The girl in the corner...

Not again...

This was another day for her to stay with couples and do nothing but join them.

What a pain....

Yassie wasn't jealous, she was just annoyed

Before the date....

"Yassie!!!!" Eliza calls her from the bathroom.

"What?"

"Which is better, seafoam green or turquoise?"

"Uhhh...."

"Yassie I need you here right now!" Shiloah drags her somewhere else.

"What is it?"

"Does this dress make me look fat?"

"I think it looks fi---!"

Aiko pulls her into her room.

"Yassie we've been preparing for three hours now, how come you're not dressed up yet?"

"I am dressed casually, if its supposed to be formal, I'm staying outside the restaurant."

"Nah, its not formal, its just, you look like a boy."

"Am I supposed to look like a girl?"

"Um, it depends if you want to."

"Well, I ain't changing clothes."

Aiko just giggles, Yassie sat on the couch and opened a bag of chips.

"Hey, wouldn't chips ruin your diet and give you calories, then you get fat." Shiloah says, looking at Yassie.

"Does this look fat to you?" Yassie takes of her oversized black hoodie to reveal her purple tee,
She was skinny as heck.

"Bruh, how the hell do you stay so skinny?"
Eliza says, her mouth wide open.

"I starve myself to death......."

"Oh." The other three girls said in unison.

Later on. Aiko's brother, Hotarou, drove them to the mall where all of them were supposed to meet.

Eliza hugged her boyfriend, Lukas, a Russian model.

Shiloah went with Seth, the heir to the best brand of candy and sweets.

Aiko went with......him.

Yassie pretended not to see him. She was suddenly greeted by a hug and a familiar voice.

"Yassie-senpai!"

She was surprised to see Zach hugging her by the waist, his face in her chest.

"Get off her, you pervert." Ashton yanked him off by the hood of his jacket. Shooting him a sharp glare.

Ashton looked different without his glasses, and his hair stylishly slicked back. With his usual polo shirt, slacks and rubber shoes.

Unlike Zach, who was wearing a gray tank top under his purple Ichimatsu hoodie, and skinny jeans, along with his purple Jordan shoes.

"I didn't exactly recognize you with your boyish clothes, until I saw your hair, which was shorter as I noticed, you look like my OC, Himako.

Still an Otaku....

Yassie just nods in response.

They all decided to go to the arcade.

Lukas and Seth were playing Tekken, Ashton was with Aiko and Shiloah, playing air hockey, which Aiko and Shiloah sucked at so badly.

Zach tried to play a race car game.

While Yassie sat on a chair alone.

"Yassie-chan! I can't play this game anymore, wanna give it a try?" Aiko says, panting heavily.

Yassie stepped up and took the handle, clutching it tightly.

"That's right Yassie-chan! Avenge us!" Shiloah and Aiko cheered.

Yassie played with focus, Ashton started to sweat, and ended up losing.

"Wow! I didn't know you were good at that kinda thing!" Shiloah giggled, patting her on the back.

"You didn't even break a sweat." Aiko says, surprised.

"Hey anyone wanna challenge me to this Dance game?" Zach asks them.

They all tried one by one, until Yassie was left behind.

"No.....one....can.....beat....him...." Eliza said between pants.

"Let Yassie do it!" Shiloah giggles again
"N-no! Shiloah, I-I can't dance!"
"Sure you can!"
"But!-"

She was pushed onto the platform.

The music started to play, Yassie felt uncomfortable and ended up running away.

"And look what you did....." Eliza glared at her sister.

Meanwhile.

Yassie ran off to the bookstore, hid between the shelves and takes out her inhaler, she was hyperventilating.

After using it, she decided to go home.

When she arrived, she got a message from Shiloah.

Shiloah: I'm so sorry, we've been looking for you.
Yassie: Nah, its fine, I'm at home.
Shiloah: Rly? Cuz Zach said he's gonna go there to see if you're safe.
Yassie: its coincidental.

She blushed at the thought of some boy who actually cares if she was alive or not.

(Flashback with the others)

"And look what you did....." Eliza glared at her sister.

"Is she gonna be alright?" Aiko said in a concerned voice.

"No she's not!" Zach stated.

"Dude, chill..." Lukas patted him on the back and ruffled his hair.

"I can't! What if something bad happens to her?
It's not like you care! You don't even know what she's been through, nor do you even know her name?"

"Just saying, Bruh." He smirked.

"Wait, Zach. Do you like her?" Aiko raised an eyebrow.

"That's none of your business. Plus, I'm gonna go find her, and if I can't, I'll go to her house to see if she's there."

(Back at Yassie)

She hears a knock on her bedroom door to see Gracie.

"There's someone on the door, its that boy we saw, Zach, he wants to see you." She said, carrying her headless doll.

"Fine, I'll be there in a bit."

Yassie went down the stairs to the living room to see Zach there there.

"Oh, you're here, I thought you were still at the mall but I was worried sick." He gave her a hug.

"Its fine, don't worry about me,"

"Okay then. Well Aiko told me to give you these,"
He gives a small parcel in a purple box with a black ribbon.

"What is it?" She asks.

"Let's find out."

The open the box together, and see a cute bat shaped backpack.

"Is this supposed to be a trap?"
