~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Trinity walked down the hall towards her locker carrying her books, school hadn't even started yet and still the halls were busy with people buzzing around. Though it would all seem pretty normal for February. She passed a few groups of people and then some more couples, she hated it every year was the same she saw all these people in love. She did like someone but she could never really talk to the guy let alone look at him when he was around it was horrible. She stopped at her locker and began to swirl the dial around to unlock it. She stood there in her own little world just thinking about it, opening her locker door she started to put some books into her locker and take some out getting ready for her morning classes.


Mark stood by Ben's locker, he had already been through his and gotten his things out for the school day and was waiting for Ben to show up like he normally did. He had already been through the masses of people standing in the middle of the halls and wasn't about to go through it again until Ben was there.

And so, Benjamin made his way to the good ol' locker - with a tired and lifeless facial gesture - "Hey..." The young man yawned loudly at his friend, covering his mouth with his left hand. "Good day, man..." This had to be a cruel joke, the boy was barely even standing today; his clothes were messy and wrinkled while his black hair showed no signs of having been brushed that morning. Benjamin's brown eyes focused on the books that he was going to carry for the rest of the day, //today, I'm going to die// Or that was his attitude whenever he felt tired.

Meanwhile, Melinda, Trinity's best friend, was just walking through the huge halls of the institution, waving her hand at several boys and one or two girls; apparently she did not like competition. Her short, curly and dark auburn hair along with her green glasses and a pink brooch appealed the most. "Good morning!" She cheered Trinity, waving and smiling happily at her.

Trinity had gone though everything that she needed and was closing her locker when she heard Melinda. She put the lock on and locked it before looking at her and smiled saying "I wouldn't say anything about good, but morning." She put her bag on her shoulder and then said "So, where too now?" She had no idea if Melinda had gone to her locker yet and knew that they had some time to spare before classes began anyways to waste.

Seeing Ben walk up Mark smirked then said "Morning", he watched as he Ben went through his books and then said "So, either you woke up late and just rolled out of bed or did you not even sleep late night?" he paused then said "In all honesty man you look beat." He held his book in his arm while he waited on his friend to hopefully wake up some.

"Hey...it could of have been worse...I could of have been drunk or something- and I don't even drink" Ben chugged some water, taking his history and chemistry books first. "Do you know...uh" The poor guy blinked in confussion "uh....when do we have the first class? What time is it?" He fixed his clothes as he waited for a reply, moving the rest of the junk he had inside of the locker -photographs, books, even a small snack was inside the small and secure box- to pick up the rest of the materials he would need throughout his classes.

Melinda did have her books ready as she walked aside Trinity "Well somebody is moody today..." The female sighed "I think we could do something....oh! I saw this really cute lipstick the other day that fits you perfectly! It's a pink passion-something...but you could use it to go on a date or for the prom! Now that I think about it, I found these ear-" She realised that she was getting off topic "E-Either way, you have to try it on" The female smiled and continued saluting everybody cheerfuly, what could have done her day so happy?

Trinity smiled then said "Moody, not at all", she laughed and said "Just aspect this for the rest of the month, I mean everyone around here is just ugh. You get tired of it after awhile, I mean walking by it everyday, every single day." She lightened up a bit then said "Anyways" she listened to her talk about lipstick and smirked a little and listened to her ramble on until she stopped and then laughed saying "I'll try it on but don't get any ideas about dates or prom." She watched as she waved to everyone and smiled saying "So, what has you all happy go lucky?"

Mark smirked and said "It's 8:45 and classes start at 9:00 and I'd hate to see you after you have been drinking if you look like this sober" he chuckled and watched him fumble around his locker and then said "Can you even see straight?" Seeing his friend like this only made him chuckle more normally it wasn't this bad but today just seemed to be a good day or bad day depending on how the mood turned out.

The male shook his head twice, rubbed his eyes and blinked once more. "I think I'm good now" And yet another yawn followed his words. At least his uniform looked neat by now, the tight belt, fixed shirt and straight pants were completely elegant. "....wanna go to the cafeteria?" Mumbled the teen.

