"Are you excited for the concert?" Alicia yelled over the sound of the crowd.
"What?" Hazel yelled back.
"I said, are you excited for the concert?"
"Yeah!"
Hazel and Alicia had gotten to the concert just as it was getting started. The pit was already almost full by the time they got there and they had sidled up to the very edge where they could hardly see the band on stage. It was a concert the two of them had been excited for, for almost three months now. They both loved the band a ton and had been looking forward to it for so long. It was amazing to finally be there.
The energy of the crowd was intoxicating. Everyone was yelling and laughing and Hazel couldn't help but laugh along with them. The band came on stage and the crowd struck up a chant. Hazel chanted along with them.
It was an amazing time being part of the crowd. The band started their first set and the crowd went wild as the drummer started the first song's beat. Hazel had never had this much fun before. She was dancing and laughing and screaming.
Alicia sidled up next to her. "I have to use the bathroom!" she yelled over the music, "I'll be right back!"
"Okay!"
Alicia ran off leaving Hazel on the edge of the pit. She was dancing next to a couple guys that were laughing and having a good time too. One of them was looking at her strangely enough.
He was wearing a simple white t-shirt and jeans and had cropped black hair. He walked over to her and yelled over the music "Hey there! Do you want to try something fun?"
"What do you mean?" Hazel yelled back.
"Come over here and you'll see!"
Hazel shrugged. It would be a bit until Alicia got back and she couldn't see the harm. Part of going to a concert was having fun with strangers. She followed the man back to his friends.
"What did you want to do?" she yelled over the music.
