An interviewers guide

Interview time

Aaliyah's POV
As we pulled up to the venue and found parking I noticed the line to get in was already so long. Thankfully in a job like mine I get VIP Early entry passes so I can just skip the line.

We flashed our passes to the security guard and he let us in no problem. Usually my next step would be to find lil Xans manager and talk to him about the interview process but I decided since he's a newer artist it'll be an article based on my experience at his concert and he probably won't know about it until it gets published.

We made our way to the side of the stage so I could find a good place to sit and type out the rough draft. Within a few minutes people were starting to poor in the venue. I began typing about the crowed and the crazy energy his show was giving off.

I was pulled from my typing when I noticed Payton was standing next to me talking to someone. Leave it to her to already make a friend.

"And this is my friend Aaliyah." I heard before fully looking away from my screen up at her and the strangers.

She was talking to a guy with and Ann frank tattoo on his face and Steve cannon. "Hi it's nice to meet you guys." I said shaking both of their hands. I mine as well take this time to get some scoop about the xanarchy gang.

"So you guys fans?" Steven asked us while smiling at pay.
"We are but I'm also here because I'm writing an article on the whole xanarchy movement. I write for LA times." "Ahh stat said that there was going to be an interviewer here today, Diego will be hyped to know it's not another dude this time." He said throwing a wink at me. I just laughed it off and took the opportunity to ask some questions.

"So Steven, Arnold, what does xanarchy mean to you guys?" I asked while typing notes on my Mac book. Right as they were going to answer Lil Xan walked over and just as he was about to say something to the two boys I looked up from my computer and our eyes met.

For a few solid seconds we just stared at each other. I could feel my face start to get warm as his eyes practically burned holes in my skin. I looked back down at my computer breaking our gaze hoping I didn't just make it obvious that I thought he was attractive.

"Steven are you ready to go warm up? The show starts in 20." Lil Xan said his eyes slowly met mine again as realization hit him that I'm interviewing his best friend right now.

"Sorry I didn't mean to interrupt! " he said with a look of worry that I might add that he was pushy or something in the article.

"Not a problem I can just finish after you guys go on! " I said smiling. I stood up shaking Steven and Arnold's hands again. "Thank you again for talking with me! Have a great show. " I said as I began to put my Mac book back in my backpack.

" yeah no problem. After the show if you wanna stick around we can finish up?" Steven added
"Yeah definitely, just let me know whenever you guys are ready." I started putting my backpack on my back and getting ready to head into the crowd to get the whole experience.

I looked to my left to see Pay taking a selfie with Xan and noticed he was already looking right at me, it made me blush a bit honestly.

I walked over to them to let her know where I was going.
"Hey pay im gunna go try and get a good
Spot in the crowd did you wanna come or stay back here?" I said feeling lil xans eyes on me.
"I'm gunna stay side stage and smoke with the boys if that's cool?" She said referring to the xanarchy gang. " yeah no problem I'll be in the crowd to get the full experience." I said getting ready to turn around.

" make sure you're careful out there by yourself ma, that shit can be crazy sometimes." Xan said with a smirk on his face.

"I'll be okay, I grew up in the Bay Area so I'm used to crazy ass crowds at a concerts." I said with pride to be from the bay as a shot him a smirk.

I gave Pay a quick hug and made my way back into the general population with a smile on my face from the way Xan stared at me.
