The Only Girl in the Band

"I'm so excited to go shopping!" Mae squealed, her blue eyes bright as she read the signs of various boutiques. "Oh my goodness! I love being best friends with a rockstar!" she exclaimed, clapping her hands like a child. I chuckled and shook my head at her.

"I'm excited to play at the concert. New Year's in Times Square is going to be epic," Cameron said. We all agreed. As a child, I had always loved watching the ball drop on New Year's eve. Now I had the chance to watch it up close in person.

"They've had a tough year, but they're starting the new one with a bang! Please join me in welcoming, The Velocity!!!" Ryan announced. People cheered as Liam began our new song with the drums.

                                                        "They call me 'The Only Girl in the Band'

                                                        Got tie-dyed hair and a tattoo on my hand.

                                                                    Don't care what they say;

                                                                  'Cuz they don't understand

                                                                   How great it really is to be

                                                                    The Only Girl in the Band."

People screamed with praise and acceptance of our new song. I swelled with pride and continued into the first verse.

                                                 "People think it's weird that I hang with the boys.

                                                        But they don't know that it's all my choice.
