────────── ·  ·  ·  ·  ♡

It is now near the end of Summer break. Damian, Ewen, Emile, and Bill have all already arrived at the beach. It was a private beach that Becky had rented for the day, so no other people were around. Only the sounds of the waves crashing against the shore and seagulls squawking were heard in the vicinity.

Emile ran through the sand, taking in the light of the sun. "Ohhh, yeah!! This is refreshing!!!"

Damian, Bill and, Ewen were trying to set up the umbrellas.

"EMILE!! Come back here and help us!!!" Ewen shouted at him.

"Ughhh, FINE!!" Emile sluggishly walked over to where the rest of the boys were. "Why couldn't we just hire someone to do this for us??" He complains.

Damian was helping Bill dig the holes to put the umbrellas in by using a shovel. "You don't see me complaining, so shut up and help." He told Emile off. Damian was wearing a white, short-sleeved hoodie along with navy blue swim trunks.

"Y-yes, Master Damian..."

As the boys were setting up the area, in the distance, steps crunching against the sand were being heard.

Bill hears the noise and turns his head to see what it was. Finally, the girls have arrived: Becky, Rayne, and Anya. "Hey there, girls!!!" He greeted them.

"Hii everyone!!!" Becky shouted to them.

The three other boys turned around at the girls. "You guys are finally here!!!" Ewen and Emile yelled.

As soon as Damian and Anya made eye contact, they warmly smile at each other.

Anya was wearing a creme sunhat, along with a floral beach dress that ends just over her knees. "Helloo!!!" She waves at the boys, then immediately rushes up to Damian.

Before he could even react, she gives him a peck on the cheek. "Chu!"

Emile and Ewen dramatically gasp out loud. "WHAATT!!? YOU TWO ARE FINALLY DATING???" "ABOUT DAMN TIME!!!"

Damian blushes from Anya being openly affectionate with him in front of everyone else. Anya, give me a warning next time! His thought causes Anya to giggle.

"Did Becky and Bill not tell you?" Damian asks the two boys.

Ewen shook his head. "No, she didn't! She only said that you both are done with your lovers quarrel~"

"Oooooo, Damian and Anya sitting in a tree. K-I-S-S-I-N-G!!!" Emile teases them.

Damian gave him a blank stare. "Very funny, Emile."

Becky scoffs in disappointment. "You two are so immature! So what if they're in love? I think it's adorableee~"

Emile and Ewen laugh out loud, but neither Anya or Damian took it to mind.

Becky was carrying a basket with food in it, and a beach bag with general supplies. "You guys need help setting things up??"

"That would be very helpful, thanks!" Bill replied.

As Damian, Becky, Bill, Ewen and Emile were finishing setting the area up, Rayne goes up to Anya. "It's nice to see you happy again, Anya." She mentions.

"It feels good to be happy!!" Anya replied. "Oh, and I'm sorry Rain, for leaving you alone in the restaurant... it's just-"

"Don't worry about it." Rayne interrupts her, "I know what really happened. Sorry that I left at such a bad time."

Rain knows?? "How did you find that out?" The two spoke in a low tone so that the others wouldn't hear.

"..." Rayne quickly tried to think of an excuse. "When I left, there was a waiter knocked out. When he woke up, he told me that two men wearing all black came in. I figured the rest out since I have extreme intelligence."

"Oh, that makes sense," Anya said. "I hope they don't come back."

Rayne gave her a serious expression. "They will, Anya. Don't be so naive." She warns her, not knowing how much she can say. Rayne puts her hand on Anya's shoulder, and leans toward her ear, whispering, "Make sure to keep your boyfriend safe."

Her whisper sends a chill down Anya's spine. "M-mhm!"

Rayne steps back, giving a wide grin. "HOO BOY!! I hope the water is warm today, let me go check!!!" She shouted and sprinted towards the sea.

"Amazing idea, Rayne!!! Tell me if it's warm or not!!" Emile said, blushing lightly.

Anya watched as she dashed away, a look of concern etched across her face. What do I need to keep Sy-on boy safe from?

"ANYA!!" Becky's sudden yell causes Anya to flinch. "Come here, I need some help!"

"C-coming!!!" Anya shook the negative thoughts from her head and ran over to Becky.

·  ·  ·  · ──────────── ·  ·  ·  ·

The area was finally set up, and everyone was beginning to start the beach day. The boys have already taken off their shirts/hoodies, having their swim trunks remain.

