"Really? I think he is looking at that girl next to me". Just then I looked up and saw him
wink at me. After about 5 minutes, Nikole and I, were starting to get into the feel of the
music. Benji walked to our side of the stage, all the fans were reaching out, including me
and Nikole, and Benji touched our hands. I was freakin out, but on the inside.

Now don't get me wrong, I know he is a normal guy, but I have never been that close to a
celebrity before. Well except, for Chris Trousdale, but who is he? We were so ecstatic to go
and meet the guys after the show. They played a total of 7 songs: "Girls and Boys", "The
Anthem", "Riot Girl", "My Bloody Valentine", "Hold On", "Lifestyles of the Rich and
Famous", and "The Young and the Hopeless".

After they ended the show with "The Young and the Hopeless", they thanked everyone for
coming out and announced they would be having an in-store autograph signing the next
day @ FYE. Fans quickly began to clear the floor. Most of them I am guessing went outside
and waited by their tour bus.

Me and Laura, we went to the side of the club where Sam told us to meet her. We waited
around for 5 minutes and she didn't come.

"Ugh, Laura, where is Sam?", Nikole huffed. I shrugged. Sam told us she would get us
backstage to meet the guys. In the middle of our moping, someone tapped me on the
shoulder. I turned around only to find myself facing Benji.

"Hi", I replied. We exchanged glances.

"Are you Laura?", he questioned. I nodded. He explained that Sam had him come out there
and get us, so we could meet the other guys. We walked backstage behind Benji.

"Hey chicks!", I heard Sam yell. We looked around and saw her sitting on a couch, looking
rather comfortable with Joel. Sam introduced us to the band. "Guys, I want you to meet
my two good friends, Laura and Nikole. Girls, these are the guys. Paul, Billy, Joel and
Benji, she said pointing each guy out.

We hung with the guys for about an hour, and then their manager came backstage and
said they needed to get on the bus, and check into a hotel. The guys said their goodbye's
to us and headed out the back door.

"So, what do you guys think about them?", she questioned.

"I like Joel", Nikole said and laughed. "He is a really good singer".

"I like Benji. He is really cute. And he plays the guitar well", I added.

"Benji winked at Laura during "Girls and Boys", Nikole yelled.

"Oooh, is there something goin on?", Sam hinted.

"No, but I do like him".

"Good. Then you would be happy to know that he likes you too", she winked.
