"Addy! What the hell are you doing?" I know exactly who that shriek belongs to, Aunt Helen.
"Oh come on Helen! Haven't you ever been a teen?" I shout over my blasting music while dancing around.
"Yes but I was the nerdy type," she began speaking up a bit while leaning on my doorframe, "I was boring" she smirked.
I danced over to her and grabbed her hands, "COME ON! LIVE A LITTLE!" I shouted while whipping my hair and pulling her into my room.
"What the hell is this crap anyway?!" She laughed, my Aunt Helen listens to stuff like Bob Marley, which is good but you can't dance to that.
"MAROON 5!" I shout, "SUGAR! YES PLEASE!" I sang while spinning my aunt because I'm taller than her 5 foot 2 ass. She eventually gave in and began dancing along with me.
"Dance party! Where was my invite?!" That's my best friend, Tilly. She practically lives here so lets herself in with the spare key, which I hide.
I throw my arms up in the air and spin around until I fall on my back.
"ADDY!" Tilly shouts while rushing over to me but all I do is laugh, "bitch, you could have got a concussion!" Always so afraid, bless.
The song ends and Shawn Mendes comes on, Life of the Party.
"FUCK YES!" I shout and turn it up.
"I'm out!" My Aunt Helen announces while exiting my room and closing the door.
"I HAVE GOSSSSS!" Tilly shouts over the music.
I quickly rush over to my stereo and turn it down and grab her hands pulling her onto my bed with far too many pillows which I will end up taking off my bed when I go to sleep.
"Tells me!" I say through a smile.
"Marcus fucking Evans has only gone and got with that dirty slag!" She hisses with slanted eyes.
"UGH!" I shout while throwing myself on my bed, "I can't believe I almost did it with that douche."
"So glad you didn't," she shook her head with pursed lips, "so hello little miss 600k on vine!"
I quickly shot up and smiled, "WHAT?!"
"You've hit 600k you noob!" She shouts.
I grab my phone and see a notification saying I've hit 600k, "I WAS ONLY ON 300k 2 DAYS AGO?!" I say with a shocked expression.
"It was that cover of John Mayer's Gravity that did it, plus a little birdy told me that you got a cheeky revine from none other than Mr Mendes himself" she nudged my shoulder.
My jaw drops as I see exactly what she's on about.
"It's crazy to think that we live in the same town and we're the same age yet we've never even seen him."
"I know right. I ship you guys anyway. I mean you'll never meet but yanno" she shrugs.
"Way to crush my dreams" I joke.
"Well! No! I mean-" I cut her off.
"I'm joking, plus your nose didn't grow so must be the truth." I wink at her.
"At least he noticed you! Nash doesn't even know of my existence" she pouts and throws herself back on the bed next to me.
We both just lay there in a comfortable silence on our backs staring at the silence until Tilly rolls over, "Hey Addy."
"Hey Tilly" I mimic her.
"I had a dream about Nash last night. It was pretty scandalous if you're catching my drift." She smirked and wiggled her eyebrows.
"Ugh! TILLY!" I laugh and throw a pillow at her.
"WHAT?!" She laughs with me.
*PING*
I roll over and grab my iPhone 6 while still laughing.
"Shawn Mendes followed you on Twitter"
I stop laughing.
"What? What is it?" Tilly asks and looks over my shoulder and stops.
"Oh." She starts
"My." I carry on
"GOD!" We shout together.
I started getting more followers all of a sudden.
"What the frickety frack?" I question.
"Hmmm" she slants her eyes.
*1 new message on Twitter*
I tap on it and see a message I never thought I'd receive.
"Hi Adelaïde, Bart from Magcon here. I've taken a keen interest in your vine recently and would like to arrange a meeting with you and your parents or guardian to discuss you joining magcon. Money is not a problem it's all inclusive. Hope to hear from you."
I read the message and all I can hear is my heart pounding in my ears. Fuck. What. The. Fuck. I sit there as still as possible in shock. How is this possible? Me? Magcon? Shit.
"What! Addy! Adelaïde Rose!" Tilly began shaking me causing me to jump.
"I- I" I start but can't finish.
