Cameo is 18 years old, outgoing, and is a natural red head with a pixie cut and with the freckles and hazel eyes to compliment them. She's always lived her life not caring what people thought and have always had a passion for music. She doesn't let herself get pushed around either.
Hannah, Cameo's 16 year old cousin, is shy and awkward, but gives great advice when someone comes to her for it. She's a long haired brunette with brown eyes and a cute little gap between her top front teeth. Music is also her passion, which is what Cameo and her bonded off of.

Chapter One: Chances
*Cameo's POV*
I couldn't contain my excitement as my cousin Hannah and I stood as one of the first people in line to see one of our favorite party bands, Brokencyde. The doors were just hours away from opening and we were the crazy, social butterflies of the front half of the line.
"Cameo! Sit down, save the dancing for inside." Hannah said in laughter at my horrendous dance moves as she tried pulling my leg down to sit next to her.
"But I don't wanna wait! I'm to excited! We've had these tickets for three months now and today's the day!" I sat next to her and shook her shoulders in raging excitement. "How are you not freaking out right now?!"
Hannah shrugged, and I knew it was because she didn't trust giving her body over to good feelings. Every time she does, she thinks something bad is going to happen and karma will bite her in the ass when she's done nothing wrong. This show, was no exception.
"Well get happy! Two hours left." I smiled at her reassuringly and she reciprocated, still, uneasiness reached her eyes.
As we sat there in line people watching for awhile, two tall, link-ey, shaped guys in skinny jeans, hoodies, and dark sunglasses walked up to us.
"Hey mind if we jump in line with you?" The skinnier one of the two asked.
Hannah laughed sarcastically and I smirked at her. We never let people skip us, let alone even jump in line with us, and we were very hostile about our line placement. We both looked at them and shook our heads with smirks playing on both our faces.
"Sorry, not a chance buddy."
"Why? Don't you see how long that line is?" The other asked us as his face twisted to a look like he was slapped in the face.
"Yeah, but that's not our problem. See, we got here early, so we earned our place in line. But you think you can just walk up whenever and choose your spot? Eh, I don't think so." I said pointing to the back of the line.
"Thanks for trying though."
Hannah and I watched as the two strange guys sulked to the end of the long winding line. "Why are they wearing hoodies when it's summer time? We're in Florida for Christ sake, it's not like a hood is necessary.." She mumbled as I shrugged them off.
"Yes!" I squealed as I stood and yanked Hannah up with me. Finally, it was seven o' clock and the bouncers were opening the doors. The bouncer walked down the line and began marking big X's in black sharpie on everyone whose under twenty-one's, hands. The big, bald, tattooed guy marked us as the venue in Jax's Beach began letting people in.
Hannah and I handed our tickets to the bouncer at the door and ran inside and to the front of the crowd, as close as we could get to the stage.

*Hannah's POV*
"Cameo! Look your shorts are glowing.!" I screamed in amused excitement as I pointed at her glowing white shorts and noticed my shorts were glowing too.
She looked and laughed at me, making a joke I couldn't hear over the other people squishing in the venue and the long music playing before the show. What else is new though?
I looked around the venue and saw a lot of unfamiliar faces, but soon that'd be fixed and everyone would know who we were by the end of the night. It's true, a show or music could bring whoever together.
I looked at the merch table in the back corner of the place and saw it overflowing with people attacking for new Brokencyde, and Ghost Town merch. Thank god Cameo and I preordered our shirts beforehand.
While I was letting my eyes wonder around, I noticed the two guys from earlier, still with their sunglasses on and their dark hoods on, stalking into the crowd. "Why are they giving me weird vibes?" I mumbled into Cameo's ear as I nodded in the direction of the two guys. She told me not to worry about them and so I shrugged off the weird feeling I was getting and looked back to the stage as Ashland High jumped on stage and the crowd went wild.
Ashland High played their set and by the end of it Cameo and I were already sweating from the wave of bodies moving around in the enclosed space.
"Thank you! You guys have been an amazing audience to play for tonight, and I wouldn't want to be anywhere else but here right now." Everyone screamed and Woo-Ed for them as they waved and exited the stage.
While we waited for Ghost Town to set up and take the stage I started people watching again. I turned and did my 180• spin and saw standing behind Cameo, and now noticing right behind myself, the two guys from earlier outside.
