"Cleavon! Cleavon!" I flinched as soon as i entered the room to see Valerie panicking as she ran up to me.

"Oh hey Rie, Your bag.. uhm.. you kinda left it at the field so.." I scratched my head as stared at me with her mouth agape.

"Y-You.. You brought it with you?" She stammered.

"Yeah i mean i thought you wouldn't go back so i just brought it with me as i planned to give it to you in the classroom." I smiled as she lets out i handed the bag to her.

"I didn't actually think you would bring it with you.." She uttered and looked at her bag.

"What's the matter anyway?" I asked and furrowed my brows.

"If you left it there it would be long gone.." She bit her bottom lip as i chuckled and hummed.

"So what's still bothering you?" I asked as she shook her head.

"It's just.. i really didn't expect that.." She gave me a genuine smile. "Thank you.." She muttered lowly as i blinked a few times and smiled back as i walked towards my sit.

3rd Person's POV

Valerie stares at Cleavon who's only rummaging through her bag to take her things out.

'She's really nice.. i'm glad i'm friends with her..' Valerie sighs dreamingly and placed her bag down.

Throughout the class, she would stare at the certain dark-haired girl in admiration without the said girl knowing, it might be weird but hey, she likes her attitude very much and on top of that she felt insanely lucky to meet Cleavon and treat her as a friend.

It might not be a big deal but for Valerie? That was an insanely big deal for her in a good way too.

"Va-lerie!" Raya called as her voice echoed through the hallways as Valerie turned around to see her best friend with a raging and angry look as Valerie mockingly laughed.

Raya ran towards her and huffed out angrily.

"You didn't wake me up!" She exclaimed as Valerie kept laughing.

"Serves you right then! Who am i? Your alarm clock?" Valerie stuck her tongue out to tease the still furious girl as Raya crossed her arms.

"Good thing my cat woke me up or i could've not been here to attend the 2nd period!" Raya exclaimed as they walked towards their next class.

"Yeah yeah.." Valerie rolled her eyes as she hugs her bag as they entered the class. "Cleavon!" She calls and dropped her bag as the dark-haired girl turns around to be met by a bear hug by Valerie.

"Woah, hey there Valerie and Raya." Cleavon smiled as Raya smiled back and furrows her brows on the tanned-skinned Latina.

"What happened? Valerie is suddenly affectionate to someone she just met?" Raya blinked a few times in bewilderment and so did the dark-haired girl the said tanned-girl is currently hanging onto.

"Uhm.. what do you mean?" Cleavon asked as Raya looks up at her.

"Oh, Valerie isn't really affectionate and touchy on the people she just met she is maybe friendly but never affectionate and it just weirded me out to see her hugging you like that," Raya stated as the two of them gave me a questioning look on the Latina.

"I owe her one for carrying my bag with her when i left it at the field." Valerie gave them a toothy smile as Raya furrows her brows once again.

"That's like.. such a small thing, Valerie." Raya narrowed her eyes.

"You know me." Valerie lets go and leans closer to Raya. "Besides, she's very nice!" Valerie whispered-yelled to her best friend.

"You only met her yesterday, Valerie." Raya rolled her eyes.

"I know but i feel strangely comfortable when i'm around her!" Valerie claps her hands as the dark-haired girl awkwardly walked away.

The bell rung once again as Vanessa found her way beside Estelle who reserved a seat for her.

"Thanks, Star." She smiles as Estelle smiled back as the professor enters the room.

The class ended as it was already break time..

"Oh! Do you want to eat with us?!" Estelle excitedly asked as the brunette raised a brow as she wore her backpack.

"Yes! we would love to eat with you!" Natalia quickly intertwined her arms with Cleavon as they flinched. "I'm Natalia Vermillion!" Natalia gave her a small wave.

"Estelle! Estelle Pennhurst but i prefer to be called Star." Estelle smiled as they exited the room.

"So, who's this other friend that we'll be joining us?" Cleavon asked excitedly as Estelle giggled. The girl definitely don't mind meeting more friends, the more the merrier indeed.

