From the driver's seat, Jacob tossed me a small magazine. It had all the information about our trip. Loser doesn't know anything. I imagined.

Before leaving with Emma, the principal had called me back. He had planned given me the chance to sing with Hailee Steinfeld. One song with her, and three songs of my own. Original or not.

I guess he liked 'Shining stars'. And he asked me not to tell these two idiots so that their shocked expression can be recorded by one of his other friends who will be with us. I had decided to sing Capital Letters with Hailee and as solos', Cups by Anna Kendrick(Something I regret not telling Eli),Flashlight by Jessie J and A Thousand Years of Christina Perri(To tell my feelings to Eli).

Yes, I thought about my feelings for Eli, and decided to ask him to be my boyfriend. Maybe I could change him for the better. What Michael said gave me a big push. That was when my phone started ringing. It was the principal.

"Hello?" I said.

"Hello. Miss Mathew? We have a small problem." The principal said.

"What is it?" I said as I looked at Eli who was looking at me.

"Hailee's concert has been changed to tonight."

"WHAT?" I accidentally screamed.

"So you have to go tonight." He sighed.

"What time?" I asked.

"9. You have to be there by 9:30 at least. Have you started?" I checked the time. It was 5:30.

"Yes, one hour ago."

"So you will reach on time. OK, Goodbye" He said and hung up.

"Oh Jeez" I murmured.

"What happened?" Eli asked.

"Hailee's concert is tonight. Step on it!" I screeched. Jacob drove as fast as fast as he could. We reached at a resort at 7:30. We checked in by 7:40. Eli and Jacob shared a room and I had one beside theirs.

I got ready as soon as I could. I wore a really short red dress which Emma had compelled me to buy. It reached till less than quarter of my thighs. It was sleeveless and didn't show much of a chest which I was thankful for.

I put enough make up to not get noticed by the guys, but to go on stage. As I finished my makeup, a knock came on my door. I opened it and saw Jacob. He wore a black sweatshirt and matching jeans.

"Wow you look hot girl. Would you click a picture with me?" Jacob asked.

"Sure" I said as I wore my heels, got out and locked my door.

"Do you mind Eli?" Jacob said. I turned and saw Eli. He was wearing a blue T-shirt and rugged jeans.

"Sure." He said and took the phone from Jacob. He took our picture. As he returned the phone, he said.

"You both look cute together." That was enough to sour my mood. As Eli moved to the exit of the resort, Jacob sensed my bad mood.

"What happened?" He asked.

"Didn't you hear what he said?" I said and sighed.

"He said we were cute." Jacob shrugged.

"He said we were cute together. He thinks we are together. He thinks I like you."

"Don't you?" Even though he asked that he knew what I meant.

"I do. But he thinks I have a crush on you. So he thinks I don't think I have a crush on him. Which I do!" I almost screamed.

"God, you are so whipped. You were since your sweet sixteen." He smirked.

"What?" I asked.

"Whenever we talked about him, you clearly had feelings for him, I could see it in your eyes." He said.

"Hey guys?" Eli called from a bit far. I got scared that he heard me. Why should I be worried?

"Coming." Jacob said and started moving. I followed behind. We reached the parking lot of the concert by 8:30. We started shooting from there since the carnival would be crowded.

"Hey guys, I'm Liya and I'm here with our tour guide Ellington and Cameraman Jacob. We are at day 0 of the NYMC. And now we are going to the live show of the one and only Hailee Steinfeld."

"And cut" Jacob said. We walked to the show which was a five minute walk. We got a place which was about 30 metres from the stage. Principal's friend Judith joined us there. Soon the show started. At 9:30, when she started singing 'Love myself' I knew it was time for me to go.

"Hey guys, I need to use the washroom, be right back." I said and before they could reply, I ran of out the crowd. Soon enough I was in the backstage waiting for my turn to perform.
