It was quite loud in the cafeteria. Werewolves playing with their food. Meif'wa arguing with the werewolves for their childish behavior. Humans being on their phone.

Meanwhile, there's one particular human, eating all alone peacefully and watching her laughing and chatting with her friends.

As he was about to put a grape in his mouth, a familiar face came over to him, slamming his tray on the table, startling the other boy.

"Aaron! Great news and bad news!" The white haired boy exclaimed.

"What is it?" He looked up. Aaron watched as Travis sat down on the side of the table. "Why are you here? Aren't you going to sit with your little friends?" He pointed, with a fork, at a table on the left.

Travis ignored him. "I need your help," he looked a bit scared. Aaron raised a brow at him. "So I heard that Jeffory and Katelyn broke up two weeks ago-"

"And you need my help to get her to like you?" Aaron asked as he pointed the fork at Travis.

He started blushing. "Yeah... but..."

"But?"

"She still seems a bit heartbroken. Aphmau told me that she's still hasn't gotten over the breakup." He lowered his head and a frown appeared on his face.

Aaron felt a bit bad for him. He cleared his throat before saying, "I'll help you." He gave the boy a small grin.

Travis looked up at him, surprised. "Really?"

Aaron nodded. "You helped me a lot, so it's fair to return the favor."

Travis sat on Aaron's bed as Aaron sat on his chair at his desk. "What would you do if you were in this situation?" Travis started the conversation.

Aaron tapped his pencil against the desk. "Well, I would obviously kill them."

Travis looked nervous, he shook his head, left and right. "Could you maybe... not think so... yandere... ish?" Sweat immediately broke out. Maybe he shouldn't have said that.

"You're right." He started writing on a piece of paper. Travis was pretty curious about what he was writing.

"What are you... writing?" He asked, not knowing that he changed the topic. He got up and walked over to him.

Not hearing his footsteps, Travis peaked over Aaron's shoulder. There was papers scattered everywhere on his desk.

He took a closer look. They were love letters. "Are these for Aphmau?" He picked one up and read it.

You're special to me.
You're the only one who I wouldn't mind losing sleep for, the only one who I can never get tired of talking to, and the only one who crosses my mind constantly throughout the day. You're the only one who can make me smile without even trying. You're the one I'm afraid of losing and the one I want to keep in my life.

"Yeah." Aaron replied without thinking. He continued writing on the paper. His red cheeks were obvious, he was thinking about her right now.

Travis couldn't help but smile. He loves her so much. I wonder if Katelyn and I could ever love each other. Travis thought.

"So about Katelyn," Aaron stops writing. "I think it would be best if you give her more time to get over the break up."

"But if she never gets over it?"

"Be there for her. Comfort her. Tell her how much she deserves someone better."

"But... what if she starts liking someone else?"

Aaron smirks, "Well there is always an option-"

"I'm not killing anyone, Aaron!" Travis threw him a glare.

"Calm down! It was a joke!" He laughed. Although he wasn't really joking.

Step 1: Have a conversation

"Yeah! And so she kinda... beat me up after pushing her head into the cake." Travis laughs nervously.

Katelyn laughs, "Well, I would too so I can't really blame your cousin for it." They both laugh.

"You know, that kinda reminds me of that time when my dad pushed my head into my cake and I got mad that I didn't talk to him for a week!"

"Yeah, can't really blame you. Besides, my cousin is 8 years old but she's really tough." Travis and Katelyn continue talking and laughing.

Step 2: Compliment her

"Hey Katelyn!" Travis waves. "I like your hair style."

Katelyn lightly blushes. "Thanks."

Travis smiles, "I think you look cuter with it. You should put it up more often." He walks off leaving a blushing Katelyn.

Step 3: Walk her home

"Thanks for walking me home."

"No problem!" Travis bows, "Anything for the princess." He jokes. Katelyn rolls her eyes and laughs.

Step 4: Ask her out

"Hey, Katelyn!" Travis runs over to Katelyn. He hands her a bouquet of peony.

Katelyn accepts it and gives Travis a nice smile. "Thanks." Travis smiles back.

"So, uh, I know we only hung out for 1 week and 3 days but I was wondering if we could go out and get to know each other more." Travis offered, hoping to get a yes from her.

Katelyn looks at him and smiles, "Sure!" She's been enjoying his company. She had to admit, he was pretty cute. He started making her feel happy and loved and not in a way a friend makes you feel.

"Is this a date by the way?"

"Only if you want it to be!"

Travis got home and started texting Aaron right away. He couldn't stop talking about his little date with Katelyn.

He couldn't even believe that Katelyn was blushing when they were at their date. Was it actually working?

"This has to be a dream!" Travis thinks out loud. "I have to thank Aaron!"

After sending a 'thank you' message to Aaron, Aphmau texted him.

[Aph] Hey not alone buddy! :D

Aphmau

Aphmau...

Aphmau!

"I can give Aphmau's number to Aaron!"
