Chasing the Sun

ten

I walked into my closet and decided to slip into something a little nicer. I guess my opinion of nice is different, I picked up my black jeans and a flannel with a teeshirt. I grabbed my vans and waited for Derek to text me. In the mean time I started my list.

1. Sneak into a concert.

Why not write it down? It seems like a huge accomplishment at the moment. Right then Derek barged into my room clapping.

"Lets goooooo!" He said in a white girls voice.

"You scared the hell out of me."

"Christ, everything scares you." he laughed.

I grabbed my Nikon and we left my room. I waved at my dad and brothers goodbye and walked out of the house. I didnt know where we were going or whose concert it was.

"Whose concert are we going to?"

"The Bombay Bicycle Club."

"Stop messing with me, are you for real?"

"Im dead serious, youre welcome....You know I give the best birthday presents."

-----------------

Theres a lot of people here. Teenagers and 20 year olds all over the place in their trucks.

"So how are we going to do this?" I asked getting out of his honda.

"I know two of the security guards that are watchinppmpg the left side. They have fake passes. We'll put them on and jump the fence."

"Sounds legit." I said as I swung my camera over my head. "Now lets go, I want to get some sweet shots of the band."

We walked over to Dereks lady friends, they gave us the passes and Derek helped me climb over the fence. Luckily there were porter potties blocking us from the crowd, we walked around making sure no one could see us. We walked out from behind the disgusting portables casually and made it alive. The concert had already started. I shoved my way through all the crazy teens and got to the front. I snapped some pictures of the band and the public.

I backed up to get another shot but some one ran into me and made me drop my camera.

"Seriously man?" I said picking it up.

"I am so sorry, I didn't mean to bump into you." He yelled over the loud music.

I looked up and saw a tall handsome guy with glasses and his hair all messed up on top of his head. Woah.

"Uh, its whatever." I stuttered. Wow I reall suck.

"Im Dylan." He smiled.

"Im Alana." I answered.

"Want to get a drink?" He asked.

"No Im good I dont really drink."

"Thats cool." He smiled.

His smile was so hot. What the hell Alana? You have a boyfriend...wait do I?

---------------------

"These pictures are amazing." Dylan said while skipping through my camera.

"Yeah thanks, hopefully they get me somewhere." I blushed.

"You wanna go grab something to eat?"

"I cant I actually have to get going, but it was great meeting you Dylan."

"Youre already saying goodbye?," He made a pouty face. "Can I see your phone?"

"Umm, I dont want to be hacked." I laughed.

"Im going to put in my phone number."

I handed him my phone and he typed in his number.

"We'll talk later then Alana." He flashed me a charming smile.

I smiled back and walked away. I called Derek and met him at the car. I opened the door and got into the car.

"Tonight was amazing!" I sounded like an eight year old.

"Im glad you had fun." He smiled. "Any new friends? I saw that guy who was that?" He asked curiously.

"You sound like my dad Derek."

"I need to watch over you, you can't blame me for caring."

"Thanks big bro but I can take care of my self, and that was Dylan. He was pretty sweet."

"Uh huh, dont let Jessie hear about him." He said while stopping at a red light.

"He was just a guy I met, plus me and him aren't dating."

"Oh, then in that case stay away from both." He joked.

I laughed at him. The whole ride home we shared a conversation about our night.
