| The next morning was hectic. Kenzie woke up at 5:30 for a quick breakfast and a short work out. From 6am to 3pm she was in the studio perfecting all of her choreography and selecting back up dancers for the concert that would take place that night. She was only performing two songs but she still didn�t feel ready. It was around 6 p.m. when she arrived at the venue and she was now feeling pretty confident about performing. She was just a little nervous. Ok, very nervous, but she pushed her nerves aside and started to make her way to her dressing room. �Do you have any idea were we are going?� Kenzie asked Jenna while walking down a hallway that was supposed to lead to her dressing room. �We were supposed to be there by now! Umm maybe if we go down this �..ugh! How about we ask some one! Here I�ll just knock on this door and ask who ever answers.� Jenna walked up the door that was now in front of her. �Wait, Jenna! You can�t just do that! Do you know who�s inside there! Look at the sign!!� She pointed to a piece of paper that was hanging up next to the door, which read Nsync. �So� that�s all the more reason to knock! Come on don�t be a coward! I�m just asking a question!� Jenna said while putting her fist to the door. �No you can�t! Come on!� Kenzie said pulling her away from the door. Jenna started to turn around when the door to the dressing room opened and a very shocked Lance stood at the doorway. �Uhh�Can I help you?� Lance asked, but Kenzie just stood there in shock, �Sorry fans aren�t supposed to be back here you two better go or else I�ll have to call security.� When Kenzie didn�t move, Jenna nudged her side. �Umm� Sorry. We�re not fans� I mean we are�Fans of your music� well I am...but we are lost�. Um�ugh! Let me start over!� Kenzie said blushing. She looked over at Jenna and saw how she was trying to contain herself from laughing, then she looked back at Lance who was staring at her with a curious expression on his face. She looked down at the floor and began her explanation. �Ok� Hi, I�m Kenzie Hope and this is my assistant slash best friend, Jenna Torman. If you look at the paper you received of the artist, I am on of them, you�ve probably never-� �Oh, that�s who you are! I�ve heard nothing but good things about you! This radio station is very supportive of you! All day long it�s been all about Kenzie around here! I heard your single today; I really like it! It�s going to be a hit!� Kenzie blushed again and grabbed Jenna arm when she saw that she was trying to walk away. �Thank you so much! That really means a lot to me to hear that someone as successful as you likes my song!� She suddenly became nervous under his stare and continued, �But anyway, I was- we are lost. Can you tell me where the rest of the dressing rooms are? I�ve looked all over and I�ve found enough rooms for all the people coming to the concert tonight, but none of them are for me.� Kenzie said Lance stepped out into the hallway and closed the door behind him. �Sure, umm they all should be this way.� He said pointing to the direction that Kenzie and Jenna had just come from. �Are you sure? We just came from that way.� Jenna said while looking down the other side of the hall. �I�m positive. Down that hall is where all the technical stuff is. But when I think about it, I don�t remember seeing your name on any of the doors. Let�s look down here.� He said leading them down the hall. � You�you don�t have to help us. I was just wondering where the rooms were. I don�t want to waste any of your time.� Kenzie said, her voice sounding a bit horse in the beginning. Jenna nudged her side again, this time harder. �What!� she asked but Jenna didn�t answer. �No, its fine. I was going down here anyway.� Lance said. He looked back at Kenzie to smile at her. �Are you ready to perform tonight?� he asked starting a conversation. �I sure hope so! I�ve worked all day on the choreography and� Kenzie began. �All day?� Lance said interrupting. �Yeah, my manager told me yesterday that I would have to perform two songs tonight. Since I didn�t have all of the choreography done, I worked all day today on the two songs.� She said pushing her brown hair behind her ear. �Wow, that�s quick. The guys and I struggle to learn it in a week and that�s just for 1 song!� �LANCE!� a figure yelled from down the hall while walking closer to them. �Lance come on, Johnny is looking all over for ya, man.� � Oh crap!� Lance said looking at his watch, � I didn�t realize what time it was! Come here, J� Justin quickly walked over to where they were standing in the hallway. �Man, come on! We gotta go!� He stopped when he looked over and saw Kenzie and Jenna looking at him. Lance saw the shocked expression on his face when Justin nudged his side. �Oh�uh Justin this is Kenzie Hope and her assistant Jenna. Kenzie and Jenna this is Justin.� �Hi...?� Justin said, �Come on Lance we had to get to that meeting like 15 minutes ago� �Alright, jeez! Your dressing room should be down that way, Kenzie! Good luck tonight, I�ll be watching!� Lance said while being dragged down the hall by a very rude acting Justin. �Thanks! Good luck to you guys too!� she said waving to them, but neither of them saw it; they were too busy hurrying back to their dressing room. �He is a cute one!� Jenna said while walking into a room that was marked with Kenzie's name on it. Kenzie looked over at her and rolled her eyes. � Which one?� she asked while setting her things on a small table in the room. �Both.� They said simultaneously, then bursting out with laughter. Lance walked with Justin until he felt he was far enough away from anyone who might be able to listen to him. �You have no idea who she is do you?� Lance asked while trying to keep up with Justin�s fast pace. �Huh?� Justin said stopping. �Kenzie. Do you know who she is?� Lance looked at Justin who had a confused expression on his face. � I didn�t think so.� Lance continued to walk and when Justin still stood there he turned to him, �Hurry up, J. We are already late remember!� �Wait,� Justin began, �who is she?� �I told you, her name is Kenzie Hope, but it doesn�t matter I think you blew any chance you ever had with her right there.� Lance said while continuing his fast pace away from Justin. �Wait! What do you mean, �my chance with her�?� Justin stopped Lance in the middle of the hall and turned him to face him. �Well, I dunno, Justin. You tell me! You gave her a pretty good look before rudely making me leave.� Lance said as he started to walk again. �What are you talking about? She was just a fan, right?� Justin said jogging up to meet with Lance. �Whatever you say, Justin. Whatever you say.� Lance said while opening the door to their dressing room. |
