A group of guys wearing black scarf pointed their guns  "OUT!!! NOW!!!"

Dyle was about to get out of the car but Deo had to stop him "Are you out of your mind! We can't go out!"

"They have guns Deo!!!"

"But we are safer here!!"

"Can't you see their guns?! Your car is not a bullet proof!!"

"I can just drive--" 

"OUT!!" one guy threw a rock on the windshield "GET OUT OF THE CAR!!"

This men got an order from their boss who Mazekin just defeated earlier in poker

"Let's go"

Dyle, Deo and Mazekin got out fron the car

"MONEY"

"We have no money"

He pushed Dyle hard using his gun WHERE'S THE MONEY!"

"Don't hurt him. The money is here"

Deo to open the trunk then they took the money and left 

Now the two looks devastated 

It's been like 15 minutes and they're still not talking, they're still outside the car

"We better go now. It's very late" she said but they act like they didn't hear her

"Your car have a bad luck" Dyle commented 

"Now you're blaming it on my car? You're the reason why we have no money at all" said Deo

"Guys..." she stopped 'Nevermind it's their fight'

"Me?! Really?!!"

"Yes! Because you said we should get out instead of just staying in this Goddamn car!"

"And what? Get killed inside?!"

"I can--"

"No! I will not risk our lives with your stupid idea!"

"Stupid?!"

"Yes stupid!"

"You guys... fighting each other won't solve the problem"

They stopped but it seems like their eyes are still cursing each other

"Get in the car, I'll drive" she said but Deo gave her the are-you-serious look

"That's my car"

"I know and I'm driving it. Get in"

He's at the passenger seat, Dyle is at the back. They didn't talk until they get to the house

They were about to enter their rooms still mad at each other

"Wait" but she stopped them "I know you two are devastated of what happened but it's no one's fault. Blaming each other won't make it any better right?"

They looked at each other and they both agreed 

Dyle sigh "I'm just very upset because... it's for Henry you know"

"Yes and I bet Deo feel the same too. Let's just think of other ways to get more money for the surgery. Didn't you say you'll sell cookies? We can help you make more cookies"

"I don't know how to make cookies" Deo said in a lower tone 

"Dan will teach us"

Dyle prepared all the ingredients and taught them step by step how to make it "We need to make at least 500 cookies" 

Deo: 500?! How can we make that much? That's a lot

Dyle: I know. Should we buy more ingredients?

Maze: Nah. Just make small and thin cookies

Deo: and sell it expensive? Who would buy them?

Maze: his fangirls. He'll be selling it in school where he's already popular. They'll buy whatever he sell... or you can help him sell cookies too

Deo: Me? I don't think I have fangirls--

Maze: No. Scare them to buy

Deo: Ya!

Mazekin let out a low chuckle and Dyle laugh too loud because of Deo's reaction 

Deo put cream on her face "Now that's funny" 

"What the-- it fits you more" she put cream on his face too

"Y'all~ don't waste cream we--" she put cream on his nose too and laugh along with Deo "Really Celine?"

Dyle looked at Deo, he gave him a sign to hold her because he wants to get back at her but Deo misunderstood it. He put more cream on her face instead of helping him do it

"Stooopp"

"No you started it"

"Let go of my hands that's not fair"

"Deo hold her tight let me put some too"

"Nooooo~ stop! Let gooooo~"

"Hahahaha put more"

"What's happening?" 

They both stopped 

Mrs. Perez looked at Mazekin. Her face is full of cream now and the guys have cream too but they have more cream on their hands

"What's that on your hands?"

"It's a cream, mompe"

"We're making cookies"

"Are you the cookie?" She asked Celine. She shook her head no with a cute pout that the old lady couldn't resist 

Dyle and Deo saw that. They know what she's trying to do

"No mompe it's not what you think"

"We were just playing around. See we have cream too"

"They were teaming up against me mompe" said Mazekin

"Aigoo..."

"Mompe we--"

"What did I told you two? Be a gentleman, never hurt a girl"

"Mompe she's not hurt" said Deo but he shut up when Mrs. Perez gave him that look

"Celine are you okay?"

"I'm hurt mompe. He was holding my arm too tight look it's red now"

"What? That's not true we were just playi--"

"Boys put that cream on your faces" Mrs. Perez said with a firm voice

They did what she told them to do

"So unfair" said Deo with a face full of cream

Dyle and Deo are both looking at Maze while Mrs. Perez is wiping her face

"I guess she won't help us clean this up"

Dyle and Deo started cleaning. Maze didn't help of course 

 

Next Day...

"Here's your order..." Dyle gave out his friend's orders 

"Hey do you want some cookies?" Yulo asked a student who just passed by

"Yo Yosef, don't just give it away" 

"But I'm not going to eat them"

"I got an idea" they all look at Yong "Why don't we just sell it again but double the price"

"It's already expensive"

"We can offer a service that they cannot resist"

"Like what?"

"Like a kiss... kissing booth"

"I like that" Crystal agreed 

"Cool. We'll sell it after class. Tell Dyle to not sell the cookies"

They helped each other. Kyle and Jun bought the remaining cookies from Dyle. Crystal's friends helped giving out the flyers to let everyone know about the booth after class. Deo and Yulo helped by preparing the booths

When the bell rang... Dyle, Deo, Kyle, Jun, Yong, Chan, Crystal and her friends ran as fast as they can to go to the field and get there first

"Alright so here's the plan, we have 2 batch, 1st would be the girls for the guy customers and 2nd would be the guys for the girls customers"

Crystal volunteered for thr 1st batch, now they need 1 more for the other booth

"Celine is popular too. She can do it" they all agreed to Jun

Speaking of Maze, she just got to the field with Yulo, they didn't run they just walked 

"Celine, you and Crystal will be on the 1st batch.  Dyle and I will be on the 2nd batch" 

But she didn't agreed to Yong "I didn't sign up for that"

"If she can't do it, let's not force her" Dyle said but Yulo stopped him

"She can do it"

Mazekin gave him the look "Why'd you say that?!"

