"This is Brandon on 97.2 Hits NZ."
I sighed before turning down the volume on my radio, trying to focus on a blank page which was supposed to be filled with words from my Science Report that's due tomorrow. Maybe I should have at least started it considering I was given it two weeks ago. Better take a day off school tomorrow because no way in hell I'm going to get this finished.
"But first we have an exciting announcement for all you 5SOS fans out there."
A voice spoke quietly from out of my radio. Quickly, my hand shot out and turned up the volume on my radio.
"Hits NZ is thrilled to announce that we have a final front row 5 Seconds Of Summer ticket for their show on Thursday night in Auckland to give away!"
"WHAT!" I screamed and sat quietly beside the radio. I had to win these tickets! I'd tried to win tickets to the concert through the radio, magazines and giveaways online - with no success.
"All you have to do is listen out for when we play Don't Stop tonight and be the 20th caller! So get your phones ready! After the ads we have some One Direction, Nicki Minaj and Demi Lovato to play. This is Hits NZ."
I turned the volume up on my radio even more. I mean even though I knew they would play Don't Stop later in the night because they want more listeners to the station, I. WAS. NOT. GOING. TO. LOSE. AGAIN.
I raced into the lounge and grabbed my phone charger out of the socket next to the couch. Then I grabbed some food because 1. I was hungry and 2. I was not leaving the radio's side tonight. Even if a fire broke out in my house. I'm so desperate for these tickets, I'd risk burning alive to win them.
The ads were still playing as I entered the room. I chucked the food on my bed and started charging my phone. I mean, what if it died while they told me I had win. I'd die along with it. Like who wouldn't.
"You're like perfection, some kind of holiday." My favourite song blasted out of the speakers. My hands shook as I quickly dialed the number on my phone. I should have been waiting with my phone next to the radio the whole time, I scolded myself.
I pressed the call button. *Beep Beep Beep*
Hit redial
*Beep Beep Beep*
"Asked for your number, said you don't have a phone." The song continued playing.
*Ring Ring*
"Hello you have reached Hits NZ! Who's this?"
"Um I'm Kia," I said as I unplugged the charger from my phone,
"Well Kia, could you hold the line? I will put you on air in a minute!"
"Y-yeah! Sure." I replied, my voice coming out shakier than I'd wanted it to.
I couldn't believe I had just won tickets to 5 SECONDS OF SUMMER! I could hear Don't Stop playing through the phone so I turned the volume down completely on my radio. My focus at the moment was completely on every utter sound coming out of my IPhone 4. Suddenly, the beautiful voices that were singing stopped as the song came to an end.
Butterflies filled my stomach even though all I was going to do was talk on a phone. And have heaps of people that are listening hear my voice. Oh fuck. Faintly through the phone, I heard a voice speak,
"That was Don't Stop by 5 Seconds of Summer and in case you didn't know, that was the que to call for the Hits NZ final 5SOS ticket giveaway for their concert in Auckland on Thursday. Sorry if you missed out but everyone knows, there must only be one winner!
On the line we have three lucky callers!"
