The Barn Nightclub^^^

"Come on Candy! Haul ya' ass out here!" Joan screamed through the window of her ford ranger. As she parked in front of Candy's house.

Candy burst through the screen door of her parents house. The door slapped the door frame as she raced down the walkway in the front yard.

"Don't stay out to late! And have a good time!" Candy's dad yelled in her wake.

"Sure thing pop!" Candy shouted back as she smiled and waved at his smiling face.

"You ready for this?" Joan asked as they pulled away. She didn't wait for Candy's answer, but stomped on the gas.

"I am so ready for this!" Candy could not contain her excitement over the fact Joan and her were on their way to see one of the hottest bands in the area.

Candy had been crushing on the lead singer of the group for the last two years. She had been trying to save money for a ticket to one of their show for mouths. Her dad had surprised her with tickets for her just days ago.

Candy did not think her feet had touched the ground yet. She had been on cloud nine for days. Joan was much the same, she claimed to be in lust with drummer of 'Back Roads' ever since they played at their homecoming dance.

"I still can't believe they accepted to play The Barn. I still think Amber was a nut for breaking up with Don." Joan rolled her eyes. Because 'Back Roads' was a local group that had made it big. The group was the topic of every conversation.

"Yeah." Candy replied with a dreamy tilt to her voice. She got lost in her last high school year. That was the year she fell for Josh Green. He was so incredibly handsome. She tried her best to get him to notice her. The following summer the band was in was discovered, and all her efforts were waisted.

"Earth to Candy, you still in there girl?" Joan laughed as Candy blinked in her direction. "I thought I lost you there for a minute. Good thing Barbie cut Josh lose, right?" Joan gave her a sad look. Barbie and Candy had been bitter enemys since middle school.

The big break up was the talk of the town for some time now. It was to that Barbie and she had been best friends when they were younger. That was until Josh came along. Barbie knew that was until Josh came along. Barbie knew that Candy liked him. She never failed to remind Candy that Josh was with her.

Joan had remained her shoulder to cry on. They shared their mutual crushes and their friendship only grew stronger.

The trip to 'The Barn' did not take more than ten minutes. If you didn't know the area you would never find the club. There was no road side sign lite up in neon by the road. Just a small white sign with barn red letters spelling out 'The Barn'.

The single lane road had no street lights to mark the way. Just two massive corn fields on eather side. Another five minute drive got them to where the fields open up to reveal a huge red barn.

They made their way to the front entrance, and handed over the tickets to the head bouncer Dave. "You ladies have a good time. And if any of these jerks bother you don't hesitate to call Big Wes. He working this side of the club." As he showed them their seats.

Big Wes was perched on a tall bar stool by the wall. He had his normal black coffee cup in his hand. "Is he drinking regular or unleaded tonight?" Candy giggled as Dave rolled his eyes.

"Unleaded!" Dave strongly said as he walked away.

They ordered their drinks and watched the many people move around the room. The place was packed for the show. The pool tables were full as well as the bar. Four bartenders moved quickly to fill all the drink orders that was coming their way.
