• Falcon's POV •

It was the night before the Spring Fling, I was getting a little nervous and anxiety was sure getting the best of me. "Falcon, Falcon." I heard. "Falcon!" Fallon screamed right in front of my face. "Y-yeah?" I snapped out of my daze. "What were you doing? Stop freaking out, there's no need to be nervous. Just take it as a hang out and let whatever's going to happen, happen." She walks to my room door and closes the door behind her, "Calm down, please." "I'm trying-" She gets interrupted by a text.

From Beck:

Spring Fling got postponed to Wednesday evening instead. Tori insisted to do her live performance tmr. Sikowitz gave in.

To Beck:

Oh, aight.

From Beck:

I was so excited but they got me waiting for another two days. I don't like this:(

To Beck:

Too bad:")

From Beck:

What ya doing?

To Beck:

I was chatting with my sister until you texted. But I'm about to turn in for the night, we have school tomorrow.

From Beck:

Oh oops, sorry. G' night. :)

To Beck:

Creepy smiley face but g' night.

It was the next morning and since Spring Fling was being postponed, I was relieved. At least I didn't have to worry about it for now. I got ready for school and headed downstairs to make breakfast and to my surprise, Fallon and Steven were already awake too. "Good morning." Steven looks over at my direction. "Morning." I greeted them back. "Come have breakfast then Steven and I will drop you off at school." Fallon tells me. "I can head to school on my own, why bother the two of you?" I asked, sitting down at the table with the two of them. "We are meeting a client on Dad's behalf by his order and it's along the way. Cristal instructed we drop you off too. Don't fight it." Fallon hands me a plate of pancakes and bacon, laughing. "Oh alright, alright. I won't fight it." I heaved a sigh, laughing and then I started eating breakfast. After breakfast was done, I grabbed my backpack and they sent me to school.

As we were nearing the drop-off point at the front of the school, I saw Beck standing there from the corner of my eye. "Well, that's your fine guy friend over there." Steven pointed out. "Oh, great now you too, Steve?" I playfully rolled my eyes at him. "Stop it, Steven. She doesn't like it." Fallon reminded as we got nearer to the drop-off point. "Says the one who has been teasing her more than I did." Steven chuckled. Fallon pulled up at the drop-off point, right by Beck. "Thanks, you guys. Bye." I reached over, giving Fallon a quick hug from the passenger seat and waved bye to Steven who was at the rear before getting out of the car. "Hey." Beck smiled at me as I approached him. "Hi." I replied, "Why were you, you know, waiting for me?" "Why can't I wait for a friend so that we can hang out and talk for awhile before lessons start?" He laughs. "Just asking, Beck." I let out a chuckle. We then walked to my locker so that I could drop off books I didn't need for first period, "It's just- why?" "What, why?" He shot me a weird expression. "I'm basically a nobody in this school. Now, you know who my family is. It's not easy being in it. My family likes you, sure. If we- never mind." I sighed in frustration. "If we what?" He pulls me into the janitor's closet, "Just tell me, Fal. Please? You can trust me, alright?"

• Beck's POV •

She starts avoiding eye contact with me. As much as I wanted to just say forget it and have us get on with our day, I really want to know what's bothering her. "If it's because you think you are not good enough for me, you're wrong. You're one of the most talented girls I've ever known, Falcon. If not, how would you be here?" I spoke. I knew she had a crush on me, it was pretty obvious. "I'm not asking for an answer, I won't start anything with you if you don't want to. I will wait for you till you're ready. For now, I just want to let you know that I like you, Falcon Malory Carrington. I will be waiting patiently for you till you're ready." I gave her a hug. The bell rings. "Let's get to class, okay?" I said, extending my hand out to her, "Still friends?" "I'll think about it." She looks up and gives me a small smile before holding my hand and we walk to Sikowitz's classroom.

"Why is Sikowitz always late for class?" Andre groans. "I don't know man. That's him for you." I shrugged and took a seat beside him with Falcon seated beside me. I heaved a sigh of relief. I'm glad she didn't start avoiding me, Spring Fling was in two days. A couple minutes later, Sikowitz arrives and he begins the lesson talking about how there's this weird smell coming from under his bed. "Sikowitz!" Jade rolls her eyes, "Can we just begin the lesson for real? We're not here to listen to your personal issues." "Alright, alright. Drive by acting exercise- where is Tori?" He starts looking around the classroom, panicking, as usual. "I'm sorry I'm late!" Tori barges into class and hastily takes a seat. "Why are you late, Ms. Vega?" Sikowitz questioned. "Because of Trina! She-" She starts complaining. "Whatever." Jade said in annoyance which she got an annoyed stare from Tori in return.

A few lessons later, it's lunch now. Falcon and I were with the gang like we always would be. You know just, Robbie, Andre, Cat, Jade and Tori. "By the way, thanks a lot Tori. You just had to have your live performances today." Robbie snapped. "What? Sikowitz gave me permission. It's not as if the Spring Fling is canceled. It's just been moved back a couple days, come on. I wanted to get this live performance thing over and done with." She snaps back. "Why is Beck so quiet?" Cat asks. "They're holding hands! Under the table!" Cat gasps. Well, we've been busted, exposed? I don't even know. "I see you, bro." Andre smirked. "Stop it you guys, what's the big deal?" I continued holding onto her hand. "When did you guys start going out?" Jade glares at me then at Falcon as she drank a huge gulp of her coffee. "We haven't started going out, alright?" I threw my hands up in defeat. "And- you guys are already holding hands? Come on, Beck." Robbie nudged. "Ehh!" Rex yells. "Shut it, Rex." I said. "Falcon's not exactly ready yet for a relationship. I'm not rushing into things, I can wait, I told her. It's just her family, they're kinda strict." I explained to the group briefly. "Oh. Okay. We get it." Andre nodded, so did the rest. "About that live performance tonight Vega, you won't see me there. I got myself something to do once I heard Spring Fling was being postponed." She smirks. "Whatever." Tori mocks Jade. Just then, the bell rings and we all head in different directions for our next lessons.
