As Dexter and his friends made their way into the Triangle in front of Roach Manor, the atmosphere was unlike any Dexter had ever experienced. He had been sheltered in high school, spending most of his time on schoolwork and baseball, so his first real concert was bound to be a shock to the system. The aromas of alcohol and other substances were in the air. Frat bros and sorority sisters roamed wild, wearing little clothing and carrying red solo cups in their hands. But it was the scene kids who were most into it. A surprising number of students were decked out in all-black outfits, eyeliner, nail polish, and band gear, going all-out for the unexpected emo concert of their dreams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, Dexter, Bobby, Lewis, Dazzy, and Kat found a comfortable spot in the crowd with a good view of the stage. Rise In Girl had yet to be announced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWoo-hoo, we made it boys!\u201d Bobby exclaimed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m about to be fangirling out so hard right now,\u201d Lewis announced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI feel like such a freshman here, this is wild,\u201d Dexter said. Suddenly, he felt a large body bump into him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOut of my way, punks!\u201d an obnoxious voice yelled. Dexter felt a large body bump him from behind. He turned around and found himself staring at a chubby meathead frat bro with the most punchable face he had ever laid eyes upon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWho the hell are you?\u201d Bobby inquired boldly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf you haven\u2019t heard of me, you will soon,\u201d the meathead retorted. \u201cMy name\u2019s Jimmy Fender, and my 2010 travel ball team was #1 in the state, bro. And I hit FUCKING bombs, right, Dazzy?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBruh, if you say so, but you ain\u2019t gotta be like that about it,\u201d Dazzy told him. \u201cSometimes you just gotta take a Xanax and chill, my guy.\u201d He turned to his friends. \u201cLet\u2019s get outta here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While they pushed their way through the mass of humanity, Kat observed, \u201cMan, that dude needs some therapy for real. He got some shit to work out.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYeah for real, who pissed in his Cheerios?\u201d Lewis wondered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know, someone needs to,\u201d Dazzy said. \u201cHe thinks he\u2019s hot shit \u2018cause his dad is in good with the president. We don\u2019t like him, but he do lowkey be hitting bombs, though. So we gotta keep him around.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cExactly.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWell, fuck that shit, I\u2019m here to enjoy a show!\u201d Bobby cut in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHell yeah, good vibes only, baby!\u201d Kat agreed. As Dexter and the others began getting hyped, the light suddenly went dark. The band members made their way onto the stage, and the crowd burst into an emo riot. There they were: Dexter\u2019s musical idols, Trevor, Jake, Dustin, and Paulie, right there in the flesh. The men who had done so much to shape his growing music taste and inspire him as a person were now breathing the same air as him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIS THIS REAL LIFE?!\u201d Dexter screamed, high on adrenaline. He could not be heard over the roar of the crowd. Trevor Green held the microphone, clad in a plaid shirt, vest, eyeliner, and black nail polish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGood evening ladies and gentlemen, we are Rise In Girl!\u201d Trevor announced. \u201cAre you beautiful people ready to rock?!\u201d The Flying Hamsters responded with pure insanity. \u201cI\u2019ll take that as a yes!\u201d The band burst into action.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
