Akko

Was Diana really nice? No, she'd never accept something as humiliating as that. She quietly pushed the thought entirely away from her mind, settling back into her sturdy wooden chair that she sat on carefully during class. Her notes consisted of pretty much nothing, despite Akko being a scholar student. The only reason Akko had made it into Luna Nova was because of the fact that she had outstanding marks on her final exams. She didn't really study or pay attention, her mind always wondering to different parts of the day.

Akko had dreamed of being a performer, but that dream died off quickly when her parents scolded her for her foolish thoughts. Shiny Chariot, or Chariot du Nord was Akko's childhood legend. Chariot had inspired her to work towards her dreams of being a stage performer, particularly a Broadway actress. But here Akko sat, quietly doodling pictures in her scrappy notebook and torn up pencil.

Social Communications was fun, and Akko desperately needed to learn herself how to communicate to others. She was never great at expressing herself in the mists of problems and stressful situations, and Akko never really was good with talking to people. Despite how Akko acted and appeared on the outside, she truly just wanted to have friends that she could laugh and talk to. She had an outgoing personality and the keen eye for fun and other things for sorts, so when Akko moved to England and lost her fun, outgoing personality completely...Akko reverted to being alone. To ignoring what her professors yelled at her to do and studied the English language. Akko just needed to slip by and get her Social Communications degree, get a good job, move back to Japan, and live a long, happy life.

When the bell signaled the end of class by blaring in everyone's ears, Akko grabbed her bag quickly and held it close to her body, scrunching it up close and trying to sneak by the glaring professor. Miss Nelson's class was always the hardest to sneak by in, and the brunette teacher spoke in a harsh tone, "Miss Kagari, I was looking forwards to speaking with you."

Akko's face scrunched up and her nose retreated a little, threading into her facial features. Akko turned around, her cheeks flaring as Diana and her pets walked by, snickering to themselves. Akko felt Diana's eyes contently staring holes into Akko's side, and she just wanted to disappear from that gaze almost immediately. "Same as I…" Akko gave a sheepish grin and shrunk down even more.

"I believe you should look into a tutor, Miss Kagari. Your grades have gone down considerably, and that's not good," Miss Nelson's face contorted into a soft smile to make the exchange a little more comfortable for Akko.

Akko glanced past Nelson, seeing Diana walk away with Hannah and Barbara. A soft blush dusted her cheeks as she looked down at her feet, the worn sneakers looking gross next to Diana's knee-high brown Steve Madden boots. "Okay.." Akko murmured silently.

Nelson stifled a yawn and nodded, "Alright. You can go now, Miss Kagari."

A tutor? Akko couldn't even think about being ordered around by some random guy, being told to do things she didn't understand. A college tutor...how embarrassing. Negative thoughts plagued Akko's mind entirely as she briskly strode down the cold stone path to the Student Center that held the cafeteria and club board. Her crimson eyes sparkled with hot tears that threatened to spill over as Akko pulled the tag off the small flyer and stared at the number that stuck beneath it. (01935) 678994 the number being polished to perfection on the small sheet of paper.

The name that held in neat cursive handwriting was "Diana Cavendish".

Diana

Diana's teeth chattered against the blowing wind, her phone giving a soft beep. The phone in her coat pocket then started to stir into a deep ring, notifying her of an incoming call.

Diana carefully pulled out the glossy phone, her breath just a deep exhale of mist as she answered the call thoughtfully. "Hello, is this Diana Cavendish?" a soft squeak of a voice came from over the whirl of wind.

"Yes, this is she. And who may you be?" Diana said carefully, in soft spurts of breath. "This is Akko Kagari, from Psychology," the sigh of a voice spoke from the chattering phone.

Diana felt her eyes widen slightly and her cheeks turn from a light pink to a shade darker. She thought quietly about her response, before the soft voice recovered quickly and said, "I'm looking for a tutor, and I pulled your name from the flyer. Are you free to tutor someone?"

Akko darted right to the point, not giving a second for Diana to respond truthfully. "Yes, I am free currently to tutor somebody. When would you like to meet?" Diana asked between chattering spurts of breath and the constant hum of her teeth. The wind pounded on Diana's temples aggressively, forming a mediocre headache.

"Wednesday?" Akko's voice gave way to an idea.

"That's fine with me. See you soon then, Akko," Diana averted her thoughts to ending the call when Akko's voice piped up over the wind,

"Alright Diana. See you so-" BEEP!

Diana's eyes widened as she gave way a soft laugh, remembering to apologize to Akko for hanging up on her.