"I kinda did! Do you know Jonah from history class? He is sooo cuuute~! So, he was talking with this one guy and I just totally bumped into him. I know- it wasn't a smart thing to do. ANYWAY. This other guy just left and we talked for some time and then he asked me out for the dance, can you believe it?!" Melinda did know that Trinity hated these kind of news, but she was so excited about it, even her make-up seemed more appealing that day.

Trinity sighed when she heard the news and waited for Melinda to finish before she said "Well look at that you got a date to the dance." She looked over at her and continued by saying "So are you guys going out or is it just the dance?" She didn't really care about the news it was just something to talk about and it seemed to make Melinda happy. She really had no idea where they we're but at least it was easier to ignore all the other things.

Mark chuckled a little then said "Alright then let's get going. Maybe you can get a coffee while were there." He stood up from leaning against the lockers and waited for Ben before he started towards the cafeteria.

And so, Benjamin headed to the cafeteria with his friend. Not many teenagers had arrived the school early, not even the half of the half, it was so common for them to come late. It was so common, that the rest of the students was still getting ready in their respective homes. "Yeah...coffee will make me feel better..." Ben walked normally, his eyes were completely open and even his facial gesture seemed to have changed from tired to happy, perhaps some company did well to the black-haired boy then.

"Hmm...I never really thought about that. Maybe, maybe, if he likes me- I mean, I know that he has to feel something but...I don't know, Tri, maybe he just wants me to go to the dance" The girl sighed "Anyway, what about you? It's been a while ever since you got a boy in your hands; and I think you deserve a guy that cares about you-. It's not like you are bad looking, because you are not!" Melinda reassured Trinity, trying to persuade her beloved classmate to do something about the situation.

Trinity looked over at Melinda and smiled saying "Hey he asked you to the dance it's a start, I mean why would someone ask anyone to the dance if they didn't feel anything towards them." Hearing the comment about her having a boy Trinity just shrugged then said "Thanks for that, but unless I wake up and feel like I can conquer the world then I think I'll leave love stories in books." She sighed then said "Besides I can't even look at him let alone talk to him...." he voice trailed off a little as she realized that she had just admit out loud that she like a guy. She looked down the hall and asked "So, where are we heading now?" she was trying to changethe topic and hoped that Melinda didn't catch it.

Mark smirked then said "Well you're looking a little better now anyways so coffee should just make you all the much better." When they rounded the corner to the cafeteria he saw the poster for the dance and instantly remember and looked at Ben and asked "Hey, you asked anyone to the dance yet? Or and girl ask you yet?" Mark had already asked a girl so he was set for the dance he was just making sure that Ben was going to have a good time too.

"Eh...ha...uhm--- Not really, I think I should ask somebody soon. What day is it again?" Benajmin analyzed the cafeteria, trying to remember where did they locate the coffee. His eyes wided with ease at the smell of the "glorious elixir of life", or that's how he called coffee in the mornings; it was the "holy elixir" before finals at night as well. //I have to get my hands on that sweet drink// The male thought, almost able to taste the drink because of the imponent aroma.

Unfortunately for Trinity, her friend had overheard about the possible boyfriend issue "...So you are in love? Really? Why didn't you tell me?! I could of have done something for you, you know? I know most guys in here. Maybe I could set you up to a date with him! What's his name? Tell me, please" The curious Melinda was just about to get her cellphone out of her purse; she had to act quick in order to get the male student and set them up to a date -or, at least, interest him to go out to the dance with Trinity-. The hyper girl waited for the answer with eager, holding her phone already.

Trinity watched as Melinda started to have one of her moments and sighed saying "Well um no? Sort of? I umm I don't know I don't think you could have really helped. I mean I can't look at him or talk to him while he is around and I bet that he knows who I am." She sighed then said "It's really alright though Mel you don't have to do any of that for me I'll be alright, trust me?" She put her hand on top of Melinda's hand holding the phone pushing it down.

Mark smirked then pointed across the room towards the coffee and said "Coffee's that way Ben", he laughed a little then said "The dance is next Friday so you don't have much time." He paused for a moment then said "I thought you would have asked somebody already though, why haven't you yet?"

Benjamin focused on getting the coffee first, then he would talk. The dark liquid was poured inside of a cup and, after the first few sips, the male was ready to talk "Will do, I just got lazy with the work and the homework and mom trying to sell my stuff last weekend" He took yet another sip from his cup "I hope I can ask a girl today, though. Is Jenny still mad at me?" The young man recalled one good prank that involved Jenny, but the prank went wrong and the female was the one that got hurt instead of the victim.

