"Good morning, Ebony," beli said as you sat down next to her at their table. "hello," you replied cautiously. You did not like to talk so much, for fear of saying something wrong. but your friends were caring and knew this, so they spoke to you the most, but you did not have to answer. "so what's going to happen today?" Liv, one of your other friends from another class, asked after a while of silence. Again, you didn't answer, but your blue eyes found her quickly.

"I don't know; probably it's a normal day like the others. But we should go. the class starts in 4 minutes," beli said, and you, Donut, and she got up and slung your bags over your shoulders and said goodbye to your friends. "you should use volute to sing today, Ebony," Donut hinted, and you just blushed. "I do not think it is .... a good idea," you said quietly, but the two girls heard you and smiled at each other. You were always a sweet boy. "it's fine, Bony; you need to show yourself more. But of course, we will not force you," beli said and gave you a little push with her elbow.

You just kept quiet and kept going. When you got to the door to the music, you saw that Elias and his friends were already there. They looked up when you walked in, and Elias's green-blue eyes caught your sea blue. He gave you a quick smile before turning back to his friend, Kevin, with whom he spoke. Beli and Donut had not lost this and smirked at what you put down. But luckily they said nothing and the lesson started when the teacher came.

"So Ebony having any crushes lately?" Os aksed as a smirk formed on his face. Your eyes went wide, and you looked up at him. He chuckled at your innocent bunny face and ruffled your hair. "Aish stop being so cute~" he jokes, and you're taken back by his action. He or any of the other boys have never touched you like that. Once you're older, 2. They've never been so close to you either.

Oscar seems to see what he'd done, and his cheeks flare. "I-I'm so sorry!" He exclaims. You say nothing, and your gaze is averted. Even Kevin and Elias are surprised by their friend's actions. Finally, you stand up and go without another word. "Yah! What did you do that for?!" Elias scolded the younger, who immediately v blushed even harder. "I-I d-don't know, OK?! He was just so cute; I couldn't help myself." Elias sighed.

"Aish. Maybe he'll still talk to us, don't worry bout it," Elias says, and the trio continues their talks. Meanwhile, you're sitting in a corner trying to calm your razing heart. "Bony?" Beli's voice calls to you, and you look up, blue eyes meeting brown. She sees the situation you're in and immediately comes over sits down. "you're OK?" she asks gently, to which you nod your head. She opens her arms, and you lay your head on her chest. Even tho she is younger, she's like a sister to you. she will always be there for you and vice versa. "just say when you want to talk bout it, OK?" she says, and you hum, wrapping your strong arms around her waist. She smiles as she sees your cute lite pout. 

"Why are you pouting like that, Bunny?" she asks, and you look up at her. "i- I'm just thinking about what happened. I don't understand why he did it..." you trail off you see some fellow students walk past. The girls in your class always try on you, the only cause of your looks. You clench your jaw as your sensitive eyes catch the dirty glimpse they send to Beli, whos still holding onto you. You sit up when they're gone and straighten your sweater. " wanna go back to the others?" beli asks as she stands. You, to stand and smile a small smile, nodding. She smiles back at you, takes your hand in hers, and leads you to others. 

"there you are. We were becoming worried," erva says as she checks your body for any wounds, but when she finds none, she smiles at you, and you smile softly back. " he's OK, I believe. I saw him in a corner in the hall, seeming to have a panic attack or something." beli sums up, and the others nod, understanding. "if you wanna talk about it with us, just say," tiril offered. You shrugged and said softly, "not now" your friends nodded, and you started to talk about different things. Meanwhile, was Os still having a wrong time. He had to calm his own racing heart. He didn't know why he touched you; he never did. You just were so cute. he sighed and looked up when the teacher called him and his friends in again; they were late. 

You were sitting down in your chair in art class, drawing a portrait of something. 

"Wow, that's soo good!" Donut praised as she saw your drawing. You smiled and continued. Soon enough, the day ended, and you packed your things, walking to your locker. "umm, ebony..." a voice said from behind you. You stiffed at the voice and turned slowly around. There stood Os, visibly embraced. "i... I just want to apologize for earlier. I don't know what happened" you looked at him with your head titled. You smiled and said softly, "it's OK, Os, it wasn't your fault. but I better be going now," you said and turned around and walked home. Unbeknownst to the two of you, a very jealous boy watched you from afar. he clenched his fist and muttered, "you'll be mine someday, Ebony."
