   I remember the day it happened how everything around me changed and how my life took a one eighty. It was a Friday and we were having one of our quarterly talent shows. I being who I was had to be in it no matter what. I was in the backstage area warming up my voice when I heard my sister Cassandra and her boyfriend Niall singing the popular song. They looked and sounded so pretty.

 

                Everything about them was so perfect. From the dance routine to their voices hell even their outfits were amazing. I would love to have had something like that. Something that I knew would last forever; but of course it would never happen. I held my standards high and I didn’t want anyone to ever stand in the way of my dreams; or stop me from following my dreams. “I envy them every day of my life”, I heard someone say behind me.

                I turned around and saw my sister’s friend Alexandra standing behind me. She was in a cute outfit; but it was also kinda revealing. Okay it’s not that it was revealing; but for her it was.  

Me: I know exactly how you feel.

Alexandra: I wish that could be me someday

Me: Um Lexie why are you dressed like that?

Alexandra: Why am I dressed like what?

Me: How you’re dressed right now.

Alexandra: Oh well Hanna, Jenny, Kris, and I are gonna be singing Lady Marmalade

Me: That’s nice and all; but don’t you think you’re showing a bit too much?

                Alexandra blankly looked at me like she was stupid and it really pissed me off. I knew Alexandra had a crush on a guy named Louis; but he had a girlfriend almost like every other month. Nobody knew why and the rumor was that he was a whore and Lexie wanted to be his next victim. Excpet the funny thing was Louis and Lexie didn’t like each other anymore. I didn’t know why; but what I did know is that every time they were together they’d fight.

                They use to be best friends and everything. People use to say that they were gonna run away and get married and stuff; but I doubted it.

Me: Alexandra are you trying to get Louis’ attention again?

Alexandra-Looking down- Uh….no….maybe I don’t know.

Me-sighing-: Alexandra please don’t do this.

Alexandra: I’m not doing anything I’m just being different.

                I shook my head and walked away to go get my hat because I was up next. I walked to the hallways and to my locker. When I got there I put in the combination and opened my locker and found a piece of paper folded up several times. I grabbed it before it fell and put it back in the locker and grabbed my hat. I was curious to find out what the letter was about so I grabbed it and put it in my back pocket.

                I wanted to know what the note said; but I had to go on soon. I looked at my outfit one last time in my mirror and took a deep breath and let it out slowly. “There’s no mess ups now”, I said to myself. I took one last deep breath and let it out slowly. I then shut my locker and walked back to the backstage area.

                On my way back I bumped into someone who knocked me down.

Me: Jeez watch it!

???: Oh my Gosh I’m sorry are you ok?

                I looked and saw I guy that I never seen before with his hand extended to me. I was in utter complete shock. I didn’t know what to say or do this boy was like someone that you could only dream of and here he was in front of me. I took his hand and he pulled me up and then dusted me off.

Me: Thank you

???: You’re welcome I’m Zayn by the way…and you are?

Me: I’m Samantha; but everyone calls me Sammie and I’m late to my show can we talk later?

Zayn: Course I’ll be backstage when you done.

                I smiled at Zayn and then ran to the backstage area with just seconds to spare. I had butterflies in my stomach and I didn’t like this feeling because I knew that I had a crush on someone I didn’t even know and I had to have him.
