Thirdy is looking from afar from where he's sitting. He looks so calm while waiting for Sofia to arrive. Thirdy is courting Sofia for 3 months now and they're planning to watch her favorite band, After Dawn..

"Hey there Thirds! Ready ka na?"

Thirdy just nodded kaya they entered the bar immediately. Eto yung bar na decent-looking and may mga bands na tumutugtog every night, and one of the reasons why patok 'tong bar na 'to is because of After Dawn. They are an almost all-female band. They're all girls except for their vocalist. Nakadisguise sila and they only have their screen names to identify them

"Oooohhh this is good Sofi! Good thing naisipan mo akong dalhin dito..." sabi ni Thirds kay Sofia while she's ordering some cocktails for them

"You'll love it here! I really don't like bars na puro party lang kaya I discovered this place. Madalas kami mag hang out dito with my friends..." Sofia said with enthusiasm, showing pure adoration in this place

"That's good! Maybe I should bring Luigi and the gang here sometimes..." He said

The stage is ready and a group of people holding their instruments in heavy make-up and wigs showed up on stage while everyone cheered for them

Wow they're really famous. He thought

"Good evening everyone! This is After Dawn. We hope that you'll enjoy our set list for tonight!" Their vocalist said..

"Let me introduce my bandmates..."


"Michaela on drums!" Michaela performed a drum routine that made everyone hyped up


"Joanna on keyboards!" she played little adlibs on her keyboards and smiled


"Bianca on lead guitar!" Thirdy was shocked because the screams turned double in volume pero Bianca just raised her hand and didn't do anything else


"my co-vocalist, Greyson!" The guy just waved


"...and yours truly, Kimberly! And we are After Dawn"


Kimberly turned around and counted 3... 2... 1...


Bianca started the song with her guitar and Thirdy just can't take his eyes on her, seeing how simple and focused she is on playing the guitar

(please play the attached video)

~ I'm gonna take my time
Make sure that the feeling's right
Instead of staying up all night
Wondering where you are ~

"Thirds okay ka lang?" Sofia asked kaya nagulat si Thirdy

~ Miles and miles away
In a town in another state
I wanna know if you just can take
The thought of us apart ~

"Oh yeah I'm fine. Ang ganda kasi nung song..."

"I know! They're good no? Michaela is my fave! Ang cool kasi kapag girl yung drummer..." Sofia said

If I'm gonna fall in love
There's gotta be more than just enough
I gotta get that old feeling
I gotta get that old high

Thirdy find himself grooving to the song so much and he loved that this type of music is a chiller one

I can't stop wondering why
You're taking so long to find
Maybe I should just let go
But baby all I know

Is I'm gonna fall in love
Someday, someway you'll show up
I'm gonna get that old feeling
I'm gonna get that old high

If I'm gonna fall in love
There's gotta be more than just enough
I gotta get that old feeling
I gotta get that old high

You got a love to own
Gotta live life like a rolling stone
Gotta get that old feeling
Gotta get that old high

If I'm gonna fall in love

Gotta get that old feeling
Gotta get that old high
Gotta get that old feeling
Gotta get that old high

Sofia and Thirdy just enjoyed the night pero mas nag enjoy tumitig si Thirdy sa babaeng hindi niya naman kilala...

~ If I'm gonna fall in love ~

"Good night Sofi! Thanks for tonight..." Thirdy just dropped Sofia in front of their house

"No problem Thirds.. Ingat ka pauwi!" ngumiti lang si Sofia pagkatapos ay umalis na rin si Thirdy

While driving, he decided to drop by a fastfood chain. Instead of doing a drive thru, he decided to dine na lang since hindi rin naman siya makakakain nang maayos while driving. He found a parking space agad kasi konti lang naman yung mga customer

Thirdy ordered a burger, fries, and a large drink and got his queue number. Nakakita naman siya agad ng upuan and patiently waited for his food.

Nagtingin tingin siya sa paligid when he saw a girl na nakaupo sa sulok while holding a book and may dalawang odd looking na lalaki na nagtatanong if pwede bang makiupo ehh sobrang dami namang vacant seats. Pinakiramdaman niya yung nangyayari and saw na uncomfortable na yung girl kaya nagdecide na siya na mag interfere

"Ehem, excuse me. Kasama ko po siya. Baka pwedeng sa iba na lang po kayo since marami pa namang tables na pwede niyong ioccupy..." sabi ni Thirdy with a little fierceness in his voice. He's also kinda tall and athletic kaya natakot yung dalawa and umalis din kaagad

"uhm, thank you?" the girl said with complete uncertainty that made Thirdy laugh

"Did I stunned you?" the girl just shook her head

"By the way, I'm Thirdy..." He reached out his hands and they shake hands

"Hi I'm Beatriz, Bea na lang..." she said while smiling

"You shouldn't be eating here alone at this hour yah know. It's 12 midnight and it's dangerous..." she looked at her watch and just shrugged

"I don't really mind. Ayoko rin naman magstay sa bahay kasi puro away lang naman naririnig ko dun..."

Thirdy felt sad for Bea but Bea just smiled and just continue to read her book

"Are you still studying?" Thirdy asked

"I don't really spill my personal infos with a person I just met..."

"You just said your name!" Bea just let out a little laugh and put her book in her bag and stood up

"I only did that kasi I know na di naman na tayo magkikita after this. Just consider that as a bonus because you saved me from those guys..."

"Try me..." Thirdy said

She just walked away and chased a cab while Thirdy was just smiling

"I just met two weird girls tonight..." He said to himself

Note: Hi! It's been a while since nagsulat ako ng story so I'm very open to any criticisms

Super daming kanta dito sa story na 'to kasi obviously, we have a band involved so sorry if you're not a fan of that but I think the songs will help me build up the storyline that I want

Enjoy! 💙
