Vita, Rilynn, and Florian were standing in front of Asteria as she glared at them. Coletta stood by observing them quietly.

Asteria looked at an unbothered Rilynn, “Did you put them up to this?”

“Why would I do that? I could care less about your stupid date,” said Rilynn as she grabbed Coletta by the hand and started to walk away with her.

“All you do is bother me about being with Luca so why wouldn’t you,” said Asteria irritated.

Rilynn ignored her as Coletta glanced at Asteria and then she gave Asteria a smile and a wave “goodbye”. That made Asteria angrier as she turned her attention toward Vita. Vita quickly confessed to being the one who wanted to follow them and invited Florian and Rilynn. Florian immediately told Asteria he and Rilynn wanted no part in the spying because they were busy with playing video games.

“She forced us to come here. I want you and Luca to get together while she came here to sabotage it so you could be with Rilynn,” Florian added on causing Vita to shove him.

“You are such a snitch. Can’t you keep a secret?” said Vita.

“You’re the one who can’t keep secrets. You told Rilynn about a little secret between me and you, Vita,” said Asteria as she gripped Vita’s shoulder.

Vita turned to a confused Florian as she figured the secret was about Asteria liking Florian, “Well it’s obvious so she was going to catch on eventually,” She said trying to ease the tension.

“I didn’t. What’s the secret?” asked Florian.

Asteria’s phone suddenly beeped and it was a message from Luca. Asteria told Florian and Vita that they could stay only if they didn’t spy on her date. Asteria looked at Florian as he still tried to figure out the secret. She wanted to tell him how she felt about him but she couldn’t so instead she left to enjoy her date with someone else. Florian looked at Vita who was trying to figure out what she wanted to do. Florian grabbed her arm to get her attention.

“What?” Vita asked Florian.

“Would you like to walk around with me?” Florian asked.

Vita sighed, “Fine but this isn’t a date,” Vita made clear to Florian.

Florian shook his head agreeing and then they started to walk around together. Elsewhere, Rilynn was talking with Coletta about how she found her.

“So, you hacked my phone to get my location,” said Rilynn annoyed.

“Of course I did. You know I love to hack so why not use my skills to find you,”

“Then why did you need to find me?”

“I wanted to see you but you have been ignoring my calls and messages,”

“I know so you should understand by now I have no interest in talking or seeing you. I will contact you when I feel like it,” said Rilynn as she started to leave.

Coletta grabbed her arm to stop her, “Stop being so stubborn. Sooner or later something is going to happen and we won’t see each other again,” Coletta said as she grew concerned while she looked down at Rilynn’s hand as it had blood on it from when she was stabbing her palm with her nails, “What happened?”

Rilynn pulled her arm away and put her hands into her pockets, “Nothing. Why are you worried?”

Coletta still looked worried about Rilynn’s hand but she dropped the issue, “You know why I’m worried and that’s why I’m trying to see you as much as I could and my brother stressing around the house about your father isn’t helping me,” said Coletta as she placed her hand onto Rilynn’s cheek.

“Stop worrying about something that isn’t going to happen and your brother shouldn’t let my father get to him,” said Rilynn as she took Coletta’s hand off of her.

Coletta smirked and then she put her face close to Rilynn’s, “Your father is getting to my brother because my brother is occupied with getting himself into something he shouldn’t and that something could possibly anger your father,”

“What are you talking about? What is he doing?” questioned Rilynn.

Coletta gave Rilynn a quick peck on the lips, “You will find out soon,” Coletta said as she looked as if she was going to kiss Rilynn again but her phone beeped.

Coletta looked at it and she grew tense. She suddenly told Rilynn she had to leave and hurried off. Rilynn then left that area to find the others. When she did she found them separated. Asteria was with Luca looking at a fish tank to the left and Florian was with Vita looking at another one to the right.

“I can’t believe Vita and Florian are here two here,” said Luca to Asteria.

Asteria looked over to two nervous Vita and Florian, “I can’t believe it either but let them enjoy themselves and we do the same,” She said as she grabbed Luca’s hand.

