Espresso jumps in surprise and everyone turns to where the voice came from, they see a young girl who looks to be about 14. She walks up to Espresso and Madeleine immediately recognizes the girl. Espresso let's Madeleine go.

Madeleine- Latte? Is that you?
Latte- The one and only!
Espresso- What are you doing here??
Latte- Espresso tell me.. What did you promise me?

Espresso starts sweating a bit and sighs

Espresso- That I wouldn't get in any fights..
Latte- And what did you do?
Espresso- Well I.. Got in a fight..
Latte- And with Madeleine??? Isn't your room full of-

Espresso makes a hand sign for Latte to shut up and Latte does so. The group continued watching

Cocoa- Woah I didn't expect this to happen!
Mint choco- Yeah me neither-

Mint was expecting Almond to yell a "No one cares" or a "Shut up" but instead Almond stayed quiet, in fact he froze

Mint choco- Almond? You okay?
Almond- Uh.. Uh.. Yeah.. I'm fine..

Latte sees Almond and waves at him, the group looks at him in shock especially when he waves back a bit red

Cocoa- YOU KNOW THAT GIRL??
Almond- SHUSH STAY QUIET, I'LL EXPLAIN LATER-

Latte keeps scolding at Espresso even though at home is the opposite, normally being the oldest scolding the youngest but here it was the other way around.
The bell rang and everyone went inside, Latte looked at Espresso

Latte- You're lucky.. We'll talk more at home..

Latte goes inside and Espresso follows just to realize they're in the same class

Espresso- WE'RE IN THE SAME CLASS?? SERIOUSLY?? I HAVE TO DEAL WITH YOU ALL DAY NOW??
Latte- Yep! Now you have to deal with me at home and school!
Espresso- Fine.. But don't tell anyone that you're my sister, I don't want anyone to think I'm related to you.
Latte- Fine!

Latte said that confidently but she was clearly upset since she loves her brother dearly.

Espresso- It's really good to know that, stay away from me so you don't embarrass me!!!
Latte- Fine.. You go in first.

Espresso goes in and Latte stays outside the classroom, he sits down and the teacher starts talking

Teacher- Everyone! We have a new student joining us today

That's when Latte walks in and waves, Espresso makes a sign for her to shut her mouth and she rolls her eyes.

Teacher- Do you want to introduce yourself?
Latte- Well sure! Hello everyone! I'm Latte cookie! I'm 14 years old and I've been homeschooled for the past few days!
Teacher- How interesting! Now, everyone is gonna introduce theirselves by alphabetical order!

Cocoa starts to chuckle as Almond tries not to cry since he's always the first one.

Cocoa- Pfft-
Almond- I absolutely HATE my name

Cocoa is trying her best to not burst out laughing and the teacher says

Teacher- Almond cookie! You're up first!
Almond- Oh god-
Latte- Oh it's you again! Did those sunflowers come in handy?
Almond- Yeah they did! Thank you very much-!

Everyone looks at Almond with a shocked face, Almond blushes a bit

Latte- Well I didn't get your name the last time!
Almond- Well.. I'm Almond cookie.. I'm 15 and uh..
