Warped Tour

Warped Tour- 3

I breathed in the hot summer air as I got out of the car. Everything I had been waiting for was finally here, I couldn't believe it. I slowly walked next to strangers cars, observing everything as I walked. Was this even real life? Were all these people really here? Or was this just an amazing and vivid dream? If it was I never wanted to wake up.

My daydream came crumbling to an end when my body smashed against someone else. I fell to the ground with a hard thump telling me this definitely wasn't a dream and that I was now on the dirty parking lot floor. "Are you alright?" I heard a voice say, it sounded like a teenage boy. I looked up and was greeted by beautiful blue eyes looking at me concerned. My voice got caught in my throat when I tried to talk so I just nodded. I hated my social awkwardness at this moment. The mystery boy extended his hand to help me up. I cautiously took it and he carefully helped me off of the ground.

"Thanks." I managed to mumble, immediately looking at the ground.

"No problem. My name is-" was all he managed too say before he was cut off by a voice that sent shivers down my spine, and not the good kind.

"Damien hurry up!" I heard Nicole yell. I slowly lifted my head to look at the boy. He turned his head in the direction of the voice and sighed.

"See you around." he said and walked towards the  girl everyone envied. When he got to her she looked back at me with a look of disgust.

"I don't want you talking to that freak, Damien." She told him. The boy, whos name was Damien I suppose, looked back at me with symphony in his eyes before turning back to Nicole and nodding. She smiled and intertwined her arm into his and walking towards the ticket booth.

"Does she know everyone?" my best friend asked standing next to me as we both watched the two people walk away disappearing in the crowd.

I looked at her and gave her a small smile. "I guess"

"lets go have fun." She wrapped her arm around my shoulder and we walked in the same direction Damien and Nicole went..

How did she know him? I thought to myself. Is he her boyfriend? but she was just with Manuel earlier this week. Was cheating on him with Damien? Does Damien know she has a boyfriend? Thousands of questions ran through my mind as I walk through the gates. Danielle's voice snapped me back to reality. "Come on we have to find Randey." She grabbed my dragging me once again through a crowd.

Apparently Randey and Danielle already planned a meeting spot without my consent. We finally met up with Randey and he introduced us to his friend Justin. He was pretty attractive. Him and Randey made a cute couple I suppose.

Once we were all acquainted we headed for the main stage because that's where I favorite bands were playing. We already knew there was no time to see all of the bands we wanted to see that's why we are coming back tomorrow, but this time we are all going in one car.

I started conversing  with Justin as Randey and Danielle hurried in front of us trying to get a good place to stand. I always felt like the third wheel around Danielle and Randey, I mean sure me and Danielle have been friends longer it just seems like she likes Randey more and vise versa, but its alright, I guess. "So how long have you known Randey?" Justin asked me.

"Um since Freshman year." I replied trying to keep up with my two best friends. "How about you? How long have you known him?" I asked glancing up at him.

"Since second semester." he answered keeping his pace with mine. I simply nodded. "We had second period together." he added.

We continued to talk about things that interested us and I found out that Justin was actually really cool. I told him I approved of him and Randey going out and that seemed to please him.

"Ready, Set, Go!" I yelled as we ran through the mosh pit trying to get closer to the stage. When we successfully made it through the crowd of people smashing into each other we high fived. "We actually made it without getting killed!" I yelled excited. We continued to push and shove our way through the hot bodies till we were in the second row.

"It's you" a familiar voice said behind me. I slowly turned around and looked into the boy from the parking lots eyes, Damien.

"Oh um hi." I said nervous.

"So you can talk." he said smirking, this made a small smile escape my lips. "I am Damien." He said over the loud music. I was trying to ignore the countless people pushing me.

"I am um Ronnie." I stated and started looking around for Nicole. "Where's um your friend?" I stuttered.

"Nicole? She is with her boyfriend, Manuel." Hearing him say Manuel was her boyfriend made my heart drop, sink, crash and burn.

"Oh" was all I manage to say before my  voice got caught. I took a took a slow deep breath in before I was sure I could say anymore, when I added. "How do you know her?"

"Well she is my cousin." When those words came out of his mouth I thought I was going to pass out, but I simply nodded. I slowly turned back around to face the stage. I looked over at Justin who was holding Randey's hand and Randey who was conversing with Danielle. Then I turned to face the boy again. and smiled.

"Well it was really nice to meet you." I said

"but?" he added

"but.." I slowly started " we are never going to see each other again, and you're Nicoles cousin and she hates me, maybe not me in general, but anyone who is popular and I don't think she woud like if I talked to you and." I kept rambling. Why couldn't I just shut my mouth. The words just kept flowing out and I couldn't stop them. When I finally clamped my mouth shut Damien let out a short chuckled.

"My cousin will be just fine."

I swear my heart skipped like five beats.
