Ten minutes until doors open, and we’re trying not to be nervous wrecks. We’ve been hanging around the gym, attempting to not look anxious, all of us jerking our heads up whenever the door opens. We watch girls in the Platinum club come in to set up their ticket-taking table, and then load some other folding tables with soft drinks and two huge watercoolers. Finally, when the DJ arrives, Oliver goes up to shake his hand, tell him we’re ready, but the guy hardly gives Oliver a glance. All he says to us is that he’s going to play for about half an hour, forty-five minutes, to warm things up, and then we’re on.

“You guys can hang out in the greenroom if you want,” he says over his shoulder as he hops up the steps to the stage.

We don’t really know where he’s talking about until Mr. Cornell pauses with his wires and points somewhere back behind the curtains. We thank him and scurry—be cool, be cool—into the fluorescent-lit room, crowded with two couches and a scarred coffee table.

“When do you think we should go back out?” Abe asks Oliver. “Ten minutes? Fifteen?”

“I’m staying back here until we play, man.”

I’m surprised. “But dancing’s our favorite part.”

He twists his mouth, jerks his head in a no. “Afterwards, yeah, but—”

“It’s cooler if we’re revealed,” Eli agrees.

I wasn’t planning on just sitting back here with them, only able to imagine people arriving and dancing. I was kind of relying on having something to do, but oh well. At least Eli has a pack of cards.
