After seventeen costume changes, eleven lip gloss reapplications, and at least a zillion blinding flashes in my face, the photographer—only the uber-famous Zane Black, the guy who shoots for all the big, glossy fashion magazines—declares that he’s got what he needs. Not a minute too soon, buddy, I think. My face aches from smiling.
“So guess what, B?” Justin asks as the crew packs up their gear. “I get to stay for your show tonight! I was supposed to have to take off, like, now—but I convinced my manager to make a little magic with the schedule. I’ll be up in the box cheering for you. I’ll be the one holding up the biggest ‘b,’ so look for me.”
He gives me The Smile and a huge hug, and I think my heart actually stops beating. “Break a leg, Becky,” he adds, and I smile weakly. I know that means “good luck” but right now I’m hoping that I don’t actually break an actual leg.
“Sound check in five!” shouts one of the headphone guys. “Rory, get Becca mike’d up.”
“On it,” says Rory. He strolls over to me, and before I can even say hello, he twists me around roughly so that my back is to him. I don’t even have time to think before he yanks the back of my shirt up really high. What in the name of Ursula’s ugly uncle is he doing? I grab the front of my shirt to keep it from riding up too. I feel a cold hard box being pressed against my back and then clipped to the top of my leather pants. Rory yanks down hard on the box, pulling the back of my pants down with it. Hello, if he makes me flash some cheek I’m seriously going to lose it here!
“That staying?” he growls.
“Yup! Not going anywhere!” I insist, pulling my pants back to my hips.
Rory shoves an earpiece into my ear and plugs in the wire. “Okay, let’s do a line check,” he says, twisting me back around, and not very gently, I might add. “Give me a test.”
Um, what’s the capital of North Dakota? Can you name all seven dwarves? What’s fourteen times fourteen?
I clear my throat. “Testing, one, two, three…” I say, but nobody besides Rory can hear it, because the most horrible screech you’ve ever heard in your whole life—the kind that makes you cover your ears and double over—fills up the entire ’dome and bounces off the ceiling and walls like we’re inside a giant popcorn popper.
“Jeez, Curtis, would you level that already?” shouts Rory—right into my ear, which is still echoing from the screech.
“Sorry, Rory,” Curtis calls back. “Okay, try it again.”
“Hey, Becca, maybe you could just say check-check like we always do,” Rory says in a very unpleasant tone. He is not happy with me right now, that’s for sure. Maybe his boxers are stuck up his butt or something. I decide to call him Gory Rory—in my head, of course.
“Now?” I ask, my ears still pounding.
