Chapter 168 - Quinceanera

    The feeling of doing gigs in bars was nice, but the feeling of coming to do special and different gigs was even nicer.

    It was Friday and I had just arrived at the venue for the girl''s 15th birthday party.

    Looking at the size of the ballroom where the birthday party was to be held, I could understand where the girl''s parents got $4,000 just to pay the singer for the party.

    The place was gigantic, even bigger than the wedding party where I first sang Bailando.

    "You''re the singing group, right?" A woman with a tablet in her hand looked at us and started walking. "Come with me."

    Our group of five followed her curiously, looking around.

    Since this was one of the special gigs I would be playing for several hours, I invited Mark and Frank to play with me so I wouldn''t get so tired.

    Especially considering that I was already getting so much money, considering the payments from the shows, the payment from MeTube, the payment from Spokify, the payments from my acting, adding it all up, there was so much money in my account every month that paying Mark and Frank to play with me was like an investment so that I wouldn''t get so exhausted during the shows.

    If I can keep myself less tired during today''s show, I can perform better at tomorrow''s show without having to compromise the quality of either show.

    Having the two of them in the show with me meant that I would be paid about $600 less than I would have been originally, but if it meant that I could do more shows, or even extend the time of the shows to earn more at each show, it was already an indirect profit.

    "Hey, is that Jack?!" I heard a surprised girl''s voice. ViiSiit novelbi/n(.)c/(o)m for latest novels

    "Is that him? His hair looks a little different..." Another girl commented confusedly.

    "That''s why I think it''s him even more, because I saw on his Instagram that his original hair is bleached, just to play the character of Jack in Duncan Family he dyed his hair black!" The other girl explained.

    Realizing they were talking about me, I got curious and looked in the direction of the voice and saw two girls a little younger than me, wearing pretty dresses, looking at me with interest.

    "To start the show, I thought of one of my fans'' favorite songs to sing..." I spoke, but was interrupted by an excited girl.

    "Boyfriend!!!!" The girl shouted, surprising me and the other guests at the party.

    Seeing that everyone was quiet, the girl was startled and lowered her head in embarrassment.

    Laughing, I looked at her with a smile and replied, "I see someone here likes my songs haha, thank you very much, I was actually thinking of singing Boyfriend, but since the birthday girl wanted Jack to sing at her concert, I thought I''d start with the song "Up Down" to liven up the place a bit and then sing Boyfriend.

    When I heard that I was going to sing "Up Down", the song that Jack sang on the show and that most of the girls at the party knew about me, I heard a few screams from excited girls, especially from the birthday girl who ran up to the stage to watch the whole thing with her eyes wide open.

    Although it was a new song, I had already given Mark and Frank the sheet music and we had played it a few times at my house before coming here so they were familiar with it, which wasn''t hard to learn with their talent.

    Even more, for those of them who already knew how to read music, having it in front of you while playing the instruments was like having the answers to all the questions on your test, it was practically like playing with Hacks.

    So with the three of us set up, Mark started the score on drums, Frank was on keyboards and I had my guitar on my chest when I started singing.

    ????????????

    It was Friday after five, I got here just in time.

    Went ahead and wet a line ''fore I went and lost my mind

    And I ain''t been here long, but the bobbers in the pond

    Going up, down, up, down, up, down...

    ????????????

    As soon as I started singing this song, I was surprised to look out into the audience and realize that there were several girls singing along with me!
