"Oh my god!" Cat screams as soon as she sees the couple walking through the school doors. "What the fuck!" Mercedes says as loudly as she can so that the entire hall hears her."How and when?! Did this happen" Cat gestures to the couple as they stop at Strea's locker, "I don't know, it just happened," Strea says looking at Jalon with a soft smile. "I gotta go, princess, I'll see you later at lunch," he says kissing her cheek before walking to his locker where his group of friends is waiting for him. "Strea, I need to know," Cat says with a serious expression, causing Strea to be intrigued, "Do you have powers?" Cat asks in a serious tone making Strea roll her eyes, opening her locker with a little laugh.
"Cat, no one can ask such an unserious question like you with a straight face," Aalina says laughing. "Okay come on, let's get to our home rooms before we end up running like we did last week," Lada says smiling at the girls. The girls separated to their home rooms saying their goodbyes and See you in a bit.
As Strea gets into her homeroom she sees Jalon waiting with his head in a notebook, she walks in smiling as she takes the seat next to him. "Hi princess," he says as he looks up from his notebook with a smile. "Hi, what are you drawing?" Strea asks shyly, "It's a surprise, no peeking," He says covering his book playfully.
The two smile at each other, not noticing that half the class is now paying attention to their interaction. "Okay, time for a head count," Mr. K says going around the class, "Okay, Astrea Fayre?" He says looking up from his roster, "Here," She says looking away from Jalon to pay attention to the homeroom teacher. "Okay, and Jalon Kobayashi?" he says looking up from his roster again, "I'm here," Jalon says looking at Strea still, with his head leaning on his hand.
"Great, okay, now we have homecoming coming up, so here are the notices of ticket purchases for people who want to invite people that don't go to the school, and for students, there is a discount fee if you bring your school ID's," Mr. K says handing out flyers with the said information on it as well as the theme, upon hearing about homecoming everyone starts to talk amongst their groups in excitement.
"Hmm, I think I know who I want to take, but I don't think she'll say yes," Jalon says in a teasing tone as he looks up from the flyer giving Strea his attention. "Hmm, I might go with this guy, but he hasn't asked me, yet," Strea says teasing him back with a smile. "Astrea Fayre, would you like to go to homecoming with me," He asks with a more sincere tone, "Yes, but you gotta do a whole, proposal thingy," She says giving him a soft smile. "I'll do whatever you want me to do princess, all I want to see is you happy," he says sweetly as he takes her hand in his giving it a light kiss.
"Okay, everyone I am feeling nice today so I'll let you guys out early, leave before I change my mind," Mr. K says making all the kids, including Strea and Jalon grab their things quickly making their way out the door. Jalon takes Strea's hand in his as he walks with her to her locker. As they reach her locker, Strea opens her locker to get out her books for the next period. "Jalon, what's this?" Mercedes says with an annoyed tone.
"This girl really doesn't know how to choose her battles, does she?" Strea says shaking her head, as she takes some books out of her locker. "What the fuck are you mumbling over there you ugly bitch" Mercedes says as she takes her eyes of Jalon, looking over at Strea as she gets closer to the two. "Oh, you didn't hear me? Sorry let me say it a lil louder, you, the bitch doesn't know how to pick your battles, did you hear that?!" Strea says also moving closer to Mercedes. "Oh, bitch!" Mercedes says as she tries to slap Strea across the face missing her completely, giving Strea time to punch her in the face, breaking Mercedes nose.
"Ah! you bitch, I'll kill you!" Mercedes says holding her now bleeding nose while Jalon holds an angry Strea back from lunging at Mercedes. "Alright break it up, you three get to the principals office now!" Mr. K says, to Mercedes, Strea, and Jalon.
