Little anxiety

Chapter 3 - Tonight's the Night

At the top is the outfit Shay wears to the concert.

After our first two periods we had lunch and all the girls could talk about was the 5SOS concert tonight and truthfully I was sick of it. It's not that I don't like their music or them, well I have never met them so I can't judge but I love their music. It's just most of the big pop bands these days including 5SOS (maybe) have their music written for them and use auto-correct all the time. I do know it's not the case for every one but I'm talking about the majority here, so it is understandable I don't trust them.

"hey Shay wake up, we're talking about what were gonna wear, we have back stage passes so were gonna meet them meaning we have to look insanely amazing" Holly excitedly explained to me.
"Oh yeah I the concert, umm I think I have and idea" I said posing in a silly thinking position.
"Hahah just because that was funny doesn't mean you get away with zoning out and not being apart of this conversation" Holly laughed but then quickly turned serious.
"Sorry" I muttered shoving more French fried in my mouth.
"Soooo...." Bethany questioned.
"So what?" I asked taking a bite of my salad.
"What are you gonna wear to the concert you fuck nugget" Abby looks at me in disbelief. After Abby finishes her sentence we all go quiet and stare at one another and then we suddenly start laughing so hard. Tears had formed in my eyes, my stomach hurt and the entire cafeteria was looking at us as if we were bat shit crazy. But who could blame them I'm pretty certain all four of us are bat shit crazy.

Not being able to stay grumpy with these guys I told them my outfit plan for the concert as we headed down the halls to our class.
"Ok so I plan on wearing Holly's black midriff singlet, my kaki-green jacket and my leather and denim shorts" I say quickly, taking in a deep breathe.
"Ooh nice but what about shoes" Bethany looks at me expectantly.
"Oh crap yes, umm, I can't think of anything" I say giving up "what do you guys think?"
"I say your black boots" Holly chimed in.
"Na she should wear converse" Bethany said in a very duh like tone.
"Wait guys I have it" Abby said her voice brightening "her combat boots".
"On god yes...." Bethany and Holly cut of my excitement to argue about Abby's opinion. But by that time I had already tuned them out and out my head phones in, turning to Nirvana.
This being the only class we all have together it's normally the one we get in trouble the most in. All four of us were at the back of the class dying of laughter once again within that hour.
Other students snickered along to our jokes while some just glared. To bad for them cause they are missing out on a gooood time.

Once school finished we went our separate ways me on my bike and all decided to meet at Bethany's house at around 4:30. Riding home I packed my make up and clothes including toothbrush because I planned on staying at Bethany's. AC/DC blasted from my speakers overpowering the noise of the shower as I let the hot water run over me. attempting to dry my thick blonde waves I grabbed my bag jumping on my bike and started the 15 minute ride to Bethany's.

"yo open up!" I yell through the front door, hoping Bethany's parents weren't home. I had parked my bike up against the house along side Holly's, who was always early to everything.

"Its open come on in!" I heard Bethany's voice shout from her bed room. opening the door and stepping inside I walked down the familiar hall way towards Bethany's room. Speakers was blasting the oh so familiar 5SOS.

"My shrink is telling me I got crazy dreams
She's also saying I got low self esteem
She's kinda hot though
Yeah, she's kinda hot though"

"just a little bit a little bit hot" Holly sung, as she waved her hair brush in the air. Sighing loudly I threw my bag on the bed and took out my phone walking over the the docking station.

"don't you dare" Bethany threatened, coming out of the conjoined bathroom. She knew my motives and was now full on death glaring me.

"what?" I said hoping the innocent act would get me of the hook.

"don't you dare change the song" Bethany continued to threaten. Holly had now stopped waving her hair brush in the air and had started looking at me in shock.

"what, why would you do that, it just came out to day" Holly spoke up in shock. Luckily Abby walked through the door saving me from any more torture or interrogation.

"Hey guys what's with the tense atmosphere" Abby commented on the stale and tense atmosphere that had filled the room. We all looked at each other, not wanting to speak up. A giggle formed in my throat and tried to escape but I held it back. A few more moments passed and the laughed proved harder to hold in.
"Hahahah holy crap, I can't even" I shouted, letting out my laugh. The others joined me as 18 by 5SOS started to play.

After we had calmed down we continued to get dressed. I had put on my denim and leather shorts with my crop top and jacket and was now finding my accessories and applying my make up.

I decided to skip the concealer and let my freckles breath, so instead I wore mascara and dark eye-liner with a natural smoky eye. After darkening my eyebrows I through my hair up in a large messy bun, holding it together with seven bobby pins. looking around the girls were finishing of and putting there shoes on now. Grabbing my boots I tied the shoelace and walked down stairs with Abby to grab a bite to eat. Taking an apple out of the fridge I heard the clomping of Bethany's and Holly's shoes come down the stairs.

"Alright, alight lets go, come on come on!" Holly yelled flinging the front door open.

"lets party ladies!" Bethany follows dragging me and Abby behind them. I joined in, yelling cheesy song lyrics out the window of the car.

The outside of the stadium was packed and buzzing with fan girls a few I noticed from our gigs or school. Sadly I seemed to fit right in with the fan girl crowed as Bethany, Holly and Abby jumped up and down as we stood in line.

"OMG OMG" Holly squealed the other girls joining in with her all squealing at once. I laughed to myself these were my best friends and even if we were sometimes completely bipolar I loved them because of it. Watching them bounce up and down like excited puppies, made me happy causing me to smile and jump with them.
Finally making our way to the back stage entrance after pushing through lots of screaming fan girls, lets just say we got lots of glares.
Showing our ID to the stereotypically large and burley secretly guard we passed through into a very white and air conditioned hall way. Walking to the end and turning into a large lounge like room that the security guard had directed us to. Electric and acoustic guitars and bass guitars lined the walls and 3 couches sat in the middle of the room. A group of fellow fan girls say or stood in groups whispering and occasionally screaming. Bethany, Holly and Abby walks over to a group of girls we new from school (some of our fans) and started chatting. Our fans just stood there eyes wide in adoration and you could see every emotion flashing through their face. Not in the mood for socialising I found a comfortable spot on the couch and tried to resist the urge to play the guitars. Minutes had pat and it didn't seem like anything was going to happen so slyly walking over to a guitar rack I picked up a fender acoustic guitar and cautiously took it back to my seat. Strumming a G# quietly I started plain the intro to "Basket case" by Green Day. Closing my eyes I continued growing louder.
