Frank made his way to the outside courtyard and looked around. Immediately, the Persona User spotted the rest of his friends at their usual table, and offered a wave to them before making his way over. Frank took a seat between Neko-Chan and Kate, and offered both of them a smile. For some odd reason, it was ominously quiet. Nate was glaring at the Persona User, and finally, he slammed his hands on the table and shot up.

"You know Frank..." Nate growled out at the Persona User. "I could kill you..."

"Kami-Sama..." Yuki said quietly as she shook her head. "Calm do-"

"Yuki, stay out of this! Frank, you had no right to let... them... join!" Nate said hotly.

Goddamn... he found out... I should have known he would... but there was no way in hell I was going to tell Lucy and Janet no.

Frank stood up and returned Nate's glare. "You know, I can't figure you out... you're the one who ditched us during the dance, and now, you're complaining because I told Lucy and Janet that they could be a part of the band. What the hell is wrong with you?" Before Nate could speak up, Frank leaned on the table and glared at the snob angrily. "You've been getting on my nerves... Tellka's nerves... and everyone else's nerves! What's this I heard about you yelling at Kate, when all she did was talk to you?!"

By now, Lucy, Janet, and Ray and walked up to the table, and were in shock by what they had seen and heard.

"You know what, Maynard?" Nate said as he gathered his stuff and kept a firm glare on Frank. "Fuck you. Stay out of my god damn business!" With those words, Nate stalked off into the school, swerving angrily between students.

"Dude..." Brad said as he watched Nate leave. "What the hell is wrong with him?"

"Ya've got me..." Diane said as her ears flicked in annoyance. "Ladon... that snob got kinda loud..."

Chris just shook his head before looking at Neko-Chan. "Frank said that you were going to start coming here?"

Neko-Chan just nodded at the woren and offered him a kitty grin.

"What classes are you taking?" Cynthia asked before lolling out a grin and leaning on the table.

"Myah... I'm just following Frank's schedule for now. He warned me about his first period teacher? Er..." By now, the nekomata's tails began to wave around lightly. "Mr. Jamerson?"

Frank just shook his head. "Yeah, we've got him for first period. I'm amazed I'm able to stay awake..."

"Er... Frank?" Lucy asked after unpacking her lunch. "What was all that with Nate?"

"Don't worry about it, Lucy..." Frank replied before taking a bite of his sandwich.

"Yeah, I mean..." Brad replied to the raven haired Windian. "Nate's just being Nate. Stubborn as an a-"

"Anyway..." Yuki said as she covered Brad's mouth. "What about the dance tonight?"

"Well..." Ryan said as he looked at the Japanese Persona User. "Last time, all of us met at my place..."

"I really think that would be the right thing to do." Ellen said to the others. "Love, is that all right with you?"

Alex slipped an arm around Ellen and smiled. "Of course, Ellie. I'll see you there."

"Janet, Lucy... you two remember how to get to The Tiger's Catch?" Ryan asked the two Windians.

"Er... I think so... Brad, I'll meet you at the restaurant, okay?" Janet said to the egotistical Persona User.

"Right." Brad said to his date. "Look, I won't try anything funny... since you told me not to yesterday... but at least let me bring you some flowers!"

Janet just giggled at Brad. "All right, all right. But no kissing!"

"Lucy, I'll pick you up tonight... Er... then we can head over to the restaurant, okay?" Ray said to his girlfriend.

Lucy offered the shy Light Dragon a smile. "I'll be waiting for you..."

"Well then..." Frank said as he looked at Kate. "Kate... I'll pick you up tonight?"

Kate just smiled and leaned against Frank, her ears twitching lightly. "Of course... I'll be waiting for you..."

The group of friends just continued to talk amongst themselves, with a timeout taken so Ellen could snap some pics of Neko-Chan, before the lunch period ended.
