The Damn Snapback
“I can’t believe you guys dragged me to a Rhianna concert. I have a final in two days that I need to be studying for,” Tobin muttered as she walked beside her two friends, Alex and Sydney.
"Oh please, woman. You should be thanking us for dragging you away from that Psychology garbage. You’re a genius, you’ll ace it,” Sydney replied, flipping her hair to one side.
"You’ll be fine Tobs, you have to live a little. Would it hurt you to let lose and have fun with us tonight?” Alex begged as she linked her arm through Tobin’s. Alex looked down at their tickets and pointed them in the direction of their seats.
“Fine, but don’t say I never did anything for you two children,” Tobin relented as they made their way down to the floor seats and into the area they’d be standing in. "I can’t even sit during this thing!? Oh god.”
Sydney rolled her eyes scoffed, “Do you know how much these seats even cost? You should be actually kissing my feet right now. Go make yourself useful and get us some beers. Lord knows you could use one,” she said shooing Tobin away towards the concession stands.
"You two are the absolute worst,” Tobin muttered to herself before shoving her hands in her pockets and walking towards the shops. She made sure to remember Alex’s American flag SnapBack in the back of her mind, so she could find her way back.

"I’m so happy you decided to come with me tonight, Pressy,” Kelley squeed as she held on to her best friend’s hand and made their way inside the stadium. "I know you’re still upset about that idiot, who if we are being honest, I could tell he was gay from a mile away. I mean who even uses that much hair gel, ever?” Kelley trailed off before shaking her head “I digress. He shouldn’t have lead you on and it sucks. But, you’re here and you’re going to have fun and we are going to dance till our legs fall off, deal?“
Christen sighed once before nodding "Thanks Kell, I did need this tonight. I’m not sure how I didn’t see that Zack was gay. He was more into shoes then I am,” she said, making herself giggle as she fixed her USA SnapBack that was settled on top of her head. "As long as you supply the alcohol, I’ll supply the dancing,” Christen said with a playful wink.
"You got yourself a deal there girl. You go to our seats and I’ll grab the first round,” Kelley replied before walking in the direction of the concession venders.

Tobin sighed as she tapped her foot impatiently. Patience was definitely not her strong suit. She could hear the music already starting to play, she wondered how long she had been standing in line for. After another twenty minutes she finally got to the front and ordered a few beers. She downed the first two she ordered. If she was going to be forced to dance, she needed some liquid courage. Once she felt tipsy enough, she ordered two more beers for Alex and Sydney before moving to find the seats once again.
After a minute or two of searching the crowd, Tobin spotted the USA SnapBack she took a mental note of before she left. She quickly pushed through a few people and walked up behind the dark haired girl, which for some reason looked darker in the crowd, but she thought maybe it was just the lighting in the stadium. She smiled when she saw the other girl dancing around, it was weird she didn’t see Syd right next to her, but she shook her head and figured the girl had probably went off with a cute boy she ran into. “Here, loser,” she said handing the girl a beer before moving her hips to the beat of the song.
Christen smiled to herself when a cup of beer came into her vision as she took the cup, her vision solely focused on stage. She downed the drink in a couple gulps before setting it down. She grabbed the pair of arms from behind her, assuming they were Kelley’s, as she pushed herself back against the girl’s front and moved to the beat of the music. It’s something Kelley and Christen did often when they went to a party or the bars. It was way more fun to dance with your best friend, than a dumb boy who just gropes at you the entire time.
Tobin laughed when she saw the girl down the drink, before she felt herself being pulled in. Before she knew it, there was her best friends ass, practically glued to her front. "Lex? Did you drink before we came?” She asked with a chuckle, but just figured Alex was drunk. She hadn’t been out to some place like this in a few months, not since Servando had ended things. Instead of questioning things further, she decided to just live a little, she grabbed the girl’s hips and moved with her.
Christen could barely hear what Kelley was saying to her over the loud, blaring music, so she turned around. Her eyes widened when she saw it wasn’t Kelley. Her eyes met with a deep, chocolate brown pair of eyes. She slightly gasped at the situation and at the beauty of the girl she was practically grinding up on. “I am so sorry! I thought you were my best friend! She said she was getting drinks and when I saw your hand with the beer, I just thought it was her!“ Christen said with a blush.

Tobin shut her eyes, she’d never seen Alex move like this before. They’d always danced together when they went out and she was quite enjoying herself if she was being honest. When the girl moved to turn around, Tobin realized it wasn’t Alex.
“I’m so sorry! I thought you were my best friend! She said she was getting drinks and when I saw your hand with the beer, I thought it was her!” Christen said with a blush.
“Oh, you’re not Alex! I totally thought you were my best friend too! You guys have the same hat,” Tobin laughed. “Sorry about that. But, if I may say, you are a great dancer.”
“Thank you,” the petite girl replied, twirling a strand of hair around her finger. “I’m Christen, by the way. And you are…?”
“Heath. Tobin Heath.” Tobin offered with a thumbs up. She really was a dork sometimes.
“Nice to meet you. Uh maybe we should try to find our friends?” Christen said while putting her hand out to shake Tobin’s.
“I think you’re right.”
“My friend, Kelley, is pretty short. It’ll be hard to find her in the sea of people.”
“That’s okay, we can look for Alex. She’s tall, brunette and has the same hat as you.” Tobin said as she turned from Christen to look into the crowd.
