It was a peaceful day in Ostania but not so for the boys of the Prestigious Eden Academy. As Master Henderson walked past all of the chaos in the halls, he would hear the occasional "Heads up!" as pink ribbon would be launched across to the otherside. It was an utter chaos of pink and red. He could see those who didn't have any hope or friends in a corner and the Jocks throwing about a pink football, the nerds on the otherside sighing in annoyance whilst calculating the probability of their crush saying yes or rejecting them. The hoods would stand in the middle of the hall, looking disgusted at that "totally-not-gay" couple who would always take their flirting to the next level. There were those class clowns who would educate those stiff, "Straight A" students on how to let loose, and even throw in a few pick up lines. The silent backseats were finally making some noise.

In the midst of it all stood none other than, Damian Desmond. Sweat was dripping of his forehead as boys would line to ask him how they too, could be like him. Damian was a one of a kind. He could walk up to the nerds and understand everything they were saying, and then go to the Jocks and fit in perfectly. All the boys in their year would look up to him or envy him. The crowds of boys just kept getting bigger and bigger. Soon Ewen and Emile couldn't keep the crowds away and soon they had to call Bazooka Bill.

Meanwhile, Damian was deep in thought, unaware of the crowds surrounding him. How did I end up here in the first place?,he thought as he started noting things down on his notepad.

How did this happen, I hear you ask? Let's go back about two days.

____________________________________________________

Master Henderson is busy teaching them Pythagoras Theorem, whilst all the boys in class gave each other looks. The girls were looking around, confused, and Becky knew that they were up to something. Anya, on the other hand, was 'sleeping' in class.Should we start yet? A hood was thinking of giving a look to the desk next to him.No, you idiot! We have to say it at PRECISELY 9.35 am! a nerd would think, giving him a disgusted look.

On the otherside of a classroom was another whirlwind of thoughts.Hey Caleb, do you think I should give her a box of chocolates or her favourite flowers?,a Jock would think turning over to the "Straight As one B" student who gave him a side eye,Probably her favourite flowers, but does ANYONE know when Desmond plans to start his 'Amazing' idea?!,he thought , getting nods of approval from his peers. They all looked at the main man himself, Damian.

Hey Bossman! Y'know they're all looking at you, right?, Emile gestured to Damian. A smug grin crept up Anya's face.I'm so good this! I'm gonna be a spy just like Papa in no time! she thought as she looked up to Master Henderson looking down on her.Not again she thought as she mentally rolled her eyes.

Here we go again Becky thought as she looked at the scene that had unfolded beside her.

Anya was now being scolded by Mister Elegance ✨️ while the rest of the class were snickering in the back. They were about to leave class when Damian raised his hand.

"May I suggest an idea, sir?" He asked, looking around to see if the rest of them knew.

"What is it Desmond?" Henderson replied, curious.

"Me, and the rest of the young gentlemen have decided that this year, WE plan the Valentines day events, as we see it only fair." He responded, nonchalantly.

"Why, what an ELEGANT ✨️ idea! Yes you may." Henderson replied, both surprised and in awe.

The boys in class were truly stunned at how quickly their tutor had agreed. Faces brightened up as they looked about, thrilled.

"Class dismissed! Have an elegant evening ." Henderson said, dismissing the class whilst still in utter shock.

The truth was Damian had decided that he was finally ready to ask Anya out. The only problem was, if he asked her on any other day it would be all over the school in seconds. So he decided to help the rest of the boys ask their crush out too, so that it wouldn't be a big deal and they could keep it a secret. So Valentine's Day was a sort of distraction for the school. 

It always confused him though. He was the king of Cecile Hall, their whole year in fact, he was the topper in their class, he was the best player on the team, and yet he couldn't ask ONE girl out. It wasn't even like she was rich or famous in any way. She would see past his perfect facade and see the struggles of his life, and when he fell, she would help him back up. She didn't want to be friends with him for the money, fame, popularity. She was just a kind, young soul, naive to the treacherous and greedy world around her. But this time, he would do it. He was going to ask Anya Forger out.

It's now or never.
