On a late April night at around 2 am I was scrolling through Tumblr when I came upon a Hopeless Records ad on the Tumblr radar.
"Hey Nance check this out." I said as I pointed to the screen to show my best friend Nancy what I had found.
"Sup?" she asked moving closer to get a better look.
"It's a contest for Hopeless Records! It says: 'Win a chance to spend 2 weeks with a band from our label! As we have a variety of bands and fans for our label, we have decided to thank our fans for their love, support and dedication! Just send in your name, email address and the reason why YOU want to win to enter the drawing! Winner will be picked June 10th 2014! May luck be in your favor!' I should totally enter!"
"I don't know if that's a good idea Caroline, it could be a giant scam." Nancy questioned the idea, keeping her group status of 'voice of reason'.
"Aw c'mon there's not a lot they can do with my email address and name! Please let me do it?" I put on my best puppy-dog eyes.
"Ugh fine. But if something goes wrong it's not on me, got it?"
"Oh my god yes! And who knows maybe I'll win?!" I smirked.
"Yeah, yeah just get it over with." she turned back to her One Direction fan fictions. I quickly filled in the spaces given and went back to my dashboard to ogle over band boys.
-- July 1OTH 2013 --
HONKA! HONKA! My iPod went off alerting me of a new email. I was sitting on my couch watching How I Met Your Mother, and Barney had just shared a story about his newest conquest. I picked up my iPod unlocked it and went through my emails, the newest one was from Hopeless Records. Holy shit did I win?! I tapped it and read the email. 'Congratulations! You have won Hopeless Records getaway! Hopeless management will be sending you and 3 friends to a beach house in California! All expenses will be paid by our label including flight fees and food supply. A band from our label will be staying with you during your stay. The band will be revealed when you arrive at the house! Please send back an email of confirmation in the next 24 hours or a new winner will be picked! Any questions you have need to be stated in said email. Thanks for participating in the contest and have a great day!
- Hopeless Records Label'
"OH. MY. GOD. MOM! MOM I WON! I WON MOM!" I screeched running up the stairs to my parents' room, tripping on a few stairs on the way.
--California, Hopeless Records beach house (a week later)--
We got out of the cramped car and stretched, after the long ride from the airport. Is it bad that we had a uhaul for our stuff? Nah, I'm sure it's cool I mean we're a group of 4 teenage girls, how can we not bring a crap-load of stuff? I decided to bring my three best friends with me. I brought Nancy (you know the girl from the beginning of the chapter?), Elyssa and Erin.
"I wonder what band it'll be." Nancy asked as she gazed up at the 2 story beach house. It was pretty big for a beach house; I wonder what it's like on the inside. "Oh what if it's All Time Low?" Elyssa teased, smirking and nudging me. I rolled my eyes "Yeah like that'll happen."
"Hey who knows maybe it really will be!" Erin suggested happily.
"I bet you 5 bucks that it won't be." I said while struggling to pull my suit case up to the house; Jesus that's a lot of sand for one place. I know I sound like a Debbie downer but I really don't want to be disappointed.
When we finally got into the house with all our things a guy wearing skinny jeans, a green day shirt and a pair of Nikes was standing in the main hallway. "Alright ladies! My name's Chris! Congratulations to Caroline for winning! Let's set some ground rules okay? No one can bring anyone in here other than the people who have been chosen and parents incase of emergencies; no sex in the house although I don't think that will be a problem with a group of 15 year old girls! Hopeless records are providing food and anything needed. Halfway through each week there will be a grocery run done for you. A list will be made so please try to remember what you need; there will be no second trips in one day. There is a pool in the back of the house, we understand that the ocean is close and there is a lot of sand but please try not to get too much sand in it. The band will be arriving in an hour so be ready by then. There are two rooms available for you guys, two girls per room, there are bathrooms connected to the rooms, please try to not make so much of a mess in them because there are only two you will be sharing, the band gets their own two bathrooms. Keep the fighting to a minimum. No sneaking into the band's rooms at any time of the day, that's super creepy. Curfew is 12 am, no later than that. Questions?"
I raised my hand "Do we get Wi-Fi?"
He laughed and nodded "Alright have fun guys!"
"SUMMER BREAK 2014 BITCHES!!" Elyssa yelled as she ran inside.
