Chapter 7: Free Aurora tickets?!

✿Maybellen✿

It's been a few weeks since I cried in front of Zach. I'm still embarrassed. He saw me cry, he saw me having an anxiety attack. He knows my life too. What if he told everyone? Or betrays me or leave me for that. I mean we aren't necessarily "close" but we are close enough that he makes me stay at his house right?

I don't anymore. It's confusing and frustrating, but it's better than going back there.

You see his house smells delightful, but my house smells like alcohol and cigarettes. There's a huge difference.

I walked with my head down frowning, with my hands in my pockets. I'm listening to my Spotify playlist. I have to listen to the ads because I can't get premium but it's okay.

Just then someone grabs my light pink bookbag and collapses me to the floor. My eyebrows rose in confusion.

"Who the fawk dared to do that?" I mumbled as I clenched my fist.

"Why are you walking like some loser, you bum?" Zach stated, rolling his eyes.

Of course, it was the molten rat, Zachary.

"Don't call my baby face that," Theo says as he pushes Zach with a smirk. He pulls me up and reaches for my hands.

Emily walks towards me outside, jumping up and down and shrieking, almost crashing into a tree.

"Guess what, guess what, guess what!" Emily shouted.

"Shut up," Theo smirks.

"I got freaking tickets to Aurora show! For free!" Emily says jumping up and down.

"No freaking way!" I screamed as I shook her body.

"That's impossible, your a loser." Theo shrugs.

"I have 4 tickets, and you're not invited. How about that?" Emily smiled.

Theo pushes Zach out of the way and he falls while Theo stands in front of Emily.

"You know I was just joking elf, it could be me, Maybellen, monkey, and you?" Theo coolly stated.

"Who the fuck is the monkey?" Zach rolls his eyes up to the right and makes wide hand movements just as he's about to hit Theo.

"Calm the fuck down dude," Theo says in a sassy tone as he bobs his hand from side to side.

"Omg, you're a girly pop!" Emily replies, giving Theo a blank stare.

"I support you unconditionally, girl," I smirked.

"Okay, but anyways, the show starts today and starts around 11:00 pm," Emily says bringing back the topic.

"Eleven?! That's too late. We're not going" Zach demanded.

"Don't be a bummer you jerk," Theo told him.

"But don't you think that's odd? Even if the show started at eleven pm, we would come home around 4:00 am." I quietly agreed with Zach but was loud enough to hear.

"So what? My parents won't care, Zach and Theo's parents won't either?" Emily shrugs.

As I reluctantly agree, I say, "Okay fine, I'm in."

"Same." Theo agreed.

"I guess I'm also in," Zach says, rolling his eyes.

We get into Zach's car and I sit in the front, and Emily and Theo sit in the back.

"I wanna hear some music." Theo groaned.

"Shut up," Zach mumbled.

"Please Zach, the energy in here isn't right," I begged.
