FOR YOU

I hate crowds and not just any crowd, but crowds filled with a lot of young, sweaty, naughty, and horny teenagers. I told Julia my best friend me and crowds is a very bad idea but she kept insisting because her boyfriend, Luke is performing tonight. There are a few young guys but I must admit there are lots of teenagers and some of them look underage, I wonder who makes these fake Identity cards; he or she must be rich by now. "You're having a good time girlfriend?" Julia asks. I swear I'm not quite having a good time but I have to pretend I do, because she will feel guilty for bringing me here if I tell her the truth and I have a soul so, I won't tell her. "Oh yes, I'm having a lot of fun." I lie. God, how I miss my very comfortable bed and my sleep. I cherish my sleep and hate it when people take that away from me. "Of course this is a lot of fun, it's a concert, and Luke and his band will be performing next." She says with a shrill. I don't know why she has to scream when I can clearly hear her. Yes, the music is loud but we are too close to each other so, the screaming is unnecessary. "Ladies and gentlemen a round of applause for the next performers, THE RIFF ROCK BAND." A voice shouts from the stage. I have to quickly cover my ears because as expected, Julia is screaming two times worse than I thought she would. "Oh yes, that's my baby, I love you, darling." She screams. I thought this would be boring but it's turning out to be exciting. I am dancing and singing to the song. I must admit Luke's band can do the magic when it comes to performing. "Hey, Pree I see you're having a lot of fun?" I hear a male voice address me, why is he even here? "Max for the millionth time my name is Priscilla, can't you just call me right for once?" I was just starting to have fun and he just had to show up and ruin this moment for me. "But I thought that's how your friends call you." He says giving me that smile I hate. "That's right, my friends, and the last time I checked you aren't on that list so better keep off." Max isn't that bad I guess, but he could be quite a pain in the ass at times. I don't know how I can describe his behavior, but for starters, he always tries to fit in where he doesn't belong and not to forget the kind of womanizer that he is. "Won't you just give me a chance to be your boyfriend? I promise I will never hurt you and as far as I know, you've never had a boyfriend, and you're like? Twenty?" Okay that's it I have had enough of this guy, who does he think he is? And that is not even my age. Wait did he try to suggest that I look older than my age? "So I'm supposed to accept your proposal as your girlfriend and you are addressing me in a very rude attitude? And just to be clear I'm eighteen years old, eighteen, get it?" I say angrily, I think tears are forming but I manage to fight them back. He has that devilish grin on his face. "Oh, and one more thing, I better not have a boyfriend than have a douchebag as you for a boyfriend, excuse me." I tell him as I leave to look for Julia, I think she has moved closer to the stage. "Excuse me, excuse me, some space please." It is so difficult to pass through the crowd, I keep squeezing my way through. Some even can't hear me, not forgetting the number of couples dancing closely together, It is a relief to finally see her. "My boyfriend is so amazing Pree just take a look at him eyeing me." Julia tells me once I get there. She never gets tired of praising her boyfriend and yea I know he is famous and loves her but she can be too much at times, I ain't acting jealous but it kind of bores me. When the band is done performing, she excuses herself to go backstage, like she really had to go and congratulate her boyfriend personally, and I am left all alone again, in this crowd, I just hope Max doesn't show his dirty face again or I'll have to punch him this time. I wonder why Julia had to drag me to this concert when apparently she didn't even need my company. "Ladies and gentlemen the time is here and you all know how we play the game, so, the drummer will beat the drums on the count of three and throw the drumsticks in different directions of the audience and a pair is supposed to catch the sticks..." Luke is the one talking, and what is he even talking about? The audience is applauding and I have no idea what the game is all about. "The pair is supposed to be of a different s*x, and just to make sure it's not the same s*x that catches the sticks, the left side will be for the ladies and the right side the guys, so if you catch one of the drumsticks and you are a lady on the right side kindly just give a guy next to you and vice versa for the other side." This time the audience seems displeased with that and I'm still clueless. "You guys know how we do this, the next concert will be a vice versa, now the pair that catches the drumsticks will have to struggle to find each other in the crowd, and just to be clear the music will be on, so are you