(Sam's POV)

"Hey Brah, does my hair look alright?" Quinn said from the bathroom door. Sam looked up to see Quinn wearing shorts and a t-shirt with nicely combed hair.

"It looks fine." Sam told him. Sam didn't even have his shirt on yet.

"Hurry up Sam, we don't want to be late! This is the first concert Perdido Beach has had unless you count the school choir."

Perdido beach was a small town so everyone was surprised when Katy Perry had decided to hold a concert there. Everyone in town was going even if they hated her music. Sam hated her new album but everyone agreed it was better than nothing.

Sam grabbed the first shirt he saw, he didn't own many so it was the same one he had been wearing for a week. Sam shoved the shirt on and didn't bother fixing his messed up hair Quinn tried to smooth his hair back before pulling him out the door.

"Bye Mum." Sam called behind his shoulder. Quinn dragged Sam up the street and halfway across the town to clifftop resort, where the concert was being held. Clifftop had been covered in fairy lights for the occasion, confetti littered the path and lights flashed around. There was a line of people lining up inside the lobby and in the corner was the entrance to the concert.

Quinn and Sam joined the food line. A young girl with red hair and a crazy smile was dragging clutching an older dark haired strong girl with a face like stone.

"Brianna calm down." The older girl said as she was dragged along. Sam and Quinn reached the front of the line.Quinn got a Fanta and sam got a mocktail.

The two headed into the concert that was just about to start. People were already going crazy and dancing around, it seemed like some of them were high. Quinn and Sam stood in a corner of the room and waited for the concert to start.

Three people walked past, two boys and a girl and Sam noticed how hot the boys looked before pushing the thoughts from his head.

"Why are you smiling like that Drake?" he heard the girl say before they left his hearing range. The lights suddenly went dark and the curtains opened. Confetti and balloons went everywhere as Katy Perry stepped on stage dressed in a plastic bag. People cheered.

"Hello my beloved guests. WELCOME TO THE SHOW. I hope your ready for some some Rising ROARS."

One person laughed. Sam sighed and took a sip.of his Mocktail. It tingled weirdly on his tongue. He looked to his left to see Quinn chugging his Fanta. He put it down finished but Katy hadn't even started singing yet.

"First," Katy Perry started again, "I'll be singing Fireworks." The music started and people began screaming, almost hysterically. Sam took another sip of the Mocktail. That's when he noticed how much the girl next to him was slurring the lyrics as she bounded crazily from side to side.

Sam's vision blurred slightly and he noticed Quinn leaving to get more Fanta. Alone in the crowd, Sam drank more of the Mocktail. At the beginning it had tasted a bit strange but the taste had grown on him fast. He let the liquid flow down his throat and barely noticed his feet moving from side to side.

Nearby, a girl vomited but it didn't occur to Sam that, that might be unusual. Suddenly, Katy's music sounded so much better and he found himself wanting to sing and dance with everyone else.

Everything was blurry and spinning his leg tripped on nothing and soon he found himself dancing as hard as he could. Laughing crazily and drinking the rest of the drink. A boy crashed into his side and he fell to the side. Another boy next to the first stopped his tumble.

"I'm Caine, this is Drake. Wanna dance?" said the first boy in a slurred excited voice. Sam grabbed his hand and pulled him into a dance. "I'm Sam."
