General POV:

*TIMESKIP - A few days later*

It had been a few days since Clay and Maria had confessed to each other, although telling each other that they liked one another had got to be one of the hardest things Maria or Clay has ever done. I kid you not, Clay was shitting his pants that day. 

But anyways, life was going great for Maria and Clay, they both had what they wanted and that was each other. But, the only thing was, well one of the few things was that they weren't officially together. Despite sleeping together twice, they had only told each other that they like each other once. 

And as for Winston, he was busy trying to find his next person or should I rather say victim to hurt next. To be honest, Winston wasn't all that bad. He was just trying to figure out who was being and who and what he liked. Yet, he ended sweeping himself up into a messy ass love triangle between Clay, Maria and himself. If that doesn't spell fuck up to you, then I don't know what will. What Winston needed as of right now, was a fresh start. No amount of love or jealousy over Maria would be able to fix that. He needed to be seen as a whole new person, not the weird new kid he was 2 weeks ago. He was now Winston 2.0, whether you believe it or not.

Clay decided that today was the day he was going to ask Maria out as Valentine's day was approaching and there was the school dance named, "Love is Love" so he thought he could maybe ask her out and maybe during the dance he would ask her to be his girlfriend. Everything seemed perfect in his head but he feared how it would play out in reality. He hoped that his epic plan wouldn't flop. Hopefully.

Later during the day, Clay found that Maria was sat with Jessica at lunch, munching away at their food whilst everyone else was in the lunch queues. They were super long today because they were selling chicken burgers and chips. So poor Alex, Tyler, Charlie, Zach and Justin had to wait ages for their portions. Suddenly and out of nowhere, Justin appeared, scaring the fuck out of Clay, Jessica and Maria all at the same time.

"Jesus fucking Christ, I'm starving." Justin said, groaning in annoyance as he plonked himself down on the chair next to Clay and Jessica. He looked over at Maria to see a plateful of food and his stomach began to rumble. He involuntarily grabbed a chip from Maria's plate. "Oops."

"Dude!" Clay said outloud, looking at Justin with a brow raised before he slapped his hand. "If you want food so badly, go line up! You don't just steal it from someone else, especially not from Maria! What were you thinking?"

"Sorry, Maria." He said, scratching the back of his head, dripping in guilt.

"It's okay, it's lucky for you, I'm just like my mother and not my brother or father otherwise I wouldn't have been so caring to share." Maria giggled slightly, pushing her plate towards Justin on the table. All 3 of them watched as Justin's face lit up, seeing the plate of food lay in front of him. All Clay could really think of in his head was about how adorable Justin was and how lucky he was to have a brother like him. Maria thought that Jessica must be really lucky to have him.

Clay's smile drifted away as he diverted his eyes to his surroundings and could clearly see all the boys coming back to the table. Oh shit! He hadn't even asked her out for the dance and it would become hell for both of them if the boys came back. Justin and Jessica being there was a matter of 'who cares?' because we all know that they are Claria's biggest fans.
