The first show // Bruce Dickinson

1. On our way

I was at home getting ready to go. I had my "Number of the beast" t-shirt on me and a pair of wide blue jeans. It was a simple look, yet perfect for a show. I never had the chance to go on their "Beast on the road" tour but I had been lucky enough to have bought the tee afterwards. I hadn't gone to their "World piece tour" either. But now, It was finally time for my first Iron Maiden show.

I sat myself down at my makeup table getting ready. Having "The number of the beast" album in the background on my vinyl player. I looked at myself in the mirror after fixing my makeup.
Jeez, I was really going to see Maiden, wasn't I?

I thought about seeing Bruce. It made me get butterflies in my stomach. Not that he would see me, but just getting a glimpse of him and hear them live was unbelievable. I started to curl my brown hair, I got volume, just as I wanted it to.
I took my black jacket and keys and of I went.

...

I was going to meet Jennifer outside the arena. I stood and waited at the parking lot beside my red car, stamping my foot at the ground from all the energy I had in me and looked around. There were a bunch of metalheads which were mostly teenagers. People were still coming and parked their cars and others were waiting on their friends with beers in their hands.
After a while Jennifer finally came.

-BLOODY, what took so long! I said and came up to hug her. She had also fixed herself. Her blond hair was huge and she had a lot of makeup on her, especially blush. She wasn't much of a Maiden fan. She liked Bon Jovi for the most part, but she was kind enough to go with me so I didn't have to go alone. We were close friends and had been since years back.

-Sorry Nicole that I'm late, It was a bit struggling getting here with the bus, she said looking a bit gutted.
-But I'm here now! Let's go, ready? She said and looked at me excited.
-I've been ready since years ago! I said and jumped up and down, she started laughing at me.
-Hey, are you ready to see Bruce...? She said knowing how much of a crush I had on him as she winked at me.
-You bet I am! I said laughing while winking an eye to her jokingly.
