Chapter 65
Outside the grand theater. Kaylee and Dane, along with their friends, were waiting for Flora, their backpacks slung over their shoulders.
“Hey, kids, are you here to see Rafael too?” A man in a leather jacket approached them and asked, “I’ve got some Rafael’s concert tickets for the town area. Want them?”
Scalpers had already set their sights on Kaylee and her group since they were lingering outside without entering, a scene quite common here.
“No, thanks.” Kaylee shook her head. “We have tickets. Even if they didn’t have tickets, she wouldn’t buy from a scalper.
Disappointed, the scalper walked away.
“Oh, isn’t that Dane? So, you guys actually showed up. Jennifer and the folks from Class 2 strutted over.
Seeing them, Dane frowned, clearly annoyed.
“Looking for scalpers to buy tickets, huh?” They had seen Dane’s group talking to a scalper earlier.
“A scalper’s ticket goes for a five–figure sum. Can you afford it? Ha–ha! Why isn’t Flora here? Isn’t she always so boastful? Why not have her take you in?”
“Why are you even here if you’re just going to start trouble?” Dane retorted, his patience wearing thin.
“Dane, we’re just looking out for you. Maybe if you ask Jennifer nicely, she might just soften up and let you sneak in as part of the crew” Dane couldn’t help but laugh at the absurdity, “We don’t need to. We have tickets, and they’re for the best seats in the house, right in the center of the inner circle.”
Their laughter grew louder. They did not believe a word he said..
“Ha–ha! Seriously? I bet they don’t even have lawn tickets.”
Dane was furious. Earlier, he had handed all the tickets to Flora for safekeeping.
Keeping the tickets with them was a constant worry. They couldn’t eat or sleep well, fearing they might lose them. If Flora had been. there, they would’ve already used the tickets to slap these mockers in the face..
“So, bitten off more than you can chew, huh? Can’t produce the tickets now, can you?” The boy who had spoken earlier felt even more triumphant.
“The tickets are with Flora. She hasn’t arrived yet.”
“Dane, since when have you become so bad at making excuses? The tickets are with Flora? Fine, we’ll just wait and see if Flora can produce the tickets when she arrives.”
Jennifer’s eyes were filled with scom, clearly not believing a word from Dane and his group. She was also eager to see them embarrassed.
There was some time still left before the concert started, so they decided to wait for Flora to arrive.
About fifteen minutes later, Flora and Connor arrived.
As Flora got out of the car first, Connor went to park on the side. Due to the angle, Connor’s back was to them the entire time, so they couldn’t see his face, only a broad silhouette.
Jennifer glanced at the car model with disdain. How could they show off with such an average car!
“Who’s that guy with Flora, so close to her? Could he be her boyfriend?”
