Alan held her to stop and cupped her face caressing her cheeks with his thumbs.

Being direct with everything, he knew it was difficult for Aria to go around as if they were criminals even though they were victims of some random nobody.

​​

"Let's stall about going public about our relationship. But there is no need to sneak around. We'll be together and face everything. And I'm sorry, I didn't choose this earlier."

If he knew that random nobody was a mouse to hide and it could drag so long, it wouldn't have planned this.

Aria smiled brightly "Don't feel sorry. You did for our own good thinking we will be free soon. So I never want to hear you apologize for it again and again. And I really don't care about publicizing. We are together is more than enough."

Alan pinched her cheeks, "I have a very understanding wife."

Aria giggled, pinching his nose, "And I have an extremely sweet wife slave."

Alan chuckled and turned her around, "Take me out on a date now."

Soon they left, as Isaac and Eva followed behind them.

---

Elite school

Pulling in the campus, security allowed three cars after checking who they were.

Isaac was entering the school after like a decade, whereas Aria, Alan, and Eva had visited five years back.

There were reporters, school students, and movie-related staff. All were eagerly waiting for Isaac's arrival.

When the first car McLaren P1 pulled in, all prepared to get Aria's picture from the shotgun seat but inside the car, Aria stopped Alan.

"I brought you out for a date. I'll do the honor." Aria grimly spoke.

Alan didn't turn down, "Who am I to say no to President Cooper?"

Satisfied, "Good boy." Aria alighted elegantly and went around confusing all the reporters.

They wanted to think of it as Isaac but his car pulled right next to hers and alighted while Aria opened the door for Alan.

Isaac was amused, "You two are back on track. Making everyone envious."

Eva who alighted next to Isaac's car rolled her eyes, "Oh my dear, dog food is free. And Wifey, if you don't open the door for me next time, I'll break your legs."

Aria chuckled as four ignored grasping crowds and the media.

Four walked together grabbing away everyone's attention. Alan was in a business suit and the rest were in semi-formal wear looking stylish.

Two rumors started that day.

Are Aria Cooper and Alan Morgan back together?

Does Isaac Ross and Eva Miller have a secret relationship?

The female lead felt nobody with the crew due to Aria and Eva's presence but she was smart enough to bury her irritation down.

Aria and Alan were weirdly content standing together in an open after such a long time.

After the opening ceremony, Isaac didn't have any scenes on that day. The female lead had quite a few scenes which were open for the media to serve as publicity but the reporters went behind the four but were stopped by guards letting four enter the school.

As soon as they entered inside, Eva and Aria were back to teens and ran away to their classroom.

Isaac nudged Alan, "Are we on a double date? Or are those two here on a date? They abandoned us just like that."

While girls took stairs, men took the elevator and reached at the same time.

Aria and Eva sat at their place. Rian's place was also Alan's place right behind Aria's seat. Isaac was next to Alan, behind Eva.

Four sat and reminisced about their past feeling time really flies off...

Eva pulled out a small notebook and tore a paper before writing on it.

'Let's break a rule.'

Eva passed to Aria. The latter smiled and thought which rule they didn't break in the past.

A light bulb clicked in her head in no seconds, 'Announcement room.'

She passed back to Eva who smiled and wrote, 'Are you guys in?'

She passed back to Isaac, Isaac chuckled before responding to it by writing, 'I'm in.'

He passed it to Alan who said, "Childish"

The trio said in unison, "Boring."

Alan was always uninterested in rules, whether following it or unfollowing it.

"I'm in" Alan gave in and the trio reached the announcement room.

Aria and Eva informed Alan and Isaac what to do before knocking on the door fiercely to show urgency.

As soon as the door opened, Eva started her act, "Sir, somebody is groaning in pain inside the boys' washroom calling for help. Can you help them? We can't go in."

Right after her panicked voice, Aria continued, "They seemed to be in too much pain. Sir, please check on them soon."

"What if something happened inside?"

"Sir, can you make it faster?'

"Yeah, what if it's life-threatening?"

The duo kept on blabbering, panicking the mid-thirties man without letting him think straight.

At last, both girls wailed hence, "You girls don't cry, I'll see it." That man ran towards the boys' washroom after saying.

Aria counted till ten before knocking the door fiercely to call out another admin sitting inside.

Alan was really feeling too childish. Isaac didn't care and shut the door of the washroom when the first admin entered it.

They went towards the announcement room quickly.

As soon as the announcement door opened, Aria stretched her leg to stop the auto-locking door to close and both girls cried, "Somebody locked admin Kion in the bathroom and he is screaming."

Isaac reached with Alan and the second admin quickly identified him. "Something happening there, you should check soon."

The second admin believed it and quickly ran away thinking the door was locked but it wasn't.

Four quickly entered and locked the door from inside before high fiving and laughing their heart out.

"It feels so good." 'to be like a teenager.'

Eva agreed and Isaac enviously asked, "Were you guys enjoying like this while studying?"

Eva responded excitedly, "We have broken almost all of the rules. We even drank beer in our class leaving bottles in the other class."

Aria chuckled, "Guys, any idea?"

Alan was happy seeing her and suggested, "Sing."

Aria pecked on his cheek and nodded. Eva told Isaac, "You too join us."

Isaac readily agreed.

Alan only sang for Aria and he never liked to sing for others so Aria just raised her brows and Alan shook his head caressing her hair.

Soon they heard a knock on the door which they ignored and turned on the microphone.

Aria spoke first, "Hello everyone! We, Alumni of this school are dedicating a song to all the students of Elite and the rest who were once upon a student. And A very special dedication to Beauty and Sweetie."

Aria nodded at Eva and Isaac and they started a song titled 'Memories' with small changes.

"Here's to the ones that we got

Cheers to the wish you were here, but you're not

'Cause the school brings back all the memories

Of everything we've been through

Toast to the ones here today

Toast to the ones that we lost on the way

'Cause the school brings back all the memories

And the memories bring back, memories bring back you

There's a time that I remember when I did not know, no pain

When I believed in forever and everything would stay the same

Now my heart feels like December when somebody say your name

'Cause I can't reach out to call you, but I know I will one day, yeah

.
