The day before the concert......

"Oh my God, I can't believe the concert is only tomorrow!" Mary said.

"I know," I replied.

"When is mom coming home, I have to tell her that we are going to the mall to get a new outfit." Mary whined.

"What are you going to buy?"

"I wanna buy some baggy jeans and a that shirt that I saw in Forever21."

"What shirt."

"You know, the one that you and me saw and I thought that it was very cute." I stared at her weird. And she knew that I didn't know what she was talking about. "The shirt, it was a black tank top with those strips that was doing this funky thing, like you said, but I don't they were doing a funky thing."

"Oh yeah, now I remember."

"Your stupid Charissa."

"Well, they were doing a funky thing."

"Shut up and talk about something else and no they weren't."

"So, you told me that someone is going to the concert with us but you didn't tell me who." I said.

"The person is Roxanne."

"ROXANNE!!!" I yelled.

"Yeah, ROXANNE!"

"But I don't want her to come." I whined.

"Well to bad, she's coming. Mom already said that she was coming.

"Kid's, I'm home." Mom yelled from downstair's.

"I'm going to straighten this with mom."

"Go ahead, but Roxanne is still coming." Mary said.

"MOM!!!!!!" I screamed.

"God, a little louder the space aliens would have heard you."

"Yes dear, what is it. Is everything alright? Is Mary hurt? Are you hurt?" Mom said sounding very concerned. Behind her came dad alsolooking very concerned.

"No mom, none of us are hurt but there is a huuuuge problem!" I yelled.

"What's the problem." Dad said.

"Mary invited Roxanne without me even agreeing to it and she told me that mom also agreed to it!" I whined.

"Why, is that a problem that Roxanne is going." Dad added.

"Yes!! It's a huuuge problem!!!"

"Then what's the problem?"

"Wait Charissa, before you answer mom's question, can you please not yell it out because I don't want the space aliens to know what we're talking about. But if only the space aliens knew our language." Mary said and started to wonder about it.

"Alright, I won't yell this time,but if I have to, I have too. It's a problem to me because me and her aren't that cool with each other right now."

"And why is that." Dad said.

"Because, um, cause-"

"Beacause, Roxanne backstabbed her and told her ex-boyfriend her secret that she has been keeping from him." Mary answered quickly making our dad very suspicious.

"Oh, well, she's still coming, because we can't tell her we don't want her to go in the last minute." Mom said. But I can tell that she bought the story but I can really tell that dad didn't buy the whole thing we just told them.

"But-"

"No, Charissa, there will be no but's in this conversation. This conversation is now closed. Roxanne is going to that concert whether you like it or not." Mom said.

"Okay." I whined.

"Alright now." Mom said.

"Oh mom, me and Charissa are going to the mall to buy a new outfit."

"Alright, but be home early."

Dad is still looking at us very suspicous.They both got up and left the room but I knew that dad really know's that we are hiding something from the two of them.

"Thank you Mary sooooo much for covering me up there."

"It's no problem, just as long as mom and dad doesn't know about it.Okay." She said that staring at me with that smile on her face.

"But thanks anyways." And I smiled back.

"You are welcome. Now get dressed because I want to go to the mall and buy that new outfit."

"Okay." I said with a smile and let out a little giggle.

Back at the studio........

"Do we get a break after this JC?" Justin whined.

"Yeah we'll get a break if you get the moves straight." JC said.

They have been practicing their dance routine for the concert tomorrow for a couple of hours. JC wanted it to be perfect but Justin or Joey would end up missing a move or messing up and that messes up the whole thing.

"There, are you happy, we got the moves perfect this time. Now can we have a break." Lance said begging to JC.

"Oh alright, if you guys insist. But if you guys mess up-"

"It's not your fault JC, it's our fault and we can't come up to you whining saying sorry for messing up the dance because you told us so. We know, now can we take a break." All four of the guys said all together.

"Okay, you know it. Now we can take a break. We're taking a fifteen minute break."

"Fifteen Min-"

"Or I'll make it ten Justin if you don't stop whining."

"Okay, fiteen sounds fine." All four of the guy's went down the hall to the cafeteria and went straight to the snack machine and soda machine and sat down. JC followed right behind them.

