III

(Summary of II: Ekko, a Senior, recently moved to a new school, having a normal day. He discovers that an Ex-childhood friend/crush also goes to that same school. They've been grouped together to do a robotics project with each other.)

A/N: See the end for (Any additional) notes.

Being grouped with an ex-childhood crush wasn't something I expected, not much wanted.

Sure I always made up stupid scenarios on how we'd meet up again, on how we'd apologize, and maybe (if we ever) got married.

Those doltish thoughts of my 16-year-old mind drove me to become the way I was.

Foolish.

Having deceitful faith in someone who I knew was gone, walking the path of life. Chasing them would be useless, sometimes a ship must sail, even if a passenger is missing.

Everyone grew up, everyone grew up without me.

But I'm still here, struggling to understand why time went by so fast.

Struggling to understand why she's gone.

Staying up late was an easy task, but somehow today, it was much more difficult. Because of how lost in thought I was at class today, I completely forgot about the project, meaning I didn't write any plans down. Meaning I'd have to stay up all night making at least 2.

As I was finishing my last ideas sketch, I looked both my candy theme designs, making sure they matched the description perfectly.

The first design was a pink, blue, white, and yellow panda, representing the colors of cotton candy. Cotton balls would cover most of the wires, switches, and other shit we'd be using to make the actual robotic part of the animal.

The cotton balls would represent the fur, adding a fluffy texture.

The second design was of a robotic clown that projected peppermints and other hard candies out of its hands. The colors are pink, blue, and yellow, having (Of course) clown-themed clothing.

Now looking closely at the description and the colors of the top 2, all of my ideas correlate with things that Powder would like. 1. Having her top four favorite colors. And 2. Having two of her top favorite animals/things.

It shouldn't be that big of a deal though, Powder's changed and she's known as Jinx now. Most of those things probably changed too.

I decided to not look over the rest of my ideas, I was trying too hard for someone who probably didn't care. It was 1 am, and I needed sleep, I haven't had any in a while.

Tomorrow will be great, it will go just as planned and everything will be okay! Not a single thing will go wrong.

Maybe I should change my name to Jinx also.

I'm 4 hours late for school, half of the day already done, my parents are going to kill me!
