I groaned scrolling through my emails nothing but junk, as usual. Warped tour was starting in two weeks and I've got no news back from Kevin. Kevin Lyman was my uncle, fortunately he said he would try his best to find a band that needed a merch girl/ photographer. All through out high school I took AP media/ photography classes hoping to even land a week job on Warped. Now that I was 18, I had the chance and honestly I refused to let anyone take that from me. Ever since I was 14 I've been to every Warped. I jumped up scared as my phone began ringing loudly. I looked at the caller ID "resricted". Yeah right, I hate prank calls. I hit declined then went back to the Warped site pulling up the bands.

Black Veil Brides...

Suicide Silence..

A day to remember...

Bring Me The Horizon...

He is we...

Stephan Ryan...

Big Chocolate...

Skrillex...

I jumped again interrupted by my phone again. I grabbed it looking at the caller ID once again, "Restricted" flashed on the screen. I groaned and hit answer waiting for a stupid remark or comment.

"Hello?" I said, as I kicked my feet up on my desk. My shoes blending into the wall. I chuckled to myself.

"Hey! Is this Gewel?" Someone said, several laughs we're heard in the background. The person on the phone telling everyone to hush.

"Depends. May I ask who is calling?" I said rolling my eyes at the question. I heard what sounded like glass break and several high pitched shrieks. I sat there for a moment waiting for a reply. The sounds of laughter and breaking glass disappeared.

"Yeah sorry about that. Uh this is Vic, from Pierce The Veil. I heard from Kevin you were a merch girl looking for a warped job. Unfortunately our girl dropped out due to complications. I was wondering if you'd like to join us on Warped. Theres two weeks until Warped and we need you... badly. You up for the job?" Vic said. My voice caught in my throat. Was this a joke? Was someone screwing with me? I finally spoke up after what felt like. forever.

"Yeah u-uh yes! I'd love too." I said, Vic sighed with relief.

"Thank you. Awesome! Well you live in Cali right? What part?" Vic asked.

"I live in Pomona." I said calmly.

"Alright! We actually only live an hour and a half from Pomona. Did you want to meet up hmm, tomorrow? Since its already pretty late. We can meet up at a diner and just eat and chill. Get to know you better." Vic said, I wanted to scream and shout. Although, I'd wait until we got off the phone to feak out.

"Yeah! That is totally fine with me. About what time?" I asked, my heart still pounding out of my chest.

"About one. I'll text you the details. Thank you so much. By the way there is a Warped band/staff/merch/photographer meeting on June 10th In San Diego. Its important. " Vic said, I grinned nodding.

"Okay! Thank you, I promise I'll do awesome." I said laughing, then hung up. I screamed jumping up and down in place oh my god. Oh my god. This feeling is overwhelming. I didn't know if to cry happily first or call my uncle. So I did both. I dialed in Uncle Kevins number crying, I felt like an idiot but I really didn't care at the moment. It went to voicemail, I hung up glancing at my clock. 5:28pm. Good I still had time to go shopping for a little bit. I quickly grabbed my keys hurrying out the door to my car. I got in driving to the mall near by my house. I parked, and grabbed my wallet going inside the mall. I looked around the mall looking for a nearby store I could shop at.

-two hours later-

I threw all of my bags into my trunck. A few bags from Hot Topic, Tillys, Forever 21, Pac Sun, Wet Seall, and Journeys. I think I was pretty much set for Warped. Hopefully... I pulled my phone out my pocket. Reading the text that popped up.

"Hey Gewel, Its Vic from PTV! So the guys and I decided on Ihop in Pomano at 12pm. Is that work for you?(: Thanks again." I read, I smiled reading the text and turned the car on replying before I started driving.

"Yeah, that will work perfect." I replied, I had Vics number. Me! I hated sounding like a fan girl, but couldn't help it. I got home a few minutes later grabbing my bags going inside. I threw the bags on the couch turning on the TV. I went through all of the bags separating all of the clothes into piles. I turned on my Suicide Silence CD. The fact that I had the chance to be on Warped Tour even just as a merch girl was an amazing opportunity. I sat in my bean bag soon falling asleep.

-the next morning 10:45am-

I smiled streching sitting up and pulled myself out of bed into the bathroom. Today is one of the few days I was happy to actually wake up early. I looked at the alarm clock that sat next to my bed. "10:47-am." I got up going to the restroom getting into the shower, I got out the shower a few minutes later going into my room grabbing clothes from the closet throwing them on the bed. I went back into the bathroom drying off. Towel drying my hair and stood in front of the mirror straightening my hair. I put on a black headband that had a black and white bow on the top of it. I rubbed lotion on my legs and arms squirting myself with perfume. I waked back out the bathroom grabbing my clothes putting them on. I wore blue high waisted floral print shorts, a plain grey tank top, and all blue toms. I checked myself out in the mirror checking for any possible flaws. The shorts were a little short, but I was going to be merch girl in the heat so I guess it didn't matter. I grabbed my cell phone putting it into my back pocket and dug through my desk grabbing my camera bag with my adored Canon 505 camera. I looked back at the mirror, my lip rings didn't exactly match my outfit but that was alright. No big deal... I hope.

I ran downstairs grabbing my keys and headed out the door locking it behind me. I got in my car putting on Asking Alexandria, I really hope I would get the chance to meet them this summer. Now I knew just about anything was possible. I drove singing along to the lyrics, I got to the diner twenty minutes later. 11:45. I smiled and parked getting out of the car heading inside of the Ihop, I sat down in the waiting area hoping Vic, Jaime, Mike, and Tony would all get here soon. I pulled my camera out playing with the settings. I really wanted to capture them on this day. Memories for a scrapbook/ Insatagram.

"Hey! Gewel?" Someone said I looked up and saw no other then Vic Fuentes, along with Mike Fuentes, Jaime Preciado, and Tony Perry. I smiled standing up feeling my heart jump out of my chest.

Hiii!:D Hope you like it so far! I know I do. Actually, I'm surprised I do! Next chapter coming later tonight once I get off of work! Please leave a comment if you have any good ideas! I also need a awesome girls name, any ideas?!

What do you think will happen once Gewel goes on tour? Will she get to meet eveyone she wants too? Will she have a summer fling with anyone? Maybe Gewel will come to realize Warped is her life. Or maybe it'll become too much being PierceTheVeil's only merch person on the entire tour.
