| Chapter 1: Yeah Right �Oh my god! I can�t believe we actually got tickets! Front row tickets!� my little sister Kayla exclaimed. �I never thought we�d get front row,� her best friend Kassandra remarked. �See, I told you if we went to the arena to get tickets they�d be good,� Juliet, the third in the group, stated. �You guys are eight-teen. Aren�t you a little old to be obsessing over the Backstreet Boys?� I questioned. �Oh hush Eve. Besides, you�re twenty and you�re the one who offered to take us,� Kayla responded. �No. I�m taking you because none of you have a car and I do,� I stated. �Besides, you know I�m not into that stuff.� �Oh yeah, cause Korn and Limp Bizkit are, like, mad cool,� she mimicked. �Fred Durst. Now there is a hottie,� I said. �Okay, stop arguing. I want to go home and brag to Alex that I�m going to the concert and she�s not,� Kassandra said. �Alright, lets get going,� I said. The ride from the Pepsi Arena in Albany, back home to Rochester was a long one and I wasn�t about to be stuck listening to three obsessive teenage girls singing along to the Backstreet Boys, so I pulled out my head phones and put in the new Limp Bizkit cd. That�s much better, I thought as I started the long drive back to Rochester. I can�t believe I�m going to a Backstreet Boys concert, I kept thinking the whole way home. I must be crazy. At about five p.m. I pulled into our driveway. The long ride home had put the three girls to sleep. They�ve had way too much excitement for one day, I thought as I turned off the car and got out. I walked up the side walk and in the front door. �Mom, we�re home,� I yelled up the stairs. �So did you get good seats?� she asked. �I better let Kayla tell you. She should be coming in soon. She, Juliet and Kassandra fell asleep and I didn�t want to wake them. They�ve had too much excitement,� I said reaching the computer room at the top of the stairs. �Well, I can guarantee that they are about to become even more excited,� my mom said with a large smile. �What do you mean?� I asked. �You�ll see,� she said. Two seconds later the front door burst open and the three girls came running up the stairs. �Front row,� Kayla screamed, out of breath. �That�s great honey! I have some good news. A friend of mine is a security guard at the Blue Cross Arena. Well, he just got transferred to the Pepsi Arena and guess what he got the four of you?� she exclaimed. �What?� the four of us said in unison. �Meet and Greet passes!� she gushed. �I can�t believe it!� Kassandra shrieked. �Mom, you�re the best,� Kayla cried. �Mrs. Johns, you are so cool,� Juliet exclaimed. �Aren�t you excited Evie?� my mom asked when I didn�t jump up and down like everyone else. �Yeah, sure,� I said, rather unenthusiastically. And so it begins, I thought, not knowing this little event would end up changing my life as I knew it. |
