The week had gone by so fast that I was just now packing all my belongings, Rocky came over to help but she mainly watched me as I packed. "Do you have a slutty dress?"
"Why would I need a slutty dress?"
"In case you meet some funky hunky drummer" she said with a wink, she had her deep neon blue hair in two spacebuns, very little makeup, a cute almost tutu white dress with a navy blue vest and of course...her creepers. Rocky danced around as I finished packing, "Syd! Can you come here for a second?"
"I'll be right there dad" I didn't bother to tell Rocky I was leaving, she was dancing to five seconds of summer. My dad was sitting at his little table in the library, finally drinking the coffee I made him (it's seven'o'clock at night by the way) "What's up" he looked up at me, "well I heard about this band and I thought I'd get you concert tickets while we're there, you can make some friends. I can see if I can get backstage passes-"
"Daddy, it's ok, you don't need to get me tickets"
"Don't you even wanna know who they are?" Just then Rocky ran in screaming, "Mikey Mikey! Five seconds of summer are having a concert in Sydney! You have to go and facetime me so I can be there too, I'm sure your papa would love to get you tickets. Am I right papa Summers?"
"That's the band I was talking about Syd, give it a chance" I sighed
"Where are they playing?"
"A coffee shop" My dad and Rocky said at the same time
"Mainly acoustic if I may point that out" Rocky said
"The tickets are cheep, I can go with you if you want sunshine?"
"Okay...I'll go, but only for you two" I walked back into my room "gosh I do so much for you two shit heads" Rocky came back, "lovebug, tell Luke that I'll wait for him, and make sure to talk to Ashton, he's into superhero's, they all are really. But mention that ok hun"
"Okay, you better go...I leave at four in the morning" Rocky hugged me and stuffed something in my bag
"For Luke" she left, I went to my bag and pulled out whatever Rocky stuffed in it, a bra with her number...I was gonna miss her.

My dad woke me up at three, our flight didn't leave until 6:50 and we weren't going to arrive until the next day, I put my dark brown hair in a bun, pulled on some jeans and my favorite black daisy sweater, with my combat boots. It was a long flight but I might as well look good. My dad had been up for hours running about and telling me all the facts about Sydney. I hated plane rides, I've been on them for most of my life but I still had fear of maybe ending my life on a plane...I watch too many disaster movies give me a break.
The airport was full of business men, families, and teenage girls with band shirts. Since it was near summer break in the UK most people were going someplace sunny for their summer. "Alright Syd" my dad said in a terrible Aussie accent, "you ready to spend six months in a sunny place for once?"
"Dad, we lived in California for a year, I'm not into the sun"
"Just try to have fun" he kissed my head. This was going to be a long flight.
----------------
We were an hour away from landing and I already felt the heat, luckily I planned for this and striped off my sweater to revel a deep red crop top, my dad finally fell asleep after babbling on about Australia. I took out my phone and searched five seconds of summer, I found some interviews from each of the boys, the accents made them much more attractive. I felt a heavy breath on my shoulder, there was a girl about my age leaning over to see what I was looking at. "Oh, sorry, I didn't mean to scare you" she said as she flipped her hair, she had honey colored hair, stick thin, her blue eyes were the color of the sea. "I'm Ashley" she said in her England accent, "Mikey"
"Mikey? Isn't that a boys name?"
"It's really Michelle but I prefer Mikey"
"Oh, well you and Mikey share the same name, are you going to their concert?"
"I think so"
"Well you should stick with me, I know the drummer"
"You do?"
"We go way back" she was now in the seat next to me explaining how three years ago she met Ashton at a party and they had a thing for over a year, the reason why they broke up was because he said she was too clingy. Which she insisted was a lie, I agree with Ashton. "So, I'm sure he'll remember me"
"He doesn't know you're coming?"
"It's a surprise" she said with a smile, showing off her pearly whites, damn she was a beauty
"Well let's just hope he remembers you"
"Why wouldn't he? I'm hard to forget" I rolled my eyes. We spent the rest of the flight talking about our lives, and we found out we live down the street from each other, only she went to a rich school and I didn't. My dad started to wake up "I see you made a friend" he said with a smile, "hi, I'm Gregg" he shook Ashley's hand, "I'm Ashley Irwin"
"Irwin?" I said with an unconvincing look
"Well it's really Lynn Meyers, but I think me and Ashton are meant to be, so I go by Irwin"
"I hope that works out for you?" my dad said with the look of *I would stay away from her*
----------------------------
Ashley and I exchanged numbers and parted our ways, the airport was full of girls with "5sos" on their shirts, "hey! That's the band I got tickets for-"
"I know dad" we were almost past the girls when they started screaming, I turned around, four guys walked in, they looked like 5sos...but something was different, it wasn't really them. Hormonal middle school girls are really gullible. I rolled my eyes and continued walking. "Don't you want a picture with them?"
"It's not them dad"
"Oh" we walked out of the airport, I felt the heat fully on my face, I wasn't looking forward to this trip. My dad was trying to get a cab, knowing him that would take an hour. I wandered around the airport, I liked watching the planes take off, I made my way to the back of the airport, most of the time they had security in the back for celebirty's and important people. I heard laughter from a black van, the door opened and three boys walked out, they were laughing about the prank they pulled on the girls back in the airport. They noticed me
"Well, aren't you a beaut" the one with blond hair said, "thanks" I said with half grin
"You sound American" the one with the blue hair said
"I'm from the UK"
"That's not normal" he said with a laugh
"I have American blood, I just live there"
"Oh" all three said together
"Yeah...well I better head back to my dad, nice meeting you" I started walking back to my dad
"Hey" the blond one caught up to me, "do you have tickets for our show? It's pretty small, it sold out quickly"
"Oh, you're that band"
He laughed, "I guess so, so you got tickets or not babe?"
"I have some"
"Well, I'll see you in a few days"
"Ok, bye" I walked away
"Wait!" I tuned around "don't I get a name love?"
"That's a mystery lip ring" he smiled and walked back to the van, I caught up with my dad, we were still cabless. "Hey, it's not that far of a walk" I said
"You sure?"
"Yeah, I'm ready for an adventure"
