Aurora's POV

I sigh in relief when I finally finish the last of my algebra homework.

School sucks.

Maybe I should drop out and become a stripper.
My parents would disown me, but you gotta do what you gotta do.

My thoughts are cut off by the sound of my phone buzzing. I smile when I see I received a text from my best friend, Melody Jones.

BBY GUESS WHAT??!!!!

rory🍒
WHAT?!

mel🦋
YOU KNOW HOW I'M LIKE, IN LOVE WITH RUEL VAN DIJK?!!

Of course that's what this is about. Melody has been obsessing over some singer named Ruel. She's tried to get me to listen to him, but I honestly don't really care to. I don't even know what he looks like.

I may be a basic teenage girl, but i'm definitely not the type to obsess over their celebrity crushes. I know I don't have a chance so what's the point?

rory🍒

"...I think i'll probably start crying when I see him. You should've seen my reaction when my mom gave them to me, I basically had a seizure."

I laugh at Melody's ranting. She's been going on and on about how excited she is, while i'm just chilling here eating my twizzlers.

"When's the show?" I question as I plop down onto my bed.

She smiles sheepishly. "It's actually this Saturday."

Today is Friday.

My eyes widen and I sit up. "What?! By this Saturday you mean tomorrow?!"

Melody nods. "Yes! So you're sleeping over tonight and then we're driving out to Sydney to stay in a hotel after the show." She says excitedly.

We live in Canberra, Australia which is kind of near Sydney. It would make sense to stay at a hotel cause I doubt either of us will want to drive three hours home at night.

I groan. "Okay, okay. Help me pack?"
