He stood there contemplating if he should even step through the door... He took a deep breath. Jade walked up to him... he turned to her. they awkwardly stared at each other. "Uhh... Sooo..." Jade Scratch the back of her Head. Charly just looked away.

Jade took a deep breath and took the Pack of Chocolate and a rose and offered. "Here! Take it! Don't talk about it!" She closed her eyes. 'why am I getting worked up over this! Guy!? He's a dense idiot... Or could he be playing a character? It's hard to tell through that thick cloud of Mystery!?'

Charly took the kind gifts and gave her his Gifts. A bouquet of flowers and her favorite brand of Chocolate. "Thanks..." She took the Gifts Happily.

Charly smiled as they entered the Classroom. Immediately All the stings of the glares of her classmates hit Jade.

At this point you might think they'll just try to make friends with Charly to you know...

Charly looked at the pile of Of Chocolate, letters, and dead flowers on his arm... It was full.

Charly sighed, 'too much' charly wasn't about to take this. His bag could only fit so much.

Charly left the classroom. Their classmates call out for him to come back! Jade followed quickly. They walked quietly to a more than familiar route. They had Their unspoken rule.

They just walked and walked, they reached the door to council room. "you think you got an Chocolate from them?" Charly sighed and opened the door. "why... would you look at that!" it was empty. "this is better I guess" She said. she watched Charly as he puts the plans on the bulletin board.

"soooo... let's go over it" They look over the planned activities. "for this morning, there would be the a large market Opened in the courtyard wherein students can present their... Skills?" Charly Shrugs I don't know at her.

"Alrighty then... Next we have a Raffle to win various things, winning prize is a limited addition picture of you... Are you serious?" Charly moved his hands around a bit unsure. "Uhh... Okkkk... For noon lunch, Free chocolate at the cafeteria!"

"And to end of the day is the first part of the play, called... The flower princess and her Groom, performed by the drama club, and that is all for day 1"

"You think he can do it?" Charly rolled his eyes. "he's already off schedule by days" he wrote out.

"Give him a break, He's been busy with stuff..." "He's a lazy and idiotic fool" "come there's no need to go that far! He already knows that!"

"Heya Love Birds! Hopefully I didn't interrupt anything important!" Ana walks in with his Valentine's, Heal.

"This is my Valentine's-" "I am not your Valentine! You insufferable fiendddd!" He pushed him away.

"Annoying" Charly and Jade looked at each. "You guys are not allowed in here, only teachers, members and other staff member are entry here"

"Pfffttt! You guys are funny! Let's go to the market!" Ana grabbed both of them. "See yo-" "you are coming with us!" Jade took hold of his hand.

...

"Hohoho! Even teacher are participating! Expect being responsible and keeping the school control their having fun!" Ana pointed out "they'll do their job" Jade said.

"Sure they will..." "Let's got Ms. Baker stall!" [Ms. Baker is the Adviser of Charly's class] Ana Dragged Everyone to get stall.

"Good morning, Teacher Agoth Baker." Everyone bowed. "Ahhh! Good morning Po! What would like? A cupcake? Donuts? Or something else?"

Charly looked at the list of bread on the menu. When strange noises coming from the bushes next to him. 'it be those journalists?' He turned to the bush to look. (Hey)

He turns to Kris and his voice. Charly Waved at him.

(Here. Homemade Chocolate, Me and Riley Made it together, I bet you can tell which one is) He said to him "mine isn't the one That is weird looking!" She said.

Charly reached into his bag and Handed his Gift to them, bittersweet tea for Kris and for Riley, It was her old Ember Necklace.

"Woah! You actually! Found it!? Wait..." Charly had a cheeky smile.

"You..." She had and Angry look. (Is this...?)

"Look if you were expecting 500 out of me then you're wrong!" "Hmph" Charly turned back to the Ms. Baker's stall.

(You know, you should have given his 500, you did lose)

"I'll spite him!" (You're choice I guess) Kris walked to his Advisor's stall.

"Hello Kris! Hi Riley!" Kris Crossed his arms and placed his attention somewhere else as Riley purchase her Bread.

"You know I think, bread is over rated, this doesn't taste like anything" "that's probably because you're Miserable!" Ana said to him. "no it's another reason"

"You hate Bread?" "No I don't..." They turned to Charly for an say. He was to busy staring at Riley as she gives 500 to Mrs. Baker.

His friends were Rightfully worried. "Charly? You ok?" Heal waved his hand in his face. "I think something is Wrong"

(He's a bit mad) Kris said sitting down with them. "why?" He shrugs. "Charly? Are you there?"

Ana began to poke him more and more until he reached the nose. Where he reacted. "Oh good you're back!" Charly had his hand on a deadly grip. "Can you let my hand go!?"

Charly let go of his hand as he returned His gaze to Riley who has making her way to them. "Hey guys!" She sat down.

Kris sat down next to Charly. (We meet again) "have you guys given your Valentine's a Present yet?"

"Most of us don't even have Valentine's" Heal said. "That's Stupid! How about you Jade? Go anything from the someone?"

"Aha... No I haven't... But I'm used to it" She gave an unconvincing smile to them all.

Charly wondered why not. Everyone else don't believe her.

They all had the look. "Charly?" "You kidding! He already has pile back a the classroom that he abandoned!" Heal called.

"By the way what do you do with the Chocolate?" Ana Asked him.

"We give them away" Heal's mind began to Work... "hold on a minute... Kris do you know-"

(The legend of the Mysterious Valentine's Gifter. The legend first a rose 35-36 years ago, wherein a mysterious Person by the name Valentine's gifter would give away Chocolate to businesses and random people around February 14 to the end of the 2nd week of March) Kris the Encyclopedia Told them all.

"Wow! You incredible!" (Thank you)

"So! I have a Theory!- Charly! How old is your Father!"

Charly gave him a strange look. "Listen! I have looking into this for a while and I need Closure! Please!"

"49"

"Great! Now let's assume that That your father hasn't had his birthday yet! So 36 years ago your father would have been 13! Same age as you! And we've seen what he looks like! He looks exactly like Charly and Charly gets a lot of chocolate!!! So that means that Charly's Dad is the-" Heal had a horrible headache... "Ow... Can someone take me to the nurse? I don't feel well..." He limped down on his Chair. "Looks I'll be his saviour!" Ana took his hand.

"Sorry bud... But I think I'll be taking him to nurse"

Chilly popped out of nowhere and took Heal away.

Everyone on the table turned to Charly. He stares back at them Wondering what's wrong.
