Today is Friday, the big day. Jonathan had only woke up a half hour ago and he was already filled to the brim with anxiety. Not only was his date tonight, but he had a test in English today. He's usually a good student and not concerned about tests, but recently he's been paying more attention to Minx than the actual content.

Although he was already dressed for school, Schlatt wondered what he's wear for tonight. He usually wore joggers, his worn-out steel toe Timberlands, and a long sleeve shirt, but he wanted to dress up a little. Maybe he'd ask Minx what she would be wearing in hopes to get advice.

Pulling out his phone, Schlatt texted Minx.

alright dont judge me but what are you wearing tonight?

Schlatt hid has face as he received a notification from Minx. He was absolutely embarrassed and wished that he hadn't texted her. Peeking between his fingers, his mouth went slack as he realized: Minx responded with a picture.

It felt like his heart was beating out of his chest. Jonathan had no idea how to describe the layers of perfection, but he knew she looked beautiful.

are you real?

Schlatt had never been so excited to be in English class. He wanted to see Minx more than ever. He must have been walking faster than normal, because Minx hadn't sat down yet. Usually Jonathan was late, but today he was early.

"Wow, you're early." Casey quipped, smiling up at Jonathan. He rolled his eyes playfully, waving her off.

"You know me. Always early and stuff." Schlatt said, eyes watching the door.

A big grin replaced the small smirk on his lips as Minx walked in. She was wearing her normal school attire, but Schlatt still found her just as breathtaking.

"Well, look who's early today!" Minx said with a small smile. Her cheeks went pink as Jonathan continued to stare at her. He looked at her like she was the only person in the room.

"You didn't answer my text." Schlatt replied with a smirk. Minx swatted his arm, feeling her cheeks heat up even more. She sat down, and began studying for today's test.

After fifteen minutes of study time, the teacher decided to allow students to have partners, considering how big the test is. One by one he called out names, and everyone gathered together.

"Well, looks like there's only three of you left. Minx, Casey, Jonathan, would you mind being in a group of three?" The teacher asks with a smile. All three nod, and Schlatt can barely contain his excitement.

The test took an hour, even with all three of them working together. Every now and then Casey and Minx bickered over an answer, but other than that, everything went smoothly. When all tests had been turned in, the teacher allowed for free time to talk and relax.

The trio sat around with each other, playing on their phones and chatting. Jonathan couldn't help himself but to text Minx.

did you know that you're cute??

Minx blushed, shutting her phone and pretending she didn't see the notification. Stifling a laugh, Schlatt texted her again.

i know you saw that ;)

Minx smacked his arm. "You're teasing me, but you don't have the guts to say it out loud."

It was Jonathan's turn to blush. Casey turned her head in confusion, much to Jonathan's dismay. He was kind of avoiding her at the moment, especially since he became friends with Minx.
