it was a saturday morning and you were currently taking your P.S.A.Ts with demetri and miguel. everything was going fine until miguel threw his pencil down in frustration. "hey, what's going on?" you asked your friend, worried. you had never seen him this stressed.

"yeah, what's going on? the test is almost over." demetri continued. miguel only looked at his friends and sighed. "it's just a practice test." the tan boy said, retrieving his pencil. "easy for you to say. you have a girlfriend." demetri told the boy.

you tilted your head to the side, "what does that have to do with like, anything?" you asked demetri. "i gotta do well on these, so i do well on the actual test, so i get into a good college, which will lead to a good internship, then a high-paying job, and then, after a couple promotions, i should have enough confidence to get a super hot girl." the pale boy finished, satisfied with his plan. you threw your head back in exhaustion, "god demetri, you stress me out." you told the boy.

the bell finally rang, signaling the test was over. you, demetri, and miguel walked out of the classroom finding sam waiting outside. they greeted each other with a kiss, which made you think of hawk and how much you miss him. "we'll meet you." demetri told miguel, giving him and sam some privacy." and with that, you and demetri walked away to go wait for miguel at the school entrance.


-------------------


you, hawk, miguel, aisha, demetri, and bert were all just hanging out at the park. miguel, demetri, and aisha all sat on the park bench, while you had your back towards them watching hawk spar with bert.

"come on, eat something. it'll make you feel better." demetri told his friend, giving him a sandwich. "i told you i'm not hungry, man." miguel told demetri. " i still think you're overreacting." demetri told miguel. "ditto!" you told the group behind you. "i'm not overreacting, dude. i know what i saw." miguel told you, frustrated.

"all right, so you saw her eating dinner with some chode." hawk engaged, then kicked bert in the face causing the boy to fall to the ground with a yelp. "be careful with him, eli." you warned your boyfriend. "i'm okay, y/n!" bert yelled before getting up, looking at you with a smile and a small blush. hawk took notice of the blush on bert's cheeks and hit him on the head, not too hard but hard enough. "no. off limits." he told the kid, making you laugh. hawk then walked up to you and pressed a kiss to your lips. you kissed back but then pulled away, looking at bert. the kid knew he didn't have a chance with you but he still couldn't help his small crush. you walked up to the boy and pressed a small chaste kiss to his cheeks before telling him, "don't worry, kid. you're still one of my favorite boys." you gave his hair a quick ruffle before walking back to hawk. "he's just a kid. you know i only have a thing for you, eli." you told him, before pulling him in for another kiss. when the kiss was over, hawk gave you a quick look up and down before turning to miguel with his arms still around your waist.

"it was probably just her brother or something." hawk continued. "no, dude. brothers don't look at their sister's like that." miguel stressed. "depends what part of the country you're in." demetri said out loud. "oh my god, ew." you told demetri before giving him a shove. "look, i just don't want what happened to sensei to happen to me." miguel told demetri. "miguel, you're not sensei. i promise if you talk to her she'll tell you what's really going on." you gave the boy a pat on the shoulder.

"or, go over there and beat his ass so he doesn't have the chance." hawk told his friend, smirking. you gave your shoulders a shrug. "yeah, that could work too." you told miguel, agreeing with hawk. "don't listen to eli. or y/n." demetri said, slouching back. "it's hawk." hawk corrected his friend. "yeah, whatever. but y/n gets to call you "eli"? demetri asked while rolling his eyes. hawk looked at you then back at demetri, "that's different. she's different." he told demetri, making you smile. "the fact is, sam's given you no reason to not trust her." the pale boy continued. "for once, i agree with demetri. you have no proof that sam is cheating on you or whatever. just relax, miguel." you tried to reason with your friend. "yeah, i guess you guys are right." miguel agreed.