"Finally I can sit this bottom of mine down." Chris said while sitting down.

"I can finally eat!" Joey said opening his bag of cheetos that he got from the snack machine.

"Me too." Justin said.

"Yeah, me three." Lance said with his mouth full of chips.

"Why are you guys so tired, I feel like pacticing for the rest of the week nonstop?" JC said sounding very cheerful and happy.

"How can you say that after we have been practicing the same dumb dance for how many hours?" Justin said after he took a sip from his soda.

"You guys totally have no energy in you guys, well, I can understand Chris because he's ageing as we even speak-"

"Hey, I heard that." Chris said throwing a chip at his head. The guys just laughed and JC pretended like as if no one threw anything at him and continued to what he was saying.

"Anyways,Justin, you're young, you have all that energy in you-"

"Yeah I HAD all that energy in me but SOMEONE made me dance the same dance over and over again for how many hours and I won't say any names, JC!" Justin said staring at JC.

"But you better have all that energy in a couple of minutes and you better finish that because we are starting practice in a couple of minutes."

"Already JC." Justin said about to drink his soda until JC said that causing him to not drink it and stare at JC.

"Yes already, so you guys better hurry up." JC said.

The guys continued to eat and drink until JC said that time is up. Everyone whined and groaned and they all stood up and threw their trash away and followed JC to the where they were practicing their moves earlier.

"Alright, you guys ready." JC said very enthusiastic.

"Yeah, whatever." Justin said with a not enthusiastic voice.

"Uh-huh." Joey said with the same tone as Justin.

"Alright then, one, two three, four,"

Back at the mall.......

"I'm hungry." I whined.

"Well, go to the food court and buy some food."

"But I don't want to go alone because people might think that I'm a loner."

"Oh my God Charissa. Here, I'll go with you but wait because I have to pay for this outfit."

"But it's taking to long. The lady behind us is looking at me weird because I think that she heard my tummy growling."

"Well, it not my problem. Just sit over there and wait for me." I went over to where she told me to sit. I sat down and started to look at the people in line then saw Mary looking at me. I smiled at her then she smiled back and turned away. Then I looked at something else. I stared at this thing then I had this flashback of why I really hate Roxanne. I thought about when we had that huge arguement and I slapped her. Then I remember Richard there next to her telling me not to slap her because it wasn't her fault about the mistake that-

"Hellooo,anybody there. Come back to earth Charissa." Mary said waving her hand in front of my face causing me to stop thinking about the past.

I stared at her and said, "Sorry, I was just thinking there."

"I know. Now come on and hurry up because I think that my stomach is growlng now because I just heard it growl and I feel awfully hungry." Mary said pulling me out the door to the direction of the food court.

"Okay okay, I know where the food court is and I don't need anyone like you Mary dragging me there."

"Sorry, so what were you thinking of."

"What?" I said surprised.

"Back there while you were waiting for me in Forever 21."

"Oh! I was just thinking about the mistake and Roxanne and Richard and-"

"Charissa, you have to stop thinking about that. Ever since that happened, you've never went near a guy since, or been with a guy since.You have to forget about it and move on."

"I know, but I just feel like I wish that never had happened and I wish that I can turn back the days and undo what-"

"I know, just forget about it okay. Now let's talk about something else. Well, here we are in the food court, where do you want to eat?"

"I don't know."

"Let's eat at McDonald's"v"I don't want to."

"But Charissa, you love McDonalds."

"But-"

"No but's Charissa, we're eating in McDonald's whether you like it or not."

"Alright then."

"Now we're going to order our food and take it home to eat, ok. And do you have your outfit with you Charissa?"

"Yeah."

"Okay, good, Thought you forgot it since you are soooo forgetful."

"No I'm not."

"You are too."

"No I'm not."

"You are t-"

"How may I help you ladies?" The man in the counter said.

"Yes I'd like a 2 Big Macs with large fries and a medium soda." Marysaid.

"Alright then that'll be, $6.95." Mary handed the man money and the man gave us our receipt and told us what number we are. We waited a while until they called out our number.

"Number 118." We heard our number being called out and took our food and sat down on the chair.

"Just forget about it Charissa."

"Alright."

Back at home........
