for the past 2 days, i skipped school and focused only on music. it was the only thing that hadn't been ruined for me yet, so the distraction was really nice.
surprisingly mom let me skip school because she knew "how nervous" i must be. and honestly, i was. but i was also super excited. people were actually paying to see this, i can't mess up.
i poked around my closet looking for something to wear. my outfit had to be awesome this time. i pulled a few things out and tried them on.

i hadn't worn my boots in a while, so i thought this was the perfect occasion. i also did some cool eye makeup and topped it off with a dark red lip combo. for my hair i had two little pony tails on the crown of my head, i was really inspired by misa amane.
i looked at myself in the mirror. it felt so surreal getting ready for something i always dreamed of doing.
i slung my guitar case over my shoulders and walked out. i saw my mom leaning against the counter on her phone. she looked up at my outfit. "you look festive."
i smiled. "thanks."
"you ready to go?"
i nodded. we walked out the door and down the hall to the elevator. when we got in the car, i laid my guitar down in the backseat while mom got in the driver seat. i got in on the other side and began to hook up my music. 'kickstart my heart' started to play from the speaker.
"so where am i driving to?"
"here's the address." i handed her a small sheet a paper with the address and time of show on it.
"this damn thing is almost an hour away."
"yeah, i think it's closer to the city."
she sighed but started driving. it was silent for a while, except for the sound of whatever song was playing. mom suddenly broke the silence about 20 minutes into the drive.
"i remember driving you to pick out your first guitar."
i looked over. that was a memory i hadn't thought about in a while. "that was so long ago."
she exhaled. "i know."
mom kept driving. after what seemed like forever, she pulled up to the back of the venue.
"alright, you can just let me out here. show starts in almost an hour."
