Ana And I Settled Into The Hotel Room

I hurried to get dressed with a black shirt with the sleeves rolled up past my cast. I also wore a red tie and black skinny jeans. I could only sing so we had to use the track guitar. Last thing I had to do was my vocal warmups. I finished and went to the side of the stage. My mind was swirled with thoughts as the video ran and our cue was said to go on stage. My microphone was on me and I was as ready as I was ever going to be. We all ran on stage and started to play. We started with undisclosed desires. Since I didn’t have my guitar to play it gave me a chance to rest and just

"I...I'm Marcie," the girl introduced herself, nervously, deciding, for now, to be happy that it wasn't what she feared.

“Shut up, Alec. Tessa, this is Alec, my pain in the ass cousin.” I waved as a way of greeting. Talking would just hurt too much right now.

After that session we all decided to go to the monkeys concert later that night. We weren’t going to watch and or listen to the monkeys! We were going to go mess with the people actually going to the concert! Later that night we made the drive from Long Island down to Queens. We made it outside the monkeys concert just laughing and pointing at the monkey fans. We meant some people doing the same thing. So we met up with a couple guys named Eric and Dan. Both high school students from the outskirts of Queens. Eric told us that there is a Rolling Stones concert down at Shea Stadium right now. They said they would of went but it was sold out. The concert started at 8:00, at the moment it was 5:00. Archie and Jimmy really wanted to go the concert so didn’t all of us but there was no way we were going to get in the venue without a

We could hear the crowd chatting behind the dark red curtain. We looked at each other with big grins, and I could tell Neill was nervous because he was sweating really bad although, so were Greg and I. A voice came over the sound system and it said “without further ado put your hands together for the The Whippersnappers.” The curtain opened slowly and the place was filled to the brim with people. I felt a feeling so undescribable in the pit of my stomach. It didn't hurt but it did feel weird. Greg introduced the band, surprisingly calm, and we played our first song, Going Down This Road Feeling Bad. We got such a huge applause I thought I could feel the air from the crowds clapping. After playing our whole list we did a bow and walked proudly off the stage. We were so happy about how it went we couldn't stop smiling! We got paid and the place gave us a free pepperoni pizza, which tasted really good. We talked about the next practice and what we should work on. We agreed that Greg's guitar was too loud, and Neill’s bass was too quiet. We fixed those problems really easily. And a couple days later, we had a bar owner in Indianapolis ask us to play there. We were all very happy. We think that this band couldn't work together any better than we already. We are currently still a band and we are all three good

"I did not know you would be coming!" Sophia said. Her voice was only loud enough to

“Oh, hey Evie! Glad you could come!” My friend April laughed and ran over to me.

"She's here, She's here" his voice held excitement with every word he spoke. Everyone quickly turned their heads towards my direction. In a moment they are all running to my direction , engulfing me in tights hugs

“So quick to assume,” he breathed out, voice rumbling slightly as he stepped closer. “Though, in her defense, she always was a rather private person.”

“Quite a friend you got there.” Sabra teased. “They left and now you’re all alone, if you know something, I’d suggest you speak now.”

"Ooh, who's this?" Quinn Hadley said a little too excitedly. She ran up to an awkward Reed and an equally excited Marlene.

"Uh...can I talk to you?" A voice you didn't expect to hear made itself present.

"I don't understand, these are all people from school." Cassady spoke out. "I thought you said you could find me someone who would help me, Melbourne?"

“Likewise.” I wasn’t happy about giving him my sweaty palm but he sort of threw me off balance. I didn’t expect that. “Elsa, my name’s Elsa.”

After about 10 minutes of this excruciating awkwardness we were able to proceed inside to look at some information boards. 99.9% of the boards included something about music...I am not musically inclined what so ever. Next, we were invited to sit in on a student lead presentation. The presentation started off with a cheesy video of some students dancing around the campus to ¨Uptown funk¨. The next hour and a half were filled with girl talking about her ultimate frisbee team, and another boy talking about his success with theater and the chess club he started. Let’s just say that I would have fallen asleep if it wasn’t for the subzero temperatures in the lecture hall we were seated in. Then, we broke into smaller groups and were drug around the campus for a tour. There was another girl in my group. I decided to be nice and start up a conversation with the girl. I
