Chapter 9 – Eliminated

We rode 'cozy style' in the truck until we stopped at Caroline's and switched over to her car where we could all sit more comfortably. It was insane trying to find parking, and we wound up six blocks from Jubilee and walked in. I texted and Mei met us at the park entrance.

I again noted that my girl seemed apprehensive as we made out way through the dense crowd toward Stage A where the announcements would be. Mick picked up on it as well and she said something to Animal and the two plowed the path for us. I loved how protective my pseudo sister was.

We settled into seats close to the front with Mei's family. There was a brunette girl, maybe fourteen with them, she was in that awkward stage that puberty stuck you in. I still felt like I was in that awkward stage and I hated it. The girl had strong Serbian features and looked like she'd rather be doing anything else than be there, as she texted on her mobile. Mei introduced her as her little sister Andjela.

The girl brightened a bit when she heard we were a band. She seemed fascinated by Animal and kept shooting shy smiles. I grinned and leaned past Mei to whisper at Mick, “Looks like you have competition.” This got the desired eye roll.

The boy on the bicycle wound up being her brother William. He looked sort of out of place in the family, as he seemed to be of western heritage. Like his sister, he didn't seem too interested in what was going on. I remember being dragged around to events I wasn't interested in by my parents when I was young and I bet I had that exact same look on my face. It probably has a name it is so universal, something like The Disinterested Teen.

I looked at Mei and her whole family except for Robbie, I assumed he was sitting with his band somewhere. What a huge group! How did they keep organized with so many children? It was amazing. Becky caught me looking and grinned and wiggled her eyebrows and said in a mock Scot accent, “Clan Hammond.” Doc was trying hard to ignore us all as he fought grin.

Then Mrs. Hammond leaned over to me and asked, “So how do they decide this? Before it was just single elimination. But there are points now?”

I nodded. “Yes. If you won both your challenges this weekend like Robbie did, you are almost guaranteed to move on. But it isn't a given. Someone who won one or neither of their challenges can still move on in front of them if they faced more difficult opponents and scored higher even though they lost.”

She laid a hand on my arm. “Like your band.”

I nodded. “We stand a snowball's chance in hell since our lead guitarist abandoned us. But there is always a slim hope.”

Before we could speak more, a goth woman took the stage. Her black lips had more shine than the black vinyl mini vest she had over a white blouse.
