How to get the Girl

.

.

16-year-olds Jack and Ben just left Signal for the end of the day and were heading towards the small diner near the Rose residence, and one of the reasons both boys goes to the diner is because it's owned by Jack's aunt; Yang Xiao Long. Unlike her other two establishments in downtown Neo Vale, this is much friendlier environment than her restaurant and bar. Plus, they get 50% off every time they eat there.

Jack and Ben sat in their usual booth and a waitress came up to them, "Hey boys, same old?"

"Just drinks for now," replied Jack and Ben nodded in agreement.

"Drinks on the way boys," the waitress winked at them and left.

Jack then lean in closer to Ben and asked, "So how's it going with that girl you're dating?"

Ben groaned, "Don't even get me started. She's a goddamn stalker, like just last week. I told her that I wouldn't be able to go to the movies with her because my sister was in town and stuff. So, when my sis dropped me off, my girlfriend was sitting on the steps of my home waiting for me!"

Jack just shrugged and said, "So?"

"So?"

"Hey! I never had a girlfriend so I really don't know the 'rules' of dating," stated Jack.

"This wasn't the first time though, the day after, I had to cancel our date again because I was going out to dinner with my family, and guess what she did,"

"She was there?" said Jack.

"Worse, she was there early and reserve seats for her family and mine," Ben finished by shuddering.

"Okay . . . I can see why you would think that she's a stalker," stated Jack taking a sip of his drink.

Ben nodded, "Yesterday, I break up with her,"

Jack was surprised, "Well . . . do tell . . . details man,"

"Okay, I invited her over, told her that I needed to talk to her about something. She came over and I got straight to the point, no sugar coating, no bullshitting, I flat out stated that I'm breaking up with her and I explained the reason why" finished Ben.

Jack was sitting there waiting for more and when Ben didn't continue he asked, "And?"

Ben sigh, "She exploded in anger and threaten to kill herself and all,"

"Damn, reminds me of that girl in YouTube," said Jack.

Ben nodded and made an expression that agreed with Jack, "Good thing I don't have a girlfriend," stated Jack.

"And you'll never will," stated 18-year-old Elizabeth coming to their booth and sitting next to Ben.

Jack looked at his sister and commented, "Wow, you look like sh-"

He wasn't able to finish because Elizabeth shot him a glare with a finger pointed at him, "Don't you even try to test me,"

"Jeez . . . the fuck is your problem," said Ben, Elizabeth directed her glare to Ben to which he kept his mouth shut.

The waitress came back and asked Elizabeth, "What will it be this time hun?"

"My death," responded Elizabeth.

The waitress' eyebrow rose at the statement, Jack simply said, "Just get her what she usually gets here, and our usual meals as well,"

"You got it, hun," the waitress left the three teenagers and proceeded to place their orders.

"Now are you going to tell us what the hell is wrong with you," said Jack, being serious, he hates when his sister is all sad and depressed. Just like that time, he had to prove to her what kind of person Danielle was, but he was there to help her out.

"Liz, please," said Jack.

Elizabeth sighed, "It's Claire, she's . . . I saw her with another girl, holding hands . . . kissing," she sobbed a little at the last part.

Jack sighed and lowered his head, he chuckled slightly and said, "Okay . . . I'm trying really hard not to burst out laughing. But why would you be upset over this? Wasn't you who suggested that you wouldn't pursue a romantic relationship with her,"

"Don't remind me," grumbled Elizabeth.

Jack chuckled, "Sorry sis, you made that mistake and I'll keep reminding you of it,"

Elizabeth growled at Jack, but couldn't fault him for the truth he spoke, she didn't want to pursue Claire. After seeing Claire with someone else, she was starting to have doubts about her decision.

She sighed and banged her head on the table in frustration.


Hours later, Elizabeth decided to go back to her family home instead of Beacon, she didn't have classes in the morning so she'll be able to catch a shuttle back to the campus in the morning. She was in her room, studying, well she was until her mind started to wander off to think of Claire, how beautiful she looks and how jealous she got by seeing Claire with another girl. She stood up from her desk and left her room and went to the room next to it.

"I need your help," Elizabeth said barging in Jack's room.

Jack jumped at Elizabeth's sudden barging in, "Liz what the hell?"

"I need your help," repeated Elizabeth.

"With?"

"Claire,"

Jack chuckled, "Liz, Liz, Liz . . . changed our minds have we,"

Elizabeth glared at her brother and grumbled out, "Are you going to help me or not?"

". . . Why would you need my help?" asked Jack standing up from his chair.

Elizabeth sighed and shrugged, "I don't know, you're my brother and I trust you,"

Jack nodded in understanding, "Plus it's good for the plot," finished Elizabeth.

"What?"

"What?"

