Angel:

I shut the door to my room and mentally screamed. I had swarms of butterflies tumbling threw my stomach. Oh God! I'm going on a date this weekend!! A date!!! A real date, with a cute guy!!! I need to tell someone. I grabbed my phone and dialed Mimi's number. It rang a couple times before I heard her voice.

"Hello?"

"Chica, I have news!!!" I practically yelled into the phone as I jumped on the bed.

"What?"

"Collins asked me out on a date!"

"What?!" She repeated louder with a squeal at the end "i knew he liked you but damn, I thought he wouldn't have the guts."

I giggled as she finished her sentence. "How'd you know he liked me?"

"Please, The moment he saw me hug you, he practically was imagining me dying from jealousy. Also he stares at you like you're the greatest thing on earth." She giggled on the phone before she added "which you are by the way."

"Uh hu, he probably wasn't as bad as that guy Roger, he looked really jealous!" I said as I played with the edge of my bed covers. "What happened to you guys after you went to go talk to him?"

"Well we aren't official or anything but... he said he liked me!" I let out a scream at the end of her sentence.

"I knew it!" I said "I was thinking just that as I saw you guys walk out of the lunch room." I added excitedly. I glanced up at the clock and jumped out of my bed. I had to go to work.

"Well you do have great intuition" She said as I looked through my closet.

"Honey I don't need intuition to tell that you guys, were in love. You two are just that obvious."

Pulling out a short dress and matching shoes, I stuffed it in my bag. Her laugh echoed through the phone and I smiled on my side. "I miss talking to you Angel."

I paused just after a threw my makeup kit into my duffel bag. "Chica I missed you to" their was a long pause before I asked "why don't we do a sleep over this weekend after my date so I can tell you everything afterwards?"

"That's a great idea!" She said, perking up.

"Great honey, so it's settled. Saturday night?"

"Saturday night." She confirmed.

"Okay good, I have to go though. I'm going to work."

"Oh break a leg!" She said giggling and I joined in with one of my own.

"Bye"

"Bye" She said just before I hung up. I placed my phone in my back pocket and grabbed my bag. Turning the door, I walked down the hallway till I met the stairs. I saw my mom staring at me from the corner of my eye and stared back at her. She scoffed once she realized I was heading to work, then turned to the opposite direction. Just when she looked away, I rolled my eyes and stuck my tongue at her annoying behavior. Once i sashayed all the way outside, I slammed the door closed, to get my point across.

Walking to places always gave me a chance to think. To clear my head. Usually I used this time to day dream but today, all I could think of was Collins, wow that sounded cheesy. But he IS perfect. His hair his perfect, his eyes are perfect, his body is perfect, his voice too! Just his general perfectness.

Once I got to the performance hall, I walked in and glanced around. Booths lined the walls with tables and chairs surrounding the area, leaving space for a stage with only two closed curtains on it. One person was stranded in the middle of the chaos, cleaning. Once I made eye contact with him, I smiled, then made my way past a hall way with doors that led to the kitchen, bathrooms, to a dressing room. Inside, men where putting on there clothes and talking all at once. Saying it was loud was an understatement but I loved it anyway.

"HEYYY" I screamed at everyone which they replied with their own screams back. I giggled and made my way to the farthest corner so I could put on my makeup. Clothes where randomly placed on the floor along with bobby pins and lost makeup items. Once I got to my corner, I placed my kit on the table and started to apply foundation. (AN: I don't know the order of makeup things so if I'm wrong, sorry!) I loved makeup, honestly, it was my life. A lot of things are my life but still. It's nice though, being with a bunch of people that understand the need of clothes and makeup, that understand me, I thought, even if I was the youngest one here. Technically What I told Mimi is a lie, I only perform if someone is sick or has an emergency but still, I learned a lot just being here. Like makeup tips and the guys treat me like I'm one of them, which is nice. The only thing that sucks is the pay, but I earn enough after I drum a little on the street.

I looked at my self in the mirror and felt a sense of pride at how good my makeup was.

"Ohhh you look amazing!!!" On of the guys said with his hand flying to his o shaped mouth, fanning it. "Gurl, you have to show me how to do that!" I giggled at his response and grabbed my red dress and long red boots to wear. (AN: Yes it's the outfit Lola wears in kinky boots but I couldn't resist (and if you haven't listened or seen kinky boots, well... it's amazing and I highly suggest it))

"Awww thanks honey" I replayed to her.

"No seriously though, I need to learn how to do that." I giggled and replied with an anytime.

"It's a shame you're not going on tonight when you look like that, you would be the star of the show." She added with a sigh and a dream like look on her face. I turned around a shed her a small smile.

"Yeah but it's okay, I'll have other good makeup days." She was about to add something when one of the managers yelled a places and everyone started to file out except for me. And now, I waited.

~•~•~•(break)•~•~•~

It was dark outside, no lights except for a couple flickering street lamps. Puddles appeared on the ground randomly from the rain from this mourning. I walked on the sidewalk, with my duffel bag and a face still wearing the make up from today. I didn't want to take it off just yet but I wished I did when I saw two buff guys on the street corner.

I straightened my back and tried to walk faster. They pointed at me and shared a look. A bad feeling appeared in my stomach and I felt like throwing up. They started to walk towards me and I tried to ignore them. God Angel, I thought to myself, I'm so stupid. The two guys were so close now, but I keeped walking with my head held high.

They stopped in front of me, forcing me to stop walking and I persed my lips. They looked me up and down, staring at me like I was an animal trapped at the zoo.

"Fag" one of them whispered just before he raised his fist and I felt a punch to the jaw.

AN: okay so I hoped you enjoyed that chapter. I feel good about this one except I think I keep on portraying Angels character wrong and the other guys. Anyway, again I recommend kinky boots and I also do not own the characters or anything just the plot. Thank you and please review and like!! I love hearing the feedback!!!
