Kaz had called Micaela at 10 o'clock on a Friday night, asking her to come to a concert with him and Oliver. She was hesitant and tried backing out, but he was quick to assure her that Leo wouldn't be coming. So she agreed, snuck out her window and got an Uber to the concert.
It was cold outside and she hugged her jacket closer to her as she got out of the Uber, but her jacket didn't keep her legs warm. Her outfit wasn't exactly made for the cold, but she wanted to look cute. She wore a red tube top with a black skirt and black tights underneath and Kaz's jacket that he had let her borrow months ago and she never returned.
Micaela hurried inside and soon enough found Oliver and Kaz. "Hey, Mick." Oliver didn't seem happy, and a little tired.
Kaz on the other hand, was smiling widely at the girl as she walked over. He turned to Oliver with an annoyed look. "Dude, cheer up. We're at a concert, not a funeral. We get to go 'yeah! Micaela's here!'" He wrapped an arm around her shoulder and shook her. Then he dropped it and put on a frown. "Not, 'I'm so sorry for your loss.'"
"Yeah, what's up with you?"
"I'm just bummed because Skylar had to cancel last minute and now I'm with you three instead." Oliver explained.
Micaela furrowed her brows. "One, two..." she counted her and Kaz in confusion. Kaz ignored eye contact with her and put his hands to his hips.
"Kaz... why are you standing like you lied about something?"
"They're all out of nerd clusters..." Leo's voice made her look up with wide eyes. And he soon had the same reaction once he reached his friends and realized her standing there. "So I got some sour patch kids instead." He held up the bag, still staring at Micaela.
Lucky for them, the band got on stage and the audience began cheering. The concert was beginning. "Woah!" Kaz forced on a smile, wrapping an arm around Leo and wrapping the other around Micaela.
"Hello ladies and gentlemen! I am Jade!" The woman on stage shouted as the audience cheered for her. Well, everyone besides Leo and Micaela. "Are you ready to rock?" Micaela pushed Kaz's arm off of her, clearly mad about Leo being here. "I can't hear you!"
The audience cheered again. All Micaela wanted to do was leave. Tears threaten to fall down her face, so she just stared at the girl on stage. Oliver moved closer to Micaela, just close enough for her to feel his arm touch hers. So she knew he was there.
"No, I really can't hear you." Jade turned to the side of the stage. "There's a lot of static in my earpiece." They must have fixed the problem pretty quickly cause ten seconds later she turned back to the crowd. "Okay, lets try this again! Are you ready to rock?"
"I'm gonna go to the bathroom." Micaela turned to Oliver and said before she walked off without waiting for a response. She pushed her way through the crowd, sniffling and pulling her earlobe. When she finally made it out of the crowd, she suddenly felt overwhelmed. There were so many people, so many strangers.
