Chapter 3: Feelings Arise
Two years had passed, and now, Pablo and Maci had just started high school. In that time, Pablo had also discovered that he had feelings for Maci. Pablo went to visit Maci's apartment in San Myshuno. "Pablo!" Maci greeted her long-time friend with a warm embrace. Pablo smiled. "Hey, Maci!"

"So, what do you wanna do tonight?" Pablo asked. "Oh, well..." Maci started, "the Romance Festival is taking place tonight in the Fashion District, and... I was wondering if you wanted to go?" Pablo's eyes widened. Maci wanted to go to the romance festival with him?! Maybe she DID like him back! "Oh, sure." He answered, smiling even wider, "When does it start?" "It starts at six, but we should probably leave now so that we can get there on time." "Okay!"

At the Romance Festival, Pablo and Maci sat down at a table and drank some tea. The tea made Pablo feel warm and fuzzy inside... or maybe it was just Maci? "Hey, Maci," Pablo said, "Uh, wouldn't it be funny if we had feelings for each other, and... we confessed our feelings at the Romance Festival? That would be perfect, right?" "Uh... yeah." Maci nodded, "That would be hilarious!" Pablo's heart started to beat faster.

After they talked for a few minutes, Pablo realized that this would indeed be the perfect time to confess his feelings to her! "Hey. Maci..." Pablo said, "uh, well... you know how you've been trying to impress someone for a while now... but you won't tell me who it is?" Maci nodded, "Hah, yeah." "Well..." Pablo took a deep breath, then asked, "Is it me?" "Oh, uh... it's getting late! Gotta go!" Maci said suddenly, and ran off into the distance. "Maci, Wait!" Pablo exclaimed, but she didn't wait. He sighed, "Maci...?" What had just happened?

Meanwhile, Leonardo and Beverly had become close friends. On that same night, Beverly came to visit Leonardo. "Leonardo, guess what?" She asked. "What?" "Well," She grinned, "my mom is on a business trip, so it's just me and my dad for a few days! I've been eating cereal for every meal and staying up past midnight!" "Oh..." Leonardo frowned, "that's not good." "Why not?" Beverly asked. "Well," Leonardo answered, "don't you want to have a variety of meals? My mom cooks something different every night! Eating sugary cereal for EVERY meal can't be too healthy. What about the major food groups? And... my parents always say it's not good to stay up late on school days. They say it'll cause me to be tired in school, and then I won't learn as well." "Oh." Beverly frowned, "I see. But... it's fun!" Leonardo sighed.
