"Congratulations on your engagement, Dan," Vincenzo handed Danny a bouquet of flowers with a soft smile as we were leaving school for lunch. As much as I wanted to speak up and punch him for even thinking about gifting Danny anything, I wasn't about to lose face for him. Still, I could believe the sheer audacity of this move and the bravery he had to smile as he did this.

"Vincenzo! Thanks!" Danny took the bouquet, not knowing that they'll just be thrown away as soon as he takes his eyes off of them. I just had to distract him from the flowers and replace them with ones that I bought for him. "These are nice! Why aren't you in uniform though? Are you skipping school today?"

"Yeah, I just needed a break today. I'm just getting some exercise anyway," he said. "Plus I have all the credits I need to graduate, so I really just have to show up for the final exams."

"You shouldn't neglect your studying Vincenzo," Danny scolded.
