The Concert
Kenny made his way through pockets of people in the crowd as they waited for the headliner to come on stage. Before the opener, he had seen some of his friends on the other side of the venue and was now making his way in the general direction in which he saw them.
“Kenny!” a feminine voice called from somewhere ahead of him.
Kenny quickly scanned the crowd again, looking for who had spotted him first.
“Kenny! Over here!”
The voice didn’t sound like it belonged to anyone in the group of friends he had seen earlier. Finally, his eyes found the bright eyed blonde calling his name. His heart skipped a beat and sunk at the same time. It was his ex…standing with her new husband.
They locked eyes for a split second before he could look away and Kenny knew that she knew that he saw her.
“Ken!”
Kenny sipped his vodka soda and pretended he didn’t hear her, turning back the way he came.
His friends probably didn’t care to see him anyway.
