The Concert chapter 1 part 2

 Original story written by: Marit Worms

"Go on." Naomi and Jasmine grabbed my arm and pulled me into the building before I could reply to the guard. “Come on! Let’s go get the best spots!" Naomi exclaimed impatiently.


We got reasonably good spots and the girls were happily singing along to the music while I moved a bit to the melody. The band was live better than I expected. Fascinated, I watched how the performers were dancing and maintained their singing. I pulled on Jasmine's sleeve. She looked at me questioningly. "I'm going to get something to drink, do you want some too?" Jasmine nodded happily. "A Coke is fine!" Jasmine nudged Naomi. Naomi's brown hair stuck in strands across her face and her green eyes looked at me hotly. So, she's completely absorbed in the music! "I’ll have an orange soda", she shouted. The song ended and there was a deafening cheer. The next song soon started as I tried to push my way through the obsessed crowd. Whenever a camera was zoomed in on one of the band members, there was loud cheering and I was pushed back and forth. Smoke was blown from the smoke machines and suddenly the whole hall filled with many stars in the sky. I even forgot about the screams around me. I laughed and turned around to look around the room in admiration. It was like standing in the galaxy itself. A sudden push in my back took me back from my thoughts. I tumbled forward and had to make an effort to stay upright and before I could stand firmly on my feet again, I was pushed into the front of the rack. In front of me was one of the band members, who, while singing, stepped into the path separating the crowd and the stage. With a cheerful smile he looked at me with his dark eyes. I bet the amazement could be seen on my face. He smiled and came to me. But his smile didn't seem real. He reached out to me and I gently felt his fingers caress my cheek. My cheeks began to tingle and the young's smile widened. Confused, I shook my head and slapped his hand away. Hands off! But the boy quickly grabbed it. My surprise made way for irritation. What a jerk! Just let me get my drink, I don't feel like this hassle. I pulled my hand free and turned around. The girls standing next to me looked at me with big jealous eyes, muttering things like "lucky guy". Whatever. Somehow I felt a little guilty because the girls were all fans and I wasn't. If only it had happened to one of them, the guy would at least have made someone happy with it. Not sure what had just happened, I made my way through the crowd again to get to the bar. When I had gotten my drinks I turned around and started the return my journey with my drinks hold tight. There was another deafening roar, but it did not dawn on me, my head was with my parents. When I got home I couldn't tell them what it was like, and Aunt Elena would probably be working in the hospital, so I was home alone again. The band walked to the center of the hall through the extended section of the stage, and then ran back. Sweat dripped from their faces as they looked at each other with a smile. They were all handsome indeed. One of the guys started rapping like crazy. Hey! That was the boy from not so long ago! His eyes met mine, and he started to smile.
