Living in the Spotlight

HEYY BINDI

I'll try to make this long and funny at the same time, enjoyyyy.

Sena's POV

Hi, welcome to my life. It's pretty boring, when you are VERY shy. Or more than that, whatever...

You might know me as Derek and Nastia Hough's oldest daughter and big sister of Elle Hough. So, my name is Sena. Weird name, I know.

Today I'm supposed to meet my Dad's partner for season 21 of DWTS. I loved all of his partners, except Bethany (don't really want to talk about HER...).

Anyways, back to the present...

I look on my camera roll, my Dad has been posting too many selfies...geez, you have your OWN PHONE. Like, seriously...

" Sena! We're going to leave in 20 minutes! " my Dad shouts. Dang it, I'm still in my pajamas and it's noon.

" K! " I yell and get ready.

I quickly grab a random t-shirt and a pair of short shorts. I go to my bathroom and begin to brush my teeth. I look at myself in the mirror. Last month, I dyed the tips of my hair dark pink. My parents weren't sure, but they let me.

Why, you ask? I don't like putting makeup on my face. Plus, I do so much things with my hair. I twirl my hair, I flip my hair, etc, etc...

" Sena! We'll be late! "

" PEOPLE I'M COMIN' JUST WAIT ONE FREAKIN' SECOND OK? " I shout back.

I slip on my white converse and realize I can just tie them in the car. I get my phone and run downstairs to see Elle and my Dad waiting impatiently.

" We waited. " Elle said as she opened the garage door. I sigh.

" Sorry, I guess. I didn't know you guys were THAT impatient. " I say and hop into the front seat.

On the way I look on my Instagram, people are telling me to get a Twitter, might get one, don't know. I see Elle reading hate comments on Twitter.

" Ignore them. " I whisper and she nods.

After a long period, of course, I get bored. I go to my AUX and go to my Heavy Metal and Rock playlist.

I go to a song by Nirvana, called 'Lithium'. The car was so quiet, until the song 'New Years Day' came on by Pentatonix. After that, silence.

I turned up the volume, it was so loud, but my Dad chuckled, turning the volume down. I glare at him.

" Dadddd! I'm bored! " I whine.

" Sena, we're already here. And if you turned the volume way too loud, the paps will hear. " he said and I shrug my shoulders. He does make a good point.

Elle and I get out of the car, and BOOM! Camera flashes.

" Stop! " I yell and they continue, I hate being the center of attention. Dad gives me a look.

" Oh c'mon! Can I shout at them, PLEASE? " I beg and he sighs.

" It'll be all over the news, sweetheart. I will never let you do that. " he says and I huff. I hate paps, they suck.

I walk into the studio with Elle, I pay attention to my phone. Apparently, we were meeting the daughters of Uncle Mark, Uncle Val, Aunt Witney and Aunt Jenna. I didn't really want to be here. But, I have to.

My Dad makes Elle and I say this, basically ALL OF THE TIME:

" Always be open-minded of everyone that you meet. You don't know the person's personality until you meet them. "

Elle was already introducing herself. Then, she bumps me in the shoulder. Shoot, I totally forgot.

" Oh yeah, hi... " I say and she rolls her eyes playfully.

The introduce themselves as Caitlin or Cat Chmerkovskiy and Mia Ballas, and then, Dad, Elle and I walk to the studio. My Dad reads this note.

" Girls, we are going somewhere else to meet my partner. " my Dad explains and I have a confused face. Well, at least we're going to meet his partner.

After a twenty minute ride, we arrive at...the zoo? Wait, what the hell? I look behind me and see Elle very excited. Weird...

We get out and walk towards this random girl with an alligator in her hand, she looks familiar.

Elle screamed out loud, I can tell she was fangirling.

Wait, is she who I think it is? Or am I actually dreaming?

" You're not. " BINDI IRWIN said in front of me and I screamed. I said that out loud, didn't I?

" Yup. " Elle snickers and I realized I said that out loud again. " Oh, whatever. But, you're Bindi Irwin! "

" Are you Sena Hough?! " Bindi said. What the hell, SHE KNOWS WHO I AM?

" Oh my god, I love you and your songs! " she exclaims and I have wide eyes. Am I gonna faint?

" Maybe. " I heard Elle say. Why do I say things out loud...

" Anyways, hello! I'm Bindi Irwin, I'm 17 years old, my hometown is Australia and I'm a wildlife conservationist. " she introduces.

" Well, I'm pretty sure that we know who you are, I don't know about my Dad though... " I say.

Bindi got out a big snake, and my Dad looked petrified, literally. Elle and I began paying him, Elle was totally cool, I was kinda nervous, but like I said, my Dad literally looked scared.

" Oh my god, I have to take a picture! " I say. I wasn't gonna take a picture of the snake, I was gonna take a picture of my Dad looking scared. He didn't even realize that I took the picture.

" I gotta go.. " my Dad says, obviously he was nervous.

" Ooh, Bindi, ask my Dad to hold the snake! I think he'll love it! " I say and my Dad's eyes go wide.

" Um, I don't think that's a- "

" I love that idea! Here, Derek. Be very careful. " Bindi smiles and my Dad glares at me.

" You're welcome. " I fake smile.

The snake slithered and Dad panicked. Elle and I began laughing. We spent some time at the zoo, and literally paparazzi wouldn't stop following me.

" Seriously, when will you get the fuck away from me? " I say, not that loud so my Dad wouldn't hear. They just take a picture of me.

" Morons! " I exclaim and walk away.

After a few hours, we finally said our goodbyes and went back home. Of course, my Mom would ask 'how was your day?' or 'did you have fun?' and things like that.

" So, how was the day? " my Mom asked me.

" It was okay. " I shrugged. " Are we gonna eat dinner now? "

My Mom chuckled. " Soon, Sena.. "

Tomorrow, we're going to have a rehearsal with Bindi. Hopefully my Dad will not freak out..
