Mary's perspective
Marys laying impatiently on her bed, doodling in her notebook to pass the time waiting for Lily to finish getting ready. The sound of Lily’s hairdryer filling the room from the bathroom. “Can you hurry up already we are going to be late” Marys says, longing to go. “Okay, okay I'm almost done, no need to rush me,” Lily says while turning off her hairdryer. Lily steps out of the bathroom and she's wearing a plaid dark green dress with hints of yellow and white gogo boots and a white headband. “What in the world are you wearing Mary? We're going to a music gig, not the grocery store” Lily says referring to Mary's plain jeans and white shirt. “Ugh, fine ill change '' Mary goes to the bathroom and comes out having changed into a pink tank top and white skirt. “Much better,” Lily says grinning. “Yeah, yeah,” Mary says, putting her black heels on. “Come here”, Mary walks over and Lily spins Mary around. Lily starts putting on a pearl necklace around Mary's neck. Mary turns around and smiles “Beautiful,” Lily says, smiling back. “And you should wear these” Lily says, handing Mary heart-shaped earrings Mary puts them in. “Okay let's go”. “Wait! Makeup” `''Ugh, fine” Mary replies annoyed, flopping her hands to her side dramatically. Lily grabs her makeup bag and sits on Mary's bed Patting it, motioning for her to sit down. Lily grabs pink lipstick and starts applying it to Mary’s lips. “Are you excited?” Lily asks, smiling. “Yeah, I guess,” Mary says, “You're going to have so much fun, you might even meet someone,” Lily says smirking. “Pft, doubt that,” Mary says brushing it off. “You never know,” Lily shrugs, finishing Mary’s makeup. “Okay, let's go now,” Mary says hoping they’ll finally leave, grabbing a cardigan as she walks out the door.
Marlene's perspective
The smell of perfume and cologne colliding, bodies pressed up against each other flood into the small club Marlene and her friend's band is playing at as it opens. Glitter on various party-goers reflecting in the blue-toned flashing lighting. Marlene helped Remus and James set up the band equipment “there here a bit early aren't they?” Remus asked, more annoyed than nervous “early bird gets the worm I guess,” James replied, “isn't that only for mornings?” “I mean… I don't think so?” James pondered “Alright your up in 10!” Peter reminded the crew. Marlene walked off to the dressing room finding Dorcas in there tying half of her hair back and leaving the other half out to fall over her sharp shoulders. Marlene walked up to the mirrors applying black eyeshadow to reinforce the already existing eyeliner “you look good Marls” Dorcas complimented, Marlene smiling back at her and walking back out before poking her head back in shout-whispering “were about to start, hurry!” As she sped off, the brunette shortly running after as the club's lights dim down to create a pitch-black atmosphere. Sirius cued in first with the guitar leading the rest of the band to start as the lights brightened back up once again flashing to the beat of the music, courtesy of Peter the band's tech guy and childhood friend. Sweaty bodies starting to rub up against each other dancing to the music
Those kind of girls tend to know things
Better than I do
And I'm dying
To figure out what she's hiding
She's playing it cool but she's lying
Better than I do
Marlene fingers the strings on her bass and gets lost in the music swaying her body to the music as much as her instrument allows her as the song comes to an end, she looks up into the crowd looking for her friend, bands manager, and the lead singer James’ girlfriend Lily and spots the redhead with a brown-eyed girl studying her delicate features as they make eye contact and she swore at that moment she had never seen anyone as beautiful as that stranger in a club. Her curly dark brown hair and soft shimmery eyeshadow shining under the colorful lighting as the girl danced to the music
