1989's POV
This week went by incredibly fast, I was in French class, taking notes while Midnights literally almost fell asleep sitting up from boredom. 
"This task will do..." the teacher said looking around the classroom, her eyes stopped on me and I had the impression that she was staring into my soul. "Maybe TTPD?" teacher added, turning towards my friend, who began to answer.
"My ears are bleeding" Midnights whispered the moment TTPD spoke up, rolling her eyes.
"Don't be so rude, her accent is not bad" I responded looking reproachfully at Midnights who smirked at me. 
"Liar" she said, turning even more towards me, staring at me with her eyes. I swear blue is my favorite color. 
"You have to try to be nice sometimes" 
"I am nice to you" she replied with a shrug. 
"I meant TTPD for example" I said and Midnights rolled her eyes theatrically.  
"Whatever you say mother" she said sarcastically and I shook my head. 
"Aren't you older than me?" I asked, laughing slightly. 
"I am but I also have this thing that I get older but just never wiser" Midnights replied, fixing her gaze on the board. 
"When is your birthday?" 
"October 21, why do you ask so many questions today?" Midnights turned her gaze towards me again and I felt myself blush, I didn't know if it was because I felt stupid or because of the way she looked at me. 
"Okay class, since it's already the weekend I have a project for you, which you will do in pairs" the teacher announced grabbing everyone's attention. "I will now give you the topics that you can choose, the presentation must of course be in French" 
Midnights looked at me the same time I looked at her. She smirked. 
"Nine" the way she said my name sent shivers down my spine. 
"Yes?" I responded pretending I had no idea what she was talking about.  
"Do you want to do this project with me?" Midnights asked.
YES OF COURSE?!
"I think I can" I tried to hide my joy and hold back the smile that was trying to spread across my lips. 
"Good" she said indifferently and then smiled slightly. "I know you're happy about it"
"It looks like you do too, Mid" 
At the same moment I felt someone throw a ball of paper at me. I turned around and saw TTPD waving at me. She started gesturing to herself and me, probably wanting to ask me if I would do a project with her. The bell rang.
"See you tomorrow" I said.
"Yeah see you Nine" Midnights replied smirking and left the classroom.
I waited for TTPD who was packing her things.  
"I am so excited about this project" TTPD said as we walked down the hall holding my hand, because it was terribly crowded.
"I'm glad, who you do it with?" 
"I thought we would do it together" she replied and I felt my stomach tighten.
"Um...I'm doing this project with Midnights" I said as gently as possible, TTPD looked at me and I felt her squeeze my hand even tighter. "I'm sorry" 
"Oh, that's cool" was all she said, I noticed her enthusiasm had waned a bit. I felt sorry for her but I won't change plans with Midnights, I don't even want to. 
"Hey! Maybe you should do this project with Beautiful Eyes?" I came up with an idea while remembering  that petite blonde with curly hair. She was very brilliant and I think she would get along with TTPD. 
"I don't know if she'll want to work with me" 
"I'm sure she will, you are nice and I think almost everyone who exchanges even a word with you is delighted with your personality" I told her truthfully. A blush appeared on her face and she smiled. How cute. 
"Thank you for saying that" TTPD responded looking at me with eyes filled with gratitude. "I'll talk to Beautiful Eyes" I smiled at her.

I was just standing in front of Midnights' house. I knocked and after a moment the door opened and there stood Midnights. 
"Hi, I'm sorry I'm early, I didn't want to be late" I quickly explained myself but she didn't seem to care.
"Run away while you can, my parents are home" she said sarcastically, twisting her face into a grimace and opening the door wider for me. 
"NIGHTS! COME WITH YOUR FRIEND HERE" we heard a scream I guess it was Midnights' mom. Mid rolled her eyes. 
"Wonderfully" she said and grabbed my wrist the moment I hung up my coat. 
Midnights dragged me toward the living room, where a middle-aged blonde woman sat at the coffee table with a fashion magazine in her hand. She looked very elegant in a cashmere sweater and black pants.  
"Hello" I greeted her as soon as I saw her, she looked up and smiled broadly. She had the same hypnotizing eyes as Midnights. 
"1989! So nice to meet you sweetheart" she stood up and came to shake my hand.
"I'm going to throw up" Midnights said under her breath but her mother didn't seem to hear it, I looked at Mid out of the corner of my eye and saw how irritated she was. 
"It's nice to meet you too Mrs. Haze" I replied smiling too, this woman was so lovely. 
"My name is Delilah, that's enough" she said and Midnights rolled her eyes. "Would you girls like some coffee or maybe tea? I also brought some macarons straight from Paris!" 
"I love macarons!" I replied to which Delilah smiled and went to the kitchen. 
"Now we won't get rid of her" Midnights said as she took a seat at the table.  
"She seems so kind" I said as I sat up and picked up the magazine that Delilah was reading earlier. 
"She could talk all day long, it's tiring" Midnights replied briefly. There was a moment of silence, interrupted only by rustling from the kitchen. 
"Nights is such a cute nickname" I changed the subject while turning the page of magazine and looking at fall trends. 
"Shut up" she said rolling her eyes and turning her head towards the window. I guess she was embarrassed.  
"Hello ladies" A tall, portly man with a gentle expression on his face entered the living room, Midnights smirked. 
"Yeah with all the mom's talk, all we needed was you" she said as her father kissed her forehead. "Ew"
"I've heard a lot about you 1989, it's an honor to meet you" Heard a lot about me? Where? From whom? What did he hear?  
"I'm also really glad, Mr. Haze" I smiled. 
"How are Lover, Rep and Eve?" Mid's dad asked, looking through some documents he took out of the briefcase he brought. 
"Fine" Midnights replied, not bothering with a long answer.
