Matthew walked up to the man who was giving out the tickets. "Um hi could I have one ticket please?" he asked. The man scanned the list up and down, "Name?" he asked briefly. The boy coked his head to the side, "Matthew.." he said, thinking maybe it was a security thing or something. He scrolled through the list a few more times before smiling, "There you are. Enjoy the show." he said, handing the boy a ticket.
Now Matthew was really confused however, he didn't stand around to think about it. He quickly and quietly moved to the audience of the contest. hall. It took him a minute but he spotted Dan, Emily, and Jason. He was hesitant about approaching his friends again after leaving for no good reason and he was sure that the explanation of why he was back so soon would be even more ridiculous to say. The boy was standing in the audience and didn't really know what to do. He knew he wanted to be seated before Ashley started because maybe someone would kick him out for standing, who knows?
He took a deep breath and began walking down the row all his friends were seated in.