"Wow, Lord Damian!! You've got the body of a model!!!" Emile and Ewen complimented him.

Damian awkwardly rubbed the back of his head. "Bill is right there, you know?"

Bill was stretching his arms after doing so much labor. He still had abs and muscles for days. "Haha!! I do work out every day, five times at least!!"

Damian squints at him, feeling a bit envious. How the heck can he work out five times a day???

Becky had already taken off her beach dress, she had a purple bikini underneath. The sight of Bill with his shirt off makes her squeal internally. He looks so hottt!! KYAAAA!!! Admiration glimmered in her eyes. I have to compliment him so he falls in love with me, exactly like in Berlint in Love!!!

"Oh my, Bill, you work out five times a day?? You're sooo strong and dedicated~" She tried to flirt.

"That I am! Thank you, Blackbell!!!" Bill smiles at her.

Damian couldn't help but cringe at her terrible effort at flirting.

Rayne takes off her clothes, revealing her bikini underneath. The color was black, and the design was a bit revealing. Her bust size was a D-cup.

Emile and Ewen's faces turn bright red from the sight of her. "Y-you look s-so GOOD, R-Rayne!!!" They said, trying to hold back their nose bleeds.

"Hmm." Rayne flipped her long, light-blue hair in the wind.

Ewen and Emile nudge Damian. "Isn't she so hot!?" They whisper to him.

However, Damian was not paying attention. "Where did Anya go?" He wasn't phased by Rayne's looks.

The two boys' faces immediately turn blank. Lord Damian only cares about Anya...

Rayne realizes Damian's lack of attention to her body, and grins in delight.

Anya returns with her beach dress already off. "Look, Sy-on! I found a pretty seashell!!!"

Damian's attention was caught as soon as he heard Anya's voice, and he quickly turned his head towards her. She was wearing a white bikini adorned with short ruffles, perfectly complementing her delicate features. Her chest size was small, but Damian liked it that way. His eyes couldn't help but wander as he gaze at her stunning figure.

Anya shows him the seashell she found. "Look!" She had a wide smile on her face.

Without saying a word, Damian instantly grabbed his short-sleeved hoodie and puts it on her. "Um, it's cold so... you need to wear this." He didn't want the other boys to see her like this.

Becky laughed at his overreaction. "Seriously, Damian??? It's a bikini, calm down!"

"S-SHUT UP!! I-I am calm!" Damian shouted at Becky.

Anya pouted. "No! It's too hot!!!" She took off the hoodie.

Damian knew he had to give in. Why did everyone else have to join us at the beach...

Emile and Ewen grabbed the water guns. "Last one in the water has to sing Anya's version of 'Let It Go!'!!!" Emile told Ewen.

"YOU'RE ON!!!" The two boys began to dash down the shore.

"HOLD IT YOU TWO!!!" Becky told them off, their feet skidding to a stop.

They grunt, "WHAT!?!?"

Becky went over to her beach bag and pulled out some sunscreen lotions. "You need sunscreen first!"

Ewen and Emile walked back to the group, feeling grumpy that Becky was ordering them around. "UGHH, fine MOM!" They said, taking one of the bottles.

Becky walked over to Anya, handing her a sunscreen bottle as well. "You too, Anya! I don't want you to get burned now."

"Oki-doki!" Anya took the lotion from her hands.

Damian then snatches it from Anya's hands. "You will need someone to get your back." And I don't want anyone else touching you.

Anya's cheeks blush from his overprotectiveness. "O-okay!"

Damian rubbed the sunscreen on Anya's back and shoulders, gently. His entire body was bright red from head to toe, as he felt her entire body.

"Aaaah~ That feels so gooddd." Anya had her eyes shut, enjoying the sensation. It felt like a relaxing massage.

Damian blushes more from her satisfied sounds. "Quit making so much noise like that!" He told her.

Bill and Becky were doing each other's sunscreen. Meanwhile, Ewen and Emile were fighting over who got to put the sunscreen on Rayne, as she stood there awkwardly. They were fighting for so long that Becky ended up having to be the one who does it.

·  ·  ·

Everyone was now finished putting on their sunscreen.

Ewen and Emile pick back up their water guns again. "Here we go!!! You guys coming with us?" They ask everyone else.

Becky was lying down on her beach towel on her stomach. "I will later. Right now, I want to get a cute summer tan!" She put on her sunglasses, with her chin resting on her folded arms.

"I will keep Becky company," Bill spoke. "I also want to read this book I found in my Dad's nightstand!" He took out the Bible.

