Chapter 9: PPG

Brick and I were now considered an official couple and we were planning on telling Robin and my sisters at some point. We were nervous about the truth, but we had to tell them. We couldn't keep this a secret for much longer. We decided that within the next month, they would know and Brick and I could live the life of a normal couple.

"OMG! My boyfriend just got us tickets to front row seats for the upcoming hot new boy band. God, they are so amazing. The only thing that sucks is that I have never seen them before. I have no idea what they look like. They must be super hot because their music is super hot! We need to go. I am so excited right now!" squealed Robin as my sisters looked at her with happiness splayed on their faces.

We were all in our loose fitting underclothes we slept in while we heard the awesome news. We were finally going to a real concert together. This was going to be so hip. We all rose to our feet and jumped around with each other like little girls. I was laughing my red head off as I jumped like a madwoman. We all screamed, squealed, laughed, giggled, and bounced for joy on her plush king sized bed. We even went crazy and threw pillows at each other.

After a few minutes of continuous jumping, the door opened revealing a red haired boy who I knew well. He smiled and laughed like he did when we were 12. I noticed him and dropped my jaw with my eyes widened to the maximum. I realized it was the same look I gave him 6 years ago. I must've given him the 'priceless' look since he began to laugh even harder. He fell on the floor and couldn't stop laughing. I even snickered quietly while he laughed. That was my boyfriend, cool wasn't a word I would describe him with, but I laughed anyways.

"Real mature Brick." sighed Robin. "You just walked in on a bunch of girls wearing barely anything."

"Hey, I have known you almost your whole life, I am your brother. It's not like I'm a pervert checking out girls." he said while getting off the floor.

He had red cheeks and his eyes were puffy from laughing so hard. I thought he looked cuter nonetheless. I noticed that Robin crossed her arms and looked at him crossly. She obviously wanted him to leave. He seemed to get the message and left quietly while giving one last inspection of me wearing my white boy shorts and lacy white top. He smiled and I understood what he was thinking. I thought the same thing to, that it was like old times. Without another word, he closed the door.

Later that night, Bubbles announced we were going shopping for the concert. She claimed we needed new clothes to look super hot so we could stand out for the hot boy band. I managed to convince her we should go to the mall first thing tomorrow since she wanted to go right that second. We all laughed as she flipped out due to my lack of passion for our fashion which was so not true. She also managed to get her boyfriend Mitch to set up backstage access for the four of us to officially meet the band. That made us really hyped up. I was actually really excited about the concert. This was going to be fun.

We made plans to meet Mitch at the pizza parlor down the street of the concert so we could walk together to the show. We would then meet the band backstage during the intermission of the concert and then we would spend the rest of the night after the concert shopping for dresses for the upcoming school prom. It never occurred to me that my senior prom was almost here. I had waited for that night long enough and hopefully this year, I could enjoy it with the one person I really loved and cared about. I just hoped he would be willing to go.

After my sisters fell asleep beside me, I managed to pull out enough energy to ask Robin one last question. I wanted to know who we were going to see. I nudged her on the shoulder and she turned to face me full in the face. It was no wonder Mitch liked her. She was beautiful and also really smart. What guy wouldn't want to take care of her?

"Hey Robin, who are we going to see in concert?" I asked.

"Oh, I thought you guys figured that out, but I see not even smart Blossom figured it out." she teased.

"Well, can you tell me?" I asked anxiously as she laid silently.

"Blossom, we are going to see The Rowdy Ruff Boys in concert, the hottest new boy band!"
