Chapter 1
::::BEEP::::BEEP::::BEEP::::
Elizabeth McGee�s alarm blared through her room after a restless night of sleep. She lazily threw her hand over herself hitting the digital clock harshly. �Elizabeth! Jessica wants you to pick her up in an hour, she just called!� Grace, her older sister yelled to her.
She sat up in bed rubbing her eyes roughly. Glancing to her side, seeing the full length mirror on her door, her sleepy eyes and snarled hair would have scared any normal human being away. The 16 year old had lived this nightmare so many times before. Meeting the latest phonies on the pop charts, or seeing them in concert, just last week an unexpected encounter with Aaron Carter almost gave her best friend, Jessica Morell who was 14, a heart attack.
About 30 minutes later she stumbled down the stairs, being clumsy, one of her draw backs. �Morning Graceful!� Grace said sitting at the table reading a magazine. �Nice to see your in such a great mood today!� Liz laughed at her sister carelessly grabbing a banana and devouring it quickly.
She was a pretty girl, wavy sandy brown hair that hit her mid back and icy blue eyes paired with her flawless glowing skin and bright smile. She never had really cared about what people thought of her or how she looked, it didn�t seem to matter, the world seemed to materialistic to her. She had no intention of dressing up that December morning, a pair of khaki flares and a navy blue long sleeved tee shirt with her favorite pair of tennis shoes was all she needed to be comfortable.

�Oh can you believe it, we are going to go meet DreamStreet!� Jessica squealed. �Oh yeah, I can�t wait!� Liz rolled her eyes putting her hair up into a ponytail. �You are so no fun!� Jessica said, disgusted with Liz�s lack of enthusiasm. �Well I hear they are great in concert!� she said trying to get Liz more hyped up.
�You make me come out here in the snow to talk you to see some boyband! Memory Lane or whatever, and you want me to be happy? I mean they have a mall show! They aren�t even in arena�s!� Liz fought. �Lizzie, come on it will be fun! Just please promise me you will try to have a good time!� Jessica said giving a pouty bottom lip.
�Okay, but trying and doing are complete opposites!� she said taking her keys out of the ignition and opening her door as the bitter cold hair whipped by her instantly making her nose and ears turn a rosy red.
=====
Screams filled the mall and stabbed Liz�s head with annoying pain. �Oh my gosh, I think I can see the back of Jesse�s head! Oh he is so beautiful!� Jessica sighed, her so called undying love for Jesse, just like she had for Nick Carter, Taylor Hanson, and Lance Bass kicked in. �He�s ok I guess, but I don�t see why everyone makes a big deal about him!� Liz sighed not a relieving one like Jessica�s but a frustrated one.
�There�s more to life then Areosmith and exercise you know!� Jessica said pushing several smaller fans out of her way. �A little exercise wouldn�t do you harm!� Liz said offended by Jessica�s worthless words. �And being a normal teenage girl, wouldn�t do you any harm!� Jessica answered.
�Excuse me, it�s not nice to cut!� A young girl, probably the age of 7 said to Jessica and Lizzie. �Bite me twerp!� Jessica answered snottily, she was known to get mean when it came to being first in line.
Once the two got up to the front and girl probably Liz�s age stepped in front of them. �You two need to go back a few steps, so when they come out, you aren�t in the way!� she advised, her stick straight blonde hair down plainly and her dark brown eyes seeming sweet. �And who do you think you are!?!?� Jessica said. �Jess, your going to get yourself kicked out!� Liz whispered.
�I don�t think it�s any of your business!� she said pushing them back. �Sorry about her!� Liz called as she walked away, she gave a laugh and a smile and sat down behind the seats at the table. �Well Mr. McCartney isn�t out yet, guess you must have seen his twin!� Liz laughed. Before she knew what was going on screams got louder and she felt lots of pressure from the other fans pushing her.
=====
�Hey, I�m Liz!� Liz said smoothly to the first guy seated at the table. �I�m Frankie, got anything for me to sign?� he asked noticing she had no DreamStreet merchandise with her. �Well I�m not much of a fan, want to sign my napkin?� She laughed sliding it to him. The next two were just as boring, the second ones name was Matt, and then Greg.
�Hey, I�m Chris!� the next one said. Liz suddenly felt a little nervous, he had been the cutest one she�d seen yet. �Liz, friends call me Lizzie!� she remarked. �That�s a nice name, it isn�t every day we meet such beautiful fans!� he answered smiling. �Oh dear lord! I�m not a fan, and I am guessing your the flirt of the group!� She laughed, he laughed back and took the napkin from her hand. �I do my fair share!� He answered scribbling his name down routinely. �Well it was nice to meet you Chris! See you at the show!� she laughing taking the napkin and stepping to Jesse.
If this was a regular teenage girls idea of fun, their taste of music sucked, but they sure did know how to pick �em. After they had their things signed, Jessica took the liberty of getting them a front row seat. Liz noticed that the girl from before that had told them to step back was up there too.
The first couple of songs were okay, Chris sure did know how to dance. Then about halfway through the show and song about a girl named Jennifer came on. Greg song lead in it, and he brought the girl with the blonde hair up and danced with her. �That is supposed to be me up there!� Jessica said angrily. �Chill out!� Liz laughed keeping her eyes locked on Chris, he actually made eye contact with her several times. He would hold her hand sometimes even to.
Then a song came on that Chris started singing, his voice made Liz�s heart race. �Wait a second, Liz snap out of it, he�s a pop star!� she told herself looking down at her watch. Suddenly she felt someone touch her chin, and raised her head, then she found herself staring into Chris�s eyes. �I just want someone to hold me tonight, oh, oh, yeah, yeah, somebody who�s holding me tight!� he sang. e held her hand and then got up and went on to the next girl.
Then she noticed something odd, a piece of paper in her hand. She unfolded it wondering how the heck it got there.
Meet me in The Sound Shop after the show!!!
Suddenly the nervous feeling came rushing back.
