Thank goodness everything worked out so well in the end.
MacKenzie even apologized for “accidentally” stealing my tickets. She said she had been on her way to the bathroom, but somehow she’d gotten lost and ended up backstage . . . eating cupcakes while wearing an ID tag with MY name on it !
Like, WHO does THAT?!! That girl is such a PATHOLOGICAL LIAR!
I think she started acting SUPERnice and sweet just to try to impress Mr. Chase.
And YES! After Zoey put me on a total guilt trip, I accepted MacKenzie’s apology and decided NOT to press charges against her and send her to jail.
But that was ONLY because I felt REALLY sorry for the poor prison inmate who was going to get stuck sharing a bunk with her. Hey, I wouldn’t wish MacKenzie on my worst enemy. Which, unfortunately, she IS !
Anyway, Blaine let us keep our Dance Divas outfits, which inspired a brilliant idea for Halloween. We could paint our faces vomit green and be the Dead Dance Diva zombie queens. Am I not a GENIUS?!!
So we FINALLY had that meeting with Mr. Chase! And get THIS!! He said he was ready to move forward with recording our song “DORKS RULE!”
SQUEEEEEEE!
We’ll be working with his producer at a local studio while he finishes the world tour with the Bad Boyz. He even decided to stay in town an extra day to launch a brand-new project.
Mr. Chase planned to meet with our parents to have them sign permission forms and contracts that following day, on Sunday. And afterward, he was going to treat all my band members to a pizza lunch at Queasy Cheesy and make a big surprise announcement!
Chloe and Zoey were SO happy! They said recording a song was going to be the MOST exciting thing that had ever happened to them. They also told me I was a really wonderful friend! Even though I had almost gotten them arrested.
Then they both gave me a big GLAMAZON hug!
CHLOE AND ZOEY, SQUISHING ME IN A BIG HUG
I was really looking forward to spending time with Chloe and Zoey in the studio.
And since BRANDON is our drummer, that meant I was also going to be spending a lot of extra time with HIM, too.
SQUEEEEEE!!
Although, I have to admit, deep down inside I am a little nervous about this project.
I have to remind myself it is just a song!
Not BRAIN surgery!
I mean, how hard can it be?!!!
!!
Gotta stop writing now! My mom is calling me for dinner. I’ll finish writing about what happened next tomorrow. Hopefully!
FRIDAY, MARCH 7
I woke up Sunday morning feeling dazed and confused.
Everything that had happened Saturday night felt like a VERY weird dream.
Suddenly my cell phone rang.
Very loudly. . . .
DEET-DEET DEEEEEET! DEET-DEET DEEEEEET!
I covered my head with my pillow and groaned. But it kept on ringing. . . .
DEET-DEET DEEEEEET! DEET-DEET DEEEEEET!
Most. Annoying. Sound. EVER! Still groggy, I finally sat up in bed and answered it. . . .
It was my BFFs, Chloe and Zoey!
They were giving me a wake-up call and reminding me that we had a VERY important appointment at noon.
That’s when I finally realized all of that CRAZY stuff had ACTUALLY happened to me!
Including the very COOL part about a record deal!
SQUEEE!!!
I quickly jumped out of bed and called Brandon, Marcus, Theo, and Violet to tell them the exciting news. Trevor Chase wanted to meet with all of us at Queasy Cheesy to discuss recording our song!!
When everyone arrived at the restaurant, Trevor had a short meeting with all of our parents and guardians.
Then he had a meeting with US kids. . . .
ME AND MY BAND, MEETING WITH TREVOR CHASE AT QUEASY CHEESY
He explained that we would be recording with his assistant producer, Scott, starting March 17 for about two weeks.
Then, if all went as planned, our song would be released in June! SQUEEEEE !!
Mr. Chase then announced that our band would be opening for the Bad Boyz at their next concert stop in our city!
Of course, all of us girls started screaming hysterically when we heard THAT news! And the guys all gave each other high fives.
Our listening party (yes, PARTY !) was going to be held at the fabulous Swanky Hill Ski Resort on Saturday, March 29! And all proceeds from our CD sales at the party were going to Kidz Rockin’, a charity that provides music lessons and scholarships to children. How COOL is THAT?!
Then Trevor smiled really big and announced that he was saving the BIGGEST surprise for last. OMG! I didn’t think there could be any better news than all of the stuff he’d just told us.
Until he pointed at me said . . .