And he whispered "Boss we have to show them that you're better than her"

People started coming. They didn't expect for girls to line up to the 1st batch, they thought it will be just guys but they were wrong

"Thank you" Crystal gave him the cookie and gave him a kiss on the cheeks "Next"

Yong and Dyle gave their cookies to Crystal and Mazekin because the line keeps getting longer until they ran out of cookies to give

"Opps sorry we don't have any cookies to sell--" he cut her off 

"It's ok I'm not here for the cookies anyway" he gave the money to Yulo and kissed Mazekin on the cheek 

 

===

"Does your friend like Celine?" Chan asked Kyle

"Deo? Haha that's impossible"

"Look at him, he's been starting at her"

"Deo likes Crystal he just don't want everyone to know"

"But he's obvious"

"I know right? So stop saying he likes Celine, they're enemies"

===

"You look jealous Deo. Do you wanna go to her line too?" Jun noticed too

"Are you nuts?"

"What? Don't you like her?"

"Dude! You're crazy. I like Crystal"

"Yes I was talking about her..."

"Ohh... you were? I didn't know"

"So... Celine huh"

"Stop it. I only looked at Celine's because I don't see what they like about her"

"If you say so"

===

"Is it almost done? My cheeks feels numb now" Mazekin complained to Yulo who's standing next to her

"Almost done, 10 more"

"Ugh"

Crystal finished first then Mazekin. It was a 1 long hour full of kisses

Yulo gave him Mazekin's jars too and Dyle let Yong and Jun count them

"Wow! This is a lot guys! Thank you so much" Dyle put the jars on Deo's trunk 

"Let's go eat something just to celebrate" Crystal smiled "My treat"

"Alriiiiiight~"

"Let's go"

 

 

[Diamond Gem Restaurant]

They picked the table outside for a fresh air

Crystal: Do you like the food Celine?

Celine: yeah taste good

Crystal: my dad's a chef and he owns a lot of restaurants especially in abroad. What does your parents do?

Yulo: they own...hotels yeah hotels

Chan: really? Which hotel?

Kyle: the 5 star of course. Her parents are rich

Crystal: maybe someday we can go to one of your hotels 

Maze: you heard him, it's my parent's not mine

Crystal: it's yours too because they're your parents

Maze: it doesn't work like that

Crystal: unless you have have siblings and you're not the favorite one

Deo: *ehem*

Dyle: I can't believe we collected this big amount of money in just 1 day

Yong: the kissing booth was a good idea Crystal, a lot of them spend money just to get a kiss from you

Chan: Celine's got more money

Kyle: but most student's preferred Crystal's 

Jun: Celine's line was longer. Even Deo wanted to go to her line

Deo right now -->   d0_0b  "what"

Crystal: really Deo?

Deo: no-no. Of course not

Crystal: but if you had to go, which line would you pick?

They all looked at him except Mazekin they're all waiting for his answer

Deo: yours

Crystal: good to know

Dyle: guys, this is not a competition. Everyone did something to help so thank you everyone for helping especially Celine and Crystal 

"Hey beautiful girls...can we join you?"

The boys stood up to stop them from going near the girls

"Get out of my way!" He pushed Deo so he punched him

And that's how the fight started

All the boys fight with them but only Dyle, Deo and Yulo are the good ones.  They even protect not just the girls but also the other 4 guys

They're in the middle of a fight when another batch came to join them

7 of them against 15

"Where are the cops?!" Crystal called the cops because no one dared to stop them 

 

*WEOWEOWEO*  (siren sound,sorry)

 

They run as fast as they can when they heard the sirens 

"Dyle" Crystal run towards Dyle who's laying on the floor with blood all over his face

Deo have wiped the blood on his eyebrow while sitting on the floor

"You alright?" Mazekin asked

"Yeah I'm--" he stopped when he saw she's not talking to him but to Yulo

"Guys Dyle is not moving!"

They rushed him to the hospital. Some of them left when the doctor said he's fine now but some waited until he wake up 

"Dyle..." 

"Crystal... where am I?"

"Hospital"

Dyle looked at the side and saw Dyle and Maze 

"The doctor said you have to stay here until tomorrow. Do you need anything?" Crystal said in a worried voice 

"I'm fine. You all should go home" He said

"But--"

"Please Crystal. I want to rest"

"...okay" she left the room but the 2 stayed

"What should we tell mompe?" Deo asked

"I don't know please just think of an excuse for me"

Maze gave him a thumbs up "Sure"

"Sorry I can't be in class tomorrow but the USB is in my drawer, I did my part you just gotta put your topic and it'll be good to go"

"What is?"

Oh boy, she's clueless 

"The research project. It's due tomorrow. Don't tell me you guys are not done with it?"

"What? Of course we're done. It was easy" Deo gave her the agree-with-me look

"Right. Don't worry we got you"

"Glad to hear that"

 

 

[Library]

7:15 p.m. 

"How come you didn't know it's due tomorrow?" She asked

"I was probably sleeping when he mentioned the due date"

"No wonder you're failing"

"Don't brag as if you're grades are passing. I see you always sleeping"

"You always look? Ooohhhh someone's crushing on me"

"I don't. I'm into smart girls"

"I failed because I'm lazy. Watch me pass this research project"

"It's a group effort though"

"Whatever"
