An interviewers guide

Concert in a flash

Diego's POV
Aaliyah was for sure a baddie and the fact that she presented herself so well showed how mush respect she has.

I was pulled from my train of thought when my manager stat ran up. "Diego what are you doing. You're on in 3 minutes!" He said with a frantic look on his face.

"Sorry bruh, I just lost track of time." I said as I made my way to the side of the stage to get my mic and head out.

As I made my way out onto the stage I began to get that adrenaline rush that I loved so much.

Aaliyah's POV
As the concert began I patiently waited for the xanarchy gang to hit the stage. I took the time to get the feel on the crowed and to take in the setting.

The concert began and Xan started out with color blind. The way he moved on stage was so energizing and fun that I admired him for it.
As he finished up his set with betrayed I began to make my way over to the side of the stage again to find Pay.

"Hey! How was it for you?!" I said as I saw Payton smoking a blunt in the lounge area.

"Oh my god bitch that was so lit!! You truly are the best for inviting me." She said with so much enthusiasm.

"Yeah no problem! It really was a lot of fun." I said as I began to get my Mac book out of my backpack.

"I'm glad you had a good time girl from the bay." My head shot up as I heard those words. And standing before me was Lil Xan with a smirk plastered on his face.

I smiled up at him," yeah you guys really put on a good show."

I set my computer up and looked over at him. "Do you mind answering a couple questions?"

"Not at all ma." He said while grabbing a backwood off the table and sparking it up.

"So Lil Xan how did you come up with that as your name? Some fans think it's because your real name is Alexander and some say it's after the prescription drug Xanax?"  I asked while typing.

"No my real name isn't Alexander it's Diego, and the name Lil Xan does come from the drug Xanax. Its not in a way towards where I'm saying it's cool to do xans, it's actually the opposite." He said with such confidence that I admired.

I continued to ask questions about his music and his friends who are also involved in the xanarchy gang.

"I think I got everything I need thank you so much again for talking with me." I said as I was putting my stuff away.

"Yeah no problem now that the interviewing is over did you wanna come kick it in the back lounge and smoke? I'm pretty sure your friend is already back there." He said with a seemingly hopeful smile on his face.

"Yeah I guess I could hangout for a little bit." I said looking at my phone to see the time, noticing it was only 10:00pm.

I fallowed him to the back lounge and sure enough Payton was there sitting next to Steven with a backwood in between her fingers.

"Aaliyah bitch you gotta hit this shit!" She stated practically throwing the backwood at me.

I looked over at Steven to make sure it was cool that I hit it, because no one wants to be the bitch who bums weed off people. He nodded his head and with that permission I inhaled the hunny bourbon backwood.

After two hits i passed it to Diego who was looking at me with a smile.

I passed the backwood to him and the whole time we didn't break eye contact. Looking in his eyes made me feel like we had some kind of unspoken bond or something.

The silence was broken between us when Payton was calling me over to her on the couch. So I walked over and took a seat next to her.

"What's up?" I asked looking at her while she was looking at different snap filters.

"Take a snap with me bitch!" She practically yelled while laughing because she was so stoned.

I obliged and leaned in.

The next couple hours were spent with Payton flirting with Steven, and me just conversating  with everyone else.

"So Aaliyah you live around here?" Diego asked taking a drag off his blunt.

"Yeah, I actually live a few minutes away from here." Stated while sitting forward.

"Nice, you seem hella chill we should kick it more. Who knows you could become an official member of the xanarchy crew." He said with a goofy smile on his face.

"Hey I might just take you up on that offer." I said as I began to stand up.

"Where you goin ma?" He said with a look of confusion on his face.

"I should get going, it's getting kinda late and I still have to finish this rough draft."

"Well, can I at least get your number so we can do this again?" He said with a sly smile.

"Sure" I took his phone and put my number in. I gave it back to him and turned around to grab my backpack and make my way to the door with Payton.
