The squad was having their usual lunch at school. Theodosia was lying against Philip's chest as she ate her food and he stroked her curly dark hair while talking to Georges. Frances and Mary were arguing once again and Stephan rolled his eyes before returning to his book, making Susan giggle as she drank her soda. The only one missing was Angelica, but she would always use lunch time to rehearse with her pair to the dance competition they would be participating in two weeks. The prize was $5000, but that didn't matter to Angelica, what she really wanted was the pair of invitations for the big dance event in NY where a bunch of famous dancers would attend.

Everyone was proud of her determination in becoming a professional dancer, which she was really good at. Doesn't matter the rhythm, she would slay in it and get the audience in awe. Especially Georges. It always amazed him the way she danced so naturally and flawlessly, like the choreography was the simplest thing in the world.

Angelica sat loudly at the bench with a frown and everyone in the table fell quiet. They knew that expression way too well to know that Monster Angie had been activated and none of them wanted to have the head ripped off. They exchanged glances in a quiet talk trying to find someone to talk first.

"Soo... Angie" Philip spoke, once he was her older brother it was most likely she would take it easy with him. She deadly stared at him and he gulped before asking carefully "Uhm, what happened?"

"¡AQUEL BASTARDO ME ABANDONÓ DOS SEMANAS ANTES DEL CONCURSO DE DANZA! DIJO QUE HABÍA ENCONTRADO A ALGUIEN CON MEJORES POSIBILIDADES DE GANARLO Y AHORA NO SE QUE HACER!" She burst out and the only ones who understood a bit of Spanish were Philip and Stephan and they looked at each other terrified. The others didn't understand a thing, maximum a word or two, but were all equally terrified of her intonation and wrath.

Angelica was the sweetest, kindest and purest girl they knew, she was also the most innocent person in the planet so it was extremely rare to see her angry, but when it made to happen her friends used to call it Monster Angie. She would be completely filled by wrath and start to speak in Spanish; her father native language which she begged him to teach her when was little and different of her brothers she speaks it fluently by now.

She started to squirm her fingers as if she was smashing something "¡YO QUIERO Y VOY ARRANCAR LA CABEZA DELE SI EL VER EN MI FRENTE DE NUEVO!"

"Uh... What-" Frances asked but Angelica interrupted her.

"EACKER DITCHED ME! ¡ESTO ES LO QUE PASÓ!"

"WHAT?!" Philip shouted.

"SINCE WHEN WERE YOU TWO DATING?!" Georges asked with a mix of emotions inside of him.

"AS MY DANCE PARTNER, IDIOTA!"

"WOA, chill, Ange! You don't need to be so rude to me!"

"I KNOW! SORRY!" She shouted and covered her face with her hands.

"I told you Eacker was a bad choice, Angie" Philip said in disgust by mentioning his name and Angelica slammed her hand at the table.

"REALLY, PHILIP!? You're really going to say "I told you so" RIGHT NOW?!"

"Yea, I'll just shut up" He says sheepishly.

Angelica sighed and slammed her head in the table "I don't know what to do. The dance contest is in two weeks and I don't have a partner"

"Why don't you do a solo then?" Mary asked with a raised eyebrow as if it was obvious.

"It's a duos competition, I can't do a solo" She hissed still with her head down.
