I put some dish soap on my sponge and begin to scrub a plate before placing it into the dishwasher. I start the load and hear my phone ring in the dining room
I sigh in relief. I dry my hands on a dish towel and pick my phone up
"Hello?" I ask
"Hello! This is Hi or Hey Records. Is this Ms. Pennington?" The person asks
"Uh, yes why?" I ask as I head to my room
"We know you've been in relation with 5SOS a lot recently. We apologize for the hate and disrespect you've been receiving." They say
"It's fine" I say
"So, we take it that you're fond of one of our bands, 5 Seconds Of Summer?" They ask me
"Yeah..." I stretch out the word
"We assumed. May we please speak to your legal guardian if they are currently present and un-occupied?" They ask
"Dad!! Someone is on the phone for you!!" I yell downstairs
"My dad will be up in a minute." I say into the phone and I hear them hum in understanding
I sit on the couch and turn the TV on and I switch the channel to Cartoon Network and begin to watch Adventure Time, my favorite show.
My dad walks in and hands me my phone
I mute the TV and answer
"Hello?" I ask
"Hello again. Would you be interested in coming on tour with 5 Seconds of Summer?" The person asks
My heart begins to beat so fast. I'm gonna throw up. "Uh, I'd love to but I don't know if my parents would be okay with it and I have school and stuff."
"Your parents are fine with it. We already approved it. And online school." They say
I gulp. "Of course, I'd love to." I laugh
"Great. A driver will be sent to pick you up to fly you to Virginia by tomorrow. If that's enough time." They say
Tomorrow?! I can't be ready by tomorrow?!
"sure." I say and smile. RAMEY WHAT DID YOU JUST DO
"Great. Please stand outside of your home at 9:30 tomorrow morning. We ask that you be completely prepared for this tour. There is no going back." They say
"Of coarse. Thanks. I have to go. Thank you." I say and hang up
I dial Bre's phone number and I run out of my house in my Nirvana sweatpants and white tee shirt, no shoes.
Bre picks up
"Hey, what's up?" she asks
"Head to my house. Now. No time to explain." I say and hang up
I run to the diner and head up to my boss, Richie, a dirty blonde boy that had a thing with hitting on me
"I'm quitting" I say
"What?!" He asks in disbelief and he almost drops the cup he was washing
"I'm sorry. I'm going away for a VERY long time. I can't hold up spots for people that have more potential than me. Sorry" I say and begin to run back home as he keeps calling for me
There's Bre, standing outside of my house
"What the hell took you so long?" She asks
"I'm going on tour with 5SOS" I say, out of breath
