"uh..sorry!"
He calls after her as she runs away, turning the corner. Sighing, he turns around and starts to walk down the hall.
He spotted Amethyst and wanted to talk to her, but he held himself back as Levi yelled at him on the inside.
It was probably better if he didn't anyway. She acted as she hated him so much. Which she probably did.
And he didn't blame her at all. Levi was a jerk and even Levi himself knew that.
He was rude, disrespectful, and always thought highly of himself compared to others, and his height didn't humble him in the least. He was a major clean freak, which yes, he had diagnosed OCD along with alot of other things.
All five of them knew their separate problems. They're issues that some shared and others didn't. Only two of them didn't know.
It was more like one didn't except it, and one actually didn't understand.
Amethyst was the first person in the classroom, as always. She sat down in her normal spot, once again by the window, and lied her head down in her arms, waiting for class to start. She couldn't get the festival out of her head, it was taking over her thoughts preventing her to relax.
As Levi went to his separate classes, Ryuu went to his.
Walking into the classroom as he pushed up his big round glasses, the light reflecting off of them, and running his fingers through his golden orangish hair, his blue eyes not near as prominent as Levis, Or James (haha) instead they were more calm of a color, a pale blue that lit up in the light, but only slightly.
Looking for a seat to sit at, he spotted Amethyst and a big smile appeared on his face as he walked over to her, sitting down beside her.
"hey! Its Ryuu from lunch. I didn't know you had chemistry this hour!"
(Did you just read my mind? XD)
Amethyst lifted up her head, smiling as she set her eyes on Ryuu. "Hi, Ryuu! How did we not notice each other!?" She was glad to see a friendly face, a cute face at that. "I'm so glad we have this class together! Mrs. Wild told me that we are going to do a partner project, which made me sad at the time, but now I'm excited!"
(well…. I guess I did)
"Yeah me too! Though I've always loved Chemistry!"
He says with a white smile, his freckles covering his cheeks and nose, and infesting his forehead, though his hair covering most part of it. He played with his single diamond earring on his right ear lightly as he talked to her.
He was obviously and visibly nervous.
That anyone could tell.
"Ryuu, you look more nervous than I am and I need to win the festival competition against Levi. He hasn't lost all three times he's been class president and I don't stand a single chance." Amethyst said both seriously and jokingly. As more students filed in, the classroom got louder, this was always one of her loudest classes.
"Um well, sorry……im not very good at talking to people. They dont talk to me much either. And yeah, Levis pretty intimidating."
He says running his fingers through his hair once again.
"Oh, no need to be sorry! I understand that though. And I'm going to change that, I will talk to you whenever I have the chance." Amethyst smiled comfortingly. "I hope I can lead my class to win this year, they haven't won since Levi has been the president…"
"Well I'm looking forward to that. Though you don't have to. Oh, Levis gonna be hard to beat. But you could probably do it"
He says with a shy fake smile though it slowly turned into real one as he looked at her more.
"Oh thank you!" Amethyst said as the teacher walked in, starting class. Quickly turning to face the teacher instead of Ryuu, she pulled out a pencil. She was now excited for this class knowing Ryuu was in it.
Turning his attention to the teacher also as she took attendance, then started talking about the group project.
(Hey, should the group project be with just two people or three or more?)
(How about it should be for 3 people but there aren't enough people so there is one group of 2, so Amethyst and Ryuu end up being the group of 2)
(Well i was thinking one of us play an NPC wherer someone flirts with the other character whos not playing the NPC and idk interesting things.)
(Nice! So which do you wanna be? (Btw it's hilarious when people flirt with Ryuu))
(Well then I'll be the NPC. just so you know I've never played a flirty character, so it might not be the best at first…)
Amethyst sighed hearing the words "groups of three, please" from the teacher. She glanced over at Ryuu then back to the teacher as she continued explaining the project.
(Nice!)
After about ten minutes they all got partners, and somehow Ryuu, Amethyst, and this one random girl had been paired together. Well really, nobody wanted to be paired with her.
Amethyst lightly sighed again, putting on a smile for their other group member, Marigold. All you could say about her is that she's quite the character. All ready wanting the project to be done Amethyst got a school laptop, only one per group, and started signing in. Meanwhile, Marigold was already talking with Ryuu. "Soo, Ryuu is it?" She asked making heavy eye contact with him and putting her hand on his shoulder. "How are you today?" (Sorry if that was dumb idk how flirting works lol)
(Lol just make her come at him strong. It'll be hilarious XD)
"Oh, uhm……well…..Wakazashi. But I guess I'm in America now….so yeah Ryuu."
He says with a slight smile, not quite sure of what to do. Did she want him to help her with the project? Do her homework?
He was already extremely confused.
(Am I overthinking this… I probably am…)
(Um okay? It's your reply <3)
Marigold leaned a little closer to Ryuu, an innocent smile on her face while leaning her head on her arm, still making some eye contact. She pushed some of her hair behind her ear. "Have I ever told you that you actually look really good in glasses?" Amethyst gave Marigold a heavy glare from behind the laptop screen, even though she couldn't see it.
"Uhm, uh….thank you?"
He says taking his glasses off to clean them, though not putting them back on. That way she wouldn't give him another compliment his glasses anymore. It Should he go along with it? No these were just normal compliments. No biggy. Right?
She was a nice girl from what Ryuu could tell. Though Ryuu always tried to find the good in everyone. Even with a jerk like Levi. Though it was a little hard. But if he could find good things in Levi, he could find good things in this girl.
Marigold sat up straight again. She reached for the glasses, making skin contact with Ryuu's hand. A little smile was still on her lips as she grabbed his glasses. She didn't really care about his glasses. She put them on, making her have a problem seeing since she didn't need glasses. Amethyst sighed, rubbing her eyes, annoyed already.
"Um please give those back."
He says as she puts them on. His hand had moved back when she touched it.
"They're really fragile and I would rather them not breaking any time soon."
He says nervously, then looking at Amethyst, a sign saying help in his eyes.
Amethyst shook her head behind Marigold's back. "Hey, Marigold? I heard the teacher say to go get one of those papers, could you get it for me?" Marigold turned around and stood up. "Of course!" A fake smile was on Amethyst's face, disappearing as she left. She sighed. "Here Ryuu, take the laptop. I started doing some stuff, but maybe if you're busy then she won't mess with you." She passed the laptop to him with a smile.
