Hey guys, I've been wanting to write a Comic Con story for awhile but sadly they don't have that option. So I had to put it under this category. They also didn't have the option of putting the actors name as a character so I had to put the names as the characters the actors play. I know this is confusing but I really hope this story works out! :/
I awoke minutes before my alarm was due to set off. Great, did I have to wake up? My life sucks right now. My best friends...er...friends are going to Comic Con later this evening and they didn't invite me. They did't even mention it to me until last night. They are so lucky, my parents wouldn't let me go to Comic Con even if it was right across the street. I've heard of Comic Con but have never had the chance to experience it myself. All I know is you get to meet actors and other highly known people. I guess I really don't want to go, I know that I'd end up walking around myself in a crowd of possibly the size of infinity itself. I'm not good in crowds. I moaned and rolled over in my bed, grabbing my phone I realized I had three missed calls from my friend Melissa, one of my friends going to Comic Con. She never calls me more then once, and if I don't answer she ignores it. Why would she call me three times? At 7 o'clock in the morning? I dialed her number, curious as to whats going on.
"Hello?" I heard Melissa's voice and it took a minute for me to reply since I was just half awake. "Hello, are you there?"
"Hey, Melissa. Its Victoria, you called me?" I mumbled the words.
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah, just woke up. Why'd you call me three times?"
"Oh, well I know this is totally last second but Nelly backed out of going to Comic Con so were stuck with one extra ticket." I heard Melissa's reply and my heart started racing.
"Vic, you there?"
"Yeah, sorry. I don't know if I can come I don't do good in cro-"
"I know, I know, your not good in crowds. Do you want to come or not?"
"Mel, I'm not good in crowds alone. My parents would freak, I can't do this." I wanted to go...but my parents would indeed freak.
"You won't be alone? Nathan, Kyle, Kim and I will be there. Vic, the tickets are so expensive, so the fact that we have a FREE one for you might change their minds. Just talk to them kay? Give me a call back, come on it'll be fun!"
"I know what will happen, Mel. You'll fun off with them and I'll be walking around alone."
"I won't lie, I probably will. Vic, theres gonna be so many people there, I'm sure you'll find something awesome! You'll meet FAMOUS people, Vic!"
"Uh, okay fine." We both laughed, "I'll ASK them, but they have already said no twice! So don't expect a change."
"Call me with their answer, chic!" She laughed and hung up.
Aww, now I gotta get outta bed. Hardest thing in the world for me. I rolled out and got ready for my day. I mumbled random stuff as I walked down stairs to see my mum sitting with my dad at the table. They smiled. I guess thats a good thing, they are in a good mood so I better get this over with. I barely managed to make myself a cup of chocolate milk and sat down.
"Good morning." I mumbled.
"Good morning, hun." Mum whispered.
"Why are we whispering?" I whispered back.
"Don't look now, but your father is asleep." I glanced at my dad and he was indeed asleep holding his newspaper. I chuckled. Then turned back to my mum.
"Hey, mum, I have something to ask you. It's big so, uh, bare with me okay?" I spoke softly, she gave me a worried look.
"Honey, if this is about Comic Con, your not going!" She spoke quietly but firmly. I sighed.
"Mum, Mel called and Nelly backed out so they have a free ticket! It's free mum, please?!" She shot me a worried glance as she started the dishes.
"Honey, I don't want you wandering around by yourself with celebrities. It's just creepy."
"Mum, please. This is a once in a lifetime chance!"
"I understand that but, honey, you need to understand how we fe-" she cut off as dad moaned.
"Wha-? Whats going on, dear?" Dad said as he slowly stood and made his way to the sink where we were talking.
"She wants to go to Comic Con. One of her friends backed out and now they have a free ticket."
"Whats Comic Con again?" Dad mumbled. I signed and rolled my eyes, I'll never be allowed to go.
"Dad, it's where you get to meet popular people. Celebrities and people like that. It's a once in a lifetime chance for me, I really wanna go!"
"I'm okay with it." Dad said it and mums face was priceless. I think mine was too by the way dad looked at me. "Whats wrong?"
"Honey, I don't think she should go to it beca-"
"Honey, she is turning seventeen next week! Give her some space to roam!" He spoke to mum and my heart was racing. What if I get to go?! I thought to myself as they talked. I missed most the conversation but all I cared about is what mum and dad said to me at the end.
"Alright, you can go. Under one rule."
"Yeah?! Anything!" I was so happy I started shaking.
"You have to stay with Mel and whoever else is going. Deal?" She crossed her arms.
"Deal, mum! Thank you, thank you, thank you!" I jumped and hugged her so tight she couldn't breathe. I turned to dad and did the same. "Thank you! I'll call her and tell her I'm coming!"
"It's just one night right?" Mum asked.
"Well, we leave tonight and stay at a hotel. Then tomorrow morning it starts and goes all day until around six, then we'll be coming home. So yeah, one night!" I smiled, I was so happy!
"Okay. Go pack before I change my mind, hun." Mum mumbled as she resumed her spot at the table.
"Thanks so much guys! I jumped again and dashed upstairs. My hands shaking so badly when I was trying to dial Mel's number.
"Hello?" Melissa answered and my heart was pounding.
"I CAN GO!" I yelled into the phone.
"Yay! Good for you, chic! So we'll pick you up around four and we'll get to the hotel at around midnight. Cya then!" She hung up quickly but I brushed it off. All I cared about right now was what I was just told.
I get to go to Comic Con.
