HI

DIANA'S P.O.V



"What a beautiful life!"  Ariana gave me a side hug as we walked up inside the house.


"Uh-ha, and I'm dead tired."  I rolled my eyes.


"Take a break, sissy.  You've done a lot in one day."


"Oh you know I wish I could.  Tomorrow is the D-day of one show that I can't run away."


"Then you wll kill it for me though!"  She cheered.  "Good night Diana."


"You'll kill it too.  Night, Ari.  Thanks for today."  I hugged her at the corridor before we split to our rooms.


I took a long deep wash before sleep.  Seriously need that.  Well, actually I have like a mountain high of homeworks to do.  So does Tanya.  But apparently we have no time to do it.  Thank God our teachers gave us a lot of excuses.  Look.  Tomorrow is gonna be a huge day, because there will be a private concert from this new band.  Me and Tanya are responsible to make sure that everything is set up.  I will go to school in early morning, meet Tanya there, with a little help from small team, we will decorate the hall in 2 hours.  Then the show will be started at 10.  Private concert means whole day of hard works.  Not to mention that I have a school full of beautiful chicks who'll try to get the band members' attention.  If we didn't work the hardest, there'd be a chaotic situation.  Yes, the school hires us to make sure that it wouldn't happen. 


I decided to open my laptop to accompany my bad sleep schedule.  Yeah, after this tiring day, I can't sleep either.  I opened one account that I only know that.  God with me, I swear I have never told this to anyone.  As far as I remember, not even to Tanya.  I tweeted some stuff as well as posted photo on Instagram.  Said goodnight to these incredible guys, and seriously went to sleep...


"Good morning!"  Ariana jumped on me and shouted right in my ears.


"Wonderful."  I rubbed my eyes.  "Morning."


"Clock is ticking baby, wake up!"


"Oh yeah yeah I'm going to school now."  I pouted.  Heck I haven't showered yet.


"Ah, no way.  You need to shower for 10, wear this outfit, and meet me downstairs in 15."  Ari started to pull off some dresses out of my dresser.  She's the master of fashion.  Gladly, she does the same thing for me, every single morning.


"Shower for 10?  What kind of shower is that?"  I protested her while she threw me my towel.


"That kind of shower.  Jeez, grumpy girl.  Go!  I have stopwatch with me!"  Ari pressed something on her phone, I wasn't sure, but I heard the ticking clock.


"You're not serious."  I shook my head.


"No."  She gave me the glare.  "Noooow!  I'll call Tanya!"


Yes.  Welcome to my house.  That's the pretty same mess thing that happens everyday.  Ariana will wake up first, jump on me, yelling, make breakfast, call Tanya to wake her up.  Then when we're all ready, she'll sleep again.  Until the time that she's been setting by herself.  Well-managed girl.


"Done."  I walked downstairs.


"That's my sister!"  She clapped happily.  "Let me fix your ponytail."


She did some additional stuff with my hair.  I've tried to do everything she said but there's always something wrong.  And Ariana always knows.  And Ariana always fixes.  That's what a celebrity sister is for, right?


"Isn't it too much?"  I asked slowly.


"What?  Of course not!  You're beautiful, Dee.  So proud of you."  She squeezed me inside her hug.  "Come on, let's eat and off to school."


By her command, we ate breakfast together while I also texted Tanya to make sure that she's ready.  Early morning guys, everybody needs reminder.  Ariana made me cereals and coffees.  Good start.  But even though she's fixed everything on me, I can't stop looking at myself in the mirror.  Black tanktop, black leather jacket, mini red skirt, and black ankle boots.  Not so me.


"Hey, stop pushing yourself too hard."  Ariana joined me in the mirror.  "Swear to God, you're the prettiest."


"That nobody could match your game, cutest."  I pinched her nose.


"Every person has their own beauty.  And I see it in you."  She smiled.  "Go, you're running late.  Send my loves to Tanya.  I'll be there at 9.30."


"Take care while driving, Ari.  See you later.  And...practice!"  I noted.


