It is the first week of February, and the season just got colder. The students of Rubando High School can be seen to be wearing jackets with their uniforms underneath.

Break time, Literature club room.
Amethyst, the club president, is grinning happily while looking at the papers on her table. Beside her is Sarah Keziah Farro.
All the previous sales of the pamphlets that the club has made is a success. The pamphlets are sold out and some students are requesting some, but unfortunately, the club was left with none to sale.
That was what made Amethyst happy.
"Such things like that made you so happy? Tsk, if I were you, I would this is not enough." Sarah said while looking at the smile plastered at the face of the President.
"Of course this is not enough, and I'm planning to for the club to reproduce some copies for the Valentine's day. The principal has decided for it to be celebrated on February fourteen."
Hearing about it, Sarah's face brightened up. "Really?"
"Of course, and you're lucky that all fourth year students will have their Class Prom." Amethyst added.

Tyson Montgomery, or should say, just Tyson, he can't understand why his boys changed a bit.
When it comes to bullying others, his boys are fine with it as long as they should not go too far. Tyson just wants to make others know that no one should provoke him.
He is the mayor's son after all, and that also made him look down on others like they were ants in his eyes. This made some guys in the school to hate Tyson. Only in front of pretty ladies can Tyson act like a good guy.
What troubled him however, are his boys who refused to follow his words whenever Bren and Jazz are involved.
His boys can never forget how Bren defeated all of them and even made unconscious. Sure that moment is one thing that Tyson can't forget, and he also feared him. But his boys do not even cooperate even though he wants to take revenge on him in a discreet way.
Tyson was left with no choice but to leave Bren be and just hope he'll get his chance soon.
Tyson's thoughts are disturbed when a girl sat beside him and looked at him in the eyes. "What's the matter Tyson?"
The girl is his girlfriend, whom he courted after his rejection from Crystal. If the higher year students will see these two, they will surely curse them for being lovers despite them being first year studes.

The school library.
Jay, Mark, Natalie, and Bren are inside the library to do some of their homeworks before going home. The four of them didn't want to do their homeworks at their homes since it is a drag. Better finish them immediately so they won't have worries.
"Man, these books are hard to find." Bren said as he sat down after looking for a certain book.
"Oh? First years? What are you doing here?" Out of nowhere, two persons appeared.
"Mylene? Karla Mae? What are you doing here? And where did you come from?" Jay was surprised that they are inside the room. They didn't look like they came through the entrance door.
"Oh, we went to the storage room to put some boxes of old books. I am the librarian today, since we fourth years are taking turns being the librarians here." Karla Mae spoke as she pointed at the door in a corner that leads to the storage room.
Then suddenly, the Sali sisters pulled their chairs and sat side by side with Jay in between. Ever since Jay saved them from the drunk men encounter, some of the girls in the Literature club saw Jay in a different light. Him fighting those men are so cool, especially for the girls he saved. After that, the ladies wanted to more closer to him. Jay can't even understand what's going in their minds even though he knows that he has a high intelligence.
"So, care to introduce us to your friends?" Mylene said while she and her sister are both looking at Jay's face that is hidden under his jacket's hood.
Jay was embarrassed right now. Mark and Natalie are also throwing him weird looks. They didn't even know that Jay have some female friends. It was contradictory on how they know Jay previously.
'Did Jay finally brought out his courage to have so much funme lady friends? The three of looks so close.'
'The two girls seems like they are flirting with him. Did something happen?'
Those are the thoughts running in Mark and Natalie's minds. For Bren it was different though.
Jay mustered up his courage but failed to do so when the sisters moved their faces closer to him. He felt like dying now, this is the first he encountered such thing.
But he quickly went over it as he introduced the three to the two sisters. The sisters in return, also introduced themselves. They knew who these two sisters are, but the two girls only know Jay in the group.
"So, what are you all doing here?" Karla Mae asked as she and Mylene finally made some space for Jay. Jay sighed in relief as he tried to focus on his homework, although he can feel beads of sweats threatening to fall from his forehead.
"We're just answering our assignments, and we came here hoping that the books here will help us." Natalie answered.
Karla Mae and Mylene are surprised. Usually, the internet is the best place to visit when doing homeworks.
"I see. I'm happy that you came here, and I hope you'll visit this library once in a while. It was rare for students to come here for studying since one can just browse the internet when doing such things. I appreciate your efforts."
Jay, who is between the two ladies, are trying to focus hard on his paper. Right now, Mylene is so close to him since she is watching him solve solve some math problems.
Seeing that Jay seems to be troubled, Mylene thought that she should help. Little did she know that Jay is trying to focus. The scent coming from her are distracting his senses.
'Damn, I have been too laid back recently. There are no missions for us these previous weeks and my senses and awareness are getting dull. I should ask Xander to train us more. I can't let these ladies defeat me.' Jay thought as he blamed his lack of trainings and lack of fighting moments for his inability to focus.
Jay just let the girl teach him even though he already knew while Karla Mae is conversing with the other three.

The four finally left the library, leaving the sisters inside as they took care of some matters.
As they are walking home, Mark and Natalie can't help but throw Jay questioning looks. Jay is oblivious of their stares of course.
"So bro, those two sisters are flirting with you a while ago, tell us, are you hiding something from us?" Bren suddenly blurted out. Mark and Natalie are also expecting for him to answer. They just want to know what happened to their dear friend for those girls to act intimately with him.
Jay was startled by the question as he doesn't know what his Bren is thinking.
Jay decided to ignore the question when he met the weird looks of Mark and Natalie.
'Seriously, is something wrong with me?'
