Vanessa's point of view

"Guys!" I said as I ran inside. "Arzaylea!" I said happily and she hummed, looking at me. "Guess what!"

"You had a good first day?"

"Out of this world." I said and fell back on to the couch. "Oh my god, it was amazing." I said and Luke laughed.

"I seem to be asking this a lot, but what's got you so happy?" He asked asked he set his car keys down. "Make friends?"

"Yes, her name is Miranda, but that's not what made me all happy." I said and sat up. "So in choir, we're doing a bunch of songs from my favorite artists and the teacher said that if I keep up the good work, I can solo in a concert that's a month away."

"That's great!" Arzaylea said and smiled. "Isn't that amazing Luke?" She asked and he nodded.

"Just don't blow your voice out like I did." He said and laughed. "What songs?" He asked and I took the packet out, handing it to him.

"Drag Me Down, This Is Gospel, Centuries, Stressed Out, and Bohemian Rasphody." He read and I nodded. "Are you sure that Queen is appropriate for school?"

"The teacher said we were doing it so it must be." I told him and he nodded. "They're some of my favorite songs."

"Sounds like Ashton's Spotify playlist to me." Arzaylea said and Luke laughed. "It's true isn't it?"

"Yeah." Luke said and nodded as I closed my eyes. "Good songs. Here you go." He said and I took the packet back.

"We should go to the concert," Arzaylea said and I looked at them. Luke looked at her with an expression I couldn't read and she nodded. "We'll see if we could go. How about you go do your homework or something?"

"I didn't get any since I was new but okay, I can go do something." I said and took my stuff, going upstairs to my room.

I set my bag down and then sat on my bed, grabbing my laptop out from under it. I grabbed my black headphones and then plugged it into my laptop.

I went to an audio app I downloaded and then took a few songs that I thought would mix. Ayo by Chris Brown and Money by 5 Seconds of Summer.

I started layering, fixing the audio, the beats, the lyrics, everything. Money was the one you could hear the lyrics too, and partially the instrumental. I took the beat from ayo in the background playing, and the only part you could really hear was 'I need you', 'ayo', and the chorus about once in the middle of the song.

It took me maybe an hour to perfect it, and when I finished, I felt extremely proud of myself. I took my headphones off after listening to it a few times and then I saved it to the laptop, closing it after.

I went downstairs to show Luke and Arzaylea, but stopped when I heard my name. "We can't risk getting caught at the concert though, it's a highschool, full of teenage girls, we can't just bring security there."

"Vanessa is really excited about it Luke, come on. Pick up one or two guards and let's just go. I know you're not fond of the idea but you have to." She said and I frowned my eyebrows.

What wasn't he fond of?

"You're right. God, this is so much harder than I thought it'd be." Luke said and I went back upstairs.

I sat down on my bed and then sighed, putting my headphones on, deciding to just make more remixes and mashups.
