Tsunami's PoV
Tsunami walked towards her homeroom. When she entered the room, she smiled as she saw her friend, Starflight. When she saw her crush, Riptide, Tsunami tried her best to contain her excitement and stay calm. "Hi, Starflight! How was your summer?" Tsunami asked.

"Hey, Tsunami. It was great. What about you, Riptide?" Starflight replied.

"Mine's was nice as well. It's good to see you both," Riptide answered. "What are your schedules?"

Tsunami looked at her schedule and groaned. "No... Gym first thing?! Why...?" Tsunami did enjoy gym and playing sports, but what made her so upset was because of the gym teacher, Ms. Kestrel. Ms. Kestrel never let them do anything fun, and almost every gym class was just exercises. They rarely played any games/sports, and it was boring. "What do you guys have?"

"I have Math," Starflight said.

"Science," Riptide said.

"That's way better than Gym with Kestrel," Tsunami muttered enviously. She didn't like either of those subjects very much, but anything was better than Gym with Kestrel as the teacher. They had some time before their first classes, so Tsunami plugged in her headphones and began to listen to "Danse Macabre" by Camille Saint-Saens.

"Tsunami, are you singing at the talent show before Christmas break?" Riptide asked. Tsunami paused her music and thought for a moment, before realizing that Starflight had gotten lost in a book, and wasn't paying attention. She suddenly felt self-conscious and nervous.

"U-um, I don't know... Maybe not?" Tsunami stammered.

"Why not? You did amazing last year, and everyone loves your voice."

Tsunami blushed at the praise and replied, "Thanks... but honestly I only sang last year because I wanted my mother to stop being too overprotective..."

"Just sing for fun this year?"

"Okay," Tsunami smiled.

"Well, anyways, are you doing anything exciting sometime soon?" Riptide asked.

"Oh yeah! Me and Glory are going to a BLACKPINK concert on the thirtieth! I'm really excited!" Tsunami exclaimed.

"Nice! I'm not really a fan, but BLACKPINK is really talented. They have great music."

Riptide's PoV
It's now or never, Riptide, he thought to himself. He had liked Tsunami since they met in eighth grade, and they had become great friends, but he was worried that Tsunami didn't return his feelings, and then things between them would become super awkward. "Um, Tsunami..." he began nervously.

"Yes?" Riptide looked at her, and observed every detail of her face. Her large, blue eyes, that shone with passion and fierceness, her long, dark brown hair that was streaked with blue...

Riptide quickly pulled himself together before he zoned out. "I was wondering... Um... If you want to go out with me."
