CH. 3-School Day Blues
We were assigned our dorm and finally got to unpack things. "Is that the 'Battle of Survival' series you got there?" Star asked Harwyn. "Yes, what about it?" she questioned her. "I never got to read it, is it any good?" Star curious. Harwyn nodded and Star asked, "May I borrow it from you sometime?" "Sure." She said and smiled. I was putting out certain things at my nightstand. The ceramic bowl my friend made me to hold money in. A picture of my parents with me when I was little boy. I put a small metallic desk lamp in the color of red. Noticing Ryu putting all sorts of gadgets and an alarm clock. It was once of those old fashion ones that was analog and wind to set the alarm. "You're very tech savvy aren't you?" asking him. "Yeah, technology is the greatest thing ever." Replying in his own little bliss. I walked over to Harwyn and she had a lamp with some books on there. "Hey Harwyn, do you happen to be an athlete in the games that happened a couple years back?" I asked. "Yeah, I know. I don't look the same from a couple years back." She answered a little annoyed. I went over to Star and she had a press on light, a digital clock, and a picture of her family. "Your mom and dad must be proud of you two making it into Beacon." "Yes, they would be proud. I miss them every day." She smiled in gratitude. "What happened to them if I may ask?" asking her. "Don't you dare Star!" Ryner shouted angry. He was shaking furiously all of sudden. "Ryner, what's gotten into you?" I asked him. "Keep your nose out of our business and we'll keep out of yours. Got it?" he told me and pointed at me. It wasn't too long till he left out the room. It was pretty quiet in our room after that. I put some music on and looked at our schedule. There were a couple of class we had together but we seemed to be spread our diversely within our field. The more knowledge we can learn from each other. I walked out with my music and walking around the grounds to look where the classes were at. I saw Yang as I walked outside. She was just chilling at one of the benches. My heart raced a little and I was perspiring a bit. I went into my day dream then it was rudely interrupted by what Ryner said in the Emerald Forest. "If I didn't know better, you're embarrassed about crushing her. Are you scared or something Rai?" 'Stand up, wipe that sweat off, and breathe.' Prep talking myself in my head. Just when I was about to head over. There was a chicken clucking sound coming from behind me. Ryner had a devious grin, "Shut up man. I'm not a chicken. I was just about to head over there." A little angry. "A bit of advice, do not mess with her hair." He gave his advice. As I turned around and noticed that Yang was gone. I let out a frustrated sigh and went back to what I was doing. Ryner came up and tagged along. "From what I can tell, this is the first crush you've ever had huh?" he spoke up. "If I remember for your little tantrum that I stay out of your business and you'll stay out of mine, remember?" slightly irritated that I missed my chance. "I know a few things that might help you though." He insisted. "Why are you all buddy buddy now? Earlier, it seemed like you were out for blood, mine in particular." Mentioning to him. "When I'm ready to talk about things, I will. You should talk about weapons to her. Might get to know each other that way." He continued. "Look, I will do what I feel is right." Telling him. I looked at the map and schedule. Ryner kept going on with topics to talk about like the schools we went to, etc. We came back to the room and the girls were practicing hand to hand combat. "Cat fight I see." Ryner joke but quickly shut his mouth when they glared at him. "You guys like the uniforms we are going to wear?" I asked when I looked at mine. "It's an academy and its proper attire." Harwyn answered. "I'd like to wear whatever I want but rules are rules." Star replied. "I hate uniforms." Ryner told me. "Me too, me too Ryner." Saying and just looked at it with dislike. We all went to sleep and I thought about how tomorrow with classes and all. At third period we would meet for discussing about battle tactics with one of the professors. Morning came and Ryu's clock woke all of us up. I got up as well as he did to get ready. We all soon met for third period and sat at the same area. "Dream girl is coming this way." Ryu stated. I looked around and saw Yang heading to one of the desks. I just sat in my seat and admire her from afar since I kept thinking what to say. The others were focusing on the class like I should've been. Class came to an end and I spoke up to her, "Hi." She smiled and said, "Hi Rai." As she left, I thought how she knew my name. "Smooth move cassanova." Ryner said sarcastically. A punch in the arm and a slap upside the head from Star.
