Callie's POV

Hey, my name is Callie, I am 16 and I'm obsessed with music. I play in a band called 'Black & High' a bit random name, I know. I'm the vocals, I love singing, I sang since I was 4.
     My passion for music started when I was 3 and my dad put Avril Lavigne on. I would shake my little butt around and later on sing along to 'Here's to never growing up'. My dad was proud to see his little girl evolve into a rock star and not a pop star. In year 5, he signed me up for talent show and with my cute voice and charming personality I won. From then on I would sing every day practicing my vocal chords, it would get on my parents' nerves sometimes but did that stop me? Not at all.
      For my 13th birthday I got a keyboard and a professional microphone, I started learning simple songs and soon got my friends to join me and that's how 'Black & High' became a thing. We played mainly locally, on the streets, earning a bit of money. Last year, however, we played on my dad's birthday party and some manager from a radio noticed us and we got promoted. We started playing around the country, I liked the wrapped tours, music was my life and escape from reality. Also, I loved road trips I would always sit near the window and listen to my Ipod while singing along annoying my friends. But who cared? They loved me anyway.
      You might think that a girl with long, blue hair and big brown eyes playing in a band would have boys all over her? Yup, you're right, but I never took any of them seriously. I always wanted the perfect boy, you know the one for me. I messed around with a couple of them but never really went beyond kissing, it never felt right enough. To be honest, I never felt butterflies or anything like that even if the guy was very hot. I sometimes wondered myself why I wasn't feeling any of them but I would push those thoughts away, I didn't really care. I loved my life and always lived in the moment. I always knew life was short and that you have to take risks but I never knew mine would be that short...
