Chapter 65

Don't go home,
earth is not the good place.
oh, whoa whoa
Let's go to another galaxy.

Are you my alien lover?
Surfing around on the Milky Way.
Am I your human companion?
Traveling around in your new ship.

Don't go home,
earth is not so good now.
Oh, whoa whoa,
Let's go to another galaxy.

You're an alien from another planet,
and I hang out on Mars.
You're my alien lover,
and I'll be your human companion.

"This is a pretty unique song so tell us Kayla, how did you come up with the idea for this?"

I laughed, "I watch too much sci-fi television. I love watching TV shows, movies, and even reading books. I'm fascinated with space and learning about aliens. I had a movie night at my house and my friends and I had a movie marathon about aliens. It kind of sprung on the alien song."

"That's the big meaning behind the song?"

"Yeah and at first it was a joke and I wasn't going to put it on the album, but my friends and my team really liked it. It's different from the other songs on the album but it's such a fun song. There's so much you can do creatively with it."

"What's next for your career? You're graduating high school this year is that correct?"

"Yes," I nodded, "In less than six months from now I'm graduating. I'll be putting out another single in a few months but until then I'm going to lie low a little bit. I have school to concentrate on and I want to finish high school on a high note with good grades. That's my priority right now."

"We heard you have a few concerts coming up."

"Yes I do," I smiled. "I will be having three concerts in the next two months I think. I'm not traveling much and I definitely don't want to leave the state, but I wanted to do something. I feel like I can't promote my album the way it deserves because of school so I figured I would give the fans something. You know me, I love being busy."

"I've noticed that. I think everybody has actually. You keep yourself quite busy. How is Lolita and the rest of your group?"

"Our group is good," I nodded, "We have meetings regularly and I know Lolita travels a lot and always promotes anti-bullying. Now that we have an activities committee bullying is almost nonexistent in my school which is incredible. We are so close and we have the greatest time whenever we're there. I don't think anybody dreads going to school anymore."

"Your activities committees are going fantastic across the nation I heard. Bullying and suicides have gone drastically down since last year."

"That's incredible," I smiled. "That's what we wanted to do. Just something to let people know they're not alone. Lolita can't be there for every single person who needs help and I can't be there for everybody either. As much as we want to, we're not superwoman. This was our way of trying to be."

"Good for you. Let's briefly talk about some backlash you've recently received online. You had an interesting response to it. What happened there? How did you find out what they were saying?"

"For the most part, once school starts I step away from social media. I concentrate on what's happening in front of me and live in the present. I had no idea what was being said at first until I received a call from my manager. She told me what the fans were saying and told me that it might be good to clear it up. I went online to clear it up and I saw some of the comments myself. They got to me. They got to me bad. The status I posted was while I was almost in tears looking at the moments. I suddenly felt terrible about myself and was so hurt that my own fans thought that of me, especially when I had been working so hard to improve myself."
