She was jumping around the stage, singing while her friends around her head banged to the music. Her voice was angelic and smooth and I would never get tired of it.

"Y'all hyped up for tonight?" She screamed into the microphone.

The crowd cheered really loudly in respond. Her friend on drums begins counting down.

There were LED lights all over the stadium. The four of them were standing under spotlights each as they were running around.

I gasped loudly. The guys turned to look at me. I scratched the back of my head awkwardly and shifted away from them.

We were at the side of the stage and New Vikings are performing. Victoria was the girl in my daydream.

How could I not notice this?

I remembered now. She had the same exact orange hair like the girl in my daydream. She had the same exact blue eyes like the girl in my daydream.

Seriously, how could I not notice this?

"Jack? You OK?" Alex came next to me.

"Uh. Yeah. I'm OK," I laughed nervously.

"Oh. OK. They're ending soon and Victoria didn't faint," Alex said.

"Yeah. I told her I don't mind carrying her off the stage," I wiggle my eyebrows at him.

"Dude! You like her!" Alex suddenly said, a little bit too loud that Zack and Rian turned around, smirking at me.

"What? What? No?!" I stood up and walked away from him.

"Wait, wait. Tell me, you and your booty call broke up," Alex stopped me half way with a grin on his face.

"Yeah," I nodded.

"Dude! Just ask Victoria out already!" Alex hit my stomach.

"Yeah, man. You like Victoria!" Zack giggled at me.

"We'll see you again, Boston!" We heard Victoria shouting and the crowd goes wild.

"Encore! Encore! Encore!" The crowd started chanting.

We quickly went to the side of the stage. Everyone was chanting that they wanted an encore. Jimmy who was beside us, gave them a thumbs up.

"OK, OK, you guys win. This is a cover song by the one and only All Time Low," Victoria turned to face us and winked.

"Hey, why don't you guys join them?" Jimmy nudged his head to the stage.

We looked at each other and ran on stage. Familiar beats and rhythm of Runaways reached my ears and soon everyone starts running around the stage.
