??? POV

It's been a busy day if not week. Constant working, endless amount of hungry customers pouring in at happy hour, mi abuela, Maria Valenzuela, slaving away in the kitchen everyday, and mi madre, Theresa Valenzuela-Nguyen, mourning over grandpa who had passed away a little over a month ago. What's worse is my father had been drinking a lot lately, with and without his friends. Another reason on the list of reasons him and I don't get along.. at least not anymore. My little sisters, Minnie and Mimmie did everything they could to cheer up our mom, but nothing really worked.. what do I do then?

Well, first, let me introduce myself: My name is Ninten Valenzuela-Nguyen. I am 17 and a half going on 18 years old, as well as being pretty short for my age. I help out in the kitchen as well as wait tables in a local Mexican and Eastern Asian restaurant, Little Eastern Mexico, that my family runs in Podunk, California. Not very far over, my cousin, Ness Santiago-Diaz, works with his mother and little sister in a bakery in Onett, Onett Baked Goods.

Back to the main situation, tonight was a pretty standard night, except for one thing. My father was drunk again. In my household which sat above the restaurant, there was something brewing between my mother and father, no it wasn't love or lust. Some sort of argument between them. All I knew is I saw that I saw grandma scoot Minnie and Mimmie to their rooms as I was walking down from mine. Halfway, I saw them arguing. Using a classic boyscout tactic, I hid behind the banister, watching and listening.

"All you've done was hang out with your coworkers to drink! You never help out the family or come home, not even a phone call!"

"I do what I want, when I want to do it."

"I can't live like this.. Pack your stuff and get out."

"You dont have the authority to talk to me in that way. Watch your tongue."

"Get out of my ho--" She was cut off by a burly hand around her throat. Witnessing the event, I launched myself over my hiding spot, pulling out my one of my knives from a pouch that was hidden under my sweater.

I pinned down the man, freeing my mother. My foot at his throat, knee on his chest, the knife held to his eye and I managed to hold down his arm. He wreaked of alcohol, the disgustingly intoxicating smell of tequila and beer clouded his aura.

"No, no! Mijo, let him go!" My mother shouted hoarsely from trying to catch her breath.

"Mama, listen to yourself! He could've killed you! "

"Let him go now.."

I hesitated, muttering spanish curses under my breath, I placed the knife back in the pouch it was held. I then released the man, standing up, glaring with confusion and anger.

I looked at my mother again, making sure she was alright before speaking again."Mama, I'm heading back to campus. I left my laptop and culinary homework." I turned back to the larger male who was now coughing and gasping for air.

"Hurt her, Grandma, or my little sisters, you'll be the next item on the menu." I threatened and walked down the stairs.

Making my way to the the campus of Retrobound College, I picked up my phone and started dialing a number. Who else is a person I could possibly trust other than Tony, Travis, Loid, and Ana?

"*Que quieres? It's too late to be calling me!" My cousin said sarcastically.

"*Sus 6 de la tarde. You're still working."

"We're just now closing. Anyway, what's up besides the sky?"

"My dad got drunk again and nearly choked my mother to death."

"Good god.. She okay? She is okay though, right?"

"She's fine. I nearly killed him. I had to use one of my knives this time."

"You should've left a scar! Scare him off! Cut him if you nee--"

"Calm down, Harley Quinn, the Joker isn't here. I don't actually plan on killing him. I need to pick up my laptop and culinary homework from school. I'll call back."

"Oh crap.. I forgot about culinary homework.. Can you get my book? You know the combo. "

"Fine. You owe me for this."

"Fine, just dont mess up my locker."

"Not promising a thing." I said mischievously and hung up.

The campus is pretty huge. The quad being filled with lush green grass and trees, and few tables set up around the cafe area. Over there you pretty much get the usual: coffee, tea, sandwiches, anything you need to wake up or stay up for nightly classes. I finally made my way to culinary class and stopped at the lockers directly by the door. Ness' locker was decorated with Harley Quinn, reggae, vaporwave and baseball cards and stickers, mine being decorated with space, alien, Monstercat, and Mystery Skulls stickers. Upon opening mine, our culinary teacher, Miss Marshmallow opened the door and greeted me.

