Chapter 12: The Concert
When they got into the theater Emma and Tancred sat next to each other and Alicia and Lysander sat directly behind them so they could hear everything.
The concert was great. Fidelio and Gabriel were amazing, even Charlie sounded pretty decent. About half-way through the concert Tancred gave Emma the disc. Emma had to put a hand over her mouth to keep herself from shrieking with joy, and Lysander had to stop Alicia from shrieking triumphantly when it was official that the two art students were dating again.
It was only after that happened that allowed them to really enjoy the concert.
Only a few minutes after they'd all settled down did Alicia grab Lysander and Emma's capes and blow in Tancred's ear. Tancred and turned around irritably and Lysander and Emma just looked at her. She pointed down towards a row of seats near the front. {All the students sat in the back.} That's where they found all their parents. They all nodded as they saw them.
Silence was the most important rule during a concert, so Alicia spent an agonizing ten minutes trying to get them to understand what the big picture was. Once she was on the verge of getting kicked out and they still hadn't understood she signaled to them that she'd explain after the show. This they understood.
Later…
Alicia looked ready to explode with excitement, but before she could explain Manfred noticed the signs. Of course he was furious.
"Who did this?!"
"I did!" Olivia piped up.
Manfred glared at her for a few moments. "Vertigo…. I'll let you off this time because I don't feel like having you around during detention time, but be warned, this is not the week to test your luck." he said as he strode away.
"Liv, I would've confessed!"
She shrugged. "I don't mind helping out. Your signs are brilliant by the way."
"Thanks." Alicia then dragged the whole gang, Charlie and everybody, to the first deserted classroom she could find. It was there that she told them what she'd seen.
Paton and Julia had had engagement rings.
