CHAPTER TWO:

-meanwhile-

Adriana and her friends were waiting in line just outside the building to get in. They couldn't wait for the concert to start.

Lots of people were waiting; all of them talking to someone; smiling, laughing, or having conversation. The energy was high.

Adriana and her friends (Tess, Nash, Natalie, Rex, and Jen) were somewhere between the middle and the front of the line.

Jen and Rex were in high school with her, but Tess and Nash were already in their third year of University. Natalie was a freshman at University but Adriana knew her from when they went to high school together and, because Natalie and Tess were sisters, Adriana met Tess and Nash through Natalie when she would hang out at Natalie's house. The four of them were all best friend ever since.

"Where's Jessica?" Adriana asked Tess.

Tess responded, "She couldn't come. She has a boyfriend now. His name is Antonio and they're going on their very first date tonight."

"Aww, lucky" Adriana said in admiration.

"Yeah, I'm really glad. She hasn't had a boyfriend in a really long time," Tess explained.

"How long?" Adriana asked.

"Almost three years," Tess answered.

"Well, tell her I said 'good luck'," Adriana responded.

"I will," Tess agreed.

There was also a girl named Layla with them.

"Hi. My name is Layla," she said.

"Oh, hi. I'm Adriana. It's nice to meet you," Adriana responded in a pleasant tone.

"Hey, have you two met?" Nash asked. "Adriana, this is Layla. She's a classmate and a friend of ours from college."

"Hi. It's nice to meet you," Layla greeted Adriana again.

Adriana spoke to Nash, "Actually we just met like five seconds ago."

"Oh good. Well then uh..." Nash started to say, but then he got distracted and started talking to Natalie.

Adriana turned her head anxious for them to get the show on the road (the concert, that is). She saw Rex and Jen kiss eachother lightly on the lips. She turned her head back and smiled at Layla. Tess had now joined the conversation between Nash and Natalie when the doors started to open.

The crowd started shoving to get in but the guards were holding them back. "Not until the doors are completely open," the guards kept saying.

Finally, a few seconds later, the guards let go. The front of the line started rushing in. Adriana, Nash, Tess, Layla, Rex, Jen, and Natalie were next. As soon as the people in front of them got into the building, they started rushing down the aisle. They had almost reached their row.

Adriana was excited. "Hurry! Grab our seats before somebody takes them," she was saying to the others.

The audience crammed together in the massive auditorium screaming wildly, their voices deafening. All of them were trying desperately to get closer to the stage and, because of it, there was no air left to breathe. Each one of them had several bodies right up against theirs making them sweltering hot as they continued stretching their arms and fingers into the air like claws growing longer to grab the singers who hadn't even appeared on stage yet. People in the audience ranged from middle-schoolers all the way to college-kids.

Then the lights dimmed. The audience fell silent. A light overhead followed each singer as they entered onto the stage. Everyone in the audience began screaming again, then, just as quickly, fell silent again. All five singers faced the audience with their heads down. Then, all of a sudden, the stage lights overhead turned on at the exact instant the music started. The singers lifted their heads.
