Brian met her at her locker. With him was another boy with dreadlocks who she barely knew.
”Hey Tanya” said Brian. “I had some plans for you today, but then I met my buddy Topher here. We had a little problem… see I owe him some money for some weed he sold me last week and I don’t want to pay.”
Topher nodded glumly at this.
”Coincidentally he just got dumped by his girlfriend today and wants to make her jeloious, so I thought if he asked nicely you might go with him to the concert today? You’ll have to skip class but I know you won’t mind” Brian smiled.
”Yeah babe, go with me to the concert will ya?” said Topher, eyeing her dress and leering at her breasts “It’s an all day Grateful Dead cover band jam, and they are awesome!”
Two hours later, after a long car-ride in silence they pulled up to the run-down theater. In the parking lot Topher offered her a joint. She tried to say no but he insisted. “C’mon, loosen up will ya!” said Topher. Tanya decided things weren’t so bad. Brian hadn’t even seemed to tell Topher the full extent of her submissiveness. Maybe everything would be ok.
They got out of the van. Everyone around her was in tye-dye, in the distance she could hear the music.
”Show us your tits!” yelled a drunken man from the corner. So Tanya lifted up her shirt and flashed him.
”Righteous!” said Topher. Tanya wanted to die. She put her shirt back down.
They went into the theatre.
