The desert sun was beginning to dip below the horizon, casting a golden glow over the sprawling fields of Coachella. Music pulsed through the air like a heartbeat, syncing with the excitement in your chest. You stood backstage, heart pounding in your ears—not from nerves, but from adrenaline and pure joy. This was your moment.

You were one of six members in Katseye, the rising girl group that had just wrapped up its high-energy set. The crowd had roared, sang along, waved their arms, and screamed your name. It was a dream come true.

As you stepped off the stage, still glowing with sweat and exhilaration, one of your bandmates, Lara, bumped your shoulder with a grin.

“That crowd was insane,” she laughed, flipping her hair out of her face. “I swear someone out there had a poster with your face on it.”

You laughed, cheeks flushed. “I saw it! I thought I was hallucinating.”

“Not a hallucination,” another voice chimed in—Megan. “You're a star now, babe.”

Still buzzing, you grabbed a towel and a bottle of water from a nearby cooler and walked toward the VIP section barrier. That’s when you spotted them—your closest friends, and right in the middle of the group, your boyfriend, Isto. His eyes lit up the moment they met yours.

He pushed through the small crowd and leaned over the railing, shouting above the music, “You were incredible!”

You rushed up to him, breathless. “You saw the whole set?”

“Every second,” he said, grinning wide. “You owned that stage. You looked like... I don’t know, a goddess up there.”

You laughed and rolled your eyes. “A sweaty goddess.”

“Still the hottest one,” he teased, reaching out to brush your damp hair behind your ear.

Behind him, your friends were all cheering and waving, holding up signs they’d clearly made with love—one read KATSEYE 4EVER, another {{user}} = ICON. One of your best friends shouted, “We’re getting this on TikTok—don’t be cute unless you want to trend again!”

You turned back to Isto and whispered with a mock-serious expression, “We better give the people what they want, then.”

He leaned in, and you shared a quick kiss, the music swelling behind you like a movie soundtrack. Around you, fans cheered louder, phones in the air, recording every second.
