I got home from school around 12 in the afternoon because we had an early release day today, thank the Lord. That left five hours for Kori and me to get ready for the concert tonight. My nerves had been jumpy all day, but I just figured it was excitement for the concert. I don’t think nerves should be like that for a concert for a band I’ve never seen before, but I guess we’ll find out.

I laid on my bed and looked at my blank white ceiling while swimming in my own thoughts. I remembered the feelings that I encountered on my birthday when I received Kori’s presents of VIP tickets for 5 Seconds of Summer. I still couldn’t put my finger on why I had the feelings, all I can say for sure is that I had them.

‘Maybe it had something to do with the boy in the dream,’ I thought. It was always possible, but highly doubtful. I don’t even know who he is. Hell, I don’t even know if he exists, let alone know who I am.

I was shaken from my thoughts by hearing the doorbell ringing downstairs. I headed to downstairs getting off my bed and answered the door.

“Hi Eric,” Kori greeted me at the door with a hug. “We need to start. Like NOW. We now have four and a half hours to get ready for tonight if we’re going to get there early,” Kori told me, looking at her phone to check the time. I gestured for Kori to come in, when she ran right past me and booked it up the stairs, leaving me to sprint up after her.

We started with me doing her doing my hair and me starting on my makeup. I wanted to keep it fairly simple with something that would stay on all night. I layered a light champagne color on my lids with a complimentary light tope colored blended into my crease. I added a dark chestnut winged eyeliner and long, bold lashes to my eyes. I finished with a dark red on my lips to compliment my eyes.

I looked up to see that Kori was admiring hair work on my hair. She curled it in loose waves that fell past my shoulders, and pulled the left side hairs back with a waterfall braid, secured with a red bow to match the lip. It was absolutely gorgeous.

“Kori, I love it!” I exclaimed to her. She smiled in response. “Now let’s get started on you”.

We finished up Kori’s look in an hour later. I saw she had a violet and black smoky eye blended to perfection to bring out her now glowing green eyes, and finished with a light pink lip gloss to keep the look balanced. I had curled her hair in tight curls and pulled it back into a loose but classy messy bun at the nape of her neck. I was very proud of my work, if I do say so myself.

“I love my hair! Thanks, Eric,” She told me with a bold smile.

“It was my pleasure. Now, we have about a half hour until we have to leave so let’s get changed and then go eat something because I’m starving!” I laughed.

“When aren’t you hungry, Erica?” Kori laughed at me.

“Never,” I told her.

After getting dressed we did one final look over in my floor length mirror.

“Wow, you look amazing!” we both told each other in unison. I had chosen black ripped super skinny jeans that hugged all my curves. On top I wore a galaxy designed, chiffon material loose top with a silver 5 Seconds of Summer necklace and hoop earrings and studs to fill my three piercings on each ear. I added my white high top Converse to keep it casual.

Kori wore purple to neon blue ombre high-waisted shorts with a simple black crop top with small side cut outs. She had all gold accessories, including a simple dusty gold heart necklace with small stud earrings to match. She finished it off with her all black and white high top Converse. It took us four hours total to get ready, but it was definitely worth it.

We headed downstairs to grab a small snack when my parents came into the kitchen, where we were eating.

“Now, be careful you two. Remember those kickboxing lessons you took? They may come in handy tonight,” Mom told be with Dad standing beside her, nodding in agreement.

“Call us when you get there!” My dad told me.

“Okay, I promise we’ll be careful. And yes I was planning on calling anyway,” I reassured them as we walked out the front door. I heard my parents shut the door behind us as we walked out to the car.

My nerves were still on edge the whole ride there, but I still couldn’t figure out why.