"Are you sure...?" Melinda answered with a question, she was not even slightly pleased with what she heard. The clocks moved faster and faster, the four teens would have to go to their respective classrooms soon enough.

Trinity looked at Melinda and sighed saying "Yeah, I'm sure on this one. But to cheer you up a bit his name is Benjamin. But that's all your getting." She smiled thinking that there had to be at least a dozen Benjamin's in the school so that ment there was going to be no way Melinda could do anything and yet still give her what she wanted. She looked at the clock then said "And before you even try to get anymore out of me I have to head to class. English with Mr. Marston, at the other end of the school." She smiled then waved saying "See you at lunch Mel" and headed towards class.

Mark chuckled then said "Jenny? you mean the one that got hurt? Yeah she's probably still mad I mean dude it was really bad." He grabbed a cup of coffee for himself then said "There has to be another girl you could ask without getting your face punched in." He took a sip of coffee and waited for an answer.

"Ha-ha, very funny" The young man said sarcastically, 'chugging' the rest of the coffee. "Let's go, we have English class today...hah! Lucky us, it's not so far" He smiled at Mark and headed out towards the classroom "Hurry up!" Laughs and different conversations soon joined the entire building.

"Okay! Bye-bye!" But Melinda was not going to let it stay this way. Oh, no, she had called three Benjamins to see if they knew her, the investigation was taking longer than she had expected. "Come on..." The female hurried up so that the class would not enter into the room and the Benjamins could still answer.

Trinity slipped into her English and took a seat by the window, there were a few other students in the class already so she pulled out her note book and started doodled on it. She knew that there was a few more minutes and only hoped that Melinda had just went to class and dropped the whole thing.

Mark chuckled and finished off his coffee and said "First thing, man that sucks, it has to be the most boring class of the day." He rolled his eyes and followed Ben out of the Cafeteria and towards their class. He laughed then said "A rush to English class, joys". He then turned to Ben then said "So whats the rush to English? We still have like two minutes."

"I don't know...just feel like we should get earlier today" But that was not what he had in mind. The male was looking for a girl indeed, trying really hard not to look tired thanks to the coffee. His research was pretty much covered by any girl, even the superficial-but-pretty-still were on the list. Benjamin was lucky enough to find a chair next to the ´popular´group, there -had- to be a girl without partner for the dance.

Melinda still continued trying to find this one guy, she called over twenty 'Benjamin' already! Such a bother...or so she thought, perhaps she was going to make Trinity a very huge favor that would have otherwise ended up randomly and by fate.

Trinity continued to just doodle on her notebook as more students filed into class. She didn't really pay much attention to the people in her class though as she just wanted to get the lesson over with so that she didn't have any work to do at home.

Mark sat down next to Ben and smirked saying "Oh yes, getting to English class early is just a feeling every one gets" he chuckled a little then asked "So the reason for getting her early is to get preferred seating now?" He looked across Ben to the 'popular' group and then back at Ben rolling his eyes slightly and said "Going to ask one of them?"

"I guess..." Benjamin shrugged, taking his time to think about a good question. Nonetheless, his cell phone rang, making that typical sound '-RIN-RING-RIN-RING-'. The male hesitated to answer, it was way too early, who could call him? "Uh- Hey?" - He did not have any idea of who this person was still, since the number was unknown - "Hey! You are...Ben, right?" Melinda smiled slightly, thinking that this had to be the one, although there were around 5 other Bens in the building. "Yeah. Who is this?" Replied the black-haired teen. "Oh- I'm Melinda, you know, we are in the same class, Biology, I think" A teacher soon approached the hallways. "Oh right...what's up?" //Lucky me! Looks like I found somebody// But, in reality, he was going to get something better than a partner "So I have this one friend, Trinity, do you know her?" She was confident that he really knew her. "Trinity...? ...Yeah...I think so" Benjamin couldn't help by peeking at the 'depressed' girl. "Did you invite anyone to the dance yet?" They had to hurry! The teacher could not delay any longer. "No- not yet" The male shook his head. "Invite her!".

