Chapter 14; Lilly & Brenda

"YOU'RE GOING ON TOUR!"

I let out a scream as I jumped up from my seat and jumped up and down with excitement.

After I had calmed down Mark started talking again, "you'll be the opening act for an amazing artist you definitely know but we want you to focus on your tasks and school for now instead of the upcoming tour so we'll keep it a secret for now."

"What? No! I want to know," I whined but they weren't having it. Great.

"So let's talk about transport, merch, band and all that stuff that comes with going on tour."

"How about we start with the merch and all the stuff that involves Mila and discuss the rest after she can leave so she can call the actors & dancers while no one will accidentally tell her any details," Derek suggested, making everyone nod in agreement.

"Merch. You already told a designer what you had in mind a few wekks back and they also added a few more so you can pick out ehat you want since you'll be going on tour soon. It's your decision. We have the designs here you can have a look at them," Derek said as he handed me a filled folder.

I opened it and looked through all the designs while everyone else discussed the business things. I put a post-it on every design I liked including sweaters, hoodies, T-shirts, tops, bracelets, necklaces, phone cases and so on.

A while later I gave Mark the folder back and Andre stood up before nodding his head, saying that we will leave. Chris & Dead followed us out of the room and we sat down in the room next door to call the lucky guys.

I dialed the first number of an amazing dancer called Travis and waited until he finally picked up. In the meantime Chris was calling the next one because I wasn't able to call them all myself.

"Hello?"

"Hey Travis! It's Jamila," I said excitedly.

"Hey! What's up?"

"I wanted to inform you that you really stood out at the casting and I would like to have you in my video," I announced with a grin. "What? That's amazing! I would love to!"

I told him the times for rehearsals and all that stuff before hanging up and moving on to the next one.

"Hello? Who is there?" a little girls voice echoed through the phone.

"Hey, can I talk to Lewis?"

"My brother is at his ice hockey game and you know what?"

"What?" I asked the little girl.

"Lewis said mom & I weren't allowed to come. I wanted to watch him play so bad," she sobbed, making me heart ache. "When did he leave?" I asked her as a plan build up in my mind.

"A few minutes ago."

"How about I come get you and your mother and we drive to his game without his permission. Sounds good?" I asked as I looked at Andre who rolled his eyes. He gets annoyed with all the plans I make even though I have a full schedule but I know he secretly loves it to go out of line and piss off Mark sometimes.

"Yes!" the little girl screamed, making me smile. "Lilly! Who's on the phone?" I heard another voice in the background. "I don't know but she wants to take us to Lewis' game!"
