Ch. 3CHAPTER 2


"Hey! Andrea" I heard someone call me and I turned to see Generous walking towards to me, I smiled at him.

"Hey"

"Sorry to bother you," he said scratching the back of his neck. "Uh... where is Bam?" he asked. Obviously, that's why he is talking to me.

"She is in the gym, want to burn some fat she tells me" I replied emphasizing the 'want to burn some fat' sentence.

He chuckled a little "Why? She looks perfect to me" he said. Yeah, he really likes her.

I shrugged "So what's up?" I asked referring to why he called me.

"Oh sorry, I want you to give this to Bam," he said handing me two tickets. I looked at it and when I knew what ticket that was I raise my head with my eyes opened wide... it's a...

"Yeah, a Shawn Mendes concert ticket" he completed for me.

"Oh my GOD Generous, how did you get it?" I knew they had limited tickets available.

"Err... my Dad is one of the sponsors there so I could get it before everything was sold out," he said scratching the back of his head again. "It's actually for the both of you, I know Bam will like to take you along, so..."

I totally forget Generous's Dad is in the entertainment industry. He is a Producer, and sometimes a scriptwriter. I shouldn't be surprised. Heard the name Antonio Filet? Rings a bell? Whatever just forget it you'll get to know him later on I guess.

I was speechless.

"And I...err... I also got backstage passes, so you get to see Shawn after the concert is done."

I squealed a little while jumping like a little child that was giving the last piece of cookie in the jar. I did earn a bit of look but I don't care, we are going to see Shawn Mendes. Yippy!

"Oh my GOD Filet thank you for this" I thanked him "Bam is going to scream her lungs out, I just hope she doesn't smuggle any excess food in there. The last thing I want is to be thrown out before we even got in" I say earning a chuckle from him.

"I am most pleased that she'll be joyous to have this"

"Sorry to ask, but how do you know she will love to go to this concert?" I asked him. Because no one is aware of the fact that she has a crazy obsession with Shawn Mendes.

I just got curious.

"I don't want to look like a creep but I overheard when she told you how she would love to go to the concert some weeks ago and coupled it's her birthday on Friday," he says, scratching the back of his head, a slight blush on his cheek.

Filet is really smitten by my bestie.

"Aww... that's so cute, I am glad she's got an admirer who cares so much to go through the stress of getting her these tickets and the pass," I tell him and he just smiled. "Filet she is so going to be grateful for this, but one question," I said.

"Go on" he replied.

"Why didn't you just go give her yourself and make it a date, your first date together?" I asked him.

"Well we both know how Bam can be and I know when she is having the best experience of her life she will love her bestie with her, all through" he explained and I nodded in understanding.

"Thank you so much for this, I hope she sees you the way you see her," I said.

Honestly, it isn't just because he got us both 'Shawn Mendes tickets', or maybe just a little but still. I think Bam should actually reconsider dating this fine piece of human.

"Uh... see you later," he said and walked away.

I walked up to the gym and there I saw my beautiful, foodie sitting at a corner munching something. I shook my head.

"Aren't you supposed to be exercising? You said you wanted to lose a few pounds" I say when I got to her and saw clearly what she was eating. "Seriously? A large-size fatty burger?" I asked her.

"I will exercise later, I need the strength for exercising" she explained to me.

"Where in the world do you get all this food you're eating?"

"What do you want? You're disturbing me" she said and took another bite of her burger.

"I don't think you will be telling me that when you see what I got here," I say holing out the tickets.

She stood and grabbed the tickets from me, when she saw what it was her eyes widened and a squeal came out of her mouth, she was jumping like an excited kid who got what he asked from Santa.

"Oh my GOD, Shawn freaking Mendes concert tickets"

"Be calm girl, people are looking" I said calming her down.

"Since when did you care if people looked at you or gave you weird look, even though you are?" she earned a slap on her arm for her last statement "Ow" she rubbed the place I slapped.

"I don't, just stop screaming, and before you ask Filet gave those to me" I explained.

"What? Generous? Why? And how did he get them? It was limited." She asked.

I sighed because I don't know how she will react when she knows about the ba—

"Ahhhhh..." I heard a scream from no other than my bestie Bam.

"Shhhh... I don't want to serve in detention, you should know how Mrs. Aludio is with noise, especially from people... children, teenagers...ad-"

"I get it, she should go suck it up and even if you serve detention, I will be there with you. Remember BFF" I smiled at her.

"He got us backstage pass too"

"I wonder why he is doing all of this," she said looking at the tickets and passes.

I rolled my eyes like it isn't obvious.

"Dude, he likes you," I said "like don't you see the signs? All the coincidence that shouldn't be, the kind gestures, don't you see them? Or are you blind like me?" I asked her.

"No baby, but I don't want to give him the green light and later find out I am not longer interested, it will hurt so much," she said sitting down. I sat beside her then took her burger to take a bite.

I understand where she is coming from, I will be sad if she leads him on because he is being genuine with his intentions and will be furious if he hurts my best friend. I want them to be happy doesn't mean I should them to be together, if they are meant to be they will be.

"You're right," I say after swallowing the bite I took.

"You are not allowed to eat my food, but I will pardon you because of the good news you bring me"

I just rolled my eyes at her.

"She still doesn't find her senses there" she muttered, but I heard her. I just ignored that comment.

"You should go and thank him, that's the right thing to do, don't you think?" she looked at me and nod.

"True," she said and finished up her burger "I will do so after school, you will take me to him" I agreed.

The day went by so fast, we were in literature class which is the last class for the day.

"So that's it for today" we all felt happy she will be letting us go in time "Not too fast kids," she said earning some groans from us.

"I wish there wasn't school" Bam muttered.

"Hold on girl, the day is almost over," I say tapping her hand.

"So there is going to be a play, it's going to be a shake sphere, I will be picking who you will be partnering with"

Oh no, please LORD let it be Bam Bam.
