Chapter 58 Mia

• The crowd was screaming like crazy, their excitement practically tangible in the air. It was as if the collective energy of everyone around me was erupting like a volcano, and I couldn’t quite understand it. Was this the kind of frenzy often associated with these people? What was the hype about, anyway? That you’d get a one-night stand and then go home to brag about it? It seemed ridiculous. This tradition was really out of this world.
• For once, though, I felt no guilt about being a bystander. This wasn’t my scene, and I meant it. Usually, saying something like that in front of my friends would leave me feeling guilty, but not here. With these people, I had zero interest, and my only business with them was to find the tattooed guys. Derek, who had a similar tattoo, would lead me to them. That was all I cared about.
• A waiter walked by with a tray of drinks, and I grabbed one, taking a light sip as I continued watching the commotion unfold.
