All the fans are walking away from the concert venue. Aubrey's heart was overjoyed because of this concert. It was Aubrey's first time to go to the concert so this would count as one of the most unforgettable events in her life.
They both stopped walking as someone just shouted. "Aubrey!"
Aubrey and Miller looked to the direction from where they heard the voice. It was Kayden, outside his car. "Boastful only because of a car," Aubrey silently ranted.
"Miller, even though I want to come with you, Mommy said that I should go with Kayden. I’m sorry for wasting your time." Miller nodded and smiled sparingly.
"Oh my gosh, don’t be jealous." Aubrey leaned closer to him and kissed his cheek.
“Thank you, Miller! Next time!"
Aubrey waved her hands as she approached Kayden. The joy on Aubrey's face disappeared when she approached the young man. Miller approached them.
"Kayden, drive Aubrey home properly," demanded Miller.
Kayden smirked. “I’m a good driver, do you think I’ll kill her with my driving? Aubrey's mom won't let me if I don't drive properly. ”
Kayden sighed. “Fine. We are leaving. ”
Miller looked at Aubrey and waved his hands. Aubrey got into Kayden's car, looking all gloomy. Miller watched the car exit the way out of the place.
Even though there was a scar on this day, it did not overshadow the pleasure he felt. This is one major step in his plan, reaching her.

Even though the car was nice, Aubrey didn’t like the way back home. After all, Kayden insisted to her Mommy that he would be the one to pick them up even if Miller's family would pick them back up.
Aubrey stopped in deep thought when she noticed what Kayden was playing now. Kayden's music taste is not her cup of tea. The beat is good but the lyrics are about rudeness. She was irritated. "Please turn off the song," she requested. The young man immediately turned off the song playing inside the car. He just turned the radio on.
"Babe, I miss moments like this," Kayden said.
“Don't call me babe. Our relationship is over for a long time so stop thinking that the two of us will get back together, ”she hissed.
“You can't force me. I still want to call you babe. ” Kayden has that grin on his face that Aubrey didn't want to see. She just shook her head in disapproval.
In a few minutes they arrived at Aubrey's home. Kayden parked the car in front of their gate. “Thank you. Have a safe trip back home, ”said Aubrey in a monotonous tone.
“Yeah, of course. I still have to marry you. ” Kayden winked. Because of Kayden's f*ckboy remarks, Aubrey slammed the door of the car to close it. She never looked at the young man again and went straight inside their house.
She opened the front door of their home and was greeted by three of his friends, Faith, Erin, and Skyler. Her eyes widened as she saw her friends carrying bags inside while talking to her Mommy. “Oh, it's late and you're still here? We still have school tomorrow, don't we? ” Aubrey asked in shock.
“I think you forgot that every March 7, Mayor Cory celebrates her birthday there in our school. She will use that school for her birthday party,” Skyler replied. Aubrey peeked at her wristwatch and looked at what time it was. It's six o'clock in the evening. She immediately smiled. "Sleepover?"
"Wait a minute, I'll just change my sheets!" Aubrey informed them, heading her way upstairs.

Miller felt strangely tired. His throat also feels sore screaming at the concert. He is fine showing this side of himself because he is comfortable with her.
Upon entering the house, he was greeted by the gaze of his mommy and sister. “Oh, how are you? Did you marry Aubrey? ” his Mommy Mina provoked.
"Eh?" Miller struggled against it. "Are you really driving me out of here?"
“No, youngest. You know, you have been living in this world for 18 years but you still don't have a girlfriend, ”he explained to Miller.
The young man smiled. “Don't worry, Mommy. Maybe you'll be surprised the other day, you already have a grandchild. ”
Mina felt a strange shock when her son said that. "You're a shameless child!" Miller ran upstairs to his room but was chased by his mommy's flower slippers.

School again and it seems like nothing happened yesterday. Yesterday was only their free day because the Mayor of Silang had a birthday party at Wangjog High. Everyone who knows Aubrey is aware that she joined the concert with Miller yesterday. She posted their picture on her Instagram story. She bets people are already gossiping about it.
Time flew so fast. If only yesterday they were at the Kia Theater, they're back at their school again. Because it's Wednesday, it means that their terror teacher Ms. Cruz is their teacher again for their first subject.
"Good morning," she greeted.
She slapped the book on the desk in front to the surprise of the students. What is the problem with this old hag? It was still early in the morning but it seemed like her day was already ruined. Anyway, this is not new to Ms. Cruz because she always pours anger on the students.
“Sorry for being absent. My UTI was so bad that my husband rushed me to the hospital,” she explained. “It's a good thing I wasn't there on Monday. What if I don't check up? That means, those two who dated at the Kia Theater will have to catch up on our lessons. ”
Aubrey felt nervous when she heard that from their teacher.
“Am I right, Mr. Aquino and Ms. Torres? ” smiling Ms. asked. Cruz. “There is nothing wrong with what you did. You can date anytime you want but don't forget your duties as a student. What if your teachers asked you to do a lot yesterday? ”
“The whole faculty already knows this, for your information. Fortunately, Ms. Torres has a good reputation so the teachers don't mind it, ” she added.
And here again begins the immortal sermon of Ms. Cruz. What is she rambling anyways when classes are suspended yesterday?