"Cool! Catch you guys in the waves!!!" Emile and Ewen both ran right into the sea, and began to swim around.

Anya put down her sunhat on her beach towel. "I'm coming too!!" She shouted.

Before going off to the ocean, Damian speaks to her. "Are your horn things gonna be fine in the water?" He refers to her hair ornaments.

Anya nods. "Of course! I even shower with them on!!"

They're THAT waterproof..? Damian rhetorically thought.

The couple then went on to join Emile and Ewen in the ocean.

Anya yelps as soon as her torso reaches the water. "EEK! IT'S COLD!!!" She shivers her timbers.

Damian snickers at her reaction. "Nah, you'll get used to it." He was also cold but didn't want to seem weak.

Eventually, they get used to the water and were able to enjoy swimming around.

Anya began to splash the water everywhere. "SPLISH, SPLASH!!!"

Something then grabs onto Anya's foot. "WAH!" She freaks out, "SOMETHING'S CAUGHT MY LEG– A SHARK!!!"

Before anyone could react, Rayne then pops up from under the water. She was wearing blue goggles. Rayne playfully snickers, "Got you!"

"Rain!!!" Anya gasps, "Ooh! You've got goggles!!"

"I do. I've brought some for you two as well." Rayne handed Damian and Anya a pair of goggles.

"YAY!! Thank you, Rain!!!" Anya said. She takes the goggles and puts them on her head. Her goggles were pink.

Damian took the goggles as well. "You almost scared Anya to death." He mocked, putting on the goggles. His goggles were green.

"I wasn't THAT scared! I'm a brave girl!!!" Anya tries to defend herself.

"Pft, sure you are."

The three of them then dive under the water, amazed by the beautiful tropical fish they saw as they swam deeper.

They continued to swim along for some time. Both Damian and Anya swam next to each other, exploring the ocean. Meanwhile, Rayne swam further behind to give them space.

Anya eagerly shows Damian a sand dollar she found on the ground. He found it endearing how excited she was to adventure in the sea.

Damian and Anya then gaze at each other for a moment. Their hair flowed around in the water, surrounding them with an aquatic scenery.

I don't know how much longer I can hold my breath. Damian told Anya through his thoughts.

Anya gives her iconic smug face at Damian, causing him to blush. She swims up to him, and presses her lips onto his, kissing him under the water.

Damian kisses Anya back, enjoying the time they were spending together.

Just as the two kissed, Anya puffs air straight into Damian's mouth, catching him completely off guard.

Damian's eyes shot wide open, realizing that Anya has fooled him. He jolts away immediately and quickly swims back up to the surface.

Anya follows along with him. They both are gasping for air, floating along with the waves.

After catching his breath, he then speaks, "I didn't need air THAT way!!" He coughs.

Anya giggles. "But you needed to breath, so I gave you some air!" She says in a teasing manner.

Damian pinches her nose, still softly smiling as they continued to joke around. "Dummy, that's not how it works!"

"Aahhh!!!" Anya yelped, not being able to stop herself from laughing.

He chuckled, finding the girl too cute to resist. "What if I did that to you, huh?" He grabs onto Anya's shoulders and leaned his head forward, trying to kiss her.

But Anya tries to escape his grasp. "NOO!!" She laughs, whirling her head to avoid the kiss. "I was only kiddinggg!!!"

They kept on flirting and joking around.

Rayne pops her head up from near them, not close enough to where they would notice. She observes the couple, watching how well Damian and Anya connected. They were like two peas in a pod.

After their playful banter, they continued to swim around in the sea. Ewen and Emile were now body surfing on the waves. The waves were gradually becoming bigger.

"Guys check this out!!" Ewen shouted out loud, as he body-surfed on the waves. "HAHA! This is so much fun!!!"

Anya gasped at the sight of Ewen. "I wanna try that!!!"

"Sure!" Ewen handed Anya his bodyboard.

Another big wave approaches and Anya positions herself. However, she hadn't realized how big this wave would be.

"THAT'S A HUGE BITCH!!" Emile shouted, as everyone else stared up at the incoming wave.

The wave crashes onto them all, but Ewen, Emile, Damian, and Rayne were able to quickly recover back up.

"WOAH! THAT WAS AWESOME!!!" Emile shouted. There was seaweed stuck in between his hair, and Ewen laughs out loud at him.

Damian wipes the water off his face. That wave was pretty big. Is Anya all right? He scanned around the ocean for any signs of the pink-haired girl.