"Oops!  Aye aye, Captain!"  She laughed louder.


I waved goodbye to Ariana and soon walked down to school.  Tanya has been walking too but from different direction.  Her house is like two blocks from me.  We will be meeting by the school park.


"Twin!"  I heard her voice while I was tweeting. 


"Hey!  Good to see you!  Oh, nice outfit!"  I raised an eyebrow.


"Will not miss this opportunity!"  Tanya chuckled.  "Shall we?  There are a lot of works to do!"


"Uh-ha, we need to hurry!"


We ran up inside the hall, put over our bags at the corner, then started to pack some stuff with the help of the team.  We magically turned the normal hall into a band studio.  This special guest asked us to prepare the drums, guitars, and piano on its places.  So while they come, it's all already set up.  That's what we do here.


"What do you think?"  Tanya asked me.  She was cutting some ribbons.


"Good enough.  One last touch there, and there, then we're good."  I pointed to both sides of the stage.


"Crazy huh, what we did yesterday, and what we're doing now, with this cutie outfit going on?"  She chuckled.


"Oh, people have no idea.  We're kinda busier than Ariana."  I laughed and Tanya nodded.


"Where's she?"


"Will be here at 9.30.  Don't worry about her.  She's the goddest of time management."  I raised eyebrows.


We soon packed up the decoration, made it symmetrical with everything.  When we think that it's the maximum thing that we can do, Tanya and I let the air condition on and closed the hall.  Next up, green room.  Yeah, it's an alias of 'backstage' for the band members.  They're scheduled to be here by 9.30.  And Ariana will be there too, as one of performing artists.  The green room is fine.  That's actually the choir room that the choir students own.  This room is under control.  We just asked the team to clean it up.


"Oh gosh..."  Tanya threw herself to the couch at the coffee shop inside the canteen.


"I know..."  I joined her.


"9.15 though.  We have 15 minutes to rest."


"Let's use it properly."  I laughed a bit.


We stayed in silence to calm each other's mind.  I used this time to tweet something.  No, not on my personal.  I barely used them anymore.  By I said tweeting, I meant that I came into this secret life that only God knows what it is.  Sorry. It's called secret life, I can't tell you.  Hah.


"Busy person."  Tanya glanced over me.  "What are you doing?"


"Nothing, just text Ariana."  I looked at her.  She didn't buy my reason.  "What?"


"What?  You're weird, twinny."  


"You know I am, yet you're still here."  I tickled Tanya.


"Oh!  9.28!"  She shouted.


"Shoot!"


We both jumped out of the couch and ran to the back gate of the school.  It is forbidden for everybody else to access this gate today.  It's closed.


"Hey girls!  I'm James."  One big guy shook our hands.


"Hey, I'm Diana."  I smiled.


"I'm Tanya."


"Hey.  Thanks for having us."  James smiled.


"Sure.  Let's go to the green room."  Tanya nodded.


"Yeah.  Boys, come on!"  He yelled to the crew.


I was busy with some paper which was contract copy for this show, until this one buy interrupted me.  No no no.  I have to be focus.  Keep focus on what I need to do.


"Uh...James...?  I think this is the copy that the school wants to give you."  I gave to James.  We're in front of the green room now.


"Oh sure.  Thanks...Diana, right?"


"Yup."  I smiled back.  "You're welcome."


"Dee?  I need a hand!"  Tanya called me from inside the green room. 


"Coming!"  I passed the whole band members and crew nervously, then made it to where Tanya was.  She stuck with the cables.  "Let's bring it to the hall."


We ran back and forth with one crew from the band, setting up the venue.  It's almost 100 percent done.  I was so relieved.


"Hey."  A guy stopped me by holding my hand.


"Yeah?"  I turned around.  I looked at Tanya, she gave me the signal of 'good luck' which I didn't understand, then left me.  "Can I help you?"


"Yes.  What's your name?"


"Dee...  Diana.  Hi."  I offered my hand politely.


"Connor."


Bam.  I just died.
