secret singer

Chapter 1

|Kenzie pov|

     I'm currently chilling in bed scrolling through instagram, when a post on my explore page catches my eye. Oh wait right, you're probably wondering who I am. My name's Mackenzie Frances Ziegler. I go by Kenzie though.  I'm 19 years old and I live in Cali with my best friends Lexi and Brynn. I take online college classes. It's just easier that way.

     What some people don't know is I actually sing. I've posted a few things online but I've kept myself anonymous.  Anyways, now Lexi and Brynm are gone and I'm, as I said, chilling in bed, scrolling through instagram. I see a post catch my eye. He had dirty blonde hair and green eyes. He was posing with a girl with bangs, and also dirty blonde hair and green eyes. And a kid with Hazel eyes and curly hair.

     The caption read: "Y'all should meet us on tour👊💕🤠 @LaurenOrlando88 @HaydenSummerall link in bio" Johnny Orlando?? Sounds a bit familiar. Holy crap he's that singer. I've heard his music before. He's really good.

     I realized I wasn't following him so I clicked follow and went to move on. I had just recorded me singing the song "Don't start now" by Dua Lipa. It's a really good song. I decided to post it after listening to it and deciding it was good enough. Suddenly the door burst open. I look over to see the one and only Lexi and Brynn.

     "Hey guys. Nice to see you again, where were you this morning?" I greet. I woke up and neither of them were here. "We went out earlier to uhhhh-" Brynn starts, getting cut off by the loud as always, Lexi. "Weeeeee went to see that Carson guy Brynn's been talking too." She sings, while also yelling at the same time.

     "What?!" I shout in offense "I wasn't invited! I wanna meet the infamous Carson you talk oh so much about." I tease her, and she blushes red. "Oh shut up." Brynn says, sitting on the bed next to me. "So who wants to go shopping with me? Because I need new clothesssss"

     "I'll go." I say. I haven't left the house all day. "I'm in too, I need a new swimsuit for the beach next week." Lexi agrees. I jump up, brushing my hair out and changing into a purple tie dye cropped top and sweats. Slipping on my air force ones, I follow Lexi to Brynn's car.

     Once we got to the mall we went to Urban, Forever 21, Pink, and lastly we stopped at Starbucks. We ordered our drinks and I got a phone call from my mom. "One sec guys, I'll be back. It's my mom." I say to them, walking out of the shop. "Hey mom, what's up?" I ask, pressing accept.

     "Hey sweetie, how are you doing??" She asks me. "I'm good mom, how are you?? Hows Maddie??" I ask, questioning her on my family. "I'm pretty good. Maddie's good. Her and Jack have been spending a lot of time together. But she misses you, so do I." She says, making me give a small sad smile, making a face that says "aww"

     "I miss you too mom. Aww Jaddie." I fangirl over my sister and her boyfriend. "Speaking of Jack, how's he?" "Jack's good. Yeah he definitely misses you as much as the rest of us." My mom responds. Jack's like an older brother to me. Him and Maddie have been dating for around a year.

     "Love that for him" I say, giggling. "Well, tell him I miss him too, and Maddie, and Maliboo." "I will sweetie. Well, I was just calling to check up on you, how're Brynn and Lexi?" She asks. Brynn's like the third daughter she never had and Lexi's like family.

"They're good. We're just shopping right now. Brynn complained that she needed more clothes again." I say, causing us to both chuckle. "Okay well, just wanted to check in, I'll leave you to you're shopping. Love you, Kenzie." She says.

     "Love you too, momma. I'll talk to you later, bye." I say and she hangs up. I smile to myself, caught off guard, I turn to walk back into Starbucks. Suddenly a hard impact hits my chest and I fall over, caught by someone's free hand. I look up to see a boy with pretty, parted hair and green eyes, pulling me back up.

     I blink again, trying to figure out where he looks familiar from. I just sigh standing up. I look down to see my coffee stained shirt. "Shit I'm so sorry." The voice says. Wow his voice is like really calming. "No you're okay, it's my fault, I wasn't paying attention." I say, brushing the dust from the floor off my sweatpants.

     "I feel bad." He says, and I chuckle.
"Its okay. Really, I have more clothes. Plus I'm in a mall I can go buy a new shirt," I say, and hold out my hand "I'm Kenzie." "Uhhh," He stutters and scratches the back of his neck nervously. "I'm Johnny."

     "Nice to meet you." I say, looking down at the coffee spilled on the ground. "Let me buy you a new coffee??" I offer, considering I caused him to spill his everywhere. "Oh no its okay. It's my fault." He says, shaking his head. "Come on, I'll buy you a new one." I say.

     "If you insist." He shrugs. "Does that mean I need to buy you a new shirt??" He chuckles and I shake my head. "Nah. I made this out of an old tank top and I tie dyed it. It's no big deal." I say, picking up the coffee cup off the ground and walking in to buy him a new one.

     "Uhhh can I get a-" I stop myself and turn back to Johnny. "A Grande caramel macchiato?" He says and I nod to the barista. Soon the drink comes back and I hand it to him. "Your coffee, sir." I say, slightly bowing and handing it to him, chuckling.

     "Why thank you" He says in a goofy voice. "I feel like I should pay you." "No, I already told you, it's okay. I got it." I say, shaking my head. "Well my friends are waiting for me over there, Johnny, so I should probably go." "Uhh yeah. My sister is probably waiting for me outside. It was nice meeting you, Kenzie." Johnny says, and I nod. "Nice to meet you too!" I shout after him and hurry over to Lexi and Brynn.
