"Not my style," Melissa muttered as the three girls walked from the concert done by Nathan and Daisy. "I mean it was good but just not my style, I'm not into that mushy love ballads" They were walking towards a place to sit.

"You do know that it's Valentine's Day right? This isn't Straight out of Compton like I saw on your MP3." Emma smiled remembering all the weird tastes that Melissa had in music. It was really quite amusing for her.

"Ha ha and I'm not blind at all. I wonder if I could see anyone here from the Assist Club," The brunette teen casually looked around but remembered that she was wearing a disguise, a terrible one at best. "Then I still have to sort out getting an agent or something, boy that's going to be hard." She groaned in distress as it seemed a lot of stress would creep on her.

"You still keep tabs with those guys? Like that's amazingly awesome," Madison replied with her usual peppy chirpy tone of voice. "You gotta find a way to stay in the States yet represent Australia, I'm sure that's possible."

"I got to figure that out but I think I could do that, I think I could...I do not listen to Gangster Rap, Emma." Melissa exclaimed in annoyance, shooting a dirty look at Emma.

"All right, where should we go then?" Daisy and Jordan both asked to their respective partners in curiosity.

Even though he had been the one to suggest dinner, Nathan wasn't sure how to answer this question. He considered it for a few moments. "To be honest, I'm not really sure." He admitted sheepishly. "I hadn't planned on doing anything tonight so... if you have something in mind that'll work fine for me."

"Honestly wouldn't surprise me," Lucina smiled sheepishly.

"Um you choose," Zima told him

"Oh there's this burger place I like that's close from here," Jordan pointed out with a smile on his face as he turned towards Zima. "....sorry, eating burgers is not exactly a good first date scenario," he said, looking away in embarassment. He wanted to try and impress Zima and instead he had said something that just wasn't something he thought was good for a first date.

***

"I could go for a burger, Martin told me there's this burger place he always goes to nearby," Daisy pointed out while in thought.

Nathan nodded. Going to a burger place wasn't his typical dinner date, but it was not a problem. "Sure, that sounds nice." He told Daisy with a smile.

"That sounds just fine," she told him, grabbing his hand and walking away from the crowd.

Jordan and Zima arrived at the burger joint that Jordan had told her about, with Jordan looking around as he looked down at his hand intertwine with Zima's. "You know, I didn't think you'd like holding my hand so much," he grinned. He then proceeded to notice Daisy and Nate sitting by the corner of the place. "Isn't that Nate?"

Nathan had no idea that Zima and Jordan had just walked in due to the fact that he was quietly talking with Daisy, the pair having just ordered. "I like the feel of this place." He said quietly to her. "Nice atmosphere and it smells really good."

"I actually didn't realize I was holding it so much," Zima chuckled before she as well noticed Nathan. The moment she saw him enjoying himself with Daisy, she let go of Jordan's hand and marched over to him. "Nathan Asher!" she yelled at him. Once his attention was on her, SLAP! was heard throughout the joint as Zima slapped him so hard that her hand was stinging, bad.

However the pain was nothing compared to her fury. "You whiny, ungrateful, selfish, broody, uncaring, addict, inconsiderate rich boy! How dare you!? You drink and smoke without a care. You don't care that you get kicked out of a branch. And you leave without caring about others. Now you're out on a date without thinking of Erika. You didn't break up with her, she broke up with you, and good thing she did because you are a fucking bastard. I can't believe you could be so inconsiderate, pathetic, just plain horrible. You didn't even try to fix things with her. You may have left and came back like you changed, and you did. You became worse. The old Nate would have fought and cared, but you don't. You never do. You let everyone worry about you, and you give nothing in return. Jordan tries to rely on you and you screw it up. Erika trusts you, you break it. Always you never considering the consequences. You know what you should do. You should just do us all a favor and leave for good so we never have to worry about you again. Then we can stop being miserable because of you. Sophie can then not have a brother to look after here and concentrate on herself instead of you ruining her image. Erika can find an actual good guy he will treat her the way she deserves. And Jordan can have someone to rely on for the club when he's gone because you aren't that person. You're just unreliable, and a plague to everyone so just disappear," Zima laid into him. Without another word after "disappear" she left the restaurant, furious.

Jordan didn't say anything as Zima let her rage out, mostly because he felt like if he even tried he would be completely destroyed by her killing intent. So once she walked off all he did was walk over to Nathan and chuckle nervously. "Hey...your performance was great," he complimented nervously before turning around. "We'll talk later," with that he left to chase after Zima. "Of course valentines had to end like this."

***

"Wow," was all Daisy said as Zima had her outburst on Nathan. "So..."