Elizabeth shook her head, "So are you going to help me or not,"

Jack sighed, "Sure,"

Elizabeth nodded, "After school, come to Beacon and go to the library,"

Jack nodded in understanding, Elizabeth then handed him a card, "Only Beacon students are allowed on campus, so take my old card from last year,"

"Alright, I'll be out around 3, okay,"

Elizabeth nodded and left Jack's room. Jack stared at the card and sighed, tomorrow is going to be a long day.


Jack left Signal for the day and raced across town to catch an airship to Beacon, he had to catch it so he wouldn't have to wait an hour and be late and upset his sister in the process. He got on, he swiped the card on the monitor and it light up green in confirmation. He took his seat and enjoyed the view. Jack was anxious about attending Beacon next year, stories from his mothers and sister are not helping contained his excitement. He's going to be the best huntsman of his generation, outranking his mothers and aunts and their friends when they went to Beacon.

The airship landed on Beacon's platform, Jack stepped out and was in awe at how grand the school looks. This was his first time coming to Beacon.

"Wow," said Jack.

He saw students walking around, but there was one feature that everybody else had that he didn't that made him stand out, they were wearing Beacon's issued uniforms while he was dressed in his plain clothes.

"Shit," he mumbled and used his semblance to zoom past the students in the courtyard and enter the school's building. He successfully sneaked around while not being seen, he knew he was being ridiculous because the students wouldn't care, but he couldn't risk it.

He made it to the library and was surprised that it was mildly empty, save for some students here and there.

Jack found Elizabeth sitting in one of the desks and approached her, when he got closer, he noticed that she was fidgeting.

"You okay sis?" he asked.

Elizabeth jumped but calmed down when she saw it was Jack, "I'm fine, I was waiting for you,"

Jack took a seat across from Elizabeth, "So what's the plan,"

"The plan is simple, I've asked Claire to meet me here in about 10 minutes and before she gets here, I need you to give me some advice and calm my nerves,"

Jack chuckled and shook his head, "On the way over here I knew this was all ridiculous but I still came, now I know I should have stayed home and just texted you,"

"Shut up, I . . . I-I just needed you near so I know . . . so I know that-" Elizbeth wasn't able to continue and Jack saw how nervous his sister was.

"Listen . . . I've never been in a relationship before so I don't how these things work, but I do know what you should do,"

Elizabeth looked up and Jack continued, "First, deep breaths, it will calm you down so you wouldn't mumble and ramble on to Claire. Second, you ask her here to what? Study? Talk? Because if it is studying, then get some studying out of the way and then pop the question of 'Hey would you like to go out with me,'

Elizabeth took a deep breath and nodded, "Third, just be yourself, just be who you are, because if she doesn't like who you are, then there's no point in chasing after her," finished Jack.

Elizabeth let few tears fall and nodded, Jack smiled at his sister and put his hands over hers, "You got this okay,"

Again, Elizabeth nodded, Jack stood up kissed Elizabeth on her head, "I'm heading back, just stay calm and be yourself,"

"Okay," said Elizbeth. "Text me when you get home,"

"I will, good luck sis, don't fuck up," Jack said leaving the library.

Elizbeth chuckled and flipped him off. After he left, she took deep breaths and calm herself down. Minutes later she felt a hand on her shoulders and saw Claire.

"Sorry it took me so long, first year here and still trying to figure out where everything is," said Claire.

"Don't worry you're fine," stated Elizabeth

Claire smiled to which Elizabeth blushed a little by the action, "So . . . shall we get started?" asked Claire.

"Yeah. Lets,"

Both Elizabeth and Claire stayed in the library studying and talking over hours, then Claire started packing her stuff, "I really have fun studying with you Rose, we should do it next time,"

"Yeah, we should," said Elizbeth.

Claire smiled and said, "Well, I'm off, see you later Elizabeth,"

Elizabeth's heart skipped a beat by the way Claire said her name, "Claire wait,"

Claire turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, nothing's wrong it's just that I-I . . . ahem . . . I just wanted to ask you something," said Elizabeth.

"What is it?"

Elizbeth took a deep breath, "I was wondering if-if you'll like to-to go out on a date with me?"

Claire's mouth was opened slightly at Elizbeth's question, to which Elizabeth started to freak out, but soon, Claire's mouth closed and smiled with a small blush

"What did you have in mind?" the blond asked.

"Oh-oh . . . I was thinking a traditional date, nothing big, just a dinner then a movie," said Elizabeth smiling.

"Alright, it's a date. So, Friday at 5," asked Claire to the white-haired girl.

"Yeah, that will be great,"

"Great," said Claire.

She went up to Elizabeth and kissed her on her cheek, "I'll see you on Friday then,"

"See you," said Elizabeth while staring at the memorizing form of Claire.

After Claire left the library, Elizbeth jumped in joy. She was happy, and all thanks to her brother.

"You're welcome, now good night!" said Jack after she called him later that night still in her high. She looked out to the shattered moon and smiled.