"You'll meet her soon!"

"Sure, sounds exciting." Natalia smiled, they started walking down the noisy and busy hall as they finally arrived and entered the big and wide cafeteria full of students.

"Oh! Yahoo~" Someone called as the small group whipped their heads towards the direction of the voice in sync, only to see Valerie skipping her way towards a certain brunette before attacking her with a bear hug yet again.

"O-Ooh.." Cleavon awkwardly giggled, not really used to her affection since they only met each other yesterday.

"Cleavon! My sweet little angel who came from the heavens above!" Valerie snuggled closer as Raya gave her a look for the nth time today.

"I'm not that small, Valerie." Cleavon giggled as Natalia nearby snickered and laughed. "Besides, I think I have an average height of a college student!" She added.

"Yeah sure." Natalia sarcastically giggled as Cleavon gave her a small gasp.

"Is that sarcasm? Hey! You're shorter than me too!" The brunette kept her mouth agape in bewilderment as the other girls laughed. "And besides.. i don't drink milk just to make me taller.." She murmured.

"Wha--?!"

"In my perspective... you're short." Valerie muffled out, interrupting the offended (not really) gray-haired girl not far beside them as she snuggled in the dark-haired girl's soft and silky hair.

"Valerie! Look how uncomfortable she is!" Raya exclaimed as Valerie gave her Raya sharp look before cheekily smiling.

"Aww~ You want hugs too? You could have just said so~" Valerie teasingly cooed as she lets go and skipped her way towards Raya.

"What? Ew! No! Get off me!"

"Oh~ Come on! I know you want this!"

"No! Help! Vanessa! Natalia!"

The two kept fighting and taunting each other as Estelle suddenly screamed catching the attention of Cleavon and Natalia.

"Kimberly! Hi!" Estelle ran towards a Copper-colored-haired girl as the brunette and the ash haired girl quickly followed behind while the other two kept teasing each other.

Estelle sat beside the said copper-colored-haired girl. "Kimmy! This is Cleavon and Natalia! And this is Kimberly!" Estelle giggled as she pointed at Kimberly as the girl dropped her pencil before smiling at the two.

"Kimberly Rainheart, Pleasure to meet you, ladies." The Copper-colored-haired girl bowed and smiled charmingly, the two was taken aback by the Girl's formal and charming introduction.

"Hey, I'm Natalia Vermillion." Natalia smiled as she intertwined her arms onto Cleavon again.

"I'm Cleavon Freyja and it's a pleasure to meet you too!" The said sunshine squeals with her usual bubbly presence as Kimberly smiled.

"You're that girl I met at the convenience store, right?" Kimberly asked as Vanessa confusingly tilted her head. "I was the girl with the notebook while you were the girl beside me who was eating a cup of noodle." Kimberly added ending with a small giggle.

"Oh! Oh my god..." Cleavon mumbled as she lets out an embarrassed laugh. "That was you... and yeah I was having my breakfast there." She nodded.

"Okay, I'm going in line now anyone of you wants to come with me?" Natalia drops her bag on the table before taking her wallet as she pointed at the girls with a questioning look.

"Me, I do." The brunette who was just beside her stood up as placed her bag on the table as they walked towards the line.

"You brought pretty girls, nice." Kimberly gave Estelle a thumbs-up as the shorter girl rolled her eyes.

"Oh, shut you and your gay pencil." Estelle rolled her eyes and chuckled afterward as Kimberly gasped.

"My pencil is not gay! It's just rainbow!" Kimberly exclaimed as she shoved the pencil on Estelle's face.

"Hey guys, we brought someone." Vanessa smiled as she placed down the foods as Natalia dragged Kynt, Valerie, and Raya with them.

"Hi! My name is Valerie Suarez! Nice to meet you girls!" Valerie gave them a wave as they waved back.

"Raya Shien Zayen." Raya smiled as they sat down.

"Oh uhm... This is awkward.." Kynt rubbed his nape as all of them turned their head on him.

"Aren't you always?"

"Raya!"