I notice they were both still wearing their hoods, but I tried not to look too long because they have sunglasses on and there was no way I wanted to be awkwardly caught staring at some random stranger. When one turned I could've sworn he was looking at me and I could feel my face flush under all the pulsing light checks.
"Cameo!" I urgently whispered in her ear.
"What? Don't tell me you have to pee, we'll never get this spot back!" She sighed as she leaned into my whisper.
I smacked her playfully, "No! But those guys.. They're right behind us."
She gave me a confused look and turned to have a face to face confrontation with one of them. He looked down at her and you could feel the awkward tension forming.
"Well if it isn't the ladies from the line. How is it we ended up this close to one another?"
................//....//..
*Cameo's POV*
I smirked as the stranger from earlier loomed over me. "You must've sweet talked every other group of girls here, and they seemed to be dumb enough to let you through."
His friend elbowed him in the side, giving a silent message between their laughter.
When they both settled down we heard the sound of a beat about to drop and turned to see Ghost Town getting ready to play. The crowd was screaming as they took the stage and clapping already.
As the first song, Tentacles, started playing, I felt one of the guys tap my shoulder from behind. I turned and he held out his hand, and leaned in to speak in my ear.
"I'm Alex." He smiled, still in his creepy jacket and sunglasses.
But when I gave him a once over, I shrugged, really how creepy could he be? I mean, he introduced himself for goodness sake. I took his hand and shook it, smiling up at him. "Hi, I'm Cameo." I pointed to my cousin, "And this is Hannah."
I tapped Hannah's shoulder and when names were swapped, they too, shook hands. Then the other tall friend chimed in acting hyper and crazy. "I'm Jack!" We all laughed and turned back to enjoy the show.
As the show continued on, Hannah and I found ourselves talking to the guys more and more. We were all laughing and jumping and dancing around like we were all old friends, even after Breathe Carolina played and Brokencyde began.
We were all dancing around on one another, sweating and jumping, and shaking our asses when a girl who was dancing with one of her friends bumped into Alex, who might I add, ended up bumping into me while we were dancing, and stumbled, catching his arm before falling to steady herself.
"Oh my gosh I'm so sorry!" She yelled in his ear, trying to scream over the music between her giggles.
.......//..........//........
*Alex's POV*
As I was anticipating on whether to get closer to Cameo or not while dancing, someone ran into me and almost stumbled to the ground. Luckily enough, she grabbed my arm in time to catch herself and stand again. She was giggling and I assumed she'd been drinking, after all Broekncyde is a party band to most teens. She stood on her tip toes to barely reach my ear and screamed up to me.
"Oh my gosh I'm so sorry!" She giggled again and i plastered on a fake smile.
"It's fine. No harm done." I released her and looked to see her friend approaching too.
"You know, you're really sweet. Thank you." She smiled lazily and her friend linked arms with her, by the looks between the two of them, both were plastered drunk. One of the girls, tilted her long blond hair to the side.
"You know what? You kind of look familiar, like i've seen you somewhere before." She slurred and her friend kind of nodded. "Maybe if you take off the glasses I could tell better." Again, her friend nodded and the blond reached out and up for my shades.
I snapped my head back and shook it at them. "Sorry ladies, no can do. I'm sure if I had met you before though I wouldn't forget you." I smiled and turned back to Cameo, just to see her facing us to see what was happening.
"What's going on?" She asked looking between the three of us. The girls smiled at her and leaned in to explain.
"I mean, I feel like, Like I don't know, like I've met him before. Just look at his face!" She was becoming louder and some other strangers were occasionally starting to stare.
My palms began to sweat and I started rubbing the back of my neck under my hood, a nervous habit I've picked up. Cameo looked up at me, studying my face for a few minutes, when it finally slid into a toothy grin.
"He's just Alex." She turned backl to the girl's and shrugged. "He looks like an Alex to me."
The girl's looked from her to me, still pondering, when the one who'd run into me snapped her fingers like she got it. "He looks just like the singer from that band! His name is Alex too!" She pointed at me and jumped up and down excitidly. Her friend smiled too and they were jumping in place together.
"All Time Low!" Her friend shrieked pointing now aswell.
