Ch.1: The Before Party

Adelita's POV

"Everyone up!", my mum yelled as she threw open my door and flipped on the light, "We have two hours before we have to leave, so hurry up and get ready."

We all groaned and covered our eyes. Then Leigh, who always has the most energy no matter what time of day, bounced out of bed yelling, "I call the main bathroom first!" and skipped down the hall.

"Alright, who wants my sister's bathroom?" I said, rubbing my eyes.

"I do!" Nicole ran off, and then came back, "Forgot my bag." We all rolled our eyes.

"I'll take and your parents bathroom," Dahlia said.

"And I'll take the downstairs one," Lena gathered her stuff.

"Fine, but don't take too long!" I yelled out to all of them. I sulked to my own bathroom, turned on the hot water, and got into the shower. The water felt good and help me wake up.

After I was done with the shower, I got dressed and started trying to dry my hair that takes in every drop of moisture it can. When it was dry I pulled it up into a simple bun. I headed into my room to find Leigh already sitting on my bed putting her last minute items in her suitcase. She was wearing her tennis outfit; sweatpants that say tennis and her last name down the leg, her black and pink t shirt and her grey sweatshirt was on the bed.

"You look refreshed," she said jumping off the bed to give me hug. Then Nicole came in with still wet hair and in purple sweatpants and a black sweatshirt.

"Can I go back to bed?" she whined as she fell on my bed.

"No. We have to be out the door in an hour if we want to get to the airport on time," I said pitting my toiletries in my suitcase. "So hurry up and dry your hair!" I pushed her toward my bathroom.

Lena came in dressed in jeans and a green ridding sweatshirt from her stables. Dahlia came right after her in jeans, a black camisole, a white lace t-shirt, and a grey hoodie. I was wearing black yoga pants a blue v- neck t- shirt, and a purple DC hoodie.

"All right, everyone ready?" my mum said after we all came downstairs.

"Yup. Can we stop and get breakfast on the way to the airport?" I asked dragging my suitcase to the door.

She nodded and we all cheered. Then we all got in the car and were off towards the best week of our lives.

Soon after we were on the plane, waiting for take off. "I'm sooooo excited!" Leigh stage whispered.

We all laughed and agreed with her.

The flight attendant announced it was time for take off and we all sat back and buckled in. As soon as we were off the ground Leigh and I unbuckled and turned around to talk to Lena and Dahlia while Nicole and my mum decided to try to go to sleep.

When we got o the California airport we were all shaking with excitement. We got off the plane and went to get our luggage while my mum went to go get a rental car. We met up right outside the doors and then she led us to a blood red SUV that was brand new. We put our bags in the back, got in, and went to the hotel.

Our hotel room was more like a really expensive apartment than hotel room. It had two bedrooms, a kitchenette, a pull out couch, a flat screen TV in each room, and two full bathrooms. "OK girls. Go do your hair and get changed. The pre-party is in three hours," my mum said as she sat on the couch with her book.

When we were all ready we met in the living room, where my mum looked us over. Dahlia was wearing a blue, strapless dress that came to just above her knees, and her hair was curled. Lena was wearing and black skin tight dress that was the shortest I'd ever seen her wear even though it came to her knees, she had also curled her strawberry-blonde hair. Nicole was wearing a deep purple knee length dress that went perfectly with her swept to the side, dark brown hair. Leigh was wearing a bright green, sleeveless dress that came to her thigh, and her hair was straightened. I was wearing a strapless mini-dress that started out orange but got darker till it was a blood red at the bottom. I had my hair in a spiral that has curls coming down off it.

"Well, you girls look lovely!" My mum said examining us, "Now it's time for pictures hen we'll leave."

We all groaned, my mum was notorious for taking a million pictures for just something small, let alone a once in a lifetime opportunity like this was. But we all lined up like the good, obedient girls we were and got our picture taken five million different ways, and then we left.

We were some of the last people; we arrived just before the first band got on stage. "We better stay together, or at least till we start meeting other people. Sound good?" I asked, turning around to face them.

I got a chorus of agreements then turned and started making my way through the crowd toward the stage. I was hoping they were following me. When we got the stage the band, My Chemical Romance, was already playing their third song.

After My Chemical Romance was done I was already out of breath from dancing. "And now The Wanted!" the mc yelled into the microphone. We all screamed.

"I'll be right back, I have to go cool down," I screamed through the crowd. Leigh, Lena, Nicole, and Dahlia all nodded and kept singing along and dancing. I made my way through the crowd to the bathroom.

When I came back out they were singing the end of Behind Bars and moving on to their new one, Chasing The Sun. I found my way back to my friends and we all started dancing and singing. When that song was over so was their set.

"We might get a chance to meet them, you know," I said as we went to go get something to drink.

"I know! It's amazing. I bet their as nice as they are cute!" Lena laughed.

We all got water then went to sit at a table to take a break. I was watching the crowd when I heard Nicole gasp. I turned quickly around to see Max, Nathan, Jay, Tom, and Siva, a.k.a. The Wanted, waling toward our table.

"Hello ladies," Tom said in his bold, Bolton accent. "Would any of you care to dance?"

"I would!" Dahlia screamed as she jumped up.

"How about you, little lady?" Max asked Leigh leaning over the back of her chair.

"Of course," she got up and they went up with locked arms.

"May I?" Jay asked Lena with a bow. She laughed and followed him to the dance floor.

"You seem bored so let's go!" Siva said to Nicole. She nodded and smiled.

After they all left Nathan looked to his feet and said, "I guess that leaves you and me."

"I guess so."

"Would you like to dance?" he sounded as though he was unsure of himself.

"Why not," I said then crossed to the dance floor with Nathan right next to me.

Dancing with Nathan was like a dream till he started getting annoying. "Want to come back to may room tonight after the party?" he breathed down my neck,

"Excuse me?" I asked abruptly turning around. "I just met you. I'm not like some of the other girls you hang out with who just want to get in your pants!" I yelled, jabbing my finger into his chest.

"You're sure dressed like one! And you sure dance like a slut!" he yelled back. "You know what you're just a fake! Just a big poser!"

"Me a poser, that's funny! I'm not the one who pretended to be a shy guy and the asked me to go to his room!" I screamed. "That's it I'm going! Goodbye!" I stomped on his toe and spun on my heel making a dramatic exit.

I found Lena, Nicole, Dahlia, Leigh, Max, Jay, Tom, and Siva all dancing in a group at the center of the dance floor. "Excuse me everyone but we need to leave." I grabbed the girls by the arm and dragged them out the door.

"What was that about!?" Dahlia asked/screamed.

"Trust me if they're anything like Nathan is then you don't want to get involved with them." I shouted into the night.

"What happened?" Nicole asked in a comforting voice. She put a hand on my shoulder that helped me slow my pace down.

"I'll tell you later. Just right now I want to forget what happened and go back to our suite." We made our way back to the car where my mum was waiting.

When we were in the car my text tone went off so I checked it. It was from an unknown number and it read:

I was a jerk forgive me? :/

Nathan. How did he get my number? I must have given it to him while we were dancing, before I found out what a perv he was.

I texted back Never. and turned my phone off. I was certain of one thing: I will never fall for another celebrity because they are all jerks.
