First stop: the bar to grab a drink and loosen up. The bartender was chatty, asked where I'm from, how my night's going. He was cute (that curly hair, though, gets me every time), and I couldn't tell if he was flirting or just friendly, but it helped calm my nerves LOL.
Pizza next; cheat day activated. That slice hit differently. While tossing my trash, I stood alone for what felt like forever (probably five minutes), sipping my drink, feeling like everyone was staring. I was internally panicking, “Okay, I need to talk to someone, don't look sus skakskas!”
Then I spotted Prescilia, the one who helped me meet Izzy in her NY studio session at SonicTunes. Heading her way, I ran into Edward, who I've worked closely with on campaigns for Izzy AmorBella, Bick Dith, Sam Sparkle, and other artists under Small Melodies. We were both hyped to see each other. Right then, I saw Gabby, we followed each other on IG, and I gasped, “Oh my God! Gabby!” She lit up, “OMG ALEEXX!” Edward jumped in, “Wait, you guys know each other?! I LOVE THIS!”
Gabby and I caught up all night, vibing hard. We watched incredible performances from Sam Sparkle, Kashie Hermanitas, Debbie NO, and Shells That Swing.
PART 3 SOON…
