I ran trough the front door, and ran upstairs.
I took on my high waisted shorts, a grey T-Shirt with Pizza Is Forever standing on it, a blue with white flannel and Taylor Swift Floral Keds (they walk amazing). I just did some stuff in the tips of my hair so that it wouldn't be that fizzy, and then I did my hair half up and half down, kinda like Ariana Grande but then not that tight and stuff. I did my eyebrows, some red lipstick (that I normally wear, or red lip balm) and some concealer for some spots on my face. I took my phone put on some music and then waited.
I heard the bell. I ran downstairs, and opened the door, there he was, just standing there.
"Bye mom, cya later." I said.
"Bye Karlie." She said.
Chandler opened the door for me, what a gentleman. We talked about some stuff with his mom while we were driving to WSC. We arrived and walked inside. Chandler introduced me to some people, they were all very nice tho.
"So whatcha wanna do?" Chandler asked.
"Well it doesn't really matter to me, you choose." I said.
"Do you wanna walk around? Before it's filled with fans." He said.
"Yea sure." I said with no doubt.
It was quiet. We walked pass a tattoo booth.
"So why is there standing a tattoo booth?" I asked.
"Well some people let us sign their arms or something like that and then they come here and make it permanent." He said
"Wow, that's pretty awesome." I said.
"Yea right?" He said.
I saw a guitar just standing there.
"Can I play something on the guitar?" I asked kinda nervous.
"Yea sure, I don't mind." He said, with literally no doubt.
"You like some country?" I said with a little laugh.
"Nah, not a big fan of it tho." He said.
"Too bad for you, because it's the only I know😹."
This one is called Dear John.

"Long were the nights when my days once revolved around you.
Counting my footsteps praying the floor won't fall through, again.
And my mother accused me of losing my mind but I swore I was fine.
You paint me a blue sky and go back and turn it to rain.
And I lived in your chess game but you changed the rules everyday.
Wonderin' which version of you I might get on the phone, tonight.
Well I stopped pickin' up and this song is to let you know why.

Dear John, I see it all now that you're gone.
Don't you think I was too young to be messed with?
The girl in the dress cried the whole way home, I should've known.

Well maybe it's me and my blind optimism to blame.
Or maybe it's you and your sick need to give love then take it away.
And you'll add my name to your long list of traitors who don't understand
And I'll look back in regret how I ignored when they said, "Run as fast as you can."

Dear John, I see it all now that you're gone.
Don't you think I was too young to be messed with?
The girl in the dress cried the whole way home

Dear John, I see it all now it was wrong
Don't you think nineteen's too young to be played by your dark, twisted games?
When I loved you so, I should've known.

You are an expert at "Sorry"
And keeping lines blurry
Never impressed by me acing your tests
All the girls that you've run dry have tired lifeless eyes
Cause you've burned them out

But I took your matches before fire could catch me.
So don't look now
I'm shining like fireworks over your sad empty town.

Dear John, I see it all now that you're gone.
Don't you think I was too young to be messed with?
The girl in the dress cried the whole way home
I see it all now that you're gone
Don't you think I was too young to be messed with?
The girl in the dress wrote you a song, you should've known.
You should've known
Don't you think I was too young?
You should've known."

I sang with all the passion I had. Chandler looked amazed at me. I heard applause, apparently someone turned on the mic, but I was too much in my own world.
"Wow, you are amazing." He said, with a spark in his eyes.
"Thanks, I just couldn't let this guitar standing here just doing nothing." I said with a little red face.
"Well now it's used by your amazing hands." He said, amazed.
Someone came up walking to me.
"Would you like to do more performances?" She asked.
"Yes, that would be amazing!" I almost screamed is this real?
"Would you like to be one of our artists, at WSC, we'll hire you for more, if you'd like to?" She asked. I almost got a heart attack.
"Yes, omg thank you so so much!" I was way too happy.
"Okay at the end of this day wait backstage and we'll figure your contract and stuff out." She handed me a note
"Okay thank you so much." I said so happy.
"No problem." She said with a smile.
I walked to Chandler.
"You gave me this howl different feeling about country, but it was your voice and your guitar playing that did it to me." He said with a little lump in his throat.
I blushed "Thanks, you'll hear more of me today, so don't worry."
"And we'll see each other more often, so we're gonna have some great memories." He said with a big smile on his face.
"Yea, that lady gave me a note with her room number can you maybe help me find it?" I asked.
"Yeah, of course let's go." Chandler said.
We found the room Chandler walked inside with me.
"We'll have to make a set list of the songs you'll be singing today." She said.
"Yea sure." I said.
"Do I have to stay here or do I have to go?" He asked to the lady.
"You can leave, this won't be that interesting to listen to." She said.
"Okay, cya later Karlie." He said.
"Bye." I said while waving a little.
"So, do you have any self written songs?" She asked very interested.
"I do, but they aren't finished yet." I said.
"So, you are going to play covers then?" She said a little let down.
"Yes, I think so." I said happy.
After half an hour we finished making the set list. I'll be singing for an hour! So excited! It is mostly country, but there are some pop songs too. I walked back to Chandler.
"I did you a favor I am going to play some pop songs too😹." I said while laughing
"Cool, which songs are you going to play?" He asked interested.
"Here is the set list." I handed Chandler the setlist. He looked at it.
"So you're a fan of Taylor Swift?" He asked with a little smirk.
"Yes, and it's called a swiftie😹, her lyrics are just so honest and beautiful."
"Wow, I think we have to go to our places it starts in 5 min." He said.
"Okay, bye, enjoy the music😹." I said laughing.
"Bye, I will." He said with blushy cheeks.
The crew said I could walk on the stage, nobody actually knew who I was, obviously.
"Hello people from WSC Atlanta!" I said while some people screamed.
"My name is Karlie, and I am totally new to the WSC family, and I am going to sing some covers for you. Are you excited?!" I said, almost everybody screamed.
"This is the first time I sing for a crowd this big, so here we go."
I first sang Haunted by Taylor Swift, it seemed fitting to me. When the our almost finished I had 3 songs left.
When I started singing You Belong With Me, Chandler came he was sitting in the front, almost the entire song I looked at him, I don't know why. At the last song that I sang I got so mad because it goes about some dude who has been cheating, and that basically happened to me too. It's called Should've Said No by Taylor Swift. At the end I thanked the crowd and left the stage.
