Chapter 2- A Dream Come True

A Dream Come True

It was Anna. We'd only broken up for the summer for an hour and she was already calling me up. "Hello?"

A high pitched scream suddenly rang in my ears from the other end of the line. I had to hold my phone at arms length. When the screaming finally stopped, I edged the phone back to my ear and heard Anna panting. "Oh my god! Soph, guess what??!!"

"Well, apart from you nearly deafening me and giving me a heart attack at the same time, I'm not really sure." I loved using my sarcasm on Anna, it really did wind her up. I walked over to my bed and continued talking. "Whats wrong anyway Anna? Why are you calling me now? We've only been back from school an hour!"

"Well give me chance to speak!" Anna laughed through the phone. "You know how my dad is rich, right?"

I was jealous of that. Anna's family was rolling in dough. Literally. Her great uncle was a duke, and when he died he left all his wealth to her dad. Don't get me wrong, my family had a decent house and stuff, but it wasn't like I could click my fingers and suddenly own a load of designer clothes. Anna wasn't a brat, but her parents spoiled her. I nodded, and Anna must have realised, because she took a deep breath.

"Well, when I got home from school, there wasn't anyone home..."

I snorted. "Wow! Really? Let me guess, they'd gone to Narnia?"

"Soph! Do you want to meet them or what?!"

I paused. Meet who? What was she talking about? "Anna, what do you mean???"

Anna suddenly squealed again. She wasn't very good at hiding surprises. "My mom has got me and you tickets to see 5 Seconds Of Summer in concert on Saturday!!!"

Those words echoed through my head. We were going to see 5SOS in concert?!?!?!

"No way!!! Anna this is amazing!!!!" We both had a massive screaming fit over the phone. I'd never felt so happy in my life. I leapt about on my bed like a crazy fool, feeling like I was soaring through the sky.

"Not only that!" Anna giggled. "We've also got a VIP pass to meet them backstage afterwards!!!"

Suddenly the world stopped spinning. Everything came to a halt. I started falling down, back to Earth, until I landed flat on my ass. "WHAT???"

"I know! Isn't it exciting?!" Anna shrieked, and I could hear her rummaging in her closet. "Its all set. I'll pick you up at 12pm, we'll drive to the arena, find some lunch, explore the shops. The concert starts at 7pm, and its on until half 9. Then we'll spend an hour with them backstage, and then they said we can..."

"Anna, no!" I cut her off. "I can't do that! I can't meet them! I get worried talking to strangers, let alone the hottest boys on the planet!" I could already feel the anxiety building up inside me. My breath became ragged as I started to go into a panic attack.

"Soph, calm down! Its not everyday you get to meet your celebrity crushes! How would it feel, to be staring into Luke's eyes?"

Anna just didn't understand. I couldn't. But I managed to swallow the lump in my throat and be brave. "Yeah, it'll be fun."

"Great!!! See you Saturday!"

I said goodbye and hung up. I reached under my bed and pulled out the poster of Luke. How could I? What would I say? Oh hey there, Luke. I kinda fancy you, I have for ages. I would probably just curl up and die!

"Sophie! Helen has just called me, have you heard?" My mom came rushing up the stairs and into my room. She was wearing her cooking apron and her hands were covered in flour. She always made us a big cake when we broke up for the summer. My mom was ace at cooking, but I didn't feel that hungry.

"Yeah, Anna just called." Mom sat down on the bed next to me. "I thought you would be happy?"

I shrugged and mom sighed. "Honey, I know that you're anxious, but you can't hide away all the while. This is a chance of a lifetime!" I glanced at my mom as she smiled and backed out of the room. I couldn't help but laugh when she did that. She never liked to hang around after giving someone a pep talk.

I decided to take my mom's advice and loosen up. But as I made my way downstairs, there was just two questions on my mind.

1- What would Luke think of me?

And 2- What the hell was I gonna wear?!
