Lucky
The lights of the party were blinding me as I pushed through the people in fancy clothing. In the back of the building, past all the people, stood a stage towering over us. On it stood a girl whose face could be seen on any corner of the city. She wore a blue sequin dress that was just a little lighter than her hair and eyes, and probaly blinded everyone at the concert due to them staring at her dress. I was trembling, either because I had stayed up all last night or extremely excited that I was finally at a concert. Maybe it was both, but as Diamond picked up the first note, I felt like I was dreaming. How was it just luck that I somehow won the free ticket to the concert of my hero. Clearly you could tell I wasn’t one of the other paying that 2 million dollars. My clothes were ripped and dirty, and my hair was a rats nest compared to the others. They always said ‘A diamond in the rough’ but at this fateful night I realized I was the rough in the diamonds.
