"Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, we're actually here!" Carmel Apple Cookie shrieked, practically vibrating in her seat. We'd just settled into our spots for the B.A.D.4 concert. She'd been hyping this boy band for weeks, and though I wasn't really into them, it was my first concert in a while, so I agreed.
The lights dimmed, then exploded onto the stage, revealing B.A.D.4. There was T.N.T, the main leader and vocalist, ZZ Skull, another vocalist, Mushy P, the rapper, and HellHound, the choreographer. Carmel Apple's screams were deafening, but even I had to admit, their music was… kinda catchy. I found myself tapping my foot to the beat.

Later that night, back at our place, I pulled out the flier. "Carmel Apple, you won't believe this," I said, holding it out to her.
Her eyes scanned the paper, and her jaw dropped even further than mine had earlier. "NO WAY! 'New Band Member Needed'?! And HellHound gave it to YOU?!" She bounced on the balls of her feet, an ecstatic grin spreading across her face. "This is INSANE! Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh!" You were hesitant if you should go or not….