Anya was thrown straight down into the sea. Her tiny, weak body wasn't able to withstand the pressure of the wave. She manages to swim back up to the top, catching her breath.

"Ow! That one hurt..." She mutters to herself. It feels more breezy. She thought, her chest area feeling lighter.

Anya then looks down at her bikini top and realizes that it was loose from the impact of the wave. The tie in the back of the bikini became undone.

"AH!" Right before it was about to completely slip off, Anya presses it against her chest, frantically checking around. Where is Rain?? I need help tying my bikini again!!! But Rayne was nowhere in sight, causing Anya to panic more.

"Anya!" Damian finds her in the distance and swam to where she was. "Is something wrong!?" He asked, noticing she seemed panicky.

Anya's face flushed with mortification as she struggled to keep her bikini top in place. "I can't find Rain, and my bikini got untied!" She said, her voice wavering.

Damian's eyes flickered nervously, not expecting something like that to happen. "I don't see Rayne either!" He said, feeling flustered.

Anya turned towards him, and as she did, her bikini straps slid down her arms, revealing more skin. "C-can you tie it for me?" She pleaded.

Damian's heart raced to see her struggling to hide her small breast. "Uhhh, c-can't you do it yourself??"

Anya shook her head, her cheeks flushed. "I can't reach back there! Please just do it for me, Sy-on!!!!"

"F-fine!!" Damian awkwardly swam behind Anya to tie her bikini. He could feel his heart pounding in his chest. Damian tried his best to keep his eyes averted from Anya's body, feeling flustered by the intimate nature of the task. "There, it's done." He said, relieved.

Anya turned back around, her face red from embarrassment. "Thanks, Sy-on boy! I don't know what I would have done without you." She said gratefully.

Damian could feel his cheeks burning as he tried to avoid making eye contact. "Y-yeah, just make sure it doesn't become undone again." I wish I could've seen them though... He thought to himself, lewdly fantasizing.

"EEEP!!" Anya covered her mouth after hearing his thoughts, her face blushing profusely.

Damian had completely forgotten that she could read minds and becomes even more flustered. "S-SORRY! THAT IS NOT WHAT I MEANT!"

Anya splashes water onto his face. "Y-YOU'RE SUCH A PERVERT, SY-ON BOY!!!!!" She squealed. The thought of him doing anything to her bra made her feel flustered.

Damian tries to block the salty water using his arm. "H-HEY, I SAID SORRY!!!"

After their short spat, the two were completely red and quiet from the moment.

"I think that's enough ocean for now..." Damian broke the awkward silence.

"Y-yup..."

·  ·  ·  · ──────────── ·  ·  ·  ·

As they swam back to the shore, Damian face palms himself, upset by allowing his perverted thoughts to take over his mind.

Anya couldn't help but notice how bad Damian felt. She went ahead to grab his hand, trying to reassure him. "I-It's okay, Sy-on boy."

Damian looked over at her, still feeling humiliated.

Anya continued, "I wouldn't have minded if you had seen..." She blushes, innocently.

Damian coughed and looked away, trying to compose himself. "D-don't say stuff like that so casually!!!" He could feel the heat overwhelming his body.

"Hmph!" Anya turned her head away as well, pouting. "You're the one who wanted to see my boobies..." She mumbles, with her cheeks a shade of bright pink.

"ANYA, PLEASE JUST SHUSH ALREADY!!!"

As they reached the shore, Ewen and Emile were already lounging on the sand, alongside Bill and Becky, enjoying the warm sun. Becky had fallen asleep, with her sunglasses still on.

"Hoho, so the two love birds have returned~" Emile teased the couple.

Damian rolled his eyes. He did not care too much about Emile teasing him and Anya, but it was still annoying.

Rayne was nowhere to be seen. "Eh? Where's Rain??" Anya asked, scanning the beach.

"Huh, I don't know. I thought she was with you guys." Ewen replied, looking around as well.

Just then, they heard a loud laugh and turned to find Rayne emerging from the water, shaking her head and laughing. "You guys missed it! That was the biggest wave I've ever rid on!" She exclaimed, grinning from ear to ear. Rayne's skin glistening against the sun, which makes Emile blush.

"So, that's where my board went!" Ewen said as Rayne gave him back the bodyboard.

Anya stared at Rayne as she interacted with everyone. Her smile doesn't seem like before. She thought to herself. Rain seems... happy! Anya too was smiling by this observation.

