"Boy, can I tell you a wonderful thing?"


I just remembered that there is stuff I never got to tell you about. I forgot to mention what happened to us during our birthdays, Christmas, Valentine's Day, and all those other celebrations! I don't think you'll find this useful for the rest of the story but it's nice that you know, right?

Let's start with our first celebration together—October 20, Aubrey's birthday.

It was a month after my first day at Sherwood. It was also a month after Aubrey and I had our first date. Shortly after that we got together so we were also sort of celebrating our first monthsary.

[Why do we even need a monthsary? Anniversaries are more special than montharies.]

The two of us went to this small restaurant near where my house was that served coffee, hot cocoa, and some regular food with a little twist. They were mostly pastries but they were slightly unusual.

"I'll have a chocolate-cheese-banana cupcake, a strawberry-apple-coffee loaf slice, and a hazelnut cocoa with two extra servings of large marshmallows," Aubrey said to the waiter. "Oh, and also a scoop of chocolate and chilli ice cream. And I'll also have a glass of water to go with it to drain the sweetness."

The waiter nodded, wrote everything down, and smiled at her.

At the stage of the relationship we were in, I was a bit protective so I assumed every guy was trying to flirt with her—in this case, I thought the waiter was flirting with Aubrey.

"What would you like, sir?" he asked me.

I looked at the menu and eyed the waiter slightly angrily. "I'll have the banana-yogurt-cornflake cake slice and a shot of mint espresso."

He nodded and smiled nervously. "Okay…please wait a few minutes."

"Glitch," she said then hit my arm lightly. "Don't scare the waiters!"

I apologized and, not long after, the waiter came back.

"Here are your cupcake, your bread slice, and your cake slice. The drinks will be here shortly. In the meantime, please enjoy the paintings on the walls or the books on these shelves—which we encourage you to read."

Aubrey nodded and walked towards the bookshelf. She went back to our table with one book in hand. The title wasn't familiar to me.

"What's that book you're holding?" I asked.

She shrugged. "I don't know but it seems interesting."

She sat down and put the book on the table next to the plate with her cupcake. The title read: Amber. There wasn't a proper cover—it was just a hardbound book covered in tan leather with dark gold letters in the front that say "Amber".

"Is there a plot at the back?" I asked.

She nodded. "It's about a couple who found each other on the beach. I don't really know what else happens but I want to read it. The book seems short so I guess it's not gonna be hard to finish while I'm here."

{Author's Note: Don't even bother looking up for that book. It's one of my fan fictions here on the website.}

"Your drinks, sir and ma'am," the waiter said as he laid the mugs on the table.

Aubrey smiled. "Thank you, kind waiter. You may serve the ice cream later."

The waiter left and the two of us started eating our pastries. The cake slice I ordered was very good and I wasn't expecting bananas to mix well with yogurt and cornflakes! It was really moist and not spongy at all.

Aubrey looked like she was enjoying her bread and her cupcake. While eating she would flip through the pages of the book.

She was pretty when she was reading.

"I never thought of you as a bookworm," I said with a smile. "I always thought of you as the rich girl who doesn't have time for these kinds of things."

She looked up from her book and smiled back at me. "I read sometimes but I like it more when the books have pictures. That is why I collect books!"

"You have a book collection?" I asked. "You have got to take me to your room some time. What books are in it? Harry Potter? The Hunger Games? Twilight?"

Her smile disappeared as she shook her head. "No! Those books aren't fun at all. They're so…long and would take me hours to read."

"If you don't collect Harry Potter books, what do you collect?"

Her smile returned. "I collect illustrated story books!"

I looked at her with confusion. "Illustrated story books?"

She nodded. "They're mostly children's books but I don't mind. My favourite book in my collection is called 'Love You Forever' but I also own books like 'The Land of Stories: The Wishing Spell', 'Be My Valentine?' and 'The Tale of Three Trees'."

My girlfriend collected children's books. That wasn't weird at all.

She sipped her cocoa and continued to read. I could see her eyes widen. She held the book closer to her face and blushed.

I took three more bites of my cake and watched her blush even redder.

"What's the matter, Aubrey?" I asked her.

"Nothing!" she said as she nervously took another bite of her cupcake. "I'm just so in love with this banana-chocolate-cheese cupcake!"

I knew she was acting like that because of what she read. What was going on in the book?

Not long later she sighed and put the book on her lap, eyes still on the book. She flipped the pages and just smiled at the book. After a few minutes she was done with the book.

"Oh," she said after closing it.

"That is one short book," I said to her. "What happened in it?"

She didn't reply. Instead she quickly finished her pastries and asked for the ice cream.


Our second celebration together was my birthday—November 26. We skipped school that day.

It was my fifteenth birthday and Aubrey told me to keep my eyes closed as she brought me somewhere.

"Where are you taking me?" I asked.

She giggled. "It's a secret."

Not long after, I finally opened my eyes. I was in front of a swimming pool. It was HUGE!

"Where are we?" I asked.

Aubrey smiled, took off her denim miniskirt, and said: "We're in a country club at the Hamptons."

She jumped in the pool and brought her head above the water's surface.

"You brought me to the Hamptons?" I asked as I walked towards her. "I'm not even in the same social class as you!"

"That's why this is a surprise," she said. "You get to experience being rich when you're with me and I thought a trip to the Hamptons would be the perfect gift."

Surprisingly enough, she pulled me in the pool. I was lucky enough to be told to dress in swimming attire before getting inside her limo.

"Well, the Hamptons is definitely a surprise," I told her. "Tell me something: is swimming the only thing we'll be doing here?"

