Seriously Heart?

I woke up to someone knocking on my dorm door. I crawl out of bed and drag my feet to the door.

"Claire, what are you doing? We have to get going!" my manager, Abby, said.

"Why? What's going on?" I said, sleepily leaning against the door frame.

"Why? Claire, wake up! Today is your debut concert!"

"What?!" I suddenly remember, and run to my room changing into random clothes, knowing a stylist will be there to 'beautify' me.

Abby and I run out to the car and the show-fer drives quickly to the performance theater.

When we reach the building Abby takes me to the dressing room. People surround me and pull me onto a chair.

A lady starts pulling at my hair while a guy holds outfits up to me.

The lady finishes brushing my hair and says, "go change and come back so I can finish your hair."

The guy hands me an outfit and I go behind a curtain to change. I take one look at the dress which was obviously very short. It was dark blue and sparkly. One shoulder was bare, as the other had a long sleeve that ran all the way down to my hand. "Are you sure this is okay to wear?" I yell from behind the curtain.

"Yeah, you'll look great." the guy yells back.

"But hurry!" the hairdresser says.

I pull the blue dress on along with the black shoes. The dress was tight and it stopped right below my butt. I honestly had no idea how I was going to dance in it.

"I don't know how I am going to dance in this thing." I say as I walked out from behind the curtain

"Told you, you'd look great!" the nameless guy says.

I just make a face at him.

The hairdresser pulls me back to the chair and continues to pull at my hair.

When she finally finishes I look in the mirror. My hair is somewhat up in a really messy bun, with black curled strands poking out.

"Wow this looks great!" I look around but the hairdresser is gone. Another girl replacing her.

"I'm doing you make up." she says and starts wiping stuff all over my face, When she's done with that she works on my eyes, it felt like cold paint.

She then put some light pink lipstick on me, and turned the chair so I could see myself in the mirror. My eyes look awesome.

There were strips of curled eyeliner coming from my eye. Blue sparkles, that matched my dress, covered the eyeliner. Blue eye shadow turned to white as it got nearer to my nose.

"Wow this looks amazing!"

"Glad you like it." she didn't seem very glad that I liked it but, whatever. The lady left and I sat there not knowing what to do.

I stood up looking around for Abby.

"Do you know where my manager, Abby, is?" I asked a random girl doing someone's hair.

"No, sorry." she replied barely looking up.

"It's fine." I continued walking for a few minutes.

"Claire!" I heard from behind me.

I turned to see Abby running towards me.

"We are doing a rehearsal of the concert."

"Okay, when do I come on?" I ask.

"You are the fifth singer right after EXO. You are going on for their last song." she informed, "You know the one you sang with them. Remember that?"

"Yeah, of course I remember ! How old do you think I am!" I teased.

"Hey, you even forgot it was you debut concert."

"Yeah.. you're right." I mumble.

"I'm always right. Anyways," she hands me a piece of paper, "these are the songs you will be singing in order. Remember those."

"Alright, alright." i whine.

"Okay, come on, rehearsal already started, we got to get you backstage." she said, and started pushing me in the right direction.

We walked to a door that was labeled 'backstage'.

"Okay, I have a meeting with some other managers, so see you later, work hard, don't be stupid, don't do drugs, wear a seat belt, and don't text and drive."

"I won't mom."

"Good girl," she said patting my head, "and don't be sassy." and she walked off.

I creak the door open and peek in seeing other groups, namely, SNSD, Super Junior, EXO, SHINee, f(x), and a few more.

"Hey Claire, you look gorgeous!" Amber, of f(x), complimented.

"Thanks, you too!"

"Aw, this old ting?" she joked.

I laughed, and she was called away to perform in front of an invisible audience.

"Wow, Claire you look amazing." I turned to see a smiling Xiumin.

"Thanks, you do too." and he did. All of EXO were in matching suit. Their hair look good too,

The rest of EXO came over and Chen whistled.

"Stop It!" I hit his shoulder.

They all laughed at me. I didn't like it when I was the center of attention. I usually would find a way to get out of it and push the attention of someone else. But as of now, I couldn't think of anything.

But soon enough the attention moved by itself when Baekhyun whispered something to Chanyeol and, Chanyeol hit him.

Rehearsal was long and it was finally time for the concert to start and I could hear the fans chatting from the theater. A year ago, I was one of those fans, and now look at me.

My mouth suddenly became dry as I thought. Almost everyone else here was not performing alone. Almost everyone had band members to perform with. But as for me, I was alone.

I started to freak out and someone sat beside me and put an arm around my shoulders.

I turn and look at him, "Hey Chanyeol."

"You'll do great."

"But what if I mess up, forget my song, or dance, or trip and fall." I'm really starting to freak out.

"It's gonna be okay." he said and pulled me into a hug.

"How do you know? You have never had to perform alone you still have eleven other people with you!" I pull back. I didn't realize a few tears had squeezed out of my eyes.

Chanyeol wiped them away.

"True, but you have us all to cheer for you from the sidelines."

I look down.

"Now, wipe away those tears, you can't smudge your make up."

I dab under my eyes, "Good?"

"Perfect."

I smiled.

"EXO! Get ready to go on your next." a stage manager called.

"Good luck." I say.

"Thanks," he says and walks back to his members.

I can hear them singing to their upbeat music.

"Claire, get ready your on in a minute."

My stomach flopped. I got a quick drink of water and heard our song start.

The boys started singing and I wait for my lines to begin. Soon it's my time to make an appearance on stage.

I walk out, trying to look as confident as I can. I sing my lines into the microphone that is attached to my cheek.

When I finished my line, I looked to the camera that the stage managers had pointed out to me and winked. Out of the corner of my eyes I saw myself flash onto the big screens.

We danced the dance we had practiced about a thousand times, and it was perfect. I didn't fall, my voice didn't crack, I was lucky.

Hopefully my luck would last for my next to songs.

Before EXO made their way off stage Chanyeol gave me a huge hug and whispered "good luck!" he grinned at me and ran off.

My song come on and I got into position, ready to go. I moved with the music and sang my heart out for my two songs. I was well aware of the cheering, and screaming.

"Thank you!" I panted once I was done and made my way off stage as SHINee appeared on stage, causing another series of screaming.

I was attacked by twelve bugs as soon as I got off stage.

"That was awesome!" Tao jumped excitedly.

"Why didn't you tell me you could dance that well?" Kai scolded.

"I told you you could do it!" Chanyeol high fives me.

"You are an amazing singer!" Chen and D.O. say.

"Thank you all, I couldn't have done it without you guys!" I thank them.

"We should celebrate later!" Baekhyun says, he really is a party animal.

"Okay, but what to do?" I ask.

"I don't know we'll figure out something to do." Baekhyun smiles.

Notes

Anyone catch my reference to Baekhyun being a "party animal"?
If not look up "Dance with Doc by DJ Doc" on youtube.
The one with Baekhyun in it...
