Right after the tea party, Glory left the dorm with the boys cleaning up the table but felt awkward with each other. While the others are cleaning up, Riddle lets out a sigh and gets up from his seat.

"Everyone, may I discussed you into my room privately please?" He announced as everyone paused and spun to their dorm leader whose grey eyes gleamed with rage. The boys stood there froze as they have a gut feeling of what's going to happen.

"Erm...E-Everyone?.." Deuce stuttered trying be brave.

"Everyone such as Ace, Deuce, Cater, and Trey." Riddle informed before furrowing his brows.

"It's really important." He solemnly reminded them.

"Sh#t..." Ace cursed under his breath as he mentally scolds himself for admitting his growing feelings for Glory out loud just now.

"Y...Yes, dorm leader..." Deuce muttered complying to him obediently as he tries to act calm, but the sweat dripping from his left cheek gave it away. Cater sighed and scratched the back of his head with a grimace and Trey avert his eyes feeling nervous about facing Riddle. Unbeknownst to them, Che'nya covers his amused smile with his hand and vanished into thin air.

Once they meet up at his room, all of them seat awkwardly until Riddle lets out a sigh and glance at the dorm members.

"I know you're wondering why your here, and I'm just going to get straight to the point." Riddle sternly said as he darts his gaze at the A-Deuce duo making them flinched.

"You two should wise to not argue in public at the rose garden; especially when you're fighting over a certain ravenette." Riddle sternly implied shocking both Ace and Deuce.

"Hah!?" Ace flabbergasted.

"Wait, you knew...?!" Deuce asked.

"I did asked that, didn't I? I overheard your loud conversation far from the rose bushes." Riddle informed with a blunt tone.

"They do huh?" Trey mumbled with a hint of jealousy in his tone.

"Hehe. It's painfully obvious." Cater chuckled while masking his envy through his signature cheery smile, but Ace snorts and cross his arms.

"Yeah right! As if I had feelings for her." He rebuffed.

"Don't bluff. You even admit that you have fallen for Glory-san back in Riddle's office!" Deuce shouted and turns back to Ace.

"And you got mad at me for giving Glory-san a gift at the Main Street cuz you're jealous!" He chided. Ace grimace and whips his head back to the bluenette.

"I'm not jealous! How many times?!" He snapped.

"You said it, but from your face and tone says otherwise." Trey wisely commented.

"Wow. I wonder how that happened, I wonder?" Cater sarcastically asked.

"Matter of fact, I highly doubt that a girl would go out with Ace since he's a jerk from time to time." He remarked irking Ace and turns his head to the ginger.

"And who the hell would want a playboy that looks at his phone all the time as a boyfriend?" Ace curtly asked. His words froze the ginger as doubt slowly swirls in his mind. Cater gritted his teeth and opens his mouth to fire back until Riddle cuts in.

"Everyone quiet!" Riddle bellowed as he slams his fist to the desk flinching everyone in the room. Soon the dorm leader turns back and folds his arms.

"More importantly, we can't keep doing this..." He muttered while laying his hand on his temple. Trey grimaced and clenched his hands.

"Well you're right about that..." Trey stated.

"Eeh!?" Deuce uttered with shock faces as the vice dorm leader stood gripping his fists tightly.

"Even though we're childhood friends, I'm afraid I can't hold back either." He muttered as Trey glance at Riddle with a serious look.

"Sorry Riddle, but I can't let you win." Trey proclaimed. Riddle furrowed his brows and slams his hands against the desk.

"Fair enough." He curtly said as Riddle roses from his chair.

"While we both agreed to be patient with Gloriane, but now that is out doors..."

Soon the dorm leader shoots a dead serious gaze at his childhood friend with grey orbs gleam with envy.

"Because I won't lose either." Riddle affirmed.

"Then it's settled." Trey casually stated with a blank look as a raging spark ignites between two men. Ace soon lets out a snort.

"You guys are morons." He sneered irking both Riddle and Trey as Ace folds his arms.

"Deuce and I known Glor since the beginning. Before we came here, we were on the verge getting ourselves expelled. I didn't give a damn at first, but..." Soon Ace blushed and cringed from the memory of him and Deuce being bitch slapped by Glory at the forest before gripping his fists against his arms and turns back to them.

"She definitely saved our butts back there and I'm glad that she did..." He explained before unfolding his arms and strokes his neck while blushing a little.

"Even if people in our school see her as Gothel's reincarnation, I don't care. I still see her as friend." Ace said before averting his eyes while blushing.

"...Friend that I...grew to..." Ace tried to say the words, but paused as he gritted his teeth and ruffles his orange hair.

"Ughhh! I hate saying cheesy things like this!" He rants while ruffling his hair.

"Ace is right." Deuce agreed entering the conversation as everyone whipped their heads subtly to the bluenette where he clenched his fists while staring intently at them.

"Glory-san is the most intimidating girl I ever met, but she's not a bad person. Even though she has her flaws, she isn't afraid me." Deuce stated before reminiscing his memory of her reassurance and kindness she showered him back in the Main Street. Then he continue on with his words.

