Chapter 374: Date (1/2)
”Congratulations, young lady. Come on up to get your prize,” the teacher said. Emily smiled and walked to the front.
The teacher put up something in the air and said, ”This is a ticket that contains 1000 points. You can use it to—”
”Ahem” another teacher coughed from the side.
”Oh, right. Haha, it's a secret for now. Nearly forgot about that. What it is used for, we will let you know tomorrow. For now, you guys can go do whatever you want. Just return here by 8 pm.”
”Anyone who doesn't return by 8 will have credits deducted from their finals,” the teacher threatened.
Emily walked back while curiously looking at the ticket she had in her hand. ”Do you know what this is?” she asked as she handed him the ticket.
Alex looked at the ticket and his eyes shined a little. A smile appeared on his face that even turned a little mischievous. ”They have it here too? It seems tomorrow will be a lot of fun,” Alex said mysteriously.
”What? Do you know what this is?” she asked expectantly.
”Yes, but as the teacher said, I think it's better to not tell you until it's time. You might like the surprise more,” Alex said.
”Hmm… so this is good?” she asked.
”Yeah. If the price isn't different here, then it should cost like 50 dollars,” Alex said.
”Oh, then it's not that bad. But I don't think I will enjoy whatever this is alone. Do you want to come with me?” she asked.
Alex decided to tease her and said, ”Miss Emily, that sounds like an awful lot like you are asking me out on a date for tomorrow.”
Emily blushed a little when she heard that. ”Andwhatifiam?”
”Sorry, what was that?” Alex asked.
”And what if I am?” she said.
It was Alex's turn to blush. He gathered all the confidence he could and said, ”then I am very much obliged. In return, since we have 3 hours to ourselves, will you allow me to take you out on a date as well?”
Emily smiled. ”Yes, I will.”
The two went out and looked around the city. It was starting to get dark, and the city was starting to light up. Alex and Emily went around the city looking at the different things.
They tried out some small snacks, went around malls to go shopping, and even stood around a street performance and enjoyed it. Alex dropped a 20$ bill before leaving.
”We should return now, or we will be late,” Alex said.
”Yes, let's go back,” Emily complied.
”Open your eyes!” A man suddenly started shouting a bit far away from both of them. ”Look. Look and you will see the truth. They lied to us. People, Just look.”
The man screamed at every passerby. ”Just look for once. I promise you, I am not going mad. Just look,” the man shouted as he kept pointing towards Alex's location.
