Jay's 1st POV

"School's over!" Someone says,

"Let's go play some games!" Another says.

I get up to leave, 'It's not like I have anyone to spend time with after school.' I think, "See ya, Jay." A voice tells me, which shocked me. I slowly look at who said it, only to see Daniel waving at me. I hesitantly wave back, unsure of what to do.

"See ya tomorrow." He tells me, 'Are we friends?' I think to myself, I feel happy when I think about it. "Oh! It's mom." He says, while looking at his phone.

"Hi, mom. Yep, school just finished." He responds, "Oh? Tomorrow? Right, it's my birthday.. It slipped my mind." I overhear.

Suddenly, people start talking about him again. "Daniel really looks like royalty." Some girl says, "They say he's poor.. Think that's true?" Another asks. There are three guys who glare at him,

"Poor beggar." One says,

"His undershirt has no brand name." Another comments,

"And no watch." Some other says. "Cheap-ass fucking loser." He comments, but Daniel doesn't seem to hear them. "Mom, you don't have to come. No, really.. It's okay." He reassures, "Y/n will be with me, so it's okay~!" He chirps.

'Who's Y/n again?' I think, 'Do they go here?' I wonder. "I'll make the girls know who he really is." I hear, while I watch Daniel.

'I should leave.' I think and walk out.

————————————————————

I'm walking throughout the city, looking for something to get Daniel. 'Didn't everyone comment on how he's unfashionable?' I think, and stop at a clothes shop. I'm about to go in, but I hesitate. 'What if he thinks I'm calling him unfashionable? What if he already has the things I might give him.' I think, I curse the fact that I don't know him well enough. 'Am I a bad friend?' I sulk a bit.

I'm about to wallow in self pity, when someone bumps into me. "So sorry!" A voice apologizes.

I look at the person who bumped into me, 'I've seen her around school, but she never wears a uniform.' I think, "Oh.. I know you, from some place..." She tries to recollect, "Do you go to J High?" She asks,

I nod, "Do you go there, too?" I ask, "No, I don't go there.. My roommate goes there, though!" She admits,  His name is Daniel, he's really nice, you'd like him~!" She beams.

'My interest is beyond peaked.' I think, 'Are we thinking about the same Daniel?' I need answers. "Is his last name Park?" I ask, "Yes, Daniel Park! His class is Fashion Department 1-A!" She tells me. 'I've hit the jackpot!' I exclaim in my head.

She zones out for a bit, "Are you okay?" I ask, "Hm? His birthday is near, I'm getting him a gift~!" She chirps, 'She's also gift shopping!!' I don't think I've ever been so relieved. "I'm also trying to buy a gift for Daniel, but I have no idea what to get! Can you help me?" I ask,

"I'll help you! Is there a base for what you want to get him?" She asks, and I suddenly become embarrassed. I look at the window of the shop I was looking at, "Clothes? Don't worry, Daniel is the type who loves and uses everything he's given. He'd love clothes~!" She reassures me.

"Oh, wait. I'm Y/n, what's your name?" She asks, 'THIS IS Y/N?!' I mentally screech. I smile, "I'm Jay." I answer her, 'I don't which god sent me this miracle, but thank you.' I want to cry. "Nice to meet you, Jay! Let's exchange numbers, so I can send you birthday pictures!" She offers,