"Ah, Ninten! What're you doing here? You and Ness have afternoon classes with me. And aren't you supposed to be at your family's restaurant?" She asked, not even going to try to disguise her thick French accent.

"We just closed, and I needed to pick up my laptop, homework and Ness' book." I answered, closing my locker.

"Ah, I see.. Well, anyways, you're just in time! I know a deliciously sweet rumour that may pique your interest."

"I mean this with all my respect, Miss Marshmallow, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't involve cryptids or extraterrestrial beings that a conspiracy theorist, like myself, has been studying for years at a time. So.. Count me uninterested."

"It has something to do with a couple of good-looking male students~" she sang.

"...I'm listening." With that she escorted me inside the class room.

"So, you're telling me they're twins from Tazmily, Texas. Correct?" I asked, looking at her as I sat across from her desk.

"Mhm. Their parents will be opening a diner somewhere between here and Onett. They'll be starting this class, period as you and Ness."

"Mind if I pull up their enrollment history?" I asked, opening up my green galactic space laptop.

"I'll keep your hacking a secret." She smiled sweetly.

"Alright.." I began typing. "Their names are..?"

"Claus and Lucas Adams.."

Third Person POV

In Culinary Class, Ness and Ninten stood at their station with simple everyday kitchen materials, awaiting Miss Marshmallow's instructions. As she walked into the class room, she glanced at Ninten and Ness,as if sending some sort of telepathic message to them.

"Well class, before we start today, I'd like to introduce a pair of new students that will be joing us." She smiled and turned towards the door. As if on cue, two male students walked inside and stood by the cooking teacher.

The first one, seeming an inch shorter than the other, had his blonde in a cowlick hair style, topped off with a vibrant sunflower on the left side. Shyly fixing the strap to his olive green overalls, he smiled and waved at the class. The taller one having a slightly messier style within his ginger-orange hair, removed his cowboy hat confidently and ready to start.

"Hello, I'm Lucas Adams. Pleasure to meet y'all.." The blond said shyly, not attempting to hide his subtle southern accent.

"Howdy! M' Name's Claus Adams!" The ginger said with a slightly deeper and thicker accent. "If ya couldn't tell already, I'm Lucas' twin brother."

Ness' jaw was pretty much on the floor. He had been staring at the blonde for what seemed like 5 whole minutes, being sure to commit every detail to memory: blonde hair, vivid blue eyes, freckles that sqread like a dust of cinnamon across his face, red and yellow shirt, overalls and timbs. Now Ninten on the other hand, was pretty much about to faint.

"Helloooo new boyfriend..!" He squealed silently, swooning over the ginger.

"How about you two take the second to last station, yes?" Miss Marshmallow directed them to the station by the lovestruck pair. The twins nodded and made there way to the area as Ness was trying to pull himself together.

Throughout the whole lesson the two were focused yet distracted by the Adams twins.

Later within the day, the cousins were sitting with their little grouo of friends at one of the tables by the café.

"Sounds like you two can't keep it in your pants huh, Ness?" Kumatora said smugly.

"Can it, Tiger, I can say the same about you and Duster." Ness shot back. Paula was the second one to speak upon the matter.

"Gee, sound like you two are victims of 'Love at first sight.'" She said, giggling.

"But Paula, have you seen the ginger?" Ninten chimed. "Like, dios mio, he is hot."

"They're from Texas, too?" Said Tony.

"Yep!" With that, the rumored twins from Texas walked up to the chatting group. Speak of the handsome devils.

"Hey,"Lucas spoke up. "Are you two from Miss Marshmallow's cooking class?"

"U-Uhhh.." Ness was at a loss for words, his face matching the color of his Harley Quinn clothing. "Y-Yea..! We are! We are.."

"Y'all don't mind showing us where our next classes are, do ya?" Claus chimed in. Ninten was secretively fanning himself right now.

"S-Sure..!" The cousins said in unison.

The two stood up, then the four started making their way down the hallways of Retrobound College, beginning their newbound friendship.
