Location: Avalon Elite Academy – Student Café, Noon
The café was supposed to be calm today.
Just lunch. A little music. Casual chatter.
But that was before Grayson Lysander walked in—with Nova on his arm, Arielle behind him, and Elina casually linking her fingers with his.
A trio of danger.
And he? The confident storm between them.
Scene: Round Two of Public Affection
Grayson slid into the booth, Nova sitting on his lap like it was normal. Arielle sat beside them, leaning across the table, chin on her hand, smirking.
Elina? Already stealing fries from his tray.
Grayson: "Are y'all here to eat… or distract me from lunch?"
Nova: "Both."
Arielle: "You flirt, we feed."
Elina (smiling): "And maybe stab you a little if you don't behave."
He chuckled. Loudly.
And everyone else in the café?
Still watching. Still whispering.
Scene: The Unthinkable Happens
A new face—a blonde upperclassman with too much lip gloss and too much confidence—strutted to their table.
She twirled her hair. Bit her lip.
"Hi… sorry to interrupt. But, um… you're Grayson, right?"
"Guilty."
"You're kinda… gorgeous. Mind if I get your number?"
The entire café paused.
Nova's eyes narrowed.
Arielle stopped mid-sip.
Elina slowly lowered her fork.
Grayson (smiling): "Sure. Why not?"
He reached for her phone.
Arielle (deadpan): "You did not just—"
Nova (gritting her teeth): "Oh, he did."
Elina: "He's dead."
Scene: Café Chaos Unleashed
Grayson handed the girl her phone back.
"Text me sometime—preferably before I'm murdered."
He turned and—ran.
Nova launched a fork at him.
Arielle vaulted the table.
Elina leapt over the booth.
"COME BACK HERE, PHANTOM!"
The entire café erupted in laughter and gasps.
Grayson dodged between tables, laughing like a madman.
"I WAS JUST BEING POLITE!"
"YOU WERE BEING DEAD!"
Scene: Zeke and Rico – Royal Treatment
In another corner, Zeke and Rico were absolutely thriving.
Each sat with two girls—lap pillows, cheek kisses, soft giggles.
Rico: "You're feeding me grapes? I could cry."
Zeke (getting a shoulder rub): "This is peak masculinity."
One of the girls fed him a cupcake.
He winked. She blushed.
Scene: The Kids Are Done
Caelan, Azra, and Liora sat with their friends—watching it all unfold.
In silence.
Caelan: "Are we… the adults in this situation?"
Azra: "We are."
"We're the parents."
Liora: "I want a refund on my childhood."
Their friends?
Dying of laughter.
Selene: "I see where you get your chaos."
Zaria: "Your dad's got game."
Isla: "This is better than Netflix."
Final Scene: Grayson Escapes (Barely)
He finally made it out the side door.
Disheveled. Breathless.
Grinning.
Behind him, his wives emerged—hair wild, eyes blazing.
Nova (panting): "You're lucky you're cute."
Arielle: "You're lucky we like you."
Elina: "Next time? I'm throwing a chair."
Grayson (smiling): "Noted. Still worth it."
