Chapter Eight: The First Time
The next day . . .
It was the first day of tour and all were nervous. Alana was supposed to have her sound check before the Backstreet Boys' so she decided to get there a litle early with Sam. They were on stage, Alana partly singing as Sam showed her some of a dance. Then they heard the guys walk into the concert hall.
"Hey, guys!" Sam half shouted.
"Hey" Nick said back as they took some seats around the fifth row. "Hey Lana, are you gonna sing us something?"
"Ummm, sure what do you wanna hear?"
"Something you and Sam can dance to." AJ pipped in he as he laughed at the look Sam was giving him.
"Sure, if you want AJ" Sam said.
The beat started and Sam started to dance and soon Alana joined her. The rythm started to go faster and more dramatic so they started to get more into it.
The song ended and both girls were tired from dancing and laughing. The guys whooped and hollered!
"That was fun, Sam. You did great."
"Thanks, you did too."
"Great job guys" Kevin said.
"Guys!! Your up for sound check." Mark shouted.
Lana and Sam took their seats and started to talk.
"Lana, I can’t believe that we’ve gotten this far. I mean touring with the Backstreet Boys is pretty cool. I hope I don’t miss my friends and family too much. I guess I’ll make friends during the tour but its not the same. I just hope we don’t look like fools dancing. I mean what if we look like . . ." she flipped her hands in the air and shook her shoulder so she’d look kinda goofy! Lana noticed that AJ was looking at Sam with a cute little smile playing on his lips. Then he broke out into a toothy grin as she turned to look at him.
The rest of the day went by fast and pretty soon it was time for the concert to begin. Alana, who was pacing back-stage and shaking, was really nervous. Sam and the dancer were nervous too. All were scared they’d mess up.
As Lana stepped on stage she heard a few boo’s and the screaming died down a bit. But she had her head-piece mic on and Sam and her dancer to back her up.
‘Just remember to relax and stay calm. Ohhh I’m so nervous’ Lana thinks.
Her thoughts soon disapear when the music starts to play and she notices her dancers starting to move. She was surprised how much energy she had so she gave it all, and it showed. She hit every note and belted them out. Her songs she sang were her favorite songs on the album.
Sam loved dancing for so many people. She was full of life and kicked it in for each routine.
They ran off the stage, dripping with sweat and out of breath. As Samantha was heading for the dressing room to shower, she was greeted by AJ!
"Hey, AJ"
"You did a great job. Going to shower?"
"Thanks and yeah. Talk to ya on the bus?"
"Sure" he said as he turned around to go on the stage. As he and the rest of the guys jogged up the steps the screaming grew louder. Samanth giggled as she walked in the room to shower.