Trinity had just been wasting time being bored out of her mind, fist thing in the morning and she had English, well at least it was the best class to get out of the way first. She heard a phone going off and she looked up slightly, but didn't see who it was before she went back to her notebook. She knew that the teacher would show up soon and then class would begin. Though upon hearing her name she looked towards the voice and saw that it was Ben on the phone, seeing this she put her head down on her desk and sighed. Of course Melinda wouldn't let it go how could she have though differently. She then sat up and stared at the board all she had to do was ignore the class like she normally did and then get out of class quickly and hunt down Melinda. Seemed simple enough.

Mark looked at Ben when his phone went off and watched as he answered it and the drowned out the conversation until he saw Ben look past him and say a name. He didn't really catch it but looked in the same direction thinking that he would see a girl on the phone as well. But nope not at all this was confusing slightly and looked back at Ben to see if he could catch the conversation again. Looking up at the clock though he saw the time then said "Hey, dude the teach is going to show up any minute, just a heads up." Mr. Marston wasn't that mean of a teacher but it was still something the students had to watch for.

"Oh- okay, hey I have to go, see you" Benjamin hung up first. The male couldn't help but wonder if this 'Trinity' was willing to accept to go to the dance with him. Many students still talked loudly and the girl probably did not hear the conversation. But he was very wrong , very wrong indeed.

The time went on as the class had to begin with Mr. Marston, fortunately, Ben knew when and how to ask the beautiful girl today, if not tomorrow. Ben never was the kind of guy who waited for the last minute, but he had to admit thaqt dances were so stupid, he never had a serious girlfriend before, they were all just like a status he could show off when younger.

After the lesson was finally over Trinity got to work and ignore the whole class like usual. When the bell finally rang She quickly packed up her things and headed out the door, she knew where Melinda had class and headed straight there. She would hopefully get a hold of her before she had to leave to her next class.

Mark sat through class and was barely paying attention mostly thinking about what to have for lunch, English class was mostly a time pass for him to do other things. When the class ended he packed up his things then turned to Ben saying "What a boring class, I mean that was probably the worst one yet."

"It wasn't THAT bad...besides, we have another class, hurry up, I don't want to miss any classes today" He stood up with his History book and a couple of pencils. The male pretty much followed who he believed was Trinity, and he knew what to say now.

Melinda, on the other hand, was heading carelessly towards her next class, she did not have any troubles with calling Ben, in fact, she was glad that she did so. The hallways got filled with all sorts of students, they all had different assignments and they all had their very own classes, which created some confusion as to who was who during this short periods of time.

Trinity saw Melinda and headed after her but got lost in the crowd and and sighed, she would have to find her at lunch. She turned and walked back towards her next class. Walking in she took an empty seat and pulled out her notebook, she didn't understand why Melinda would even call him. She was stuck in her own little world thinking about reasonable ideas.

Mark shrugged and walked out of class following Ben out of the class saying "Hurry up? Don't want to miss any classes? So, we're not even going to be late for any classes today?" He chuckled and notice how Ben looked almost like he was on a mission. Walking quicker he asked "So what's you mission Ben?"

"Mission? This isn't a game, Mark. And we WILL be late if you don't hurry" But that was a filthy lie, Benjamin was mostly looking for Trinity, his persistence was a very possitive trait, but that also made him stubborn. The halls began to get more and more crowded with the younger and older students, but at least the boys were in their way to the right place; unlike Trinity, Melinda made her way to the classroom easily, probably because she didn't mind about the previous call.

"...Do you know a girl named Trinity? She is in our class..." That was a random question, but Benjamin thought that his friend would help him out without making any comments, sarcastic answers and/or silly songs that involved him and the female.

Trinity sat in class then pulled out her phone and texted Melinda, she had a few minutes before class started and she knew that Melinda always had her phone on her. "When I said I'll be fine I ment it, yu didn't have to go and call all of them". She sat back and waited for the response.

Mark looked over at Ben and sighed saying "Not a game? Hmmm so serious it is apparently" he hurried up to keep up with Ben and followed him through the halls. Hearing the question he thought about it saying "Dude she's in two of our classes, but no not personal." He paused and thought for a moment before asking "Why do you ask though?"
