"Hey, guys, did you know Valentine was coming to town for a concert?" Kana announced the next day, glancing up from her phone as she and the small group of friends walked to school.

"Who?" Amar raised a brow.

Kana merely rolled her eyes.

"You don't know Valentine, Amar?" (Y/N) chuckled with a tilt of her head, both she and Jess giving him confused glances. "Kana talks about him like... all the time."

"Really? I usually try to block her voice out, so maybe that's why," he shrugged, Kana then socking him in the arm and making him cry out. "Fuck! Why are you so brutal, woman!?"

"Maybe because you're an ass!"

"Okay, stop flirting, you two," Jess tried to alleviate the strain between them, the two always having fought—even back when they were kids—and she always having to break them up.

"We're not flirting!"

"What the hell, Jess!?"

Jess laughed at their reactions, both having turned with equally disgusted expressions painting their features. After such a phrase, they merely grumbled and folded their arms over their chests, turning their heads away so as they didn't have to look at the other. (Y/N) chuckled at their interaction, missing the brief glance Amar sent her way.

"Anyway..." Jess elongated the word, drawing all three of theirs attention. "What about Valentine, Kana?"

"Oh, yeah!" Kana perked up at the name.

Taking her phone out again, tapping along the screen for a few moments, she then showed them a picture of said man with all the concert times. Squinting her eyes, (Y/N) was surprised when seeing that this Valentine person hid his features with a mask—one that covered the top half of his face leaving his forehead and mouth exposed, looking sort of like something one would see at a masquerade. However, one could clearly see that he was extremely handsome.

"I wanted to see if you guys wanted to go to the one showing on Saturday?" Kana suggested.

"Sounds like fun," (Y/N) nodded, adjusting the straps of her backpack. "What time though? Me and Amar's curfew on weekends is usually midnight... though we never stay out that long, or at all."

"I'm a homebody..." Amar grumbled, Jess playfully ruffling his hair, having to stand on tiptoes to do so.

"Hm..." Kana hummed, flicking her eyes around the screen before they lit up. "How about the seven p.m. one? It should end around ten-thirty and we could be back by eleven—well before your guys' curfew." Intertwining her fingers together, Kana then looked at them with widened eyes that anyone would classify as 'puppy eyes,' saying, "Please...?"

(Y/n) grimaced, weak to such a look, and conceded quite easily—Jess as well—Amar though being a bit trickier.

"Why do I have to see some boy band perform?" He groaned, Kana once again smacking him in the arm, losing that innocent look that she had adapted so well.

"It's not a boy band! It's just Valentine!"

"Even his name is corny!"

"Why you..." she growled, tackling him to the ground. "Just say you'll go!"

Amar had landed with a grunt on his stomach, Kana having fallen onto his legs to avoid his backpack that was protruding from his back, and promptly pulled on the straps, involuntarily giving him a free yoga lesson.

"H-Hey!" He yelled, struggling to be released from her harsh grip. "Let go! You're crushing me!"

"How dare you!"

Shaking her head, letting her pointer finger and thumb pinch her nose, Jess mumbled under her breath, something (Y/N) couldn't catch since it was in Spanish and so fast spoken.

"Okay... then... bye, guys!" (Y/N) called, pushing the Jess forward who was still grumbling to herself.

"W-Wait!" Amar yelled after them, snapping his head up with desperation clearly written within his brown eyes. "Don't leave me with this psycho! Save me, guys!"

"You're all on your own!" She called back, leaving him shocked.

"(Y/N)! You traitors!"

As (Y/N) chuckled to herself, Jess calming down since she was away from them, the two then chatted softly to each other as they continued their walk to school, not even thirty seconds after the ordeal did another person walk up behind them and pass them. As he did, he glared at them, as if they were dirt underneath his shoes.

"Can we help you?" Jess blinked up at him, noting how handsome he was, however undeterred from this fact.

"Are those yours?" He questioned, gesturing with his head back at the still bickering Kana and Amar who had not shifted from the positions they left them in—on the ground.

"And if they were?" (Y/N) spoke.

"Can you not do something so unsightly with the Florens uniform on?" He sighed, running his hand through his dark hair, his equally dark eyes brimming with an unusual amount of disbelief. "It's ridiculous, not to mention how it damages the school's reputation." Clicking his tongue to the roof of his mouth, he then started to walk away, but stopped short, turning to add, "How the four of you even managed to make it into this school surprises me."

Watching him leave, both girls could feel their eyebrow twitching.

"Asshole!" (Y/N) called after him, flipping him off when he turned, the only response he gave being a scoff.

"What was that all about?" Jess mumbled. "Do you know him?"

"No," she shook her head. "That's the first I've seen him—talked to him—and yet he still insulted us!"

"Let's just go get the others," Jess mumbled, running a hand through her brown hair as she turned and walked back to Kana and Amar, no audio audible to (Y/N) since she didn't move, it only becoming clearer when they walked closer.

"Seriously!?" Kana grunted, rolling up her sleeves as if she were ready to go and fight the boy that offended them. "He said what!?"

"Maybe... don't tackle your friends to the ground?" Jess suggested with a tilt of her head, closing her eyes and laughing sheepishly, her tan skin slightly flushed from embarrassment. "True, he was an asshole, but he's kind of a right asshole."

"Tch," Kana looked away, her blonde hair even more ruffled from her tackle.

"Come on, Kana," Amar groaned, rubbing his head. "I don't know if I can take any more of your hits."

"Whatever," she rolled her eyes, stalking away. "I don't care what that dick said. And I don't need my friends thinking I need to change either."

(Y/N) sighed.

Well...

This certainly wasn't how I saw my morning going...
