Falling Slowly, Then all at Once // Luke hemmings

Chapter One

"My name is May Casslyn Jones. I know, my mother named me after a month of the year. It's not bad though, I like my name quite a lot." I smile at the interviewer. I was in an interview about how big of a fan I was of 5 Seconds of Summer, the Australian band.
   
    "How old are you, May?" He asked in a polite tone. I simply answered with a smile on my face. "I'm currently eighteen." I say, in my british accent. Of course I'm british, what else did you expect? "If you get every question right, one of the members will come out here and talk to you for a while."

    "Okay, let's start the questions." The interviewer smiled. "Of course." I nod and bite my lip nervously.
   
    "When did the last band member, join the band?" He asked, while looking at me. My light blonde hair had looked almost white due to the lighting. "I believe that Ashton joined on December third, 2011." I smile softly, looking around at the audience, then back at the interviewer. "Correct." he said simply.

    Honestly, this wasn't so hard for me because I know practically everything about them. The hard thing was, I was camera shy... or so I thought.

    "Who did Calum Hood, say he would go gay for?" This time, the interviewer was looking at my lips, quite odd.. but I didn't say anything except for the answer to the question. "Channing Tatum." I smile. The interviewer took a look at the card, "Correct as well."

    This is easy, I thought to myself. Anyone could know these answers without even looking it up. "The next  question is... What color was Michael's hair in the Amnesia video?" The interviewer asked, apparently his smile got even bigger and it was creepy. "It was green." I smile slightly.

    "When did Calum get his first tattoo?" The interviewer asked, the same creepy smile stayed on his face. "Calum got his first tattoo in 2012." I smile and shrug slightly. I was pretty sure that everyone knew that answer.

     I was honestly scared of his smile, it was extremely creepy. I hoped that the interview was going well, considering that I did sign up for it a while back, maybe about a year ago. Every year, they do interviews for fans, I'm just happy they accepted my application. "Correct." The man finally said after a long one minute.

    I smile gladly, thank goodness I got it correct. I looked out at the crowd, I believe he said that there were only going to be seven questions or more. It looked awfully like a lot of questions, hopefully I didn't freak out because of the audience, maybe I should stop looking at them. I took a deep breath and looked at the interviewer again. I'm doing okay... I told myself. I put a smile on my face once again. "When was their first album released?" Finally, he took that creepy smile off his face. "June twenty-fourth, 2014." I say, I didn't smile that time, because I wasn't positive.

    I waited for a minute or so, until he finally answered. "That is correct! This girl is on a roll!" He practically yelled to the audience, and they cheered. The funny thing was, my parents were in the audience so, you could hear them over everyone there. I put my head down in shame, all you could hear was.. "GO MAYYYYY!!! WOOHOO!" That's what embarrassed me the most, it's practically saying that I brought my parents here, when I didn't. I had honestly only told them that I got accepted to do an interview and they came! What kind of parenting is that? I haven't even lived with them since I was fifteen years of age.

    "What was the first cover that they did as a band? Including Ashton..." The interviewer asked loud enough into the microphone, I felt my ears ringing. I leaned up to the microphone, "That cover was 'Teenage Dirtbag'." I nod slightly, knowing that I had that question correct. It was the first cover that they did as the official members of 5 Seconds of Summer. "That answer is correct as well... May." The interviewer nodded.

    "Who is Calum Hood's biggest celebrity crush?" The interviewer asked, looking at me. "Calum's biggest celebrity crush is Katy Perry." I smile softly, biting my bottom lip. "Correct!"

     "How tall is Luke Hemmings?" The interview asked. I bit my lip softly. "He's 6 foot, 4 inches." I smiled. I sat there for a moment, looking down at my lap. As the man spoke again, I looked up at him. "Correct!" was his word, the only word he said.

    That's when I heard music playing, almost like victory music. "Uh.." I sat there awkwardly, and instead of one boy... they all came out of the small backstage area. I looked at them, with complete awkwardness in my eyes. What would I say? What would I do? I JUST SAT THERE.
