"Danny?" She asked while raising her eyebrow.
"Wait, hold on, you two have dated before?" Invenzor asked as he felt betrayed.
"Dated before = Ex now, and yeah, we have," Danny joked, winking at Alyssa.
"Excuse me." Alyssa said, as she sounded shocked, "You and I were just in the same dance crew but we never dated"
"Wait, so, we weren't really dating?" Danny asked while scratching the back of his head.
"No, Danny," Alyssa said as she rolled her eyes "We're just co-members in the same organization. That's it. Nothing more." She added as she tried to lift the tent.
"But, what about those gifts you keep giving me?" He asked with confusion in his eyes.
She looked at him, annoyed. "Danny, I was just being friendly. That was a thank you gift for helping through our practice and training," she said, as she sounded frustrated. "The reason why I give gifts to all of my friends is because I appreciate their time helping me," she explained.
"If you guys weren't really dating, then Danny here just assumed that you had feelings for him even though you were just thanking him as a friend," Angel Nicole said, as she added while pointing at Danny, "So, it means you had misinterpreted the whole situation."
"It wasn't a misinterpretation. I knew deep down that Alyssa had feelings for me. It wasn't just because we were in the same organization or as co-members, but more than that," Danny explained as he tried to grab Alyssa's hand, but Invenzor got in between.
"I have to stop you right there, Danny. I know that we're friends and all, but I won't let you come near Alyssa," Invenzor said with arms crossed.
Danny sneered and said, "You really are a brave one to step between your own friend and that lying lunatic."
"The only lying lunatic here is you, Danny!" Angelika shouted at him while pointing.
"Oh, so, it's my fault now?" Danny asked while pointing at himself.
Everyone nodded, as Alyssa said, "To cut you short, WE. NEVER. DATED. Get that inside your head," she indicated as she walked out of the scene, pushing him from the shoulder, while the rest also followed her behind and kept pushing Danny aside.
Angelika tapped Danny's shoulder and said, "Hey Danny, don't assume that our friend dated you. Because she doesn't fall for guys like you, she has standards. " She then followed behind the rest after she said that.
"She's right," Micah agreed. "Maybe you've dated someone that looks like Alyssa, but to tell you honestly, she's had only one past boyfriend." She then added and pushed Danny aside while giving him a disgusted look.
"She won't date a guy who hangs out with their friends and that's it," Jasmin added, her arms crossed.
"You boys are all the same except for Invenzor, of course. You'd assume the simplest thing about us even though we're just being friendly," Angel Nicole said as she sounded annoyed and left him behind.
After they left Danny behind, the guys led the way first, then the girls followed behind them as Angelika nudged Alyssa's elbow and whispered, "So, that guy wasn't really dating you?" She asked, curiously.
"No, I would never date someone's friend. If only it was a stranger, then I would date them," Alyssa said.
"Like they say, it's better to date someone you don't know yet, specifically Invenzor," Jasmin teased while winking.
Alyssa stopped Jasmin from teasing her. "Stop that or else they might hear us."
"Why not, you two looked perfect together besides his a green flag" Angel Nicole said, as she also agreed.
"Then why don't you date him instead, since you keep insisting?" I know he's a walking green flag and all, but I'll think about it. If he's really "THE ONE," Alyssa said as she shook her head and left to be with the guys.
The girls shrugged and looked at each other and sighed, as Micah asked, "What was that all about?"
"I don't know, maybe it's because we are giving her pressure to date Invenzor even though they've hardly known each other," Jasmin added.
"But, even though they hardly knew each other. So the guy is nice and quite handsome as well. "If she gets together with him, then it's a blessing in disguise," Angelika said as she teased.
"Keep your mouth shut or they might hear us," Angel Nicole said.
"Why don't you get together with one of Invenzor's friends? They seem nice though," Jerna said as she teased.
Angelika shook her head and said, "Oh no, I can't do that."
"Why not? "Are you shy about asking them?" Micah asked as she teased as well.
"Oh, no. I'm just not into friends-to-friends kind of things like asking a friend to be your GF or BF. Yeah, that's not gonna work" Angelika explained as she shook her head.
"She does have a point though. If you want to date your friends, there's a 5% chance that it will work, or a 10% chance it might work, but we still don't know." Jerna explained as they kept walking.
As the girls were teasing and talking to each other behind the boys and Alyssa, they didn't know that they were already silently smiling, laughing, and looking at each other.
A few minutes later, they'd arrived at the field. The boys helped the girls set up the tent, chairs, and tables.
As they were setting up everything, they were also chatting, laughing, and smiling at each other as they worked on the booth.
As the rest started fixing everything for the booth, Micah, Jerna, Jasmin, and Angelika were with their Invenzor friends on the left side of the tent.
Alyssa, Invenzor, and Angel were on the right side. As Angel was fixing the top decoration for the tent, she suddenly fell out of balance on the chair she was standing on. Luckily, Invenzor was quick enough to catch her in time. Everyone was shocked and quickly went to Angel to ask if she was okay. Alyssa looked at them from afar and the way Invenzor caught her and looked at each other's eyes. She sighed, as she felt a tear drop from her face. She quickly wiped it off and cleared her throat while continuing what she was doing.