She put a finger over or mouth, showing that she was telling me that she was gonna keep quiet about it. "It's a secret!"

"I knew it."

After a few hours of swimming—and a lunch break in between—the two of us finally headed to a Japanese restaurant nearby. I don't remember what it's called. All I know is that it's very fancy and there were only a few people there.

"Interesting choice, Aubrey," I said with a smirk. "You took your Korean boyfriend to a Japanese restaurant."

"Shut up!" she said as she nudged me slightly. "I have a weakness for sushi. If you want, you can just go to the Korean restaurant next door."

"I was just teasing," I said. "Let's have some sushi!"

The two of us entered the restaurant and went to a table she reserved for the two of us. We ordered different things—she asked for California rolls, kani rolls, and some other kind of maki while I asked for pork tonkatsu and onigiri.

[No sushi for me. I didn't order any because I knew what would happen if I didn't.]

Our food came to our table and I started eating my onigiri. It was DELICIOUS! I've never tasted a well-made onigiri. I don't know what was in it but I didn't care. All I knew was that it was amazing.

[Not as amazing as Aubrey in bed. Was that too much? Oh well.]

I watched as Aubrey put a piece of sushi in her mouth. She covered her mouth as she chewed and removed her hand after she swallowed. She looked at me and put another piece of sushi in between her chopsticks.

"Do you want one?" she asked.

I nodded. "Can I?"

She put the sushi in my mouth and I ate it.

[That was what I was talking about! I didn't order sushi because I knew Aubrey would offer one.]

"Thanks, Aubrey," I said, "for everything."

"You're welcome," she said. "Happy birthday."


The two of us didn't get to spend Christmas and New Year's Eve together but we did spend our first Valentine's Day.

It was during school when I opened my locker and noticed a box. It was a pink box with a red ribbon around it. Hanging on the ribbon was a card with my name on it. It wasn't from Aubrey but the box made me know it was Valentine's Day.

"Happy Valentine's Day!" said a bunch of girls to some guys at the lockers.

I never liked Valentine's Day. Valentine's Day was the day when girls gave guys some hit the guy doesn't need or will finish in a few minutes. Here in the US, it's when guys and girls act all lovey-dovey and it made me sick.

"Hey Yoo, do you have a Valentine?" asked one of my classmates from ballet.

I took out the box from my locker. "So far, just this dumb box from a girl I'm unfamiliar with."

I read the card. I was right; it was from someone I was definitely not familiar with. I opened the box and saw some chocolates. They looked homemade—which means they look more appetizing than store bought ones.

[Unless they're from Royce. Those are really good.]

"Want one?" I asked him. "I don't really need these chocolates."

He shook his head. "No thanks. I'd rather not eat something that wasn't meant for me."

"Whatever you say," I said, closed the box, and then put it back in my locker. "I'm getting back to class."

Since it was still my freshman year my next classes were Algebra II and Biology. Right after them was contemporary. During contemporary class I was asked by the teacher to perform my own impromptu routine as a Valentine's Day request by some secret admirer. Thinking it was Aubrey, I agreed to do it.

However, before I started dancing, the song that played was some cheesy song by some boy band. I just started dancing along to the lyrics and got some applause. The loudest applause came from a girl in that class.

"Bravo, Glitch!" she said happily.

I left the classroom and went to my locker to get my water bottle. In the locker were three more boxes of chocolates.

By the end of the day I left school with all six boxes of chocolates and two roses—none of which were from Aubrey. As I waited at the bus stop I was met with a limo.

The windows rolled down to reveal Aubrey.

"Get in!" she said to me.

I did as told and got in the car. I noticed she was holding something in her hands.

"Before you say anything, this is not handmade chocolate," she said before planting a kiss on my cheek.

"What is it then?" I asked. I didn't really want anything. All I wanted to do that Valentine's Day was spend time with her.

She gave me the box and I quickly untied the bow. I removed the lid and saw a shirt. It was a white shirt with a big red heart that has big blue eyes.

"Wow," was all I could say.

I recognized that shirt. It was the shirt that Niall Horan from One Direction wore in some of their interviews, photo shoots, and other stuff!

"Thank you."

She put a hand on my chin, made me face her, and smiled. "Thank me properly."

I managed to make a small laugh. I sat up straight, looked her in the eye, and smiled.

"Thank you, Aubrey."

"You're welcome, Glitch."

I leaned in close and kissed her.


Author's Note: Hi there! Sorry for the long hiatus I've been having. I have some really bad writer's block and it felt like the story was going to end very quickly. Here's a filler chapter!

By the way, it was my birthday last August 23rd. Whoever wants to greet me a 'happy birthday' do it now before it's too late! Consider this my birthday gift to you guys. I know it's not worth much but what do you expect? It's my birthday gift to you. I'm quite frugal.

How do you guys like the new cover? I made it myself. If the dude doesn't look like Glitch, I'm sorry. I can't find any good pictures of him or any of his lookalikes. I've met one of his lookalikes once but I don't know where the folder with his picture is in. The Glitch on the cover is Harry Shum Jr. You might have seen him on Glee or "The Last" by Wongfu Productions. The girl is just Miss Aubrey's lookalike.

Now, the moment that I've been waiting for; the question of the chapter!

What is your favourite song to dance to that isn't in Dance Central?

I recommend you look for the list of Dance Central songs because I'm including the songs from DC1, DC2, DC3, and all the DLC.

The long I love dancing to is called "Madhouse" by Little Mix. It's not very danceable but it just seems so fun to make choreography for it!

Stay tuned for the next chapter. Not-so-spoiler alert: it's gonna be a part two for the celebrations.
