Chapter 1


The sounds of fans milling around the arena were becoming louder and louder by the second as more of them arrived? Most of them were 
going into the door which their tickets told them to, but a few were waiting at the gates towards the side of the arena, although it was 
impossible for them to be able to see the band or meet them now. The show was due to start in an hour, and you knew yourself that the 
band had already arrived. Screams and singing were all around you, and you glanced at the faces stood near to you. You were burning inside. 
You knew something they didn't...your eyes were fixed on the door to the arena, which presumably lead backstage.  
 
was standing by your side, nervously looking at the door too. You had to speak in hushed voices, so that other fans wouldn't catch on 
and instantly start spreading rumours. The plan you had made would cancel out any rumours, you hoped. A rush of nerves suddenly came 
over you. It was cold outside, and dark. This added to your state, making you shiver even more.  
 
"I....I can't do it!!!" You said to your friend. "WHAT?" She exclaimed. "Keep your voice down. I can't do it. I just can't...I'm just made to be 
a fan. Look at the state of me." You said, slowly starting to walk backwards. She put her hand on you shoulder. "Don't be so silly. Look at 
these people. Look" She demanded. You did as she said. People were looking at all of the cars and vans parked backstage, they were holding 
banners for their idols and starting up chants. "What wouldn't they give to be in your position?" She said, concluding your thoughts. "And 
you look gorgeous, you really do. The mascara brings out your eyes, the lippy is fab, and your clothes look great. I don't do a Fashion and 
Beauty course for nothing you know." She said smiling.  
 
You smiled too. "We can walk away hun. We can get into the car and go. But think of what we'd of left behind. Every single time we saw 
them, we'd be wondering what could of happened, wouldn't we?" She asked. You nodded. "So the only thing we can do so we don't regret 
this is...." "....get our butts in there!!!!" You finished "Indeed! Good, don't be nervous. But, if you are, have some of this" She said, letting go 
of your shoulder and placing her bustling bag down on the ground. She crouched down and rummaged through it, pulling out a coke bottle 
but it wasn't full of coke alone!!! You laughed. "I always come prepared. Drink" You took it and drank most of it down. Straight away, your 
nerves flew out of your body, replaced by a high feeling. You looked at each other and burst into giggles.

"This is soooo exciting!" You said to her. A few people looked at you in confusion, wondering what could be so good about standing in the 
freezing cold, observing stationary vehicles. "I know! But keep it down hun. We're not dreaming are we - oh, oh hell he�s there! She said, 
lowering her voice. Butterflies filled your stomach as you saw Johnny approaching!!  
 
"BUSTA" He came up to the fence. A few fans started to throw questions at him, but he ignored them. This was it. You andpushes 
past the fans who were at the fence. He winked at you, so you must of looked okay. You tried to speak, but your voice was stuck in your 
throat. You swallowed, gulped some air and tried again. "Hi uncle! Thanks for letting me and my friends backstage." You said nudging 
when she stifled a laugh. Fans glared at you but you didn't care.  
 
"That's okay." He said unlocking the gate which the cars drove through. He opened it a tiny bit and you both squeezed through it. "How's 
ya mum doing?" He said in a loud voice so everyone would hear. He started to walk off to the door you'd been staring at and you both 
followed linking arms. Both of you were shaking. "She's fine!" You said, and as you were far away from the fans you all burst out laughing. 
He was at the door now. It said 'Backstage' on it, and hew entered a PIN number. The light turned green and he placed his hand 
on the handle.  
 
"andcan't wait to meet you." He said with a cheeky grin, He opened the door and the warm air greeted you. "We can't wait to 
meet them...." You both said at the same time, stepping inside the corridor and wondering what would happen now...
