GIVES YOU HELL — THE ALL-AMERICAN REJECTS When you see my face Hope it gives you hell
OLIVIA SPENT THE next few days in the company of her friends. As the Halloween dance crept closer and closer, they had increased the number of practices they had per week. The whole school was praying for their downfall on behalf of Harmony Lane and they needed to be perfect.
No dance had ever been approached with such a charged atmosphere. The tension in the hallways between Sunset Curve and the rest of the student population was at an uncomfortable high. Each of the band members handled it differently. Reggie was under the impression that any publicity was good publicity, Bobby was irritated by the harsh stares of his peers and occasionally snapped at a random stranger, Luke thrived on the attention, and Olivia and Alex were literal balls of anxiety.
As the dance drew near, Olivia could barely eat. The fact that in twenty-four hours, she'd be on a stage, expected to sing without throwing up, was becoming too real to process. She could practically feel the hundreds of people staring at her with judgement in their eyes, picking her apart in their minds. The thought of it made her nauseous.
The boys tried their best to reassure her, purposely planning more rehearsals so she'd feel at ease. They were very concerned about her, which was why she stood in the cafeteria line with a dollar Bobby had given her to buy an apple.
Olivia was minding her own business, waiting for her turn to check out, when Christ White came up to her. "Hey, Liv," she greeted in a polite tone. "What's up?"
The girl's friendly demeanour immediately raised suspicion and Olivia raised a brow. "Nothing?"
Christa looked around, pretending to busy herself by studying the nearby chocolate bars. "How's the whole band thing working out for you?"
"It's great," Olivia answered in confusion, taking a step closer to the check out. "Um, is there a reason you're talking to me? You don't usually..."
"Yeah, there is, actually." Christa nodded. She turned to face her. "Jason was looking for you."
The lunch lady called next in line and Olivia placed her apple and a dollar on the counter. "Oh, do you know where he is?"
"The bleachers by the football field." Christa waited for the lunch lady to give Olivia her change before taking a hold of her wrist and dragging her out the room. "I can take you."
"Oh— Okay, thanks?"
The two girls walked through the halls of Los Feliz High School, weaving through the crowds of people. Christa had never spoken to her without the intention of hurting her feelings, so Olivia wasn't sure what to think as she was led out onto the parking lot beside the bleachers.