"I was once a delinquent who loves causing trouble and made my mom cried. I only came to school to redeem myself after seeing my mom crying while talking to my grandmother." He explained before deuce formed a warm smile.

"But I also have support from the friends I made, including Glory-san." He said before averting his eyes.

"I thought of her as a friend at first, but as months goes by...I don't see as a friend no more..." He stated remembering how Glory told them about her past and her ex boyfriend through his memories before clenching his fists and glance back at them.

"She's been through a lot as a child and she doesn't deserve this pain that she's enduring." Deuce said.

"I don't care if people see her as Gothel's reincarnation. Glory-san has her flaws, but she's also a bright, brave, strong, smart, and kind girl, who accepts me for who I am." Deuce expressed before smiling gently again.

"For that, I'm glad to have her in my life because she inspired me more to be a good person." He expressed fondly before shooting a stern gaze.

"Sorry Dorm leader and Trey-senpai, but I'm not holding back; because I'm going to give everything I got to show Glory-san that I can be just as strong as her." Deuce declared making Ace gritted his teeth.

"Oi! Stop acting high and mighty!" He bellowed.

"How about you stop being so in denial and admit your feelings?~"

Soon the purple cat pops out of nowhere perking a cheeky smile frightening everyone in the room.

"Che'nya~ you know I can't keep up like this~." Cater whined.

"Che'nya, how long have you've been in my room?!" Riddle yelps.

"I thought you left?" Trey asks.

"And miss out all the love pentagon that is spilled in this room? I don't think so~." He sang merrily.

"Always snooping around do you?" Ace asks sarcastically with a frown.

"Don't tell me you've been eavesdropping our conversation." Deuce grumbles with a facepalm.

"If you think I do, then I do. If you think I don't, then I don't." Che'nya stated with a kittish smile.

"Enough of this, Che'nya. What do you want?" Riddle demands.

"What's that? You want me to spill it out for you, lovebirds? I'll spill it out." He nonchalantly stated as Che'nya strolls to the boys with a grin. Once he's close, he kept his smile, but open his gold eyes filled with dangerous threat.

"All of you better not break her." He warns them with a deadly tone that sends shivers down from their spines before backing away while smiling merrily.

"Good luck on winning her over, all of you." He reassured as the jolly cat marvels his signature song before vanishing into thin air.

"Such a sneaky cat..." Deuce sighed. Cater stayed silent as Ace's words resonating him. Soon, he clenched his fists and furrows his brows with Trey noticing his face.

"Cater?" Trey called him out as he turns around.

"I gotta go..." He mumbled as Cater storms off shocking Deuce.

"Eeh? Cater-senpai!" Deuce shouts, but it was too late as the third year slams the door shut.

"Let him. He needs his time alone." Trey reassured.

"Indeed." Riddle chimed as he glance back at the boys.

"And since Trey and I agreed to not hold back, both of you will do the same, right?" He sternly reminded them with grey orbs filled with envy as Deuce and Ace furrowed their brows.

"Hai." Deuce firmly replied with Ace huffing and whipping his head.

"Don't get your hopes up crybaby Deuce." He snorts as Ace turns his back and storms off irking the bluenette once more.

"Wanna say that again?!" Deuce bellows as he follows after him. Riddle sighed once the A-Deuce duo left his room.

"Typical duo..." He mumbles.

"Agreed, but don't forget that I'm part of this." Trey reminded but the dorm leader huffs in response.

"Actions are louder than words, Trey." He retorts as he glance at his childhood friend with determined grey eyes.

"No take backs, understood?" Riddle informs him as Trey folding his arms with his eyes glimmer with serious confidence.

"I can't afford to lose to you too, Riddle." He replied as sparks ignite from their stares where their intense rivalry is only the beginning.

—————

Meanwhile at the halls, Cater wanders around holding his phone as Ace's echoes through is mind.

Who the hell would want a playboy that looks at his phone all the time as a boyfriend?

While reminiscing his words, Cater stops his tracks while his eyes are glued to his phone. However, he stares to the phone melancholically.

...I wonder if she accepts the real me?...

He thought before erupting a chuckle.

"How silly. What was I thinking saying that I've fallen for her the other day?..." He mumbles with a grin before chortling softly again.

"I'm kidding..." He joked. Soon, Cater brought out an Angel keychain from his pocket that Glory got for him during Christmas. He remembers his first encounter, seeing her nothing more as a friend when he met her at his dorm, but all that changes when after watching her live performance at the Magift Tournament and Mostro lounge in Magicam the other night. His heart nearly stops cold when he finds himself slowly falling for the strong but sweet and bright ravenette, he's so, so scared of exposing himself, of him being emotionally vulnerable.

I can't...she mustn't...I can't be in love...There's no way she could accept the real me...besides, she got her heartbroken by her ex boyfriend....

With dread clouded his mind, Cater swallows the growing fear and sadness in his throat, plastering a massive smile on while staring at the Angel keychain with lovestruck eyes before putting it back into his pocket as he forces a smile.

"I'm sure it's nothing...Hopefully...." He muttered, obviously lying to himself as he continues walking through the halls and stares back to his phone; trying to distract himself from his own emotional turmoil that is eating him up.
