After the stress of performing, Ari wanted to immediately rip off the jumpsuit and chug a gallon of ice-cold water before jumping into the shower.
His body was drenched in sweat, his hair was clinging to his neck, and he felt completely disgusting in the outfit he was wearing.
Unfortunately, he had to stand on stage while the MC spoke to them before closing out their opening performance.
Seeing William head straight for Ryan Leary with the princely smile he loved to put on for the public, Ari watched him suspiciously before looking away.
The blonde boy seemed to be having microphone issues and swapped with Benjamin before giving his spiel, and Ari just stood towards the back and scanned the audience, wondering what they thought of the performance overall, since it was such a diverse crowd with people operating on opposite ends of the spectrum.
