"Now! Onward!" Roman said, going in the wrong direction. Logan grabbed his wrist.

"This way, genius," he sarcastically responded. Roman nodded his head, embarrassed, and just followed Logan the rest of the way. They walked into a cafe, the door made a little chime as they walked in.

"Welcome to Starbucks" a worker cheerfully said. "Would you like to have one of our seasonal drinks? Mocha Cookie Crumble Frappuccino, or Mango Dragonfruit Refreshers?"

"Oh, no thank you," Roman said, as he started to take his order. "I'll get a Cinnamon Dolce Latte, Nitro Cold Brew with Sweet Cream, Crispy Grilled Cheese Sandwich, and Mango & Coconut Yogurt Bowl," Roman said, as he looked at the register.

"That will be $16.20, sir," the worker said. Roman gave the worker 20 bucks and took the change. Logan sat at a table near Virgil, and Patton. Roman waited for their order to come out, and to sit with Logan. When his order came, he grabbed it and sat down with Logan as he looked at the table beside them. Roman shook Logan's shoulders as he drank his cold brew.

"Logan, that's him," Roman started, as he pointed to a blond boy with a emo, "That's the boy I bumped into today!" Roman said, lowering his voice. Logan looked at the boy that Roman pointed at. "He's so cute! Am I right? Or am I right?" Roman said, with joy in his voice. Logan sarcastically nodded his head in agreement. "I wanna talk to him," Roman said, sending off big gay energy. Logan sighed and stood up walking to the table near them. "Logan?" Roman whispered, "Logan? What the hell are you doing?" Roman asked, with panic in his voice.

Logan tapped the blond boy, the boy turned and looked at him with a confused look. "Uh, may we help you?" the emo boy harshly asked.

"Well, yes. It seems as though my friend wants to sit with you guys, and would like to be more acquainted with you," he said, as he looked at Roman. The other two's glance at who he was looking at as well. "To simply put it, we would like to sit with you guys," Logan said.

"Oh, of course, kiddo! You and your friend can sit with us."

"Are you sure about this?"

"Yeah! I'm sure!" the boy smiled, at both his friend and Logan. The boy smiled back at his friend, while Logan remained emotionless. Logan gestured Roman to get his ass over to him. Roman sighed in defeat and stood up as he grabbed what he order and walked over to Logan.

"I'm so sorry if Specs over here offended you or-"

"They're letting us sit with them," Logan said, cutting off Roman. Logan sat by the emo, while Roman sat next to the cute boy. "Oh, my apologies. I never introduced myself. I'm Logan, and that 'prince' over there is Roman. It's very nice meeting you" Logan said, to the others at the table.

"Well, nice to meet you, Logan! I'm Patton, and that over there is Virgil. He may seem rude now, but deep down he's an absolute sweetheart" Patton whispered to the other, as though he didn't want Virgil to hear. Virgil heard what he said anyway.

"Patton!" Virgil said, in an embarrassed voice and his face turned red in embarrassment. You may not be able to see the redness, but you could tell it was red under all his white foundation. After a while of introduction, they start having random conversations on stuff they like. Till Roman brings up the flyer.

"I and Logan found a flyer today. It was about playing childhood games for 100,000 dollars. Did you know about it?" Roman asked Patton. Logan didn't try correcting Roman on his grammar as it would only start another argument.
