"When were these put up?" I pointed to a pink cardboard heart stapled to the wall above a random water fountain. I looked around. There were more decorations. Pink hearts, pink streamers, red cupids hung from the ceilings and walls.

"They've been up since last Friday Madeline-san." Sakura giggled.

"How did I not notice any of these?" I groaned then slapped my forehead. "Seriously, I really did not see the giant pink hearts, or the decorated…bathroom doors?... Eh, that's an odd thing to do."

"Yes, that is odd. Oh yeah, Madeline, are you going to the valentines dance?"

"Eh?" I thought about it. Still thinking about it. "When is it?" I already knew the answer.

"Its Monday of course! I thought you like knew that! You know, Mondayyy is Valentines dayyy, duh." Feliks popped between Sakura and I. He flipped his blond hair back. "We all totally need to go out this weekend and buy like cute dresses!"

"Yes you are right" Sakura sounded pretty eager. "And you will join us Madeline-san?"

"U-uh yea-h" The loud ringing of the second bell made us three jumped. "See you during lunch." I waved them both off.

-oOo-

"Okay this is what I'll teach you! Red Lipstick and eyeliner is all you need!" Madeline's aunt blew perfect O's of smoke. Amethyst eyes watched the doughnut smoke fade away wishing something similar to herself. "But if you wanna go Who-a(Whore) then add blush and mascara. Got it?" The woman's voice was very scratchy. It sounded so similar to Courtney Love's voice, except more aggressive.

"Y-yes"

-oOo-

After rinsing my mouth from the rancid taste I felt a sting in the back of my throat. That feeling has been there lately and it hurts more than usual. Why? Maybe I'm just… just-

"Madeline-san are you ready to go?" I could hear Sakura's soft calm voice faintly through the door. I could hear two other voices. I'm guessing, Yao and Alice.

"Yeah" I plastered my best smile then exit the bathroom. "Ready"

-oOo-

"Okay, now look. This one is like really cute! But Omigosh! This blue one just makes my waistline look so tiny!" Feliks kept pulling dresses off racks that engulfed Toris with petticoats and lace. Madeline was awkwardly watching wondering how she became friends with him.

"Feliks we have bought the dresses and heading for something to eat, aru." Long pause "Hey, are you ready?" Yao knocked on the changing room door.

"Uh no!" A green dress was tossed from the changing room landing on Yao's head. "Toris and I will meet you there, mmk?"

"Yeah, whatever" picking up their shopping bag the group made way to the food court.

"Oh, I left my wallet with Toris! I'll be right back" Madeline waved at the group then up the escalator she went. The walk to the clothing store took longer than necessary.

"Hey birdie!" She recognized that cocky voice. Ready to sprint a tall albino figure blocked her. "Yo, birdie I said 'Hey!', come on talk to the awesome me!"

Rolling her eyes she sighed "Hey, what do you want?"

That cocky laugh. "So are you going to accept to me my date?" Her eyes widen. "Yep, I sent you those two awesome notes!"

She wanted to kick the albino in the shin but instead she came up with a rude answer. "That was you? Not to be mean but you write like a girl" Her words were 'bitchy' but she fiddled with her skirt and looked down awkwardly making every moment looking so innocent. She mentally smiled when Gilbert had nothing smart to say. "Um well bye"

Relieving from the state of shock Gilbert puffed out his chest and smirked "Yeah, well I'll pick you up for the dance than." He walked off before Madeline could protest.

As for Madeline she was really pissed off.
