Later that day the phone rang. My mom wasn't at home so I had to answer it.
"Hello?" I said broadly.
"Mary? It's me, Riley!" she answered. Riley was some kind of best friend to me. We hung out a lot and we had the same taste of music, movies and books.
"Oh, hey Riley! How are you?" I asked. Actually I looked out for a quite long conversation. We talked very long. Every day.
"I'm fine thanks. What about you?"
"My mom's not at home so… I run through every single room without wearing anything." Riley chuckled.
"But I didn't want to talk to you so long… I actually wanted to know if I can go over to your house… I got a surprise for you and I know you'll love it."
"Okay… I'll get some clothes. Bye."
About 30 minutes later I opened the door and Riley came in. A large grin was plastered into her face.
"What's up?" I asked and went to the living room where I fell onto the couch.
"You won't believe it." Riley murmured. Her smile was getting even more beamy.
"I could if you told me. So do it." I answered and sat up. But instead of saying anything Riley was quiet and waited for something. Oh… I should play the game. Right.
"So… What's the surprise you wanted to show me?" I wanted to know. Honestly, I tried not to sound that annoyed.
"Close your eyes." she demanded. I rolled my eyes but finally closed them though I didn't know if she would just take it out or kill me with a sharp knife.
"You can open them up again."
And then I saw one of the most beautiful things I ever saw in my entire life.
Two backstage tickets for All Time Low. I knew they were playing here but I couldn't get any tickets even though Riley's Dad had a big influence on the organizers. Now I knew why she just giggled when I asked her to beg him for some tickets.
"Oh my fucking god!" I screamed. "Oh my fucking Christ!"
"But you don't even know the best thing." Riley grinned and gave me one of the tickets.
"What could be better?" I asked dreamily. I really tried but I couldn't stop smiling somehow.
"We'll meet them."
"All of them?" Doubtfully I raised an eyebrow. I knew Alex was her favorite. Maybe we would only meet him.
"All of them." Riley nodded to back up her words.
"Whoa!" I yelled, stood up and began to run through the whole house. "I will meet All Time Low!" I couldn't stop screaming. Okay, I agree… I didn't even want to.
I was so lost in being happy and running around that I didn't even realize my mom came in.
"I'm gonna meet All Time Low!" I screamed and put my arms around her. We danced a few seconds 'til I continued jumping up and down.
"You know how sexy you are when you're dancing?" Jerry asked my mom pretty mutedly but loud enough for me to hear it.
"Put your self together and get control over your twisted mind, dude!" I exclaimed and grinned at them.
"Mary…" my mom said reprehensively but I just shrugged my shoulders. "Sorry" I answered. "All Time Low!"
