"Ready..."

"Set..."

"Go!" The two said in unison, yelling out the scores they got on their major quiz in math class, keeping them a secret until lunch.

"96!"
"98!"

"Aw, dang it," Estella sighed, snapping her fingers while Enrique laughed maniacally at her in triumph, opening his hand with a smug look on his face. "Alright, hand over the phone. I've been searching for the funniest ringtone to put since last night in preparation for my inevitable victory."

Rolling her eyes, the girl gives her phone to him, saying, "Yeah right, you're just lucky I missed class the other day."

"Hey, a win is a win," Enrique shrugged, cackling as he starts changing her phone's ringtone.

Ting!

Noticing a text notification pop up, Enrique managed to get a vague glimpse of who messaged his best friend's phone.

"Mirabel texted you," He said, looking at her and handing her the phone before he read anything else. It was her privacy after all.

: Hey 'Stel, do you mind if you drop off the fabrics I asked for later at my place? I got detention after class.. I'm so sorry 😭

: I'll send you my address in a bit, thanks!!

It's alright, I'll come by! Have fun at detention 😭:

"So, how's it like hanging out with a member from one of the most successful families in the neighborhood?" Enrique asked, leaning back on his chair, trying to get something out from between his teeth.

"Whatever, you're just jealous cuz I befriended her first," She told him, sticking her tongue out, causing him to scoff.

Ever since they saw themselves in the background of an episode that was aired on television for the Familia Madrigal as an interview, they've been their fans ever since. They watched episode after episode, interview after interview.

But don't worry, they've been this weird since childhood. It's one of the reasons they've been the best of friends since they she was six and he was eight.

They live just a block away from each other, go to the same school, have a lot of things in common, and they rarely ever even fight – though if they do get into fights they mostly get over it and makeup in an instant. Also, If they don't get assumed to be dating, they're either assumed to be siblings.

They prefer the latter half of the time, but deceive other people into thinking they really are a thing just for fun, the other half of the time.

"Do you think I'll need to wear something nice when I go there?" She asked ever so randomly, the two of them standing up from their lunch table.

"Sure, why not? Wear your prettiest outfit and then ride on your seven-year-old pink bicycle," He said teasingly, smirking. "Wow. Okay, first of all, Esmeralda is red. Her colors are just starting to fade now that she's gotten older, that's all. Gees, you could've just said "no", you big bully," Estella replied, huffing, making him laugh at her as he ruffled her hair.

"Just wear what you're going to wear before we head over to watch the movie," He suggested, making her remember their plans for today. "Right, the movie!" She said excitedly, pointing at him as she recalls their monthly dates.
