"Won't you be late, if you stay?" Phoenix asked her, sliding the notebook back in to his bag. He didn't want her to go, but also didn't want her to get in trouble because of him.

"Nah, I still have like 7 minutes to get to class," Cicada waved him off. She could run and make it to class without leaving Phoenix early.

"Alright, fine. If you insist." Phoenix told her, holding his hands up defensively. "Now, random question time. What's your favorite book, and what character?" He asked, leaning forward on his palms.

Cicada had to think for a moment. She eventually leaned onto her hand, "Oh god that's such a difficult question. Um, probably Six of Crows and Kaz."

"I think I've heard of that before…. why is Kaz your favorite character?" Phoenix asked her, wanting to get to know her better. Something as simple as knowing a book character could really tell you a lot about a person.

"I don't know, I can just relate to him ya know?" Cicada responded with a light shrug. It was true, even if she basically admitted to relating to a just slightly psychotic character. Just slightly, "That and he can just be a mood at times."

"Makes sense. I like the strangest of characters when I read a good book." Phoenix shrugged a bit, randomly putting out that fact. There was no reasoning for his out of place comment, but it at least fit with their discussion.

Cicada nodded and stood up to take her dishes back in the cafeteria. She hoped Phoenix would be okay coming with her, "Yeah. It's always the strange ones that people get drawn too. Want to come with me to put the dishes away?"

"Oh, yeah, sure thing." Phoenix hummed, getting up as he pulled his backpack on. Once he had gathered his dishes and trash, he looked over to her with a bright smile. "Lead the way!"

Cicada laughed as she pulled her bag over her shoulder and began to walk back towards the cafeteria. She had a big smile on happy he was fine coming with, "Will do! Come along then, good sir."

"I'm coming, I'm coming." Phoenix hummed, attempting to keep up with her stride. His own smile wasn't wavering as he stayed in step right behind her. "I don't have class for another twenty minutes or so. So I can come all the way, with you."

"Oh, that's great!" Cicada smiled looking at Phoenix slowing down just slightly. She opened up the door to the cafeteria for Phoenix, and herself, "So after we drop off our dishes we head over to the building?"

"Yup! You said math, right?" Phoenix asked her, walking in through the door. Once in, he tossed his trash away and began to stack the dirty dishes in one of the bins.

Cicada did the same with her dishes before heading out of the cafeteria once more, "Yep. I think I know where the building is at."

"Do you, now? Well why don't you lead the way?" Phoenix joked, holding is arm out in an offering manner. "You don't have to, I just thought I'd let you give it a try."

Cicada took his arm laughing. She thought for a moment before walking towards the math building, "I want to at least try. So this way, if I'm wrong please correct me."

“Will do, missy.” Phoenix hummed, as he let her lead them on to the math building. He would adjust if they were going to wrong way. He wouldn’t want her being late because of him. “Now, What are you doing after classes?”

"I've got no plans, homework maybe," Cicada shrugged lightly as she kept walking. She made a light turn thinking this was a quick way to go, "Maybe take a nap. We'll see if I can do that. Want to hang out or something?"

"I didn't want to be so straightforward, but yeah. If you're up for it." Phoenix hummed, adjusting his bag strap awkwardly. "I don't want to push you, if you would prefer to stay home for the night."

"No, I want to hang out with you," Cicada went up and messed with her hair unconsciously. She really didn't think much about it, but she looked over at him smiling, "I really enjoy spending time with you. It's a lot of fun ya know?"

"You sure 'bout that? I've been told I'm the exact opposite." He admitted with an awkward laugh. "But as long as you're good, then I'll try and think of something for us to do."

"You don't have to think up something for us to do," Cicada responded with a bit of a laugh as she looked over at him, "Just hanging out and talking would be enough."

"You're sure? I wouldn't want to bore you." Phoenix told her, humming a bit. His smile was soft, as he glanced over at her.

"You won't bore me, promise," Cicada responded her smile soft as well. She was glad the two were going to hang out after school.

"In that case, I should still think of somewhere for us to hang out. I don't think we're allowed in each other's dorm rooms." Phoenix hummed, starting to get lost in thought. "Any… any ideas?"

"Any arcades nearby?" Cicada asked him as she kept walking towards the building. She checked her phone to see the time just to make sure she didn't need to book it, "That might be fun."

"I… I'm not sure actually." Phoenix hummed, trying to rack his brain. He only ever remembered going to places like Chuck E Cheese as a kid, but never really an arcade. "I'll have to look it up."

"Okay, I can do that too ya know," Cicada responded with a grin, "We can try kids places too. I don't think they're going to kick us out if we pay."

"Who knows, some people can just be plain rude." Phoenix pointed out, clicking his tongue. "Do you need to get there faster? Because I can run, and/or direct us to the math building."

"Yeah, also no. I'm getting us there just fine right?" Cicada asked looking over at him with crossed arms. She raised an eyebrow, "Also as to people being rude I'll just kick their ass and that solves that."
