Yvette hurried away as Martha smiled in amusement.
She arrived at school just in time, and heard someone exclaim, âYvie, youâre here!â
Her classmates immediately swarmed her, their faces lit with excitement.
âWe went to Ashtonâs concert last weekendâit was amazing!â
âSeriously, Yvie, thank you! Without you, weâd never have gotten in.â
Tickets to Ashtonâs concerts were notoriously hard to come by. They were expensive and almost impossible to secure with his enormous fanbase. If it werenât for Yvette, they wouldnât have stood a chance.
As her friends gushed over the experience, Alice sat in the corner, feeling the sting of being sidelined.
What was so special about the concert, anyway? She couldnât care less! Still, she hated how easily Yvette stole the spotlight over something so trivial.
âTheyâre just concert tickets. You probably got seats way in the back, right? Thereâs no way you could have secured that many good tickets.â Alice scoffed.
Before Yvette could say a word, Madison rolled her eyes and shot back.
âWhatâs your problem? Yvie got us frontârow seats!â
Alice widened her eyes in shock. She knew better than anyone how difficult it was to get Ashtonâs concert tickets, let alone frontârow seats. It was also exorbitantly priced. Yvette had just handed those out to poor people like it was nothing?
Bitterness surged through Alice, her fists tightening at her sides. She was in the same social class as Yvette, but the latter hadnât even considered getting her a concert ticket.
It was infuriating! How could Yvette leave her out like that? She missed the one concert sheâd been dying to see.
âExactly! The seats Yvette got us were in the front rowâthe best in the house! No one else couldâve snagged those.â
âSomeoneâs just mad because they couldnât get what they wanted,â another classmate added.
Aliceâs face flushed red, but no one paid her any more attention. Instead, they turned back to Yvette, eager to show their gratitude.
âYvie, you really came through for us. Let us treat you to a meal. Itâs our way of saying thanks!
11 Seeing their hopeful gaze, Yvette didnât want to disappoint them. Hence, she nodded with a smile.
âSure.â
âYes! Itâs settled then!â Madison and the others cheered, and soon the conversation shifted back to the concert.
âIt was amazing to see Ashton live. Heâs even better looking in person than on TV. But why did he have to dress so conservatively? I was hoping to see his abs just once!â
âYeah! Ashton is always dressed so properly, even at his concerts. Iâd kill for a glimpse of those abs!â
Madisonâs cheeks turned bright red as she giggled. âSeriously, if I ever get to see those abs, my life will be complete!â
Yvette raised an eyebrow with an amused expression. âYou all really want a picture of Ashtonâs abs?â
âOf course we do!â Madison and the others chorused in unison, their excitement palpable.
âHis stylist always covers him up. With a body like that, itâs a crime to keep it hidden,â Madison lamented.
Yvette couldnât help but laugh at Madisonâs indignant expression. With her round face and flustered demeanor, she looked even more adorable than usual.
Yvette reached out and playfully pinched her cheek. âOkay, I can make that happen.â âHuh?â