As the group settled down on the beach, Damian couldn't help but steal glances at Anya, feeling a newfound sense of closeness to her after their little mishap in the ocean.

Just then they heard a melody in the distance. A melody from an ice cream truck driving near by.

Emile and Anya's faces both light up, "ICE CREAM!!!" They both shouted as they ran towards the side of the road. As they did, the ice cream truck slows down for them.

Rayne, Damian, Ewen, and Bill decide to also follow along. Becky was still asleep.

"Hello there young fellows! What will it be?" The ice cream truck driver asked the group.

"Ooohh!!" Both Anya and Emile drooled from their mouths while deciding what they wanted. "Give me one cookies and cream ice cream, with extra Oreo crumbs as the topping!!" Emile ordered.

"I want vanilla with rainbow sprinkles!!!" Anya excitedly exclaimed.

"I'll have a strawberry ice cream cone, please!" Bill asked. "Oh, and a chocolate ice cream cone!" I believe that is what Becky likes.

"A strawberry ice cream cone sounds good! I'll take one too!" Ewen ordered.

The ice cream man nodded his head along. "Mhm, mhm." He looked over to Rayne and Damian. "And you two youngsters?"

"Oh, I guess I'll just have chocolate." Damian replied.

Rayne simply spoke, "Coconut."

"Coming right up!" The ice cream man said, before making the ice creams for the group.

After a few moments, they all receive their cones. "You young kids enjoy now!" The ice cream man said, driving off.

The group went off to walk back to the beach, licking and enjoying their ice creams as they walked.

Damian and Anya were walking beside each other, behind the rest of the group.

Anya glances over to Damian, who was eating his ice cream. She smirks, and boops his cheek with her ice cream.

Damian gave her a confused expression. "What was that for!?"

"For this." Anya then went up to lick his check. "Teehee~" She give him a wink.

His heart skips a beat. "Damn, you're too cute." He blushed.

Anya giggles at his compliment. "OH! Let me try some of your ice cream!" She went to take a lick from Damian's ice cream. "Mmmm!!"

Damian gazes at her for a moment, watching as she ate her ice cream. "Hm, let me try some of yours then."

Right when Anya licked her ice cream with her tongue, Damian grabbed the side of Anya's face and pulled her in to kiss her.

"MMFH!" Anya was taken aback, not expecting him to try some of her ice cream this way.

Damian pulled away, smirking right at her. "Not bad. I think mine is better though." He teases the girl.

"W-waaahh!!" Anya's face was completely red. "D-D-Damian!!! That was too much!!!!"

Damian snickered at her reaction, finding it cute. "You liked it though, didn't you?"

Anya frowned up to him, her eyes sparkling. "J-just a little..."

Damian's grin widened, and leaned back to her, whispering, "Then... want me to do it again?"

"HEY, QUIT FLIRTING SO HARD YOU TWO!!!" Ewen and Emile shouted.

Both Anya and Damian whirled their heads back in front to where the rest of the group was. They were completely submerged in their own little world.

They quickly pull away from each other, blushing profusely from feeling mortified.

Ewen scoffs, "You both keep gluing your lips onto each other!"

"Keep it in your pants!!!" Emile added.

"How about you two stop staring at us then you creeps!" Damian told them off.

"C-creepers!!!" Anya chimed in along with Damian.

Rayne and Bill found their banter to be funny and began to laugh. Yes, even Rayne was beginning to feel more relaxed around the group herself.

The group reaches back to where Becky is, who was awake by now, and was given a chocolate ice cream from Bill (which she internally screams in joy afterward).

Throughout the day, everyone did activities together: finding sea shells, building sand castles, playing beach games such as red light green light and volleyball, and many other activities.

·  ·  ·  · ──────────── ·  ·  ·  ·

The sun was beginning to set now, casting an orange ambience in the sky.

Damian and Anya were sitting alone together on the sand in front of the ocean, while the rest of the group were setting up the barbecue. Besides Emile, who had his body buried in the sand, after the group had buried him.

The waves flowed in gently across their feet. The couple was both drawing on the sand, playing tic tac toe.

Anya draws a line across, "I win!!!"

Not fair, you can read my mind! Damian playfully rolled his eyes, smiling.

Anya mischievously chuckles, as the two went back to watch the sunset. Her eyes sparkle at the beautiful sight of colors in the sky. "The sun is so pretty like this!!"

"Yeah, it is pretty." Damian looked over to her again. "...just like you." His cheeks redden, feeling cheesy.

