            I know I shouldn't be snooping in around their belongings but I couldn't help it. Besides, I have an unexplainable feeling that this thing is directed to me. What have I to loose anyways.
           I opened it up anxiously and found myself a paper with a smooth glossy-ish surfacing and papery consistency. When I took the time to read what was on the actual paper instead of investigating it, what I saw was remarkably unexpected but also expected.
          Telling by the feeling of the paper, it was a ticket. Telling by reading it just hands me down low. It was a ticket to 5sos' concert that they are currently probably rehearsing right this very moment.
           I was trying to explain the situation of the precious ticket mysteriously sandwiched in between two white hotel pillows whereas anyone could've stolen it. That or something else kinds rang a bell. I went ahead and checked the paper it was wrapped it.
          There it was, a tiny little note scrawled on the far right side of the paper written with a pencil provided by the hotel.

           Wear something nice. See you later Hailey ;)
                                  C. T. H.

            This sends back a flashback of him winking at me when I have absolute no fucking clue of what's going on. I smiled at his clever little trick. This ticket was definitely a ticket to Heaven.
I clutched the ticket in my hand as if when I let go, it would get sucked into a black hole and finds itself lost in outer space or perhaps another dimension where no one, or should I say no thing would ever know what it was and it would be forever pointless.
In my case, it was far from pointless. Before I made use of it, I took a picture of the ticket, as a keepsake and also to send it to Calum.
Under the picture, I wrote...

Me: *under the picture of the ticket*
You lil prick

           Then I thought now was the stupidest time to text him because he had rehearsals. Or not because maybe he's been waiting beside his phone all the time he was gone.

Calum: :)))))
Me: Don't you have rehearsals¿?
Calum: We're actually kind of checking the place out first..
Me: oh ok then.. Well thanks anyways, you rlly didn't have to.
Calum: just wear something nice
Me: okay dipshit
Calum: :))

            Then he straight away went offline so it was no point replying to his smiley face. It's either he'll not reply 'cause he was busy or he just didn't see the reply.
           I decided to ring Natasha up and tell her out front I'm going to the concert. To be honest, I don't even know if she's going.. She always seemed to avoid any conversation that involved the 5sos concert tickets. And I always assumed that it was because we both weren't able to get some and was jealous of people that took up the once vacant seats. But now, I don't even know.
            "Heyyyy Nattt," I said as soon as the line clicked, meaning someone answered the call. I didn't even bother to check if it was her answering or I accidentally dialed the wrong number. I know we have the contacts app and all but I like to type out the numbers, seems more verbal.
            "What's the sitch?" She answered casually while munching on something, probably her favourite potato chips. God I love this girl. "I'm going to 5sos' concert," hoping I'd sound that casual. Ugh, I feel bad now because she doesn't have a tic- All was proven wrong when she replied back.
          "What?!" Aaaaannnndddd she choked on her potato chips. I was about to answer with sympathetic apologies because I can't bring her along until she answered again. "I HAVE A TICKET TOO,"
           I sucked in a whole gulp of breath while saying 'what' so basically nobody could hear anything I said. So she started again, "I ACTUALLY GOT A TICKET TICKET LAST MINUTE BUT I COULDN'T GET YOU ONE IM SO SO SO SO SO SO SORRRRRYYYYYY," to be honest, I was overwhelmed to be mad at her. Plus, seeing that she could come made my day even better. Plus, she sounded as if she were about to cry and that'll make my day even worse. Plus, the thought of her wanting to get a ticket for me was so sweet.
           My silence must've given her the wrong idea so she started all over again, "HAILEY? HAILEYYYYY IM SOORRRYYYYYY. PLISSS FORGIVE MEEEHHHH. BUT WE CAN STILL GO TO THE CONCERT TOGETHER? RIGHT?????? HAILEYYYYYY!!
          Before she started crying, I made a quick move to answer. "DUDE CHILL WE'RE BOTH GOING."
          Silence, then we both started squealing like dying pigs.
          "OKOKOK," Natasha was taken over by an occasional fangirl adrenaline. "GRAB ALL YOUR FUCKIN 5SOS T-SHIRTS. WE'RE GONNA START A HELL OF A RIOT."


Surprise surprise. Mom didn't take away my phone. At least not yet, and I hope not.. I mean like school has been unusually more shitty than ever and her taking away my phone would mean me thrashing my bed over the nearest head. Anyways, it's still great that I have more than usual voters and readers and hope you can share my book and message me if you need me to do the same :)))) -Kya-
