Twisted Prologue 1

Twisted- Prologue

By Princessdaaa

Harm couldn’t quite wrap her mind around the situation. She looked Fred in the eyes with such intensity, Fred couldn’t help but let his composure fault for a moment before regaining it. An Awkward silence filled the atmosphere. After what felt like centuries, Harm broke the silence.

“Can you repeat what you just said?” Fred took a deep breath.

“I was wondering if Brian, you know him, could join Toxic Twist?”

“So you want your boyfriend, to join Toxic Twist?”

“Pretty much.”

Harm took a deep breath. It really peeved her when Toxic Twist’s members asked if friends could join. She relaxed in the old white office chair. It creaked under her weight. She rubbed her temple in an effort to show her irritation. She sat back up and resumed the staring game. She struggled to find any words. She at last settles on a few,

“We’ll discuss this after practice”

She then promptly got up and walked out into the Toxic Twist Practice room, leaving a quiet Fred. Everyone was in their expected spots, waiting on their leader Harm. Princess and Hannah were sitting in front of the mirror, with Lisa bouncing above them probably telling them of the newest Fifth Harmony song. She couldn’t help but notice the lack of distance between Princess and Hannah, and silently chuckled. Vanessa placed herself in a corner with a book while Nicki was chatting loudly to her. Kassady and Bianca, which everyone referred to Kass and B respectively, were talking about something she wasn’t quite sure of but was sure that she’d find out later. Jasmin and Swagga were idly in the background, on their phones. They were the new ones, so they haven’t quite found their place in the group.

Harm clapped her hands twice to get everyone’s attention. Everyone looked towards her, showing that they were paying attention.

“Guys, we got invited to perform at a school pep rally!” she started.

“How much are we getting paid?” Princess yelled out.

“$550 dollars”

Princess showed approvals with a quick nod. Harm continued.

“We’ll be performing at Riverside High, a school down South in Arizona. They are having their pep rally to pep up their students before the basketball team goes off to finals.”

“Did you create the dance already?” Lisa asked curiously.

“She did, the song is victorious,” Princess answered for Harm. She usually knew about these things before the other members.

Kass’ face lit up at the name “Victorious.” Before long, there was a sing along to Panic! At the Disco’s Victorious. Harm smiled at the remarkable chemistry between everyone.

Everyone tried to be friends with everyone else on Toxic Twist. They welcomed each other’s perfections and imperfections. They were like siblings and Harm was their eldest, leading them along. She loved the connection between the Toxic Twist members, it was her favorite part of anything else.

Harm decided it was time to teach everyone the dance, so she clapped her hand twice. Everyone stopped and looked up to their leader.

“Guys, Princess and I shall teach you our newest dance, then I’ll tell you of formation and lyrics. So everyone stood up. You guys stretched right?”

Across the room, she saw a series of nods.

“Good, more time to learn then!” Princess got up and positioned herself so she would be facing everyone, but not before helping Hannah up. Harm took a spot beside her.

“Where’s Fred?” Kass said. Harm understood where this question came from. She noticed the ever so flirtatious relationship between Kass and Fred. She could dream of the day it would become a real thing, but knew it would never happen for multiple reasons. One of them would be Fred’s boyfriend, Brian.

Harm rolled her eyes at Kass. “Not sure, maybe he’ll show up sooner or later.” If she was right, Fred probably left through the back door of her office. Likely wouldn’t discuss the Brian situation until later on, or hopefully never.

And with that last note, Harm and Princess showed everyone the dance. It was a 3-minute long dance which could be described with one word as, “Attention!” The steps were a bit difficult, Jasmin got confused, Nicki kept bumping into B, and Lisa got a call from her Grandmother in the middle. Nevertheless the difficulties, by the end of the hour, everyone could do the dance. A few more practices and they would be able to do it perfectly in time with each other and the music.

At the end of practice, everyone was tired and sweaty. With water bottles pulled out, the dance studio was filled with a comfortable silence. Everyone patting the sweat on their head, quietly sipping on the refreshing liquid. Harm smiled at her group. It was true that sometimes they would fight, or do something… how can she say it lightly... unwanted, she knew everyone loved each other. Riverside better get ready for Toxic Twist.
