure made the whole situation more real, more alive. A DJ came out onto the stage and began to play popular hits and the crowd was on their feet in seconds and singing along, off-key of course. He finally introduced the opening act: a young girl with wild black curly hair who sang angsty songs with a catchy beat. The crowd was loving it. She then went on to introduce the next opening act: another mid-teenage girl who sang about love with electronic music. She bowed and introduced the next act: a Jamaican singer who sang to songs with beats to get your heart pounding.
Finally with the crowd pumped and their adrenaline rushing, the DJ came out and got the crowd even more excited. As he walked out a timer kicked in on the screens. Ten minutes 'till showtime. Joy left momentarily to buy water and when she returned she plopped down in the seat and sighed.
"Outrageous! Four dollars for a bottle of water!" Joy vented while May listened intently. They stared at the group of girls next to them. May rolled her eyes while Joy glared.
"Those girls as such posers," Joy glared harshly.
"What? Why?" May didn't want to be mean.
"They didn't know the opening act songs. How can you not? They were popular songs like 'Solo' and 'Beautiful Girls'!" Joy exclaimed, throwing her hands up for exaggeration. May rolled her eyes again. "And, they freaking tried to spell out 'O.M.G'. So elementary school!"
"Joy, can't you be nice for one day? I mean it is my birthday after all," May pleaded.
"Fine," Joy grimanced, "but only because it's your birthday!" Joy couldn't help but shutter at the sight of those girls. They were blond with hair that had been straightened. They wore short shorts that obviously didn't fit well and to top it off, white tank tops that were written on. It wouldn't have been that bad except for the fact that they did not have the chest to fill them out.
All around May and Joy they heard screams occur when they looked at the clock; 1 minute left. They looked at each other and pulled out their cameras. They counted down the final seconds:
"10" The adrenaline was beginning to flow through their veins.
"9" The crowd was on their feet.
"8" Screams filled the whole arena.
"7" The lights began to dim slightly.
"6" The screams got louder if even possible.
"5" Their hearts began to pump even faster.
"4" Grins spread on everyone's faces.
"3"
"2"
"1!" The music started and the crowd burst into even louder screams. Fog filled the arena, laser lights spun, and strobe lights flickered.
The fog on the stage cleared and revealed a gorgeous teenager, 16 years old. Dressed in white pants, a white shirt and vest, a navy hood peeking out from the back, and navy super sneakers. He flipped his hair and the crowd got even louder if that was possible. He sang and on the large screen his eyes scanned the crowd. Joy screamed her heart out while May remained surprisingly silent; she stared at the screen for a few more seconds before grinning and unleashing her inner fan girl.
I hope that you at least somewhat enjoyed it. This story will probably only be updated once a month because of school stuff.
So leave me a review, please? Special previews of next chapter for those that do! :)
