                A long car ride later, they had arrived the location. They all recognized it as Riverside High, the school they were to perform at later that week.

                “This is it? Riverside High? This is the big surprise?! Worth it my ass.” B exclaimed.

                “Do you have a problem B because I do not appreciate the attitude. So you can either drop it or walk home.” Harm snapped at B.

                B remained silent before adverting her eyes to anywhere but Harm’s position. Princess rubbed her arms uncomfortably noticing the tense air that has settled over the group.

                “Harm, should we go in?” She asked hoping to get things moving.

                “Yes.” She responded matter-of-factly.

                So Toxic Twist walked into the high school. They followed Harm through the halls. Surprisingly, there were no students though it was Midafternoon. The atmosphere felt eerie and mysterious. Hannah looked back as if worried about something following, in which Princess comforted her.

                “Harm, what the actual fuck?” Princess said surprisingly calmly.

                “Shush Princess, just follow and…”

                The lights flickered suddenly. Multiple screams was heard including Harm.

                “Can we leave? Let’s just find somewhere else to practice!” Lisa screamed.

                “Harm, I can’t do this,” Vanessa said, earning a few nods across the group. Vanessa, Jasmin, Nicki and Swagga ran back to the entrance. They tried to open the door, but struggled. They couldn’t open it.      

                “Oh my god! Guys it’s stuck!” Nicki screamed with fear in the voice.

                The lights flickered again, earning more screams. Fred walked to the door, followed by Princess and Hannah. They slammed the door as one. It didn’t budge. Lisa, Vanessa and Jasmin joined. It still didn’t budge. Soon everyone was slamming against the door, but it was being stubborn.

                “This door is being as stubborn as a bull!” Princess exclaimed, exhausted from the multiple attempts for escape.

                “Guys… I think we’re stuck.” Hannah said sudden, as her voice quiet, trying to capture the realness of the situation.

                The group of dancers fell silent, letting the moment. Silence fell upon them for a moment.

                It was soon broken by a frustrated scream,

                “Help! Let us out! Let us out!” Lisa exclaimed suddenly, banging her fists against the stubborn door. Her screamed continued for a while before it faded away into a whisper. Fred walked up to her and gently pat her on the shoulder. She lamely attempted to remove his hand but resulted into weeping into his shirt.  Fred awkwardly put his hands around her, comforting her.

                Everyone looked at the scene before them, revealing in this bit of happiness. It was if it the two of them were a light in a dark tunnel. Kass tensed at the interaction between the two. She awkwardly stood there, watching as Lisa fell into hiccups. She noticed Princess grabbed Hannah’s hand and B put an arm around Harm. They were so close with each other. Why couldn’t she get this way with Fred? She always thought it was Brian, but she never considered Lisa to be a barrier.

                Kass cleared her throat hoping to end the moment. Lisa pushed Fred off of her and looked towards the group of helpless dancers. Her face was beet red maybe from embarrassment, maybe something else.

                “What-“Lisa sniffled. “What do we do?”

                Everyone looked at Princess expectantly. She shrugged her shoulders as if offended by everyone’s sudden dependence on her. Then everyone looked at Harm. She opened her eyes wide.

                She was the leader of the group. They relied on her if not depended on her. She got them into this situation. They were expecting her to get them out of it.

                She took a deep breath.

                “We’re going to find another way out.”

                “How?” B yelled at her.

                Harm took a deep breath.

                “By exploring the school of course, what else would we do?”

                The team broke up to join their roommates so they could settle into each of their rooms. The rooms were very beautiful and everyone was excited to relax a bit after the plane ride. But Harm though otherwise.

                Harm went down the hall and knocked on all the doors with B and Kass following in pursuit. She screamed,

 “Come out bitches, time to practice.”  

                Hannah and her roommates were the first to react.

“We just got here, don’t we get a moment to chill?” Princess told her. Swagga and Jasmin came out.

                Harm rolled her eyes.

“Sorry, I guess you forgot we’re performing in a week.”

“Do we even have a place to practice?” Hannah added in. Fred came out, in which Harm turned away.

                Harm smiled.

“You’ll have to wait ‘till everyone comes out.” Vanessa and Nicki came out.

“Well that’s everyone Harm, so where are we practicing?” Princess said with a bit of an attitude.

                Harm clenched her fists.

“You’ll see.”

“But you said wait until everyone was out!” Princess rebutted.

                Harm walked away for many reasons, one of which is so she wouldn’t stab Princess. She reached and elevator and noticed the lack of Toxic Twist member. She called out,

“Are you following or what?”

                Everyone quickly hustled into the elevator with Harm. Fred was sure to stay away from Harm.

                After a few awkward moments of silence, the elevator reached the 1^st floor. Everyone clambered out the elevator, then spreading out into the lobby. Everyone turned to Harm.

                “Alright so, there’s a problem.” Everyone groaned. “I forgot to rent a car, so we have no way to get there,” Harm said sheepishly.

                B suddenly snapped.

“Okay, so you decided that it was okay for us to practice yet we don't even have a ride to this place? What type of sense does that make!  And on top of that, I don't even know where this "place" is! You're for real wasting my time right now. My valuable time that I can be doing so many different things right now. This place better be worth me not knowing because if it's not…”

Everyone stared in the direction of where B was in shock. Harm stamped her foot on the ground.

“Don't question my decisions, and drop that attitude a little bit because regardless, you won't find out until we get there. It's a surprise, is a surprise that damn bad? Chill out B, you'll find out soon enough.”

B rolled her eyes and turned away.

“Now, then let’s find a ride and practice.”

“You can literally just call a Taxi,” Princess said.

“That’s’ a good point, but the problem is there’s 10 of us, and a cab fits like 3 people. Are we going in 4 cabs at once? No. Next plan.” Harm rebutted.

“Uber?” Kass added.

“Why do you want to use Uber? So you can get-,” Fred added in only to be stopped by a jab in the stomach delivered by Kass.

“Why not ask the front desk?” Lisa suggested.

Everyone looked at Harm expectedly.

“Give me a moment.”

Harm went off to ask the front desk about getting a vehicle. After a few moments, Harm returned smiling.

“We got a ride waiting for us! Come on, it’s time to practice!”

Harm then walked out to the parking lot, with the team following. She went up to a black 2016 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter and said,

“This is the ride that the school left for us. Turns out we just had to ask.”

Everyone was impressive, nevertheless, and a bit more joyous now that they at least had a ride.

Harm then climbed into the driver seat and screamed,

“Get in, I’m driving!”

And so, they headed off to practice.
