While laying down on her bed, Aubrey noticed that her cellphone was vibrating. Her notifications were ringing non stop because of her newest tweet. The tweet is about her excitement for the Fifth Harmony concert. There were twelve likes on her tweet and a retweet from a harmonizer, fan of Fifth Harmony.
She also noticed she had a direct notification message. She immediately tapped on the inbox and noticed a message from Kayden.
She suddenly lost her mood. She frowned. "What's the matter with this man?" she hissed. Even though she's hesitating to entertain his messages, she still wants to be nice to him. She swore to herself that she would talk and she would just treat Kayden as a normal person. No hard feelings.

Kayden: Are you going to
Fifth Harmony's concert?

She took a deep breath. Does he not know how to read or does he just not understand English? She rolled her eyes before responding.

Aubrey: Yeah.

She noticed that Kayden immediately read her reply. Even if she didn’t want to assume, she couldn’t control himself.
Is he still going after me?

Kayden: I was wondering ...
Kayden: Who are you with?
Aubrey: I don't understand
why you're asking me this.
Kayden: Oh, sorry.
Kayden: I also bought
myself some tickets.

Aubrey smiled. He knew Kayden had never been interested in the music of Fifth Harmony. He only knows trash music that either have sexual innuendos or just good beat.

Aubrey: Sorry, I'm going
with Miller. :)

Aubrey laughed when Kayden saw her message. Is he pissed off when Miller is probably with the girl?

Kayden fumed in anger. Is she really going with that guy?
He thought Miller was really just a classmate of Aubrey, nothing else. He was wrong after all. When he interrogated Miller before about Aubrey, the answer was that he was not interested. How is he not interested if it preceded him making moves to attract Aubrey? He can't believe this right now.
He also can't believe he only wasted 13,000 just for nothing. He didn't want to say that he wanted to join the two because for sure he would look defeated. Who will he bring to the concert? He is not a known fan of Fifth Harmony to invite and he is also not a supporter of the group in the first place.
"Annoying!" he screamed. He pushed against his computer table.
He thought of giving it to his fans since he has a Facebook page dedicated for his gaming channel. 15,000 likes it. He took a picture of the tickets and posted it to his page.

Miller and Aubrey waited two and a half weeks for Fifth Harmony's concert day. They both decided to skip class today and meet up by 12 pm. Miller's Mom would take them and just pick up Aubrey at their house.
Miller is contemplating what he will wear. Of course, he wants to look good for Aubrey. He did not want to disappoint the girl.
He opened his closet. He roamed his eyes all over his closet. His clothes are all turtlenecks and pullovers because he likes this type of dress. He doesn't want to wear his plain shirts because it's too simple. After looking at his closet thoughtfully for a long time, he chose his pink turtleneck and ripped jeans.
He didn't take long to get dressed. After getting dressed, he made sure to bring the handkerchief, cellphone, wallet, and the concert ticket.
He took the concert ticket and sat on his bed. The moment he stared at the concert tickets, he remembered the day his Mommy Mina scolded him when she said he had spent ten thousand for this concert.

Miller, Mommy Mina, and her sister Tiffany eat together. Not with his father because he was busy working. The end of its shift is by 11 pm. He didn't go to their house to eat dinner because he might have eaten at his workplace or he would have just eaten when he got home.
"Mommy," Miller called to his Mommy Mina. Mina raised her eyebrow in response to her son calling her.
“Yeah? Oh, get more food, ”Mina responded. Miller smiled because that's not what he would say to his Mommy.
“Mommy, I spent ten thousand. From my savings. ” Mina's eyes bulged in disbelief. Did she hear right?
"What for?" she questioned.
"For the Fifth Harmony concert," Miller replied shyly. Mina wanted to chase him but they were on the table so she violently stabbed the pork she was eating.
"Are you serious kid ?!" she exclaimed. “You said it was for the new laptop you were going to buy. You just wasted eight months of your savings. ”
“I really don't know aboutyou. Woe to you when I die. ”
When Mina said her words "woe to you when I die", Miller burst into tears. She didn't expect her son to cry when she said that.
"I'm not dead yet so don't cry." Mina ate what she was eating.
Miller is sensitive to this conversation. He loves his parents so much that he doesn't want his parents to tell such jokes.

He smiled when he remembered that memory. He also delivered a week -long sermon from his Mommy Mina. His Daddy doesn't care because it's his son's money and it's his decision. Her Mom’s sentiments about him wasting 10,000 peso worth of money is what if he regrets that decision?
He just waited for his Mommy Mina to finish taking a bath and they were leaving. It's currently 11:37 am and it's only a few minutes until 12 pm. It is still difficult to travel at this time because of rush hour. Either students going to school or those with jobs coming home, having lunch or coming in.
When Mina finished bathing and getting dressed, she cleaned herself. He also put Miller's cellphone and wallet in a small bag in case they needed it. They walked down the stairs together.
Mina put her hand on her son's arm. “I can’t believe you’re no longer a toddler or a small child. You’ve grown up really well, ”he praised his son. Miller smiled.
Miller closed their front door while Mina prepared their car. Miller quickly ran to their gate to open it. Before he got in the car, he would close their gate.
After closing the gate, he approached the door of the front passenger seat. When he opened the door, her Mommy stopped her by putting her bag on the seat. “It is forbidden to sit here. Do you want Aubrey alone in the back? ” She raised her eyebrow. Miller sighed because Mina was so upset.
He just accepted his fate and sat in the back. Aubrey and I will be side by side here.
Aubrey mentioned their home address. Mina is familiar with this place so she didn't have a hard time going to Aubrey's house. “Miller, please text Aubrey. We are close to them. ”
"Alright, Mommy." Miller can already distinguish Aubrey even far away.
Mina blew her horn and pulled the car aside. Mina opened the car window. "She's a very beautiful child!" she complimented Aubrey. Aubrey heard, nodded and thanked her.
Aubrey was with her Mommy. "Hey there! Your daughter is very beautiful," Mina said to Aubrey's mother.
"Well of course, that’s because of genetics!" They both laughed.
Aubrey opened the car door. As she opened the door, Aubrey's Mommy peeked out. Miller felt awkward but he tried not to be awkward by smiling and waving his hands. "Be careful, ah?" said Mommy Carmen to Aubrey.
“Yes, of course. We will get going,” Mina informed Aubrey's mother. Aubrey waved her hands to her mother.
Miller’s Mommy started to drive. Aubrey and Miller looked at each other. "Hi," Aubrey said to the young man. Miller nodded and smiled.
It was awkward but he liked it. When they had finished, Miller turned to Aubrey.
Yes, he will admit that Aubrey is so beautiful now. When did it disfigure his sight? He can't help but smile. Even simple white long sleeved polo and skinny jeans that show the beautiful shape of the girl's body, it never failed to show them how elegant she is.
