The Student Council President and Chocolate
While Adam and Felix writhed in pain, Sebastian came home.
"Oh. I see what's happening here." [Sebastian]
He simply walked over them, disregarding their pain.
"Aghah!" [Adam]
He tried to speak out, but he couldn't form a single word.
("Are you serious?!") [Adam]
Slowly, everyone started to arrive home. At first Vivian was surprised and concerned, but everyone was calmed down by Sebastian.
"...And that's how it is." [Sebastian]
"I… see. If that's the case then…" [Vivian]
She shot a thumbs up at the two.
"Good luck!" [Vivian]
The pain became even worse when Kilo tread her paws on them.
"Urgh!" [Adam]
"Oof!" [Felix]
"Oink!" [Kilo]
By the time it was over, it was already 9 pm.
"Haah… Haah…" [Adam] [Felix]
"Do you want dinner?" [Vivian]
She came by with two plates of food.
"Sorry, I'll pass…" [Felix]
"I'm too tired to eat…" [Adam]
Upon finishing their sentence, they passed out.

Adam was woken up by morning. Surprisingly, he was in bed instead of the floor. Noticing the time, he got out of bed.
"Morning." [Adam]
"Good morning." [Felix]
Out of sheer coincidence, the two exited their rooms at the same time. Heading downstairs, they met Sebastian.
"Looks like you're awake. How do you feel?" [Sebastian]
"Not that different." [Adam]
"Same." [Felix]
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
After eating breakfast, they went to school as per usual.
("Is it me, or is everyone on edge?") [Adam]
He sat at his desk, observing his fellow students. They were fidgeting in their seats, especially the boys.
"Hey, Felix." [Adam]
"Yeah?" [Felix]
"Is there something going on today?" [Adam]
"Hm… not sure." [Felix]
Class continued as it normally would, minus the random training times. During break, all the boys put their desks together.
"So… any luck?" [Orion]
"None here…" [Brandon]
"It's not too late guys, there's still half a school day left." [Alex]
Unsure as to what was happening, Adam chimed in.
"What are you guys talking about?" [Adam]
They looked at him with confused looks.
"We're talking about 'that' you know?" [Alex]
"That?" [Adam]
As soon as he asked, he felt a tap on his shoulder. Turning around, he realized it was Tiffany.
"Huh? Tiffany?" [Adam]
Tiffany held her hands behind her back, nervously glancing around.
"I… um… T-this is for you!" [Tiffany]
She handed him a small decorated bag and bolted out of the room.
"What the…" [Adam]
"NOOOO!!!" [Orion]
He held his head and screamed out of despair.
"Of all people!" [Alex]
"You… You have betrayed our brotherhood!" [Brandon]
The boys of the class glared at him, full of animosity.
"What are you…" [Adam]
They surrounded him, grabbing his arms.
"Hng!" [Boy A]
"Hrah!" [Boy B]
Adam felt them exerting some force on his arms, but he wouldn't budge.
("What the hell are they doing?") [Adam]
He pulled his arms away and two of the students fell.
"Dude! You didn't have to be so rough!" [Alex]
"What? I didn't think they would fall from just that much!" [Adam]
"Are you calling us weak?!" [Orion]
"You picking a fight with us?!" [Brandon]
"No! I'm not! Why are you guys ganging up on me anyway?!" [Adam]
Just then, Felix came through the crowd.
"Alright, keep it down. I'm sure it was all an accident." [Felix]
The crowd settled down, listening to his words.
"It still doesn't change the fact he got chocolate!" [Brandon]
The crowd erupted once more, sending everyone into a frenzy.
("Chocolate?") [Adam]
He looked down at his hand, realizing the bag he was given was full of chocolate.
"What does chocolate have to do with anything?" [Adam]
"Everything!" [Class]
"O… okay…" [Adam]
"Guys, just chill. I don't think Adam knows what's going on." [Felix]
The class went silent, waiting on Felix.
"Adam, do you know what day it is." [Felix]
"...Tuesday?" [Adam]
"Wrong." [Felix]
"Then what day is it?" [Adam]
"First of all, it's Wednesday." [Felix]
"And?" [Adam]
"And secondly… It's valentine's day." [Felix]
The dots connected, Adam finally understood what was happening. He looked at the bag of chocolate and looked at the faces around him. They were filled with jealousy and hate at the same time.
("I need to escape!") [Adam]
Pushing his way out of the crowd, he made it to the window.
"Get him! He's getting away!" [Brandon]
He leapt out of the window, preparing for impact.
"He jumped?! It's the fourth floor!" [Alex]
("I… should've thought about how I was supposed to stick the landing…") [Adam]
He hit the ground and rolled.
("It… didn't hurt?") [Adam]
He turned around, taunting at the students by the window.
"Can't touch this!" [Adam]
He angered them, causing them to crawl out of the window.
("Oh crap.") [Adam]
He began to run, but someone stood in his way.
"Where do you think you're going?" [???]
A girl stood there with a red band on her sleeve. She stared at him with vibrant purple eyes and long violet hair. Adam noticed a small butterfly pin on the corner of her head.
"Excuse me… Can I get through here?" [Adam]
"No." [Long Haired Girl]
"Can I ask why?" [Adam]
She held out a hand on the side. Immediately, another student came by and handed her a clipboard. Flipping through it, she read it aloud.
"Destruction of school property. Violence against peers and teachers. Oh, even immoral activities." [Long Haired Girl]
("What is she talking about?") [Adam]
Knowing that the students behind him were catching up, he was becoming panicked.
"I don't know what I did for you to get in my way, but can we do this later? I apologize for whatever I did, I really need to go." [Adam]
His classmates were quickly approaching, sweat beads began to drip from his face.
"Don't worry, they won't interfere." [Long Haired Girl]
"What?" [Adam]
The students chasing him froze. Fear shown on their faces, causing them to step away.
("Why are they…") [Adam]
"Nice to meet you Adam. I'm Jelia Corus, the student council president." [Jelia]
"Huh? Oh, uh… Nice to meet you!" [Adam]
He titled his head forward, extending a small greeting.
"Lift your head." [Jelia]
Following her command he stood up straight.
"What business do you have with me?" [Adam]
"It's simple, what I read earlier are your charges." [Jelia]
"My… charges?" [Adam]
"Bad things you have done. Because you are a bad student, I must punish you." [Jelia]
"Wait, I think there's been a misunder-" [Adam]
"Your punishment will be simple." [Jelia]
She cut him off, not allowing him to speak.
"Let me finish my sente-" [Adam]
"As the student council president, I hand down your punishment. You will become my slave." [Jelia]
"...What?!" [Adam]
