Jared was currently in practice, a wide grin spread across his face. "You look like a dog. You're creepy, stop that," Zedrick suddenly spoke. "What's up with that smile, dude?" Lucky asked, but Red was still lost in his thoughts.

"JARED!!!" Zed yelled at Red's ear, causing him to smack Zed's head. "Ow! You're really mean," Zed scooted away from him and hid behind River. "You're seriously creepy, man," River told him. "Something great happened," Red said. "And what is that?" Zed asked. "I'm not gonna tell ya." Then he stuck his tongue out. "This boy. Really annoying," River said. "Oh boy, he's in his zone again," Lucky said, observing the smiling Red.

After the concert, Paranoia went to their dorm. Red was still out of it, smiling to himself. "Seriously, you're creepy," Lucky told Red. "Maybe he and Mina are friends again," Zed butted in. The moment Zed mentioned Mina's name, he suddenly turned red as a tomato. "Hey, look at him. He's as red as his name is. Wahahaha!" Zed laughed at the flustered boy.

River walked near him and put his arm on Red's shoulder. "I know you're hiding something from us," River said. He pulled Red to the sofa, and they surrounded Red. They looked like investigators interrogating a suspect. "Now tell us. What happened between you and Mina?" Lucky asked.

Red, with no chance of escape, told everything to his friends. "Ooohhh~ So you and Mina are together now, huh?" Lucky happily said. "Yeah..." Red said and looked down because of embarrassment. River smirked at him. "So have you..." his smirk grew wider. "NO! What are you talking about? You pervert!" Red yelled at the older. "Hahaha! I'm just teasing you. But oh well. At least you won her heart." River said. "Yeah... I hope everything will go well," Lucky said. "What would go wrong?" Zed told the others. "I don't know... What if... Ah, never mind." Lucky said.

It's Monday. Mina and Red went to school holding each other's hands. "Babe, are you ready?" Red asked. "Ye-yes," Mina answered with a blush on her cheeks. "Aww... You're so adorable." He pinched her cheeks. "Ow!" she slapped his hands away. "Hahahah! I'm sorry. It's just that you're so cute, babe. I can't help it," Red said, making Mina blush. "Could you stop with that 'babe' thingy?" Mina suddenly said. "Why? Don't you like it?" He frowned. "I do like it... But, it's just that I'm shy," Mina told him. "You don't want me to call you my babe?" he was a little confused. "I'm not used to those things."

Meanwhile, the Amigas were watching the whole lovey-dovey scene. "He even calls her 'Babe.' Disgusting," Lina said. "She doesn't deserve Jared. I should be in her place," Jane told her minions. "I know, right? I don't even know what he saw in her. She's a nerd, my god," Krista said. "We should do something about that nerd," Jane said. "What should we do?" Lina asked. "Here's my plan..." Jane smirked.

Mina and Red are currently in the cafeteria. It's lunchtime, and all of the students' eyes are on them. "Is he really dating her?" a girl said. "Isn't he Jared of Paranoia? Why is he dating that nerdy girl?" another girl said.

Red couldn't take it anymore. The harsh words they threw at his girl boiled his blood. "If you all don't have anything good to say, don't talk. You all don't know anything. I don't care what all of you are thinking of. So shut all your mouths!" Then Jared dragged Mina out of the cafeteria.

"Red, Red, hey, stop walking. You're holding me too tight," Mina said while struggling to keep up with him. Immediately, he stopped and let go of her wrist. "I'm so sorry, babe. I just can't stand them. They know nothing, but they judge you. You're beautiful, smart, and to me? You are perfect." He looked straight into her eyes. Mina was in tears. She didn't expect what came out of Red's mouth. He wiped her tears with his thumb. "No matter what happens, I'll protect you, babe."

Then Red leaned in. Their faces were inches apart. Their lips were centimeters away from each other. But before it touched, "Ehem..." A teacher interrupted them. "Mr. Tuazon and Ms. Lim, this is a school. No public display of affection inside the school premises. Do that outside the campus." Then she left. The two of them looked away from each other. "I- uhmm... Well, that was awkward," Red said. "Ye-yeah..." Mina said stuttering. "We better get to class now." Red dragged Mina to their next class.