"You, you? You what!" Tilly asks.
"Read for yourself" I hand her my phone.
She took it from me and began mumbling it out loud then stopped and looked at me and carried on mumbling. Her hand went limp as she dropped my phone on the bed.
"ADELAÏDE ROSE EVANGELINE! THIS IS A CHANCE OF A LIFETIME!" She screams.
"But Helen?" I whisper.
"She's the most supportive person going! She'll have to say yes in fact, HELEN! HELEN DARLING!" She begins shouting. Fuck. Fuck. I grab Tilly and cover her mouth but she licks my hand and runs to my door with my phone and runs down the stairs. I jump up and chase after her.
"TILLY LOUISE SMITH GET BACK HERE!" I shout as I tried to grasp for my phone but it's too late. It's in the hands of my Aunt Helen.
"Helen! Read it!" Tilly jumps up and down as I walk over to the wall and begin slowly banging my head against the wall.
"I'm. So. Screwed."
"Magcon? That's the convention you girls are obsessed with, right?" I stop banging my head and nod my head and hang my shoulders down.
"And you travel around America and other places, right?" She questions again.
"Yes" I sigh.
"How do you sign up?"
I freeze and turn around to face her to see both Tilly and Helen smiling.
"Excuse me, what was that?" I raise an eyebrow.
"Do you just message this guy back?" She asks.
I nod my head.
"Get on it then!" She shouts and hands my phone back to me.
"Really?"
"Of course! I know how much you want this!" She looks so genuinely happy that I join in smiling.
I message Bart back accepting the offer. He soon writes back,
"Wonderful news! I'm currently in Toronto for Magcon which is tomorrow, you're in Pickings if I'm correct? I could meet you at 1 today in Starbucks. Is that okay with you?"
I write back saying it's fine.
Shit.
It's 12.
I grab Tilly's hand and sprint up the stairs and to my wardrobe.
"What the hell does one wear to this type of thing?" I throw my arms up in the air in frustration.
Tilly huffs and goes through my wardrobe to find a black and white horizontal striped peplum dress and grabbed my brown brogues and a little denim jacket.
"Yes!" I grab the outfit, close my bedroom door and tell Tilly to turn around while I change my underwear. I pull my outfit on and look in the mirror. Oh god. I look like death.
I pull my hair into 2 french braids and examine my face. I moisturise my face and do my makeup fairly light. Foundation, powder, blush, light eyeshadow, mascara and a nude lipstick. I turn around and stare at Tilly until she nods her head in approval.
"You're coming with me" I state.
"Of course I am! Don't be silly!" I check my phone and it's 12.45.
I go downstairs and lift my shoulders and spin for my Aunt Helen.
"I approve, now let's go"
My Aunt Helen can't drive after having an epileptic fit so I'm the driver in this family.
I jump into my little red Mini Cooper and make sure everyone is comfortable and drive away.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"You must be Adelaïde," I shake his hand, "I'm Bart."
"It's a pleasure" I smile at him.
"Please, take a seat." He smiles back.
I sit down and cross my legs and put my hands under my bum, nervous habit I guess?
"So as you know, we're here to discuss Adelaïde joining us on tour, I can only assume that you're interested in the offer?"
"Yes, most definitely!" I can't help but smile and look at Tilly who smiles too.
"Wonderful. All expenses are paid for but if you would like someone to join you on the tour as a plus one we need to know preferably by tomorrow," I quickly snap my head towards Tilly and she nods her head fast. Thing is with Tilly's family, she lives with her brother because of her abusive parents so he'd be cool with it, "and hopefully have you join in Toronto tomorrow and go from there so pack as much as possible!" He smiles.
"About the plus one, I would like a plus one."
"Ah yes, I need a name" he nods his head
"Tilly Smith" both Tilly and I pipe in.
Bart laughs a bit and writes it down.
"Now can I just have your signature and your Aunt's" I nod my head and sign and so does my auntie.
"Well I guess this is yours," he hands me a tag with my name on and "performer" on it and he hands Tilly one too with no name on it but a place for her to write her name and it says "plus one with..." And a place to write my name.
"Welcome to Magcon."
