I asked my mom what time Jake and his family were coming and she told me at 7pm. It was now 5pm..I HAD NO TIME! I only had hours to get ready. So I went ahead and got in the shower. When I got out, it was only 5:15. I dried, curled, and moussed my hair. By then, it was 5:50. OH NO! I started walking towards my closet when my cell phone started blaring Lil Wayne's verse in Look At Me Now. I looked at the caller ID and it was an unknown number, so I answered. "Hello?" I asked. "Hey, my name is Alli Simpson. I'm calling to speak to Melani Sutton?" The girl had some sort of accent, but I couldn't quite put my finger on it. "This is she." "Well," Alli spoke, "online, you entered a contest to be chosen to be the girl onstage at Cody's concert Friday, correct?" "Uhm, yeah. WHY? Did I win?" I asked eagerly. "Haha. Not quite. Cody pulled out two random names and one of them was yours." "Oh, wow. That's cool." I said, acting cool and calm, but on the inside, I was exploding with joy! "Wow. This went a lot better with you than with the other girl, haha. She started screaming, cryig, and I'm sure she had a heart attack!" Aw. Poor girl. But it was pretty funny. Alli spoke again, "So, if wheather of not you're chosen, my brother will still call you, k?" HOLD UP. "Your brother?" I questioned. "Cody's my brother, silly! I hope you get chosen, 'cos you seem really nice and cool." AWH! "Aw. Thanks, so do you! Thank you!" When I hung up on the phone with Alli, I started yelling into my pillow because I was so happy. I looked at my alarm clock and the time was 6:50, so I picked out my black skinny jeans, my black and red Asking Alexadria! shirt, and my black and silver blocked belt. Yeah, I know, it's not "dressy", but who cares?

I tucked my phone in my pocket, in case Cody called, and started going down the stairs. By the time I reached the last step, the doorbell rang. "Honey? Can you get that? It's the neighbors. Show them to the dining room!" I walked to my front door and found two adults, a lady wearing a beautiful, satin red dress, and a man, wearing a suit. Behind them was Jake, wearing Skinny jeans and some vans with a white shirt, and a burberry-looking scarf. I wasn't gonna lie, he looked FIIIIINE. "Hello Mr. and Mrs. Thrupp. I'm Melani. It's very nice to meet you." I shook both of their hands, and they introduced themselves as "Mary and Burt" I smiled at that as they walked to the dining room. Jake was behind them. "Hey, Jake!" I smiled. "Why hello there Melani. So fancy seeing you again." He said in a funny British accent. "C'mon, you weirdo!" I took hold of his hand and led him into the dining room where his parents and my parents were already settled down. When my mom saw us, her eyes immidiaetly dropped to our entwined hands, I realized, and quickly let go of his hand. "Is there something going on between the two of you?" My mom asked. "Gosh, mom. NO. We're just friends." I looked at Jake, and his smiled dropped into a frown. The only seats available were 2 next to ech other. Jake pulled out my chair for me. HOW SWEET! "Thanks" I smiled at him. Everything was going fine until dessert, because my phone started ringing Lil Wayne once again, which meant it was an unknown number, which ment it could possibly be Alli, or Cody!

"I'm SO sorry, but I really have to take this call." I dimissed myself from the table, and walked into the kitchen and answered my phone, "Hello?" I said. "Hey, is this Melani? This is Cody." OHMYGOSH, I was on the phone with THE Cody Simpson. "Uh, yeah. I'm Melani." "I'm sorry, but you weren't chosen for the contest, but my sister spoke so highly of you, and she wanted someone to hang out with at the mall with while I perform. Do you think you could come?" LORD, THANK YOU! How was this happnening? I immidiately thought about my "get-together" with Jake on Friday..Oh no. What do I tell Cody?
