P.O.V EMILY

Nervously I walk around. We are backstage and in 5 hours the concert starts. Me and four other girls are going to dance in the concert of Shawn Mendes. How cool is that!? Everybody is really nervous. Excited faces and shaky legs. Waiting for the big moment...

The last weeks we did nothing but practising, practising and practising. The rehearsals were really heavy and a nightmare. Five days a week, two hours a day practicing and school beside that. I didn't sleep.
Kira and I are opening. After that the three other girls come along and we dance at the huge stage. The first weeks it was really hard to get used to each other. Everyone found it really exciting and a bit weird. But tonight... tonight we are dancing on stage, next to Shawn himself. How amazing is that?! We couldn't tell anybody, because it is a surprise of Shawn himself.

The dance is on one of his newest songs: If I can't have you. It is already a surprise he's gonna perform this song, so we couldn't say anything. A new message on my phone. Since I uploaded some dancevideos, it is growing really fast. Now I have 2k followers. After this evening that could be so much more. The tense looks around me are getting worse. Soon we can do the last practise on stage. Sadly without Shawn, but that's fine. I just became dancecaptain (OMG) so I am definitely going to meet Shawn!


P.O.V SHAWN

Five hours till the concert starts. I'm sitting on the sofa in my dressing room and I scroll through my Instagram feed, again. In a couple minutes the dancers are going to practise one more time, and I'm going to take a sneak preview just to look how it goes. The captain, Emily will meet me here in my dressing room, just to chat about the show. I look at the note that's on my table. It is the note with the Instagram account name and the phonenumber of Emily. In the search bar I type in her name and immediatly I find her dansaccount. I scroll down the page and I find a picture of her. "Showtime!" says the caption. She has a beautiful smile and shining blue eyes. The only thing I can do is smile. This girl is really cute.

Outside I hear some fans screaming. I get up and take a look out of the window. Indeed, a few girls are on the other side of the road, screaming and waving. I grin and wave back. Man, this is insane. I close the window to keep all the noises outside. Four hours and thirty minutes left, Shawn. Come on. I open the door of my dressing room and walk into the girl from the Instagram account. My heart bounces,she is even more beautiful in real life!
