This chapter is based on the orieentering race but has a lot of changes on the plot. Disclaimer: I think it is clear enough the fact that I don't own any of the characters from My candy love and the only thing I own is my character and the plot for this fanfic

When I got to school that morning it was a bit late, Violette told me I had to go for the clothes we would use for the race, I started walking quickly to classroom B and got my clothes, in my way to the bathroom to go to change I bumped into Nathaniel
"Oh, sorry hi Daphne" He apologized and helped me up, I looked up at him, he wasn't looking too happy
"It's fine, it was my fault, is there something wrong though? You seem a bit off"
He huffed and crossed his arms over his chest frowning at the wall "It's Castiel as hot headed as always! Since we both didn't have a partner for the race we were forced to team together and I already can't stand the thought"
I scowled, I can already imagine it, hearing their fights from the other side of the forest, although I do like both Nathaniel and Castiel I looked at Nathaniel with pity "I am sorry, I do hope you both don't have to stay together for too long... If he is being too stupid and mean though you can tell me and I'll protect you" I feigned thoughtness and stretched my arms, as it wasn't a serious statement he laughed at my joke
"Really? Thanks for your concern but I think I'll be fine" He smiled softly "See you later Daphne" With that I bid him goodbye and went to the bathroom.
After I had changed I saw how everyone was already with their partners but couldn't find mine anywhere, I spotted Castiel alone in the courtyard looking pretty mad and I had a guess as about why, with that in mind I neared him cautiously.
"Penny for your thoughts?" He turned up to look at me, I could swear his frown softened for a milisecond, but then again the sun was also too bright at the moment, he huffed from where he sat beneath the tree and as he saw how the sun was irritating me he made a gesture for me to sit by his side and I did, already relieved by the shadow the tree gave us.
"So, what's crawled under your skin?" I asked him again, some of his language had already rubbed off on me
"What? Simply the fucking fact that I got that asshole of Nathaniel as my partner for the stupid race!" He yelled at me angrily while I remained unphased already knowing his themper.
"Yeah I heard something about that... So what will you do about it?"
"I tried not coming but look at that, the principal won't let me since I already signed for it" He looked pretty mad, I didn't know why Nathaniel and him hated each other so much but Castiel was my friend, even more so than Nathaniel and I guessed he had his reasons
"Don't worry Cas, you won't have to go through this for too long, and hey, if you find a way to ditch Nathaniel you're always welcome with my team" I smiled at him and his frown softened before he smirked at me
"You're not that bad when you want to little girl" I said goodbye and when I was already inside the school again I remembered why I went to Castiel in the first place and almost face palmed myself, I didn't know where Lysander was! Though in his current state I don't think Castiel knew either, I started walking around the school again, looking everywhere for Lysander but I couldn't find him and no one seemed to know where he was either, I ended up on the staircase and then is when I heard his voice
"Ah, here you are, I was looking for you" He said walking towards me, I smiled, before I came to this school I didn't smile much but Castiel and Lysander had made me open up a bit more
"I was looking for you too, I think everyone is outside already waiting for the bus, will you come with me? I don't want to get separated again" I laughed but i could tell there was a faint blush on his face, I wondered why though, he gestured with his arm so I could take it.
"Well milady, I would be very pleased to go with you through this sea of people" He started the mockery and who was I to stop it? No one, so I followed him interwining our arms
"Why, thank you Mr. Ainsworth, always quite the gentleman you are, aren't you, then would you please guide us?"
"Gladly Mrs. Kaylock" He smiled and we started walking through the school
When we got to the courtyard where the bus was already waiting for us the principal started talking, but I kinda tuned her out without noticing, I was thinking about how I liked when Lysander and I would act all uptight like an old couple from the past century, it was really funny, we would start joking like that at random times and follow each other like it was our own private joke, I lost my train of thought wwhen everyone started walking towards the bus and Lysander gestured for me to follow.
Inside the bus I saw Rosalya and the girls talking on their seats
"Are you coming Guinevere?" He asked me from where he had just sat down, I smiled at him and sat at his right, we started talking on our way to where the orienteering race was going to be held
"I was once in this concert with my brother and cousins and then the guitarrist started throwing guitar picks at the audience, we were all trying to catch one and some fell to the floor, so my cousin tried to take one from the floor but couldn't see through the other people around and how dark it was, he then yelled at us happily saying he got one and as he showed it to us he realized it was just a piece of broken plastic" I told Lysander as he chuckled at my unlucky cousin and the funny anecdote, we had been telling stories the whole ride
"Ok, Ok my turn, there was this one time when I was sitting there with Leigh when Rosalya came to visit, Leigh and I were tired from making some posters as a favour to a friend entire day and there were sharpies all around the place, at that point we were telling every incoherence we found without even thinking twice about what we were saying, when she came inside I had a blanket around me and started saying 'When I die, don't wrap me up like a burrito, I don't wanna die a burrito' and Leigh said 'I won't, maybe taco, if you die a taco I can say you were better than taco bell' and Rosalya just stared at us in horror asking how many sharpies we had inhaled" It was now my turn to laugh I almost had tears in my eyes, before I could tell another story the bus stopped and the principal told us to go out
Once outside we found some students from other schools, I said hello to Dajan and Jade who wouldn't tell me what exactly they were going to do in the race, as we explored a voice called out to me
"Reed!" Said Dakota running up to us
