Marley Winslow jumped up and down amidst the crowd at her favorite band’s concert- Marianas Trench. Screaming along with Josh Ramsay’s ((Sexy- Ahem.)) voice. Next thing she knew, she was being pulled up by the lead singer and her best friend just grinned, boosting her up. Marley stalled, but quickly stammered the rest of the lyrics, and hurriedly getting back into the groove of the song. Josh just grinned and the crowd lifted Hailie, her best friend, up after her. Calla, their other friend, hung back, just grinning.
Marley was ecstatic when she heard the next song they were putting on. Celebrity Status rang out loud and clear thoughout the stage.
”I look around, round, look around and look it over,
I take it up- up, take it out and, take you nowhere,
Trading in who I've been for shiny celebrity skin
I like to push it and, push it until my luck is over.
It never stop stops, never stops, well you better,
Think it over prima donna you don't want to sever,
All the work to impress, charming girls out of their dresses,
And smiling pretty, well pretty will shallow you forever”
Marley’s eyes shone bright as she shouted,
“Step one, step two, step three repeat
And I pray at the church, of asses in the seats,
And disappear behind the beat, yeah
When the mirrors and the lights
And the smoke clear I'd never guess
How we ever coulda got here.
You can say what you say
When the lights go down
So shake, shake, shake,
And shut your mouth”
Josh handed her a microphone and Marley pushed it back immediately. He took her hand and wrapped it around the small stick. “Take it,” he mouthed quietly, silently laughing. He sang the next verse the gestured to her and shouted into the microphone,
“Can we help out a fellow fan up here tonight? What’s the next verse!”
The crowd roared and didn’t hesitate.
“Step one, step two, step three repeat
And I pray at the church of asses in the seats
I disappear behind beat, yeahhhh”
Marley cleared her throat and relaxed slightly, grinning and singing,
“When the mirrors and the lights
And the smoke clear, I'd never guess
How we ever coulda got here.
You can say what you say
When the lights go down
So shake, shake, shake,
And shut your mouth”
Hailie ran beside Marley and sang with her, Josh nodding and going back to his microphone.
The girls stayed up for the rest of the concert, which lasted another hour, before it ended and they were about to hop off stage when Josh and Mike pulled them back.
“Hey, where are you going?” Mike asked, grinning, as Ian and Matt came over.
“Umm.... Home?” Marley asked cautiously and Hailie smiled at Matt.
