Wednesday, February 1st

His navy backpack bobbled with every step he took. His jet-black hair did not flow in the wind at all because it was packed and slicked down with oozy, juicy hair gel. His name is Henderson Webbson-Lion and he is a sophomore at Bork International. He was definitely the studious type and not one to be partying with the other kids. He was different. But the girls just didn't understand that and went to the sporty guys who vaped in the bathroom. Henderson is an outcast, but nonetheless, he stayed hard at work.

Henderson pondered his Personal Project ideas while he weaved between couples making out in the hallway.

Why do all of these kids have to be makin out in the hallway... God, I kinda wish I was them though...

His face lit up when he found his friend, Jayden, at the end of the hallway by the printer. Before he could let himself get too excited, he gulped deeply in trepidation.

Gah! She's pretty hot, I can't let her realize that she makes me so nervous!

"Hi, Jaydennn, what are you doing over here?" Henderson posited.

"Oh, hey Henny! I'm just picking up some copies for Warsinski," she replied. Henderson's heart jumped at the nickname and the tips of his ears went red. Before he could reply, however, Mrs. Warsinski appeared beside the students quickly as though she had been summoned.

"What are you two lovebirds doing over here?? You're gonna be late for your next class!" Warsinski lectured them. She always cared about her students and wanted them to succeed. However, that made her appear strict and intimidating to the kids. This effect was clear in this moment to Henderson, the less familiar sophomore who never had her class.

At the mention of "lovebirds", Henderson and Jayden whipped their heads towards each other in shock. Henderson began flailing his arms in defiance at the idea. Of course, he felt like he could never be compared to Jayden, especially in a romantic sense!

Jayden, on the other hand, stayed cool as a cucumber and lightly laughed at what her teacher said.

"C'mon, Marie! You know I'm already dating Onion," Jayden retorted and grinned her bright smile. She's close to the teachers because she's a good student (and a huge suck-up), so she always hangs out with people like Marie Warsinski during lunch and occasionally after school.

When Henderson heard yet again of Jayden's current boyfriend, the pit in his stomach sank once more. He never felt like he could compare to that skater-gamer guy; so sporty and cool, next to nerdy and studious. Being reminded of these faults brought Henderson to his limit and he stormed off away from the conversation and to the library.

At this behavior, Jayden quirked an eyebrow and frowned.

Is he okay? I hope he's doing well...

When she thought of him, she started recognizing an attractive softness to him she had never seen before. Because Warsinski had brought up the idea of them as a couple, the concept stayed in her mind and, thus, a seed of love was planted in her brain.

Embarrassed, she handed off the copied paper and finished her conversation with her teacher before heading away to her coding class with Mr. Bochrane, a tall, lanky white man who looked way too much like Jeff Bezos to be a "stick it to the man" type of person. Mr. Bochrane and Jayden are best friends and playfully hate each other, but Jason Bochrane would never admit that Jayden was his favorite student.

Jayden's brother, P.P., met her at their table that they shared in Mr. Bochrane's classroom. When Jayden sat down, P.P. got a sly look on his face and smirked.

"So, what's this with you and Henderson, Jay??" he smiled and raised his eyebrows repeatedly. Jayden's eyes blew wide open at this and shoved P.P. in his seat.

"What the heck, P.P.!! You know I'm with Onion!" she shot back, flustered and betrayed at the idea of herself being paired off with someone while she had a boyfriend. At her reaction, P.P. furrowed his eyebrows in concern and confusion.

"Jeez, Jay, I wasn't serious!" he stated, "..why did that make you so.. awkward?"

Jayden was trapped by P.P.'s question and tried to come up with an answer, mouth trying to form words but coming up fruitless. Before she could say anything, though, Mr. Bochra-

"DO THE WARM-UP ON CAANVAAASSSS!!"

Jason Bochrane's voice, heavy with voice cracks and goofy tone, rang out inside of the coding classroom. Thus, the siblings had to begin working on their coding problem sets.

I'd rather be answering that question now...!, Jayden thought, defeated.