“I hope she doesn’t think we are still following her. We just happened to bump into each other here,” whispered Florian to Vita as he waved at Luca.

“I really hope she doesn’t kill us for this shit and I can’t believe Rilynn ditched us to take the fall,” said Vita before she got excited by a Siamese fighting fish.

Asteria glanced at Florian a couple times as she flirted with Luca to try to see if he was looking but he was having a good time with Vita. Asteria didn’t quit as she then kissed Luca on the cheek. Florian looked over more excited than bothered causing Asteria to sulk. Rilynn observed the four of them as she let out a stressful sigh.

“This is this a mess and they don’t even know it,” said Rilynn to herself as she looked at Asteria as she tried to make Florian look at her as Florian had his entire attention focused on Vita.

Rilynn looked at down at her hand and saw the marks that Coletta saw. She looked at Asteria and Luca as they smiled at each other. Rilynn placed her hands into her pockets and then walked away leaving the four of them to their business together without her but Asteria caught her leaving and watched her as she disappeared alone through a set of doors.

Asteria’s date with Luca ended that day with Asteria unsure if she liked Luca more than a friend. She knew he was attractive, polite, and kind but Florian was the same but Florian had more of an outgoing personality than Luca which was what made Asteria like Florian to begin with. She was at a lost about Luca because she knew she wanted to start trying to see if Florian was interested in her but she was with Luca.

A couple weeks went by and Asteria found herself attempting to make Florian jealous as her and Luca were growing closer. Florian paid no mind to them and when he did he cheered them on while Vita tried to get Rilynn to jump in to stop blooming relationship. Rilynn, on the other hand, stopped bothering Asteria about Luca being bad for her and she also avoided Asteria more than usual.

It was a normal day of gym class and Asteria and Rilynn were competing with how many pushups they could do. The boys cheered on Asteria as all the girls cheered on Rilynn. In the end, Rilynn won. Asteria was going to ask Rilynn for a do over but Seraphina interrupted.

“I see you and Luca are getting along sweetly,” said Seraphina as Rilynn walked away and Asteria turned to her with a frown.

“Is that a problem too?”

“It just shows you have no feelings for Rilynn which is great because it’s obvious that Rilynn and I…”

“Are together, right, but I’m pretty sure Rilynn could care less about you Seraphina,”

Seraphina got closer to Asteria, “Rilynn and I have something special! Something you will never experience with Luca,”

“And why is that?”

Seraphina laughed, “Oh sweetheart you don’t want to know. It will just break your little heart,” claimed Seraphina before she poked Asteria in the chest.

Asteria slapped her hand away as Luca rushed over, “Hey Seraphina, the teacher wants to speak with you,” said Luca getting between them.

“Sure. I was done talking anyways. See you two love birds later,” said Seraphina as she walked away.

Luca turned to face an annoyed Asteria, “Sorry about her. She doesn’t know when to quit,”

“Is there something you need to tell me because I am about done with people telling me you are a bad person or that something between us could get me hurt? Tell me now or I will just find out myself,”

Luca smiled before he pulled Asteria into a hug, “There is nothing to tell so trust me and lets drop the whole thing,” He said as Asteria wrapped her arms around him.

Luca looked over to Seraphina as she was smirking at him. He glared at her and then let go of Asteria and pulled her cheek to tease her. Asteria playfully pushed him away while Rilynn looked at them. Later in the day, Luca was walking in the halls as students left the school. He found Seraphina and pushed her friends to the side to get to her. Seraphina backed up into the lockers as Luca was face to face with her.

“Are you trying to fuck this up?” questioned Luca who was displeased.

“Are you talking about at gym? I was just messing around. I wasn’t going to actually tell her,”

“I don’t care!” said Luca making Seraphina jump, “Just stay out of it until it’s time because if she finds out then I’m coming after you,” He said threatening a frightened Seraphina.

Luca’s attitude then switched from frightening to composed and calm when he apologized to Seraphina’s friends as they were just as scared as Seraphina was. He then walked away down the hall and turned to go down the stairs. As he did, he didn’t notice Rilynn coming out from the side as it was revealed she was listening to their conversation.
