When Nessa is asked to be a backup dancer for Khalid's tour she agrees without hesitation-Nessa isn't alone though.
She's joined by five boys who go by the name of Prettymuch.
Who is Prettymuch? Well they just so happen to be Khalid's opening act...
"To the bus we go." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
| Nessa's p.o.v |
"Welcome to the Prettymuch tour bus." Edwin says, his arms spreading wide.
Shaking my head with a small laugh, I follow behind the boys walking inside.
"Now uh, well you see you're kinda stuck with a bottom bunk since this was all last minute." Nick said sheepishly.
"No it's fine don't worry about it, besides I sleep crazy, I'd probably fall of." I said laughing slightly.
He smiles. "Cool, well I'm above you, and Zion's across you."
I look over to Nick pointing across the bunk. There laid Zion.
Zion looks up from his phone, waving. "Hey neighbor."
"The rest of us are more upfront, Nick and Zion like the back for more privacy." Brandon says.
I raise my brows. 'Privacy huh?'
"Not like that!" Nick said quickly looking at my facial expression.
"What he means is, we sleep in more. Back here it's not as loud." He says.
I raise my hands. "Hey it's cool, no judgement. I don't mind what goes on back here honestly, as long as no one sleeps in my bunk."
They laugh at my statement. "No promises." Nick says cheekily.
"We'll let you get settled in, come up to the lounge when you're done." Nick smiles.
They walk away leaving me to my bunk, and my "neighbor" Zion.
I glance to see him still on his phone, his thumb scrolling.
I smile, this was really happening. I know I said I'd freak out about it later, but it's later.
"What's got you so smiley?"
I turn to see the voice belonged to Zion. "Oh nothing much, it's just so surreal to me."
"How so?" He asks, his phone now off.
I look at him in a haze. "I've dreamed of dancing on stage for as long as I can remember. The feeling of adrenaline, the energy from the crowd, the applause, all of it really. And now I can say this is just the start of it—my dream. Cheesy I know, but it's true."
I feel a bit of heat rush to my face, I just had to babble.
I peak to look at Zion who seemed in thought.
"That's cool though, the way you talk about your dreams. Not many think the way you do. You have an ambition, many don't in the industry." He says.
I smile at him. "Thanks, sorry for rambling like that."
He smiles back. "Nah don't stress it, I'll see you up front yeah?"
I nod, a trace of smile still on my lips. As I continue getting situated, I see his retrieving figure heading towards his friends.
Finishing I head towards the front to see the guys either on their phones, or playing Fortnite.
I plop down next to Austin, watching him play the game.
I pull out my phone to see it flooded with notifications and text.

I respond back with a thank you, also assuring him I would watch both performances.
While the dance session seemed long, in realty it wasn't all that bad.
I reply back to a few important messages, by that I mean my family. Just messages along the lines of congratulating me.
"Someone's popular today huh?"
Looking up I'm faced with Brandon.
I let out a laugh. "Oh yeah, not everyday you go on tour with Khalid."
He laughs. "I get you completely, all settled?"
I nod. "Yeah, not too bad."
"Good, um have you ate anything?" He questions.
"Honestly no, busy day I guess you can say." I said.
"Well we're stopping now for food. McDonald's is the best you're going to get though." He says, a hand rubbing behind his neck.
"McDonald's is cool, it's fine." I smile.
"Great, common." He says.
We usher out of the bus, being told it's got to be a quick stop. Austin even stopped playing to grab a bite.
"So Nessa, hows the tour life." Edwin asks.
"So far not bad, just excited for tomorrow." I respond.
"Why's that?" He asks opening the door.
"Dance session, so I'm ready for it." I say.
"Really? Sounds fun. They're cool the dancers, so don't stress nothing." He smiles.
I let out a little breathe. "I needed that, I was stressing not going to lie."
"Nah don't be, if you see Trent tell the man Edwin says hey." He laughs.
"You bet." I smile.
After everyone received their food we headed back to bus.
"Yo! I got an idea." Nick says.
"What?" Austin asks.
"I say we get to know our little guest of honor, Nessa here, with a good game of never have I ever." He grins.
They all look at me waiting for my reply.
"Why not." I say.
The guys do a little cheer getting closer together for the game. It won't be that bad right?

Sorry for the long wait, but I'm blessing you guys with 5 new chapters so hopefully it makes up for it. There's still some slight awkwardness between them all but it'll go away soon after the game. Thanks for reading! Lmk if you guys like it so far, or if it's really bad lol xx - R 💛
