I’ve spotted the hot older brother, Clint. I’m going in. Haze is chatting to the girls from her drama class.

Or from Hazel:

Trin is drinking fairly heavily, I’m keeping an eye on her.

Or again from Trin:

Pashed him yet? Clint is really funny.

I rolled my eyes as I put my phone in my pocket and hinted to Kyle that his brother was getting hit on by Trin. He laughed and told me that Clint thought she was hot, so she wouldn’t have to try too hard.

“So, Twinkle Toes, how are your audition performances going?”

I’d been telling him about our finals, and how we were nervous as hell.

“Yeah, not too bad. Aiden and I have been practicing together as he has to lift me. It’s not as easy as it looks. I’m just preparing my solo for the judges, too.”

He nodded and sipped his beer. I couldn’t work out if he did actually care or if he was just making conversation. He seemed genuine, but I’d learnt not to trust that.

“So,” he said, “can uncoordinated plebs like myself come and watch you twinkle on stage?”

My eyebrow raised as I tilt my chin, “Um, I guess. There’s a lot of performances, though. I’m in a few, but you won’t see my solo as that is another day in front of three judges in a single room. We wear numbers and are shuffled in and out. A bit shit, but that’s the name of the game.”

We continued our chatter well into the night. It wasn’t until Haze rushed up to me with a panic-stricken face that I got out of my Kyle bubble.

“Trice!” she yelled. “Robbie’s been in a fight! Come quick!”

Kyle and I raced after her as she weaved through the crowd to the side of the shed. An unmistakeable shake from Robbie’s voice, travelled over to us, “If I ever hear you say that shit again, I will rearrange your face!”

Getting closer I saw Alex and Ty trying to pull Robbie off someone, and when I pushed my way through the crowd, he had got Brent, one of the guys from my science class by the collar and was shoving him against the wall.

“What’s going on? Let him go, Robbie!” I yelled. He turned and spotted me, and as his gaze swung over to Hazel, he quickly let Brent go. He stepped away, but not before turning back and glaring at Brent.

“What was that about?” I asked.

His chest heaved as he cracked the knuckles in his hands. He brushed Alex off his shoulder and stepped closer to me. “Nothing; just don’t worry about it.”

I stood there and quietly asked, “Did he say something about me? Like Gary did?”

Alex flinched but I ignored it. Robbie ignored me and moved away from Brent and said quietly to Hazel, “Can I talk to you for a moment, please?”

Her eyes widened in surprise and she nodded. He gently grabbed her arm and moved her out of hearing distance. I watched his lips as I tried to decipher what he was saying, but I had nothing.
