"He said yes, AMBER SHE SAID YES!" Sinthea was exited, she couldn't stop jumping. 

"Ok, ok Sinthea, calm down, did he say yes to marriage? Your only a sophomore, You're too young.'' Sinthea laughed at the guess. 

"No, um, how do I put this into words. Well, um uh, you know Jax, that senior we know?" She said slowly twiddling her fingers, nerves to continue. 

"You mean your crush?" Amber's response made her blush red. 

"No! Well not entirely, but don't jump to conclusions. Anyways I asked him if he wanted to go with me to the show tonight, together." Amber's jaw dropped, how did she not see this. It was like an elephant in the room. Sinthea always had a sight blush on her face. 

"Oh is that so, well why do you want him to go with him?" Amber's questions Sinthea hesitate. 

"You know how I've been talking singing lessons from you. And how I've always wanted to be in a show." Amber gave a slight nod. 

"Well I thought I'd surprise him with a song, Ta-Da ." Amber's eyes widened. 

"so you're going to sing for a boy you don't know, at a show you've never seen, tonight?" Sinthea nodded really hard  

"well, you have my support, now we have to get home, we don't have much time before the show." And with that both girl left the school to get ready. That afternoon Sinthea waited outside on the street for Jax. He was a senior, so he had his license. She was in a nice orange shirt and a brown shirt with black leggings. He eventually showed up. He rolled down the windows and called out for her. 

"Come Sinthea, the show's going start." He said waiting for Sinthea to get into the car. 

"So what about youe friend?" Jax asked making Sinthea think of something, sayin the truth would make him think she's crazy. 

"Um, she, uh walked, yeah she wanted to get her cardio up." She blurted out rapidly. 

"Still, it's a long was to walk, are you sure she doesn't need to get picked up?" He asked. 

"I'm pretty sure, she told me, plus she left before me , so if she needs to picked up she call a bus." Jax nodded satisfied with the answer. A few minutes of silence until Sinthea cheered. 

"we're here!" Sinthea pointed at a building with lights and lots of cars. They found a place to park, paid for tickets and sat at the front row. The first few acts were amazing until the act before her was called. 

"Um, Jax I have to go to the bathroom, be right back." She left the audience are to rehearse her song backstage. Meanwhile at the audience area a girl went up to Jax to talk to him, and things escalated. He didn't even notice when the announcer called Sinthea's name, or when she got on stage. She was so excited to surprise him, but irony always finds a way. 

"Jax." Sinthea whispered into the mike, tears started to roll down her cheeks as the person who brought her here kissed another. The mood of the entire show had switched to a moment of heart break. Sinthea dropped her mike on the stage and ran back stage passing her friend Amber. Amber knew she was hurt, she could feel it. Amber grabbed the mike sinthea dropped. 

"sorry ladies and gentlemen we're having some emotional difficulties, but our next act will start soon!'' she rushed backstage to see if Sinthea was there. She made it just in time to see one of the most emotional scene ever. Sinthea was heading to for the exit when jax came up behind her and grbbed her wrist.
