Composure {Brandon Arreaga (PRETTYMUCH)}

"You're the one that I want"

".... please welcome PRETTYMUCH!"
My eyes grew wide when I heard their name, I was such a big fan and I felt my stomach churn.
I quickly looked to Bella who just laughed at my current state. I turned to see all the boys running on stage getting ready to come greet us. Isabella and I stood up slowly and she grabbed my hand.
"Play it cool Gizzy," I nodded slowly and breathed deeply before they reached us. We all said our hellos and hugged each other before all squishing together on the couch. I was squished between my sister and Brandon.
"Welcome, welcome!" the host began. "We are so glad to have you all!" he finished.
We all smiled and Austin said "we are so glad to be here again!"
"So we have an awesome day planned for you guys including performances from PRETTYMUCH and the Gomez Sisters, a few fun games and fan questions!" the host explained.
We all clapped while the crowd cheered.
"First up we are going to play a little game of Karaoke roulette. One of you guys is going to pull a song title out of this bowl in front of you, and you have to hum the song. Everyone else has to guess and whoever guesses first gets a point and then gets to hum the next song, so on and so forth. You guys got it?"
"I think so," Isabella says nodding while we all nod and laugh.
"Okay so i'm going to draw the name of who hums first" the host says reaching into a smaller bowl.
"Edwin!" He says pulling out Ed's name.
Edwin stands up and pulls a song title. He nods and begins humming "Baby" by Justin Bieber. Austin is the first to guess so he goes next. It goes on for a little bit. Isabella goes up next and begins to hum to "My Heart Will Go On" by Celine Dion. I guess first and cheer excitedly when I get it right. Right now Zion and Brandon are tied for first place. I grab a title from the pile and begin to laugh when I see "10,000 hours" by PRETTYMUCH.
I begin to hum and Zion springs up but not before Brandon jumps off the couch yelling 10k hours at the top of his lungs. I laugh returning to my seat but not before giving Brandon a high five for winning.
"And our winner is Brandon" the host says as the crowd cheers loudly. Brandon stands up and shows off his muscles, making everyone laugh. He sits down and the host announces our next game.
"Now i know all of you are dancers so I'm pretty excited for this one!"
A TV is then rolled out onto the floor and we all look very confused.
"You guys will be playing Just Dance" I open my eyes wide and we all laugh.
"Again I have names in this bucket, for you guys. 4 of you will draw names and the name you draw is the name of the person you will be going against. Since there is only 7 of you, my name will also be in the bucket. We are doing this bracket style, so we will keep playing winners until there is only two left and someone will be crowned Just Dance King!" the host finishes and the crowd cheers. When it gets silent I say,
"Or queen!" and everyone laughs. Austin draws the hosts name, Zion draws Isabella's, I draw Edwin's, and Nick draw's Brandon's. First up is Austin and the host. Austin wins by a landslide. Next is Zion and Isabella and unfortunately Zion beats Isabella, but not by much.
"sis you gotta win it for the girls!" Isabella says making all the girls in the crowd cheer.
"Wow no pressure!" i say making everyone laugh. Next up is Edwin and I. It's very close but I win at the very last second. I jump up and cheer before Edwin gives me and congratulatory hug. Brandon beats Nick quickly. Next up Is Austin against Brandon. They pick a girly song and they both get very much into character making us laugh the whole time. Brandon comes out the winner. I beat Zion and he groans. I laugh in his face and he puts his hand in my face dramatically making me laugh. The crowd cheers because it is down to me and Brandon.
I get in Brandon's face trying to be as intimidating as I can be for a girl who's 5'1. He looks over me and pretends he can't see me.
"You're going down." I say pushing him softly.
"Let's go!" He says laughing. I draw a name from the bucket and it's "You're the one that I Want" from Grease. Me and Brandon both nod and I get ready to dance. The song begins and we are both doing really well. This dance includes a lot of touching and I feel awkward knowing he has a girlfriend, but I try not to take it seriously as we are just having fun.
At the very end there is a lift where I'm supposed to wrap my legs around Brandon's waist, and I hesitated a little bit but before I know it Brandon is hoisting me up with no problem whatsoever. I begin to laugh with him while we continue dancing but my heart beats fast. The song ends and he puts me down not breaking eye contact. He lifts me into a hug both of us laughing. They turn the tv off before we can see who won and the host stands in between us holding our hands like we just got done boxing.
"And the winner is....."
He laughs before he says the winner.
"Gabriella! Our new just dance Queen!" I jump excitedly while the crowd cheers. I give Brandon a hug and he bows to me clapping. I quickly sit on the couch out of breath. The crowd settles down eventually so we continue.
"Now we are going to open the floor up for fan questions" the host asks and immediately hands fly into the air.
The first question is "Are any of you guys in relationships, and if so with who?"
We all go down the line answering the question.
"I am in a relationship with my beautiful girlfriend Fiffany" Austin answers making the crowd 'Aw'
"I am also in a relationship with Tiffany!" Edwin answers.
"I am not in a relationship" Zion answers pouting making everyone laugh.
"I am dating the beautiful Alexys Cruz" Nick answers with a smile.
"And I am with Charlotte Dean!" Brandon answers with a smile.
"Well all these guys are in a relationship except Zion." I say quickly. "And all I wanna say is Zion you aren't alone because I am also single" I say with a sigh while Zion perks up and Brandon pats me on the shoulder.
"I am in a relationship with my boyfriend from back home Kevin" Isabella answers.
"So what i'm hearing is that Zion and Gabby need to get it together" the host says and the crowd laughs.
"hey!" zion says pouting.
"There is really no rush, i'm going to be 20 in a week. I'm still young and I don't want to rush anything. When it's meant to be it will be, but for right now I am perfectly happy being single. Because just because I am single does not mean I am alone" I fight back smiling.
"I like that!" Zion says reaching across to pat my leg and the crowd cheers. We answer a few more questions, most of them about music and dancing.
"And now PRETTYMUCH is going to perform 10,000 hours and Healthy!" the crowd cheers and the music starts. I smile at Brandon without even realizing it. He has always been the cutest to me and he's so talented. Charlotte is a lucky girl for sure, but honestly I just want to be friends with all the guys. They finish and it's our turn to go on.
"And now performing two never before heard songs, give it up for the Gomez sisters performing Shout Out to My Ex and Power!" (both by Little Mix).
We take the stage. I look up and see the boys watching us and begin to feel nervous. But as soon as the music starts my nerves go away and I find myself smirking. We are singing shout out to my ex first.
