The Sunset Strip...

Electricity....

I smiled as I walked up to the girls who were getting miced up. I stared for a second, taking in their stage clothes. Kandy was wearing a black and white crop top, a pair of black, ripped, skinny jeans, some studded boots, and some awesome jewellery. She had pulled the sides of her hair back into a plait, and left the rest straight, and had some simple make-up.
Taylor was wearing a black Chiffon top with skulls open with a red vest top underneath, some leather shorts, some platform boots, along with some jewellery and makeup, her hair with a red ribbon teeing It back.
Jen was wearing a red and black plaid shirt, with denim shorts, some ankle boots, some awesome jewellery, plain make-up, and her long hair tied to the side out of the way.
Christie was wearing a Jaws tank top with denim shorts, grey vans, some awesome jewellery, and her hair fishtailed to the side.
Sherrie was wearing a American flag tank top, some leather shorts, white doctor martins, her natural curly hair, natural make-up, and some awesome Jewellery.

"You okay Sugar?" I asked Kandy and she gave me a nervous smile. "I think so, not really used to singing in front of loads of people."
"You'll be fine. Your an amazing singer and they'll love you." I said, hugging her tight. She wrapped her arms around me and I smiled, loving the feeing of her warmth. Suddenly I felt a shock of electricity shoot though me which seemed to be coming from Kandy. We both sprung away from each other and stared. "Electric shock." She said, and I chuckled slightly. They ran of stage and I stared after her. That couldn't of been an electric shock, it was too strong and she felt it too. My breath hitched and I felt my palms get sweaty. I couldn't be, was it a spark? It couldn't of been, I mean they happen the first time you touch don't they? I shook my head, and concentrated on their performance. Kandy stood there, and gasped slightly. "Hi guys, how you doing?" She asked, her voice squeaking slightly.

The crowd screamed back, and I saw a smile creep onto her lips. "Right then guys, were Blonde Rebellion and this song is called Rockstar." She said, repositioning the mic, as the crowd screamed. I smiled and she took in a deep breath, and started the song.
"I'm through with standing in line To clubs we'll never get in It's like the bottom of the ninth
And I'm never gonna win This life hasn't turned out Quite the way I want it to be.
(Tell me what you want)
I want a brand new house On an episode of Cribs And a bathroom I can play baseball in
And a king size tub big enough For ten plus me.
(So what you need?)
I'll need a credit card that's got no limit And a big black jet with a bedroom in it Gonna join the mile high club at thirty-seven thousand feet.
(Been there, done that)
I want a new tour bus full of old guitars My own star on Hollywood Boulevard Somewhere between Cher and James Dean is fine for me.
(So how you gonna do it?)
I'm gonna trade this life for fortune and fame I'd even cut my hair and change my name.
'Cause we all just wanna be big rockstars And live in hilltop houses driving fifteen cars
The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap We'll all stay skinny 'cause we just won't eat
And we'll hang out in the coolest bars In the VIP with the movie stars Every good gold digger's gonna wind up there Every Playboy Bunny with her bleached blond hair, and well
Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar
Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar

I wanna be great like Elvis without the tassels Hire eight body guards that love to beat up assholes Sign a couple autographs so I can eat my meals for free
(I'll have the quesadilla, on the house)
I'm gonna dress my ass with the latest fashion Get a front door key to the Playboy mansion
Gonna date a centrefold that loves to blow my money for me
(So how you gonna do it?)
I'm gonna trade this life for fortune and fameI'd even cut my hair and change my name
'Cause we all just wanna be big rockstars And live in hilltop houses driving fifteen cars
The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap We'll all stay skinny 'cause we just won't eat
And we'll hang out in the coolest bars In the VIP with the movie stars Every good gold digger's gonna wind up there Every Playboy Bunny with her bleached blond hair
And we'll hide out in the private rooms With the latest dictionary and today's who's who
They'll get you anything with that evil smile Everybody's got a drug dealer on speed dial, well
Hey hey I wanna be a Rockstar
I'm gonna sing those songs that offend the censors Gonna pop my pills from a pez dispenser
I'll get washed-up singers writing all my songs Lip sync 'em every night so I don't get 'em wrong
Well, we all just wanna be big rockstars And live in hilltop houses driving fifteen cars
The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap We'll all stay skinny 'cause we just won't eat
And we'll hang out in the coolest bars In the VIP with the movie stars Every good gold digger's gonna wind up there Every Playboy Bunny with her bleached blond hair
And we'll hide out in the private rooms With the latest dictionary and today's who's who
They'll get you anything with that evil smile Everybody's got a drug dealer on speed dial, well
Hey hey I wanna be a Rockstar
Hey hey I wanna be a Rockstar.."

She finished and the whole crowd cheered. I smiled and cheered too, clapping along. I saw Kandy pant slightly, an look over to me grinning. 'Thank you.' she mouthed, and I smiled at her winking. I thought I saw her blush slightly but I couldn't be sure because she turned back to face the crowd before starting the next song.

-----------------------------------------------

They all ran off stage, and she smiled at me, going to hug me. "I don think so Sugar, your all sweaty." I joked and she grinned. "Oh come on Andrew, Embrace the sweat." She said, jumping on me, laughing. I chuckled and suddenly felt another bolt of electricity shoot thought me again. We both let go and stepped back slightly. "You know I think it might be the mic." She said, and I nodded. "Yeah, probably." I said, and she smiled. "Thank you so much for this Andy, it's amazing."
"No problem Sugar." I said, and she smiled, turning to her band members. I smiled and followed them as they all walked off stage. I was still confused about the electricity though, I mean, if I was electricity. They cant happen twice in a row can they? Or was it electricity at all? I sighed and grabbed a monster energy and sighed as my mind began to drown in all the thoughts.
