My alarm music started playing loudly reminding me that today is the day today I'm meeting the 1975 at the signing, the time was 6am and I still had to get ready and straighten my hair Carla my best friend had slept over and we had to walk to the bus soon so we could be one of the first 150 people at the signing. We did our makeup and I put on my ripped black jeans, a white shirt and a denim jacket and headed down stairs to eat breakfast.
After eating breakfast we walked to the bus stop we caught the first bus taking us to the city. This was the first time since the 1975 had become well known that they had come to Australia and as expected when we got to the signing it looked like there were 150 people there. Shit.
We made our way to the back of the line and sat down just hoping that we would make the cut. It was 8am and we had to wait until 3pm before they started the signing. The group next to us were what looked like 5 girls aged 15 and an older male with goldish hair who looked about 18.
"Arcadia oh my god this is actually happening I am freaking out holy shit..." Carla blubbered getting nervous that we were finally meeting our all time favourite band.
"Carla calm down they won't like it if you sound to obsessed with them" I said back making her rambling stop. Carla was very pretty she had blonde hair, blue eyes and her legs were long. She actually had a chance with one of them as she had just turned 20 and was gorgeous. I on the other hand have long brown wavy hair, olive skin and I only just turned 18. Never the less I would totally hook up with them if they liked me.
We waited in line for ages and it was 2pm when a guy who worked in jbhifi where the signing was taking place started making his way down the line handing sheets of paper with numbers on them to people. It was so stressful because we had no idea if we were gonna make it into the first 150. He gave out numbers to the girls and boy in front of us and my heart starting beating when he only tore of one slip and handed it to Carla leaving me empty handed and Carla with a peice of paper reading 150. Holy shit.
"um hey what why did I not get one? I have been here since 8 and I'm so tired and i really want to meet them" I spoke my voice raising aswell as my anger.
"that would just be unfair to the people behind you" he motioned to the 15 or so people behind us. I almost had tears as I was so excited to meet them and my hope was just crushed.
The people next to us were now all listening in. The guy who was handing out the card walked further down the line telling the people there that they were not in the 150 people who were able to meet them. I turned to Carla and she gave me a hug I was so disapointed that I wasn't gonna meet them.
"hey" I heard a voice from next to us I turned my head revealing the guy who was sitting with the group of girls. "I like the 1975 but I'm mainly here for my sister so that my mum would let her go so if your like you can have my ticket" he said nicely.
"are you sure? I would feel so bad taking your place" I said back I really wanted this ticket but I felt so bad just taking his as he had waited all this time and even longer then us.
"it's totally fine, here" he said passing me his ticket which read 149. "I'm ashton by the way" he reached over and shook my hand.
"thankyou so much, I'm arcadia" I said he was so cute and had really nice green eyes.
"shit that's an awesome name! Hey would it be ok if I have your number seeing as I gave you my ticket" wow he is smooth, I though to myself as I reached for my phone and we swapped numbers.
The line soon started to move get shorter and shorter until we were right near the entrance about to meet them. Carla and I had planned out what kind of smiles we will have when we take photos wuthcthem and also what we would say to them. I was seriously gonna pee my pants they let ten people in at a time and it was now our turn to go inside as we walked I saw the four of them sitting down and my heart started pounding the girls before us went and then it was our turn and seeing as we were the last two people they didn't mind if we had extra time.
" hi" is all I could chocke out I felt so dumb standing there basically shaking from being so excited. Luckily Carla came to the rescue and started talking which made me feel so much more comfortable.
"I almost got cut off the line" I explained to matty and George as Carla was talking to adam and ross. " but there was this really nice guy infront of us who gave me his ticket"
"aw that's so sweet" matty said in his panty dropping accent. "do you have his number? We should call him"
I dialled Ashton's number and put him on speaker " hello?" he said from the other end.
"ashton it's arcadia from the line matty said we should call you and say thanks" I said to him.
"ey ashton listen we have spare front row tickets to our show next week you can have them and take this lovely lady" george said to ashton making my mouth drop george just called me lovely holy shit I can't breath goerge fucking daniel just called me lovely.
"seriously? Thanks bro I'll cya guys soon " I hang up and talked to the boys for ages after and even exchanged numbers, so that we could hang out sometime while they are in Sydney.