"Ehe, you too!" Anya blushes.

Rayne had been staring at the two from a distance, watching the way they talked with each other.

She gives a genuine smile, seeing how happy they are together.

Anya scoots closer to Damian, and rests her head on his shoulder, causing his heart to beat faster. "I love being alone together." She continued to smile.

"Me too," Damian replied. "I just want to be with you forever." He was referring to something more specific, but Anya doesn't catch on.

Anya looked up to Damian, their faces close by each other. "I love it when we kiss and touch so much, heheh~"

Damian laughed softly from her admiration. "You're acting like when you were drunk."

Anya blushes a bit from remembering that day. "A-ah!" She lifts her head back up, covering her face from humiliation. "Don't remind me!!!"

Damian bursts out laughing from her acting so shy. He grabbed Anya's hands and moved them away to reveal her beet-red face. "You're so cute when you get like this." He flirted.

Anya blushes harder, seeing how handsome Damian looked with his hair flowing slightly in the soft wind. She squeezes her eyes shut, and puckers up her lips, waiting for Damian to kiss her.

With no hesitation, Damian started to lean in.

"GUYS!" Emile shouted from being buried in the sand, causing Anya and Damian to stop their momentum once again. "A little help, please? I need to use the bathroom!!"

"SHHH! Leave them alone, they're having a romantic moment!!" Becky told him off.

"Yeah, stop bothering them, Emile!!!" Ewen said.

"I NEED TO PEE THOUGH!!!" Emile continued to whine.

Damian and Anya both sigh. "Maybe it's time we go and help with the barbecue."

Anya nodded in agreement. They both got up and walked back to where the rest of the group was.

·  ·  ·  · ──────────── ·  ·  ·  ·

The sun has now completely set, and the bright stars were now out. Since they were out on the beach, more stars appeared. The group had made a fire pit, along with the barbecue. They cooked steak, sausages, screw sticks, salmon, and some vegetables.

They all sat around the fire, on some foldable chairs, eating their food and chatting.

"I still can't believe that we are going into our LAST year of school!" Emile said, taking another bite of his sausage.

Becky nodded. "Soon we will all be adults, isn't that crazy!!? It felt like just yesterday we were all six."

Anya grunted. "Ughhh, I don't want to be an adult though! I still have so much to live for!"

Damian nudged Anya. "At least soon you'll be able to buy your own candy and peanuts."

Anya's mood then completely changes. "That's true!! No more of Papa and Mama telling me not to eat candy before dinner!!!" She snickers.

"I'm just glad we all are good friends now!" Ewen added. "Especially now that Damian likes us again!"

Bill agrees, "Everything has been so much more fun hanging out altogether!"

"You all are so sentimental." Damian spoke.

"Do you not like being friends with everyone, Damian??" Bill asked him, wondering what his thoughts were.

Damian eyes glance away. "Nah. I mean, I enjoy being friends... it's been a lot of fun." He said. "And... uh, sorry for the way I acted to you guys." His cheeks were slightly pink as he apologized for pushing them away after the ballroom dance.

Ewen and Emile's eyes glisten from his gratitude. "BOSS MAN IS SO COOL!!!"

"I-It's not that of a big deal!!" Damian said, embarrassed.

"Aww, Damian it's fine!" Becky said, appreciating the fact he acknowledges his misjudgments. "See? You can be sentimental too." She joked.

"Don't make me take my apology back!" Damian joked as well.

Everyone else felt a wave of bliss from the heartfelt moment.

Anya couldn't help but chuckle by Damian's apology. Sy-on boy can be really cute too when he's being honest. Heheh!!

"Let's keep being good friends like this even after high school!" Emile said.

Becky immediately stood up with her glass in hand. "Yes, I second that! How about a toast to seal it??"

Everyone else then stood up, following Becky, as they held their glasses up, preparing to toast.

They all turn to look at Rayne, who was still sitting down, not moving. She stared up at them, hesitating. Her expression seemed uncertain.

Bill noticed her hesitation and encourages her to join them. "Come on, Rayne. Join us!"

Seeing the smiles on every one of their faces, makes Rayne feel more at ease, especially Damian and Anya's. She gives a warm smile, as she stood up with her glass.

"Here's to the last year of high school together!!!" Becky chanted.

Everyone clinked their glasses together, and chanted, "CHEERS!!!" They all promised to stick together throughout their last year of high school, even after graduation. Thus, concluding their Summer break and the start of their Senior year.