ready?" Luke asks in a louder voice and the audience roars a 'yes'. "Oh and before I forget, when you find each other, you'll have to either fight for the other drumstick or be a pair, so dude let's go, one...two...three.." And, The crowd is screaming as the drummer beats the drums three times and throws the sticks, this is so stupid and boring and since I don't want to be in this mess, I decide to walk out, and just as I'm squeezing my way out, the stick hits me. "What? Oh no, not me!" I quickly shout as I jump away from the stick. There is no way I am going to play this stupid game that I have no idea how it's played and more so it involves fighting. I will just pretend it didn't hit me, so typical me just walks away from it. "Hey Miss, the stick hit you, better grab it and start the search before the crowd resumes dancing." The guy next to me shouts and I have to pretend he isn't addressing me but he has already caught the attention of those around me and a good number of them are looking at me, actually, almost all of them. "But I don't want to play the game," I complain. "There is no way out gal, if you don't play you'll have to pay." He says. "I'm ready to do anything." I'm not going to kill myself with this stupid game. "Pree, you caught the stick, oh my God, gal you should do this." How did Julia even come back instantly? Like she never left in the first place. "But Julia, I can't." "I know girlfriend, but trust me this is so much fun, come on just do it, for me at least, because if you don't, Luke will have to choose a way to make you pay and that will be so hard for him since he knows you, please." She's bribing me. I can't seem to find any other excuse so I'll just have to do this. "Okay, I will do it," I tell her. "Yay! Go girl." Everyone applauds as I let a sigh breathe ready to fight my way in this crowd to find my pair and before I forget, "Julia trust me, I'll pay back."I tell her and she whispers an 'anything for you' as I pick up the drumstick. Just then the lights are on me and I can see a similar light on the far end of the audience. Here we go, I will get you, my drumstick partner. The music is back on and people are cheering us up. I have managed my way through the crowd though I guess I'm even nose bleeding, but finally, I found him. How am I supposed to fight someone like him? He is tall 6'4" I guess and as much as he isn't that physically fit, his height kind of scares me, what am I? Like 5'3" or 5'4"? I could possibly not manage to get the other drumstick, by the look on his face he is just as bored with this as I am. "Hey pretty face, why don't we just end this by you giving me the stick and we can both walk out of here happy?" I didn't expect such a cute voice, wait did he just suggest I give up the fight and let him win? Well as much as I'm not into this game, his attitude just gave me enough reason to fight for the stick and since I can't physically fight him I could just trick him. "That sounds tempting but no thank you, I will go with the fight." So, I am just going to trick him and snatch him the stick because I'm not anywhere ready from taking the other option which is being a pair with him. "Okay, just remember you asked for it," he says with a smirk as he clenches his fists. I can't believe I got myself into this trouble. Julia is so going to pay for this. I know he can't physically fight me, I'm a lady and just as I was thinking of that I feel a hand on my waist as he grabs me and pulls me closer to him. I quickly raise my hand and put the stick above my head and then I just realize I am shorter and that wouldn't work, so I look at the crowd and smile and as he turns wondering why I am smiling, I quickly tuck my stick in the side of my pants and cover it with my top. "Where did you hide it pretty face?" He asks when he realizes I hid it. "You obviously know I can't tell you that so come on just give up already." That felt good. I say as I hold out my hand for him to give me the other stick, for a second I thought he would give in that easily but apparently, he isn't that stupid. I am busy smiling sheepishly when he surprisingly lifts my top exposing my boobs as he takes the drumstick from where I have hidden it. I don't know what made me scream, the fact that he had exposed me, or the fact that he had taken the stick. I bent and bow my head in shame, I can't believe he would do that in front of all these people, I lower my top and cover my face as the guys boo at that. Yes, I am wearing a bra but that doesn't hide my embarrassment. "So should I keep undressing you or you'll let me win?" He asks smiling stupidly. I'm so not going to let him win and since I don't want more embarrassing moments, I choose the only option I have. "If you can't beat them you join them. Okay fine, you win, but you're not winning alone we win as a pair." He looks at me in astonishment and when he finally understands what I mean the next thing I hear is a 'what?' as he opens his mouth in shock. ######
