The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 1017

Chapter 1017

Serena dialed David's number in front of her friends, and the onlookers couldn't help but comment, "How lucky, Serena, to have a pop star's number."

The call was picked up quickly on the other end.

“David, any chance you could spare a few concert tickets for me?" Serena asked with a smile, her friends watching eagerly. "You see, my girlfriends are big fans, and they're dying to see your show, but they couldn't get any tickets. You're just too popular."

Perhaps fearing David's refusal, Serena added, "They've been begging me for a while now. 1 hate to turn them down, but I don't want to put you on the spot."

David, feeling a bit apologetic, responded, “Serena, I just gave the last of my tickets away. Next time, I promise, I'll save more for you guys."

"What? You're out of tickets?" Serena's words were met with a palpable tension from her friends.

Their pleading eyes were turned to her, hoping she could persuade David.

"L originally had a dozen or so tickets," David explained. "But I promised my manager that I'd save about seven or eight for family and friends. The rest were given to thank those who've helped me out."

Although the tickets he'd given away weren't the best seats.

The best ones had already been given to Arabella and Romeo.

"Tell your friends I'm sorry, okay? Next time, I'll be sure to save more for you guys,’ David said just as someone called for him. “I've got to head to rehearsal. We'll talk later"

“Wait, David." Serena began, but the call had already ended.

She looked at her friends, their eyes filled with anticipation and disappointment. “David had a dozen or so tickets,’ she explained, “but he promised his manager he'd save most of them for family and friends. The rest were given away, so there's none left"

"Not even one?"

"But his first show is in Summerfield, and I really want to go!"

"Serena, can't you ask David to sneak us in?"

Celebrities did it all the time.
