Dark's POV
(Still in the Flashback)

"I need to ask you something!" Sam stands next to her.
"What is it?" She asks, looking a bit confused and rightfully so.
Sam has never talked to Winter ever except when they had a project together once. So the fact that Sam wanted to talk to her now both confused her and I.
"Can I borrow your Water Magics homework?" She asks.
Winter raises an eyebrow.
"Sure." She then turns to walk into the girls bathroom when Sam keeps the conversation going.
"I asked that Anti guy if I could borrow his and acted like a huge jerk about it." She says.
"He told me that if I didn't do the work on my own that I would be a failure in the future."
Winter frowns.
"I've always thought Anti was a nice guy." Winter says sadly in her quiet voice.
"He isn't. He also pushed me in the hallway the other day to get to his class faster. Then he called me a loser."
My eyes go wide.

She told Winter lies about you.
I could see how sad Winter looked when Sam told her these things. I really think that Winter liked you back, but Sam ruined your chance.

H-how could sh-she d-do that to me-e?

She's a cold person.
Which is funny to say because Winter specialized in ice and water magics.
Finally the end of the day came...

*RING RING RING*

So many thoughts fly through my brain. I'm not sure if I should tell Anti that Sam was bad talking him to Winter.
I feel a tap on my shoulder that causes me to jump.
"You alright Dark?" I look up to see Anti giving me a concerned look.
"Yes, I am fine." I say while standing up from the small desk.
"Then let's go!" He says, taking my hand and pulling me out the classroom.
"Wait!" He stops in the middle of the hallway.
"Yeah?" He asks.
"Maybe you should wait until tomorrow." I say.
"Why?" He looks super confused.
"Because....I'm pretty sure Winter is in book club right now!"
It's both an excuse and the truth at the same time.
"Yeah, but she'll stop at her locker before she goes there."
Anti then let's go of my hand and runs off again.
"Oh no." I whisper as I teleport into the hallway next to Winter's locker.
Anti carries a huge grin on his face as he walks up to Winter.
"H-Hey Winter." He wouldn't be Anti without his signature stutter.
"Huh? Anti?" She suddenly looks uncomfortable.

Oh no.

"Um...I have a q-question for
you-ou." He smiles.
"What is it." Winter looks everywhere but at his face.
"Um.....WinterIreallylikeyouand
wantedtoknowifyouwouldgooutwithme!" Anti speaks so fast that I almost don't understand what he's saying.
Winter's ice blue eyes double in size. She frowns.
"I-I'm sorry." She looks like she might cry.
"I can't." She says and then runs off; probably to book club.
Anti's smile immediately falls and green septic goo pours out of his septic eye like tears. His other eye waters up as he holds back the tears.
"I-" He cuts himself off.
Even frowning myself, I walk over and hug him.
"It's okay." I tell him.
"Everything is going to be okay."
That's when he breaks down.
I feel my shoulder start to get wet as his tears and septic goo fall on me.
"Let it all out." I say in a calm and relaxed tone.
He starts to sob and people around us make weird and disgusted faces.
"Are Dark and Anti gay?" Some random girl whispers.
"Maybe." Another responds.
"How aren't they?" Some other person says, but I hold all my anger deep down inside me.

Anti needs me right now.

"I never knew Dark cared about anyone."
"I wish Dark would hold me like that!"
"Is Anti crying? What a loser!"
"Dark has emotions?!"
"Anti totally wants him."
"They shou-"
Then I snap.
I let go of Anti and turn to them.
"LISTEN HERE!!"  I yell, getting everyone's attention.
"MY FRIEND JUST GOT REJECTED BY A GIRL HE REALLY LIKED AND DOESN'T NEED TO HEAR ANY OF YOUR CRAP RIGHT NOW!!!"
Looks of terror line some people's faces, others are trying to hide their fear.
"SORRY THAT I WANT TO COMFORT MY FRIEND!"
I feel my hands heat up with fire causing some people to back away.
"SO GET A LIFE AND STAY OUT OF OURS!!!!!"
With the fireballs already in my hands, I manipulate them into one large sword and cut a locker in half. A few students shreek and scream, others run away.
Crushing the flame in my palms I turn to Anti. Tears and septic goo stain his face.
I smile and hug him again.
"I promise everything is going to be fine."
I feel him smile into my shoulder.
"DARK IPLIER!" I roll my eyes and let go of my best friend.
"Yes Principal Dem?"
"Get in my office for cutting that locker in half, now!"
I turn to the half melted locker.
"You think I did that?" I ask pointing to myself in an innocent way.
"I just got here."
His eyes literally have fire flickering angrily in them.
"NOW!" He yells.
I roll my eyes and look and Anti again.
"See you tomorrow." I smirk and pull out finger guns on him.
"PUE PUE!"
He chuckles as I wave to him and enter the office.

"I remember that."
He both frowns and chuckles.
"I can't believe Sam would do that." He says in disbelief.
"That's not even the worst thing that she's done." I tell him while putting my feet casually on the coffee table.
"WHAT?!"
