Best day ever!
That´s the first thing that comes to my mind when I remember June 9th,
the day of One Direction´s concert in
Mexico City. The night before the concert wasn´t really great, I was so nervous
for the concert, that I couldn´t go to sleep. I was also really cold, the
sheets were over my head, but it was too cold. I finally fell asleep around
three a.m. My father woke me up around eight a.m. I took a shower and got ready
to go. After that, we went to have breakfast at a restaurant close to the
hotel, the food was delicious and it reminded me of home. When we finished with
breakfast we wandered around, always close enough to the hotel, I bought some
things and around half past two we went to have lunch to a place named “El Café
Popular”, all the food was exquisite. At four o´clock we were back in the hotel
to get ready for the concert, I took another shower and got ready; I was
wearing my One Direction blouse that I did myself, purple leggins and my
favorite tennis, I was ready. My father, his girlfriend and I, got to the Foro
Sol around quarter past six, but the concert wasn´t going to start until seven,
so we stayed in the Tianguis that is outside, I bought some One Direction
things for me and some friends.
After that, we
got in, it was a chaos, lots of Directioners running, screaming. We went to the
checkup and I heard something breaking and a short scream. When I turned my
head I saw a girl crying with her hands covering her mouth and the pieces of a
broken cup in the floor; the security lady had broken the cup, the father of
the girl seemed pretty upset too, he hugged the girl and they continued
walking. That scene scared a bit, but we went through the chekup with no
problems.
Finally we got
in the “concert area”. There were official merchandise stores, bathrooms and
restaurants. A nice lady with a comforting smile and funny black and white
uniform, asked for our tickets, when we showed them to her she led us to our
seats, row 27, Platinum row 6, seats 7, 8 and 9. We sat down and observed in
silence for a Little while, then I said “I am a little bit hungry”, “Me too” my
father replied. We went to the small food court and got and individual pizza
for each from Pizza Hut, went back to our seats and ate in silence. I only ate
2 slices, beacuse even I was hungry I was too excited to eat, but I drank too
much water, I decided to go to the bathroom, because I didn´t want to have the
need of going during the concert. Tha bathroom area smelled grose, but I really
needed to go. After that horrible experience, I went back to my seat. And it
was finally time to start the concert. “Five Seconds of Summer” was supposed to
open the concert, but they couldn´t be there on time, so another band opened, I
didn´t like it a lot, I don´t even remember the name. After lots of songs of
the band, every Direcioner was sick of them, every time they said that they had
another song to sing, every Directioner would make a dislike sound. So when
they said “That was our last song” everyone bacame wild, because finally One
Direction was coming out. When the band left the stage the time started going
really slow, those five minutes seem to last forever, suddenly the Foro Sol
went dark, screams filled the place. When it lighted up One Direction was on
stage, louder screams, including mines filled the place once again. When they
started singing everyone went crazy! Screams were even louder now! They sang,
answered tweets and fooled around, as always. I taped lots of songs. I even
cried in lots of them. When the last song began everyone stood up in their
chairs, totaly ignoring the rule which stated that it was forbidden, but none
of us cared. It ended with the song What Makes You Beautiful and fireworks. It
was PERFECT! Everyone was sad because it was over, but they say: Don´t be sad
beacuse it´s over, be happy beacuse it happened.
