You're The One// Jake Kiszka

Who Am I?

'Another day at this dead end job...' I thought to myself. I was working at the snack bar in a roller rink filled with screaming children. I was sitting looking at the clock ticking by, went to the front and asked if I could punch out.

"So Lex, I heard you're going to a concert for your birthday? Who're you seeing?" Kenny asked. He worked with me, and he had a big crush on me. I wasn't into him, but he was nice to talk to. By now I was punched out and I wanted to run, but I didn't want to be rude.

"I'm going to see this band called Greta Van Fleet. They're kind of like a throwback band, but in this age." I was fiddling with my keys when he wished me a happy 21st birthday.

"Thanks..." I responded. I just couldn't wait to leave. I got into my car, put on some Greta, and drove back to my house.

As soon as I got home, I looked for an outfit to wear tomorrow. It was late, but I didn't want to feel rushed.

"I think I'll go for the 'Jake Kiszka' look." I said to myself. I grabbed my striped pants, Chelsea boots, a plain black shirt, and this fringed jacket that my dad had given to me a while ago.

"That's going to be great." I murmured. I had to make an impression, since the venue was somewhat small. I wanted them to notice me, especially since I'll be in the front row all three nights they were playing, thanks to my best friend Sage. I have bright yellow hair, so that shouldn't be too difficult. I couldn't believe I was seeing these boys on my birthday. I quickly shot Sage a text before I went to bed.

Me: Goodnight, I'm sooo excited for tomorrow! Thanks for the tickets b ❤️
Sage: of course! now get some sleep... maybe Jake will be interested 😉😂
Me: Well if you're gonna tease me like that, then I can say the same about you and Josh
Sage: S T O P. You know how I get ugh. Goodnight!
Me: 😂 goodnight Sage, I'll see ya tomorrow.

I clicked off my phone and dozed off quite quickly, thinking about the day (well, days) to come...
