Crybaby

Escalation (dance part 2)

Troye laughs as Jacob trips over his own feet while trying to dance around.
It's a sweet laugh that rings through the whole parking lot.
He is holding a camcorder that is shaking with his laughter.
Yolandi is sitting on her knees, a blanket under her, wearing a little blue dress and socks. It's chilly, but she likes it.

Troye chases Jacob in to a nearby patch of grass before knocking him down, both of them laughing even harder.

"Hey Yolandi!" Alessia practically yells as she pulls up on her bike, Lorde and a few others in tow. There is one boy there who Troye doesn't recognize. He tries to stand up to greet the new comers, but does so too fast, and falls backwards. Jacobs rolls around laughing for a good twenty seconds before standing to pull Troye up.

Soon everyone is together- Crybaby, Electra, and Lana included.
They even brought Grace along, the little girl who lives down the street.
Alessia pulls out her guitar.
Yolandi presses a button on the camcorder. She wants to save this.
Alessia gives a nod and Troye begins to sing softly.
"Trying hard not to fall, on the way home..."
Everyone goes quiet.
The song is sweet and suddenly Troyes jacket makes sense.
Alessia's part comes along.
"We're alike, you and I" She sings, looking at Troye and smiling.
"Two blue hearts locked in our wrong minds"
More singing.
Their voices harmonize in a mesmerizing way.
When they finish, everyone cheers loudly.
"I didn't know you were so good at signing." Jacob grins, ruffling Troye's hair.
Troye smiles.

Alessia grabs him and spins him around, both smiling so brightly it almost hurts.

As the laughter and glances and songs tick past, the air gets chillier. Troye's bomber jacket is draped around Jacobs shoulders now. Crybaby is holding the camcorder. One by one they have begun to sit down, forming a kind of circle.
They are all startled by a loud honking from nearby.
"Oh! It's my ride. See ya!" She says, hopping up and grabbing her blanket. She wraps it around her shoulders as she runs to meet the car. It is a nice one. Her boyfriend sits inside.

After that, things begin to slow even more. Alessia stands, hugs everyone, and then then grabs her guitar, Grace coming along.
They disappear down the all and soon the only people left are Jacob, Troye, Electra, Lana, and Crybaby.
Crybaby jumps up suddenly.
"I need to go." She says before sprinting off towards the woods. Ah leaves everyone confused and questioning.
Except Troye.
Troye hides a grin because he knows exactly where she is going.
Or more, who she is going to see.
"Electra, I'm going to the college party. Wanna come?"
Lana asks, standing slowly.
"I'll walk you there." She says, looking down.
