Angela was never very fond of the free concert series the city had every summer. In fact, she actually had grown to dislike it very much, especially since her work route just had to go through the concert area. It only made the city more busy and crawling with tourist, and it wasn't like they played good music either. Though many questioned the Swiss's own taste in music that basically consisted of German and French folk songs, musical soundtracks, and classical music.

So really it wasn't a surprise that Angela had no idea who it was singing that day nor did she really want to, but she didn't know that it would be a big deal that she didn't. Well really, calling it just a big deal was a bit of an understatement.

She had simply been making her usual business route, having woken up just a little earlier in hopes of getting past some of the crowd that always came with the concerts. Most people at the concert were either over the top excited and joyfully chattering with just about anyone or simply rude as they tried to push past anyone to see who it was and shoot glares at anyone who moved in front of them. It was mainly the latter that bothered the blonde for the most part, but overly joyous people could get annoying  if they proceeded to yell everything that they said. Angela was usually a bright, cheerful person for the most part, but even she could rarely ever handle anyone like that.

She had been making pretty good time on her usual work route till she started nearing where the concert was. It seemed to be one of the biggest ones thus far; people were already stretched out a block away in hopes of catching even a glimpse of the singer. Despite the very obvious popularity of the singer, Angela still had no clue as to who was singing.

The blonde couldn't help but frown as she started to walk past the crowd, mainly out of annoyance. Don't get Angela wrong, it was nice for the city to have the free concert every so often. However, it easily got very annoying for the people who lived in the city.

Now usually she would of continued on walking, not paying attention to whoever it was that was singing that day. It would be the absolute farthest thing from her mind, and she would try her best to forget it even existed. Though curiosity had gotten the better of her today, and she was a little bit curious as to who it was who was causing this much of a fuss. It took a few minutes of walking swiftly between other pedestrians and bystanders and having to push her way through a few people, but she soon made it to just about the very  front of the stage. It was literally only minutes before the singer would come on, and every single fan was standing there in excited anticipation.
Angela stood there for a few seconds in complete silence, simply studying her new surroundings. She was mainly looking for any sort of thing that would tell her who exactly was going to be playing. Her eyes skimmed over the word Pharah a few times, so that could possibly be the person singing.

Angela tapped a rather excited young girl who was standing beside her a few times to get her attention. "Excuse me, do you know who is playing?" she asked. The girl was quick to turn her attention to the blonde. Her look of excitement and her jumping up and down due to it almost instantly faded and was quickly replaced with almost a look of disapproval. "What?! You don't know who's singing?" the girl said rudely.

Angela tried to respond, but the girl quickly interrupted her. "How do you not know who's singing? Do you live under a rock? It's Pharah, the latest rock sensation! She's, like, world famous! How do you not know?"

Angela couldn't help but frown at the girl and roll her eyes. An excited and rude person was not a usual one the blonde had to deal with, and frankly she hoped she never had to again. "Oh, I'm sorry. Are they a big deal or something?" Angela replied in a very annoyed tone with a scoff following right after it. Usually she wouldn't let her anger speak for her, but she couldn't help it this time. The person was being an absolute jerk over a simple question, and Angela did not want to deal with her attitude at all. It was a surprise that she hadn't stormed off herself yet.