Nathan had been caught off guard. Without thinking, his hand had reached up and he rubbed where Zima's hand had hit him. He closed his eyes and heard Jordan's words, but didn't comment. He took a deep breath, calming himself down. As much as he wanted to chase after Zima and tell her to get off her high horse, that could wait until the next day. For now, he had to do damage control. "Some people have no social graces whatsoever." He thought out loud, mostly as a way to give himself a moment to respond to the awkwardness. "I'm sorry you had to see that. That girl... she's crazy." Nathan remarked dryly. "She gets off on putting other people down, it's not the first time she's done that. And that article about the assist club awhile back. She was the one who had taken all those shots at the rest of the club." While Nathan didn't know this for a fact, he could put two and two together. "Jordan puts up with it because well, you saw them come in together, you can put the pieces together." He chuckled at the thought. "The poor guy."

Erika decided to head back home for the night because the school appeared to be extremely uneventful. Once Al picked her up, he noticed her downcast attitude and decided not to comment on it.

Likewise, Zane said his goodbyes to Lucina and a few others and headed back to his house with pep in his step. He wasn't truly sure why, but he was in a good mood.

"Wait, I think you overreacted there," Jordan said as he caught up with Zima, grabbing a hold of her hand so he could stop her. "I can tell why you're mad but I think we jumped into things before seeing what was going on first."

Zima ripped her hand from Jordan's and turned towards him. "No I didn't. He never learns. Never considers others. He keeps causing trouble for others without thinking of the consequences and even that just now probably won't get through to him and you should know that. Now good night Jordan. I have to get home," she told him walking away and heading home.

Lucina skipped hom eafter the concert, oddly happy, scarf around her neck. She wasn't sure why she felt so elated but she did.

Jordan sighed to himself as he saw Zima walk off. "Figures the day would end like this," he said before looking back to the restaurant in thought. Every day just got more and more chaotic even when it seemed like things were finally starting to work out.

***

Daisy didn't say anything, instead she just stared at Nathan for a moment before her eyes fell to the table. "I shouldn´t tell you this but...your group is kind of in the red right now," Daisy muttered to him. "The reason our vice president is finally coming back is cause the pres needs some extra help with figuring out what to do about some of the clubs," she explained with a serious and business-like tone. "Not to say you guys are bad but we noticed that there seem to be a lot of friction between all of you that gets in the way of your work. Aside frm that....someone came in the other day, I think his name was Derek or something, he filed for starting his own group to help others around the school."

"So Roger is thinking that if this guy´s club performs better than yours by the end of the year then well...your club wil be cut off."

"Friction... you don't know the half of it." Nathan said with a frown. "Well I guess you kind of... have a sense of it now at least." He added as an afterthought. He wasn't terribly surprised at what he was hearing. It was only a matter of time before the president and council heard about the madhouse the club had become. He pondered this for a moment. "I appreciate the warning." Nathan said gratefully. "Hopefully that will turn things around."

"You know it's going to be tough with what happened with Erika and toda, I really feel bad for Jordan," Daisy pointed out before sighing and taking a sip from her soda. "Last year he had to get on his knees for the ex president to accept his club...mostly cause he was that kind of annoying person," she frowned for a moment. "Still I'm telling you this because well, I know what Zima did was upsetting, but I know you're someone that doesn't just do things without thinking either, you guys have helped out a lot too so I myself think it'll be better to soften the blows instead of making them harder....of course I guess I can´t speak for everyone."

"I'll do what I can but I feel like a lot of this is out of my hands." Nathan said quietly. It would be the more volatile personalities in the club that determined their fate. "I wouldn't call Zima's outburst upsetting... I believe annoying is the more operative term." He pondered this for a moment. "I'll talk to Jordan about it tomorrow... quietly of course. And I'll see what we can do."

Jordan had gone back to his house and to his room. He was now lying on his bed, his thoughts going over everything that had happened during the day, both the good and the...not so good things. He put his hand on his face before moving them back to brush them against his head he rested it against the pillow. The club had become a bit more chaotic than usual ever since the article had come out and surely Nate's and Erika's break up sure hadn't helped either. He knew that he would have to tackle one problem at a time.

He took his phone out and looked straight up at the screen before he began making a text, making sure to list the numbers of everyone in the Assist Club. "Hello everyone, I was sending this text to tell you that for tomorrow the Assist Club wouldn't be working, instead I'll be holding a meeting with Nathan, Zima and Erika during the afternoon," he repeated as he made the text. "I will keep everyone posted on what happened once it ends."

***

The next day Jordan had gotten out of Branch classes as fast as he could before going over to the clubroom, making sure to have everything set up for when Erika, Nathan and Zima got there. He sighed to himself as he sat down on his chair, his head still spinning with everything that was in his mind. "Well, I'll just believe I can do this."

***

"So how come you're here?" Anna asked curiously as she and Dia sat across from each other on a table in the Food Fair.

"I got hungry," Dia commented simply as he ate a donut. "Sorry..."

"Don't apologize, just give me one of those," Anna shrugged before sneaking her hand around to grab the other donut that Dia had bought. "I sure hope my brother doesn't die."

"I just hope that they can work things out, I know things have been bad for Erika since she and Mr. Nathan broke up."

"....I'm sorry it just makes me laugh that you address Nate as a Mr. of all things," Anna pointed out with a chuckle.
