Alison POV
After a lot of catching up and 20 pounds of Mexican we were full. I looked at my watch 6:13 still had some time to looking at the art in the tents. "I have 140$ to spend! I wanna look at art!" we all gave Rain a curious look "I'm redoing me room again okay, now the theme is Paris! I need something to put on my walls!" I have been saving up for a Gretsch 6128T so wasting my money on something you look at is stupid in my perspective. Everyone stood up and started to walk over to where the art was held. While we walked across the field to the tents full of mini Monets I swear someone called my name. On instinct like how everyone would do I looked around, and when I turned back to my friends that had disappeared. I swore under my breath. They must be somewhere in the art area... I wish I had my phone. It was backstage along with my guitar that was stupid of me. After walking back and forth several times some guy shouted "You lost? Ya you with the brown hair" I walked towards him so the shouting would stop. "Umm... Ya kinda" he looked me up and down. "You were looking for me, am I right?" sarcastically I said "Yes! Yes I was! How could you tell?" he smiled, he had a pretty nice smile. "I just can. I'm Rodrick" that's when I noticed his shirt that said Löded Diper in what looked like chalk."Oh... Your part of Löded Diper! You're performing tonight right?" he looked shocked "Ya, I am! How did you know?" "Your shirt is a giveaway." he chuckled and looked and feet. "I'm Alison, I perform at 7:25, you should come. It will blow your mind." smiling again he said "Sure... You'll be the one on the stage right?" we both laughed then I actually herd my name, Jordan came in sight " Alison! Where the hell did you go, we lost you!" then all my friends saw Rodrick. His expression changed; his cheerful brown eyes and smile that was to die for vanished when he saw them. He clinched his jaw, breathed out of his mouth and said "So your one of them. Have a great day." the last part was coated in sarcasm. Then he walked away, Iz stared him down until he was out if sight. "Oh, that was the creep that cornered Jordan? He didn't seem half bad." they all gave me a sick look. "You don't know him like we do" Jordan said in a very sharp irritated voice "his entire gang is bad... and stuff" was she serious? If you say and stuff after you list reasons for something usually you're lying or trying to make it seem worse. "Look, I'm sorry! Jeez don't get your panties in a wad." Rain followed with a very low voiced response "Mine can't be in a wad because I am commando" the tension in the air suddenly vanished and was replaced with laughter. "Alison! Holy crap! Your performance is at 7:25 right? It's 7:00! We gotta go!" with that Iz ran ahead and we all sprinted after. When I got back stage Anna spotted me. "Where have you been? You're supposed to be on stage in 10 mins! Just get ready I'll deal with you later." I spotted my guitar in the corner along with a mic stand and my sister, Alexa. Alexa, being 2 years older had more practice with the piano than me and insisted perform with me. "Al! I'm performing with you. Get ready!" I fumbled for my guitar pick then stood up and stared at her. Calmly I said "Umm, okay. You ready?" She nodded "Alright! You know what to do." This time no butterflies were in my stomach. The only thing on my mind was that guy, Rodrick. Questions filled my head, would he be standing in the audience? Does he even remember my name? Why am I thinking about this? What if I see him after the show? Does he have a girl friend? Alison! The show! I screamed in my head and came back to realization. 7:20 my guitar was tuned, Alexa seemed content, and I got the thumbs up from the tech guy signaling that the lights and mic were A-Okay. We were about to enter on stage left when I peeked around the curtain. My friends were in the front row, but 4 rows behind them was Rodrick and his gang. Well, this is going to be fun! "Al you're on!" I looked around and saw Anna. I waved then Alexa grabbed my arm and pushed me on stage. I walked to center stage and stood in front of the microphone stand. Alexa smiles and all sat down at the piano. I smiled at my friends in front of me and started counting. "1,2,3,4" I started to play the first cord. When I play I don't really look at the audience, normally I close my eyes and let the music flow. I took a deep breath and out came the word.
Why can't we speak another language, one we all agree on?
Why and when men look outside, do they see houses,
Instead of the fields they grew from?
We are constantly uprooted from them, making us tiresome and fearful,
Can you get up right now? Endeavour to free-fall.
I don't really remember anything past the second verse, I remember smiling at my sister when it was over and looking into the crowed. My friends were clapping as hard as they could while screaming my name and now right behind them was Rodrick, he must have moved. He was clapping! For me! It was kidda slow but I'll take it. He smiled at me and started to shake his head. I brought my hands up to my face and did the mind blowing movement and walked back off stage. Anna was there "Good job girly, Alexa you did well too. You can keep your equipment back here if you like but, make sure you get it back before 10:00. That's when were closed for business." I nodded "I think I'll just put it in my car but thank you." I hugged Alex and Anna, grabbed my phone and headed out. I texted Jordan
(Jordan's text, Allison text)

I walked to the parking lot.
