{Esmeralda's POV}
Today is the day that I finally get to live my dream by working the merch tent for my favorite music magazine Alternative Press at Warped Tour this is my first job and first time going to Warped Tour I grabbed my backpack with everything that I need. I left my room and walked downstairs I walk into the kitchen my parents were sitting at the table eating breakfast and drinking coffee I grabbed my reusable water bottle out of the fridge.
"Where are you off to at 6 in the morning?" my mother asked.
"I am off to work remember when I told you and dad that I got the job working the Alternative Press merch tent at the Vans Warped Tour." I said.
"Just be back in time for church this evening." my father said sternly.
"Dad I don't even know what time I am getting off."
I left the house and got into my Chevy Traverse I put the key in the ignition and started the engine I backed out of my parent's driveway and drove away when I arrived at Merriweather Post Pavilion, I parked in the parking lot I turned off the engine and took the key out of the ignition. I grabbed my backpack and got out of the SUV; I followed a group of people helping out at Warped Tour through the gates. When I arrived at the Alternative Press tent, I was greeted by a young girl about my age she was wearing a black AP tank top, black shorts, and black converse she has long dark brown hair with blue streaks in her hair.
"You must be Esmeralda, I'm Summer and welcome to the AP merch tent." Summer said.
"This is like a dream come true for me I always dreamed of working Warped Tour for my favorite music magazine." I said nervously.
"We are happy to have you work our merch tent today also a band is scheduled to stop by our tent at 4 o'clock."
"I will treat the band warmly."
"I worked this before with other bands I became really good friends with some of the band members." Summer explained.
Summer and I set up the AP merch tent a young guy with short brown hair walked over to us he handed a clipboard to Summer, he is wearing a Pierce The Veil t-shirt and black shorts with black Vans he looked at me and smiled I smiled back at him.
"Hey Summer who's your friend?"
"Mike this is Esmeralda she is working the AP merch tent with us."
"I'm not working the tent with a bunch of girls." Mike protested.
"You did last year and the year before that besides at 5:00 o'clock is when Motionless In White is stopping by our merch tent to hang out with us and do a signing." Summer said annoyed.
Mike just rolled his eyes and walked away Summer just shook her head and helped me finish setting up the tent and merch before the gates opened when the gates were finally opened people started filing in. Summer and I sold t-shirts, tank tops, shorts, water bottles, and sunglasses with AP's name and logo I put the money in the lock box Summer and I took a break we grabbed a bottle of water out of the cooler that Summer brought.
"Did I do something to piss off Mike?"
"No, you didn't piss Mike off he doesn't like working with girls because to him he thinks that the girls that work at Warped Tour or any music festival only do it to meet their favorite bands."
"I knew Motionless In White was performing at Warped but I didn't know anything about them stopping by our tent later until you told Mike who was coming by the tent." I explained.
"I can tell that you won't go running off from the tent like Mike does." Summer said.
Summer and I left the merch tent to go get some lunch we grabbed our lunch and brought it back to the merch tent after lunch we reopened the tent Summer and I didn't get a lot of customers after lunch.
"Summer what time does Warped end tonight?"
"Warped doesn't end until 9:30-10:00 tonight. Do you have something planned?"
"No, I was just asking because my parents are going to church tonight and my mom and dad both knew I got the job to work the AP tent and before I left the house this morning my dad told me to be back in time for church, I told my dad that I didn't know what time I was getting off." I explained.
"I take it you're not religious?" She asked.
"No, I'm not religious but since I live under my parent's roof, I still have to follow their rules including going to church." I replied.
I checked the time on my phone it was almost 4 o'clock I was starting to feel nervous I took a calming breath and told myself that their just normal people like me and everyone else at Warped, Summer and I set up the extra chairs under the tent for when Motionless In White arrived. I helped Summer set up the stack of pictures for the signing we were setting black sharpie markers on the table when Chris and the guys walked up to the AP tent.
"Hello ladies how are you too enjoying working Warped?"
"It's not too bad this is my second time working the AP tent at Warped but this is my friend Esmeralda's first time working Warped she got excited when she found out that you guys were stopping by our tent for a signing."
"Hi, Esmeralda it's nice to meet you. How are you enjoying Warped so far?" Chris asked.
"I am enjoying it very much this is like a dream come true for me because I always wanted to come here and now, I am living the dream." I said nervously.
The guys sat down at the table Summer and I made sure that everyone was in line and didn't cut the line or hold someone's place for them until they arrived after the signing Summer and I took a group photo and individual photos with the guy's Chris, Ricky, Ryan, Ghost, Balz, and Vinny signed two of the left-over pictures for me and Summer. After the guys left to enjoy the rest of Warped, Summer and I had sold the last of the AP merch after the last band performed, we were given the okay to take down the tent. Summer and I took down the tent and packed up as I was walking out to the parking lot, I heard a familiar male voice call my name I turned around and saw Chris Motionless running towards me.
"Do you have to leave already?"
"Afraid so if not, I will be in big trouble with my parents but I already know that when I do get home my parents will be furious with me because I wasn't back in time for church which I hate going to."
"I guess asking you to come hang out with me and my brothers is out of the question?" Chris asked.
"I'm afraid so I would love to hang out with you and your brothers because you guys seem pretty cool to hang out with but I have to go home and face my parent's." I said sadly.
"Before you go can I give you, my number?"
"I would love that. Would you like my number as well?"
"Yes please."
I dug through my bag and found a piece of paper and pen I wrote down my cellphone number and address I fold the slip of paper and handed it to Chris, he handed me a slip of paper I climbed into my Chevy Traverse and drove out of the parking lot. When I arrived home, I parked in my parents drive way I turned off the engine and removed the key from the ignition I grabbed my bag and autograph picture and climbed out of the car I walked up the porch steps and walked into the house.
"Esmeralda Marie Sky where have you been!!" my parents shouted.
"Mom, dad relax I was working at Warped Tour all day and I told you this morning before I left this morning that I didn't know what time I was getting off." I explained annoyed.
I walked upstairs to my room I walked into my room and closed the door behind myself I sat my bag on my computer chair and put my autograph picture into an empty picture frame and sat it on my computer desk. I grabbed my Harley Quinn pajamas off my bed and walked into the bathroom when I was finished in the bathroom, I pulled the covers down and climbed into bed I covered myself up and turned off the lamp and went to sleep.
