chapter six:
opening night












FRIDAY: October 31st, 2028








"Not exactly my favorite genre for a broadway show but given you helped these kids, it's only fair we go. Even if it's just for the first few acts". The man smiled softly at the woman's words as he drove down the road in silence "those tickets came in the mail, I'm kind of surprised Claire didn't just give them to us".

"She's probably just busy with running the entire thing, she seems like a good kid. Although I gotta admit, it was odd getting those tickets. I mean no return address or name of who it's from". It was getting darker outside and the line to get inside the theater was decently long. "Sid, you're just being paranoid. Claire probably just had someone put them in the mailbox when they saw we weren't home or something. I mean I'd do the same thing".

"Parkings five dollars. That's a bit excessive" Corey chuckled "babe we got free tickets to this thing, I don't mind spending five bucks for parking. I mean these tickets are hundreds of dollars, it's broadway".

"Broadway is expensive, and I don't care what you say, I'm paying Claire back for these". He parked the car and climbed out as Sidney held onto her purse "tell you what, after the show I'll personally pay her back for the tickets. Just hope there's an ATM around here somewhere so I can do bigger bills".

The line was endless and while Alexander wasn't really looking forward to the show he still ended up showing up anyways. He didn't really expect an invitation to show up in the mail, let alone front row seats to the entire production. He would be honored but given the entire show is about ghostface and his past he's not really all that fond of it.

He wasn't surprised to see Kieran sitting in the front row as well, the boy likely came earlier in the day so he could pick the best spot. The theater was slightly lit  but it was hard to see fully, loud chatter could be heard as people found their seats. Alexander looked at the stage, the curtains were massive and a lot bigger than the ones he remembered from high school.

Given those ones burned and were never properly replaced this felt more fitting and oddly comforting to see up close. Part of him missed the club and the moments they all shared but another part didn't. Alexander sighed as he finally sat down, he could see the entire front row clearly. At the end sat Jenna Weathers, the woman writing inside her notepad as Nathan sat beside her awkwardly. The tension was clear and it almost made Alex chuckle slightly.

Benjamin was a nervous wreck, he looked through the curtains as he tried to find his parents in the crowd. Of course he saw Nathan and the spot beside him that was reserved for Benjamin's parents and sister were, of course, empty. He didn't expect them to show up or even pretend to care enough to see his big show.
