Madeleine came to school still thinking about last night, he still wanted to be with Espresso despite what happened between their families, Madeleine just wanted to suffocate Espresso with his hugs until he said he loved him, okay those were definitely intrusive thoughts, but what Madeleine really wanted was just to be with him.
He walked in the school already searching for Espresso since he always comes early, but Espresso was nowhere to be found, he wasn't in his favorite places, the stairs, the library or the janitor closet! Where could he be? After some time of searching he finally found Espresso, he was sitting on a bench in the back of the school, but someone else was with him.. Someone with white and light yellow hair, no it wasn't Sparkling, it was his brother, Alcohol cookie. What was he doing with Espresso??

Madeleine- Espresso?
Espresso- Oh, hello there.
Madeleine- What are you doing here with him?
Alcohol- We are just talking, why is that any of your business?
Madeleine- Who is he anyways??
Espresso- This is Alcohol, my ex-boyfriend
Madeleine- WHAT!?

Ex-boyfriend??? Espresso dated that guy??? No no no.. That couldn't be!! Madeleine felt something growing inside him.. A weird feeling.. What could it be?

Espresso- What?
Madeleine- Uh nothing..
Espresso- You're acting really weird.. I think you should leave
Madeleine- And leave you alone with that guy!? Never!!!
Alcohol- Excuse me?
Espresso- Madeleine what's wrong with you!?
Madeleine- But I..
Espresso- LEAVE!! I don't want you here
Madeleine- FINE!

Madeleine leaves while Alcohol smirks, meanwhile he keeps thinking "Who does that guy think he is?? I bet he's not even good enough for Espresso.. I am!! Espresso is mine.. Oh my divine.. What's wrong with me?? I never had this kind of thoughts!! This weird feeling is really messing with my head.. Maybe my friends can help?"

Madeleine walked to his friend who were arguing as always, this time they were having an insult fight

Mint choco- I'M NOT UGLY, YOU'RE THE ONE THAT LOOKS LIKE SHREK
Almond- SHUT UP, HOT WHEELS' MECHANIC
Mint choco- I'M LITERALLY THE SAME HEIGHT AS YOU-
Almond- NUH UH. YOU'RE SO DUMB YOU THOUGHT BABIES WERE MADE IN CABBAGES-
Mint choco- YOU'RE SO UGLY THAT WHEN YOU WERE BORN YOUR MOM ASKED THE NURSE IF SHE COULD GET REFUND!!
Almond- WITH YOU WAS THE SAME THING THE ONLY DIFFERENCE WAS THAT THE NURSE SAID NO BUT WHEN SHE SAW YOU THE NURSE ASKED YOUR MOM IF SHE HAD THE RECEIPT!!

Madeleine looked over at Latte and she just shrugged while Cocoa laughed her ass off

Madeleine- Why are you guys doing this again?
Almond- Look, don't ask.
Madeleine- Anyways.. I need your help with something

The others sat down

Almond- Let me guess, it has something to do with Espresso?
Madeleine- Yes- how did you know?
Cocoa- It's not really hard to know. So let me guess, did he reject you?
Madeleine- No.
Almond- Leave you?
Madeleine- No-
Latte- Replace you??
Madeleine- Kind of?? Why are you guys assuming all of this?
Mint choco- So he found someone better?
Madeleine- That guy isn't better..

They all looked at eachother and finally realized what he meant.

Almond- Madeleine are you jealous?
Madeleine- What?? Jealous?? No!!
Almond- It seems like it
Cocoa- Who is the guy anyway?
Madeleine- Alcohol cookie
Latte- Sparkling's brother and Espresso's ex?
Madeleine- Yes..
Latte- Yeah you're jealous, and in denial.
Madeleine- I'M NOT JEALOUS!! I'M WEIRD!!

Everyone in the school heard Madeleine yelling and looked at him

Cocoa- Madeleine you didn't have to yell that-
Madeleine- Well what do I do??
Mint choco- Well you can talk to Espresso about how you feel
Almond- Ooooor you can cry in the shower just like Mint!

Cocoa punches him in the arm

Almond- Ow!
Cocoa- You can also confront alcohol
Madeleine- Mhm... Mhm.. Latte what do I do?
Latte- Why are you asking me??
Madeleine- Because I can't decide which one to do and you're the only one that didn't give a suggestion.
Latte- I suggest you do what Cocoa says and if it doesn't work then do what Mint said. If none of that works then cry in the shower like Al said.
Madeleine- Seems fair, thanks guys!! Wish me luck! Byee!!

They all say bye and wish him luck

Almond- Wait did you call me Al?
Latte- Shush

Madeleine walks around to find Alcohol, hoping he'd be alone, but unfortunately the bell rang before he could do so.
The class goes by and Madeleine's thoughts were worse than ever "When I find him.. I'm gonna punch him until he leaves Espresso alone for good.. That guy is bad news, I just know it.. I'm gonna kick his ass and make him wish he was never born.. He doesn't deserve the air he breathes.. Espresso deserves better than him.. That guy doesn't deserve Espresso.. I do!!"
Madeleine kept having these thoughts, about how much he wanted to get rid of Alcohol, just so he could have Espresso all to himself. When the bell finally rang he was ready to confront the enemy
