Divya Mathur screams at the TV as the Lakers are playing, Andres Madera studies the Mexico Chivas team as they play; Kimberley Cervantes defends Justin Beiber when people are talking bad about him, and Alejandra Osuna hides behind bushes waiting to meet her favorite boy band.
Osuna was struggling with the long branches poking at her legs as she crouched down waiting for the man to hang up his cell phone. She found herself secretly hiding backstage at the Big Time Rush concert dreaming of what the moment would be like when she got to meet one of the members. All summer she’d been anticipating this moment, the moment she would make her way backstage.
Osuna mentioned to her cousins that she was going to attempt to sneak backstage after the concert to see Carlos, Kendall, James, and Logan.
She crept through a back door that resembled what looked like might lead her backstage.
“The doors led me straight to the tour bus outside, my mouth dropped to the floor with excitement,” said Osuna.
She knew this was definitely breaking the rules, and was well aware she could be in big trouble.
The man talking on the cell phone startled Osuna; it caused her to collapse in fear behind the bush. She was re-thinking her plan and thought of turning back.
“I was about to turn back but I figured I had nothing to lose, so I camped out for a while,” she said.
Osuna is obsessed with Big Time Rush. Her walls are covered in posters. Her first time seeing the band in concert was at the Stanislaus Fair. She got in line for fair tickets at 2 o’clock and the concert started at 8. She wanted to ensure that she got front row seats. She waited at the fair for hours awaiting the concert.
She’s a fanatic.
Mathur, Madera, and Cervantes are fans. They discuss their sports teams and pop stars. Osuna’s a fanatic, she’s cooking up her plans to meet and marry them.
Osuna describes this as one of the most exiting moments of her life.
When the man hung up the phone he disappeared into the night. She heard the crackling of the sticks.
She saw a young man walking towards the bus; she could not believe what she was seeing.
“I had been waiting in this bush for a little over 20-minutes, I knew eventually someone famous had to go on that bus,” Osuna said.
Kendall was approaching the bus; he was only a couple feet away from her.
She crept behind him.
“Kendall, Kendall!” she said.
Osuna grabbed his shoulders and turned him around to face her he was just silent.
Three guards swarmed her.
“Hey Hey we got girls hopping fences, we need to get this under control,” Osuna remembered the guards shouting.
Kendall waved hi to her but was not able to stop the guards. She was escorted out.
“I was expecting a little more from Kendall, like maybe a hug or something but he probably thought I was just a crazed fan,” Osuna said.
In fact Osuna is a crazed fan. Every month, there’s some new athlete, band, artist, actor, etc. It never stops for her; there will always be someone or something she’s crazy for.
Mathur, Madera, and Cervantes on the other hand are simply die-hard fans. They’ll never stop loving the team, player or, artist.
Weeks later, and Osunas over the Boy Band she was once in love with.
“My new obsession is Giovani Dos Santos!” said Osuna.
