Summer Love

S I X // Screaming Girls

I woke up pretty early today. I think I'm excited again. Today, I'll be going to the 1D concert with Luke. Not sure who I'm more excited to see. Haha.

I haven't stopped thinking of Luke since the grocery incident but I know that it's just because he was cute and nice to me. Nothing more. I don't expect this to be anything more than that either.

One, cause I know that after a while, he'll get sick of me and he'll decide to just leave me hanging. That's usually how it goes with me and guys.

4 Stages of Falling In Love With Stacey

1. Somehow come into my life.

2. Give me the butterflies by whatever sweet gesture.

3. Run through my mind 24/7.

4. Stop talking to me once they get sick of me. Like nothing happened.

I'm already used to it though. I learned not to care too much and not to take things too seriously.

And two, if this will miraculously turn into something more, it won't work cause I don't live here. I've never believed in long distance relationships.

"Stacey," My mom says waving her hand in front of my face. I zoned out.

"What time are we meeting your friend later?"

I shake my head before answering. "He asked me to go to the venue at 6pm. The concert starts at 7:30."

At 4:30, I start getting ready for the concert. I'm not gonna lie, I want to look pretty tonight. So after putting on a pair of ripped denim shorts, a rolling stones tank top, and my favorite pair of all black converse, I put on some make up. Mascara, cheek tint and lip gloss are the only ones i know how to apply so I guess that'll do.

My parents and I get to the venue at 6:30. There was already a long line outside. Some of them look like they've been there since early in the morning cause they had mats and pillows. Ughhh. Why do my parents have to be so slow? It's like I'm the only one with a sense of urgency in the family.

I try to look for Luke in the line but almost all I see are girls.

I'm here in front of the stadium. Wearing a rolling stones tank. Where are you? :)

He better not have ditched me. If this was a prank or something, I swear, I will hunt him down and beat the fuck out of him. Or maybe not, but really, he's gonna be soooooo dead.

Quack.

Just wait a sec, I'll come there to get you. :)

If this boy makes me wait any longer, he's gonna get what he deserves.

AHHHHHH AHHHHHH I LOVE YOU AHHHHH MARRY ME AHHHHH

What the actual---, I look up to see why they're all screaming. A guy wearing sunglasses and his hood up with a body guard came out of the door. And they're walking towards me?

The guy with wearing the hoodie suddenly grabs my hand. I don't care if the girls were screaming for him. He could be a rapist, for fucks sake. I was gonna ask him to let go but then I saw the ring on his lip. It was Luke.

What? I'm confused. This can't be real. My first time in the US and I get invited to a 1D concert by a stranger who, apparently, happens to be famous?

"Hey, did they mistake you for someone famous or were they really screaming for you?" I ask Luke, trying to keep up with their pace. I was running out of breath.

"I'll answer you later, just hurry"

We slow down when we get to the hallway of dressing rooms.

ONE DIRECTION

(Zayn & Liam)

ONE DIRECTION

(Louis, Niall, & Harry)

Holy shit, am I really just a few meters away from One Direction?

We enter the door which says,

5 SECONDS OF SUMMER

(Michael, Luke, Ashton, Callum)

5 seconds of summer?? The band whose song I keep on hearing on the radio back in the Philippines?? Luke is part of that band???

I never really bothered checking them out on the internet cause I thought they were just another boy band. I know nothing about them except their song She Looks So Perfect.

"Oh good, they're not back yet." Luke says, when we get in the room.

"Soooo, our daughter didn't tell us you were famous. We could've just googled you, instead of coming here to meet you in person!" My dad chuckled. It made Luke laugh too.

"It's cause I didn't know either, dad." I scoffed.

"I'm sorry sir, I didn't get to tell your daughter. But I assure you, she'll be fine tonight. Also, I can get her home, whenever you want, so you don't have to worry about picking her up." He assured my parents.

"Oh you can take her home anytime you want, as long as you'll both be safe." My mom says hugging me.

"Well okay, mom and dad. You guys can leave, now that you've met him." I come with them to the hallway to say good bye. They both give me a kiss on the forehead before leaving.

"Stay safe, okay? We love you!"

"You guys too! Love you more." I wave good bye then get back inside the dressing room.
