John, leave school. Taking his bag, John waited for his friends to leave homeroom before making his way to the main entrance, he needed a bit of time to think over what occurred recently. Along the way, John began hearing talk about him from his fellow students for beating the notorious Caliborn. And because of that fight, John's name and reputation spread throughout the entire school. "Great job dealing with that ass Cal." A student said as John passed by. "It wasn't much…" John replied meekly. "How about joining the Boxing Club John? You have the moves for it." Another student said. "Sorry man, I got the Magic Club." John replied. "What about a date John? I sure could use a strong man to protect me." One girl asked, standing in front of John. "Sorry, but I'm not the guy you're looking for." John apologized before walking around the girl.
Leaving the building, John could see that there was still quite a few people loitering around the School grounds. And after carefully examining those few people, John noticed that one of them just happen to be Roxy. John, approach Roxy. "Hi Roxy." John greeted, approaching Roxy. "Hey John. You okay?" Roxy asked. "Just thinking over what happened at lunch." John replied. "Yeah, that was pretty crazy… Don't worry about it John, it'll blow over in a week maybe." Roxy replied. "It's just that people is starting to look at me differently. They seem to forget the jokester that I was for the past three years. All because of one fight with one of the biggest jerk wads this school has to offer." John explained. "It's still the first day John, you'll have plenty of chances to change the hearts of men and women later." Roxy replied with reassurance. "Thanks, that means a lot." John thanked.
"Anyway, I kind of lost Rose. This school is pretty crowded for being private. You know where she is?" Roxy asked. "Rose must be at a club meeting. It may be the Writing Club today. Or was it the Fashion Club with Kanaya? The Occult Club?" John Replied, unsure of the answer. "There are Club meetings on the First Day? It's only Tuesday." Roxy asked. "Yeah, the Club Captains want to get their yearly plans out as quickly as possible. Giving them more time to do stuff in the year. I have one tomorrow for the Magic Club. And the day after that has one for the Kendo Club, the Robotics Team, Debate club, the Rifle Team, Jousting club, etc." John explained.
"Wait, Rifle Team? Jousting!? What other really dangerous clubs does this school have?" Roxy asked. "Uh… Does the Kung Fu Movie Rooftop Fight Scene Recreation Team count?" John asked awkwardly. "That's oddly specific and kind of awesome but… Yes, that is pretty dangerous… Where do I sign up?" Roxy answered. "All teams and clubs should looking for new members next week." John asked. "Great, gives me plenty of time to think of the things to join. Anyway, I'm pretty new to the area. Think you can show me around?" Roxy replied. "I'll be glad to help. Where do you want to start?" John replied. "How about a place to eat? I'm bit peckish right now." Roxy suggested. "Hungry eh? Well I know a good pizzeria just a few blocks away. There is also quite a few other shops if you need anything else, like books and other necessities. Follow me, I'll show you the way." John said as he began leading Roxy.
Down 55th street, spanning for four large blocks, was the Somnium Gemina Shopping District. Stores here distribute one of two tickets when purchases are made, golden Solar tickets and purple Lunar tickets. These tickets can be used to obtain discounts and other bonuses but only certain stores accepts certain tickets, with some not even accepting them at all. What's more is that the stores that accepts the golden tickets, only distributes purple tickets when purchases are made, and vice versa. This allows the stores in the area to circulate customers throughout and not just have every one store getting all the attention. And because of this system, the shopping district has become very successful and popular among the students of Skaia HS. John, enter Antonucci and Son's Pizzeria.
"Afternoon Mr. Antonucci." John greeted as he approached the counter. "Good afternoon my boy. What can I get you?" Antonucci asked. "The usual for me and… Uh… Hey Roxy, what do you want?" John began answering before turning to Roxy. "What are you having?" Roxy replied. "Spicy Supreme with extra sausage." John answered. "Then I'll have what he's having." Roxy answered. "Good choice. To stay or to go?" Antonucci replied. "To stay." John answered. "Very well, that will be $14.74" Antonucci said before John handed a twenty dollar bill and a golden ticket. "Keep the change Mr. Antonucci, it's my thanks for your food over the years." John replied. "Much appreciated Johnathan. Also, let me say that you have quite the lady accompanying you. Are you two together?" Antonucci commented as he handed John a purple ticket. "Don't jump to conclusions Mr. Antonucci. She's just a friend." John replied nervously. "Same words I used when I first met my wife. Luigi! We have orders!" Antonucci said before heading into the kitchen.
"So… We're together?" Roxy asked slyly. "Last I checked… No?" John answered, still trying to process the situation. "Oh… Is it because I won't make a good girlfriend?" Roxy said softly. "Oh no! It's not that you wouldn't be good girlfriend! In fact you would make a great girlfriend and I would be lucky to be with you for every waking moment… But uhhh… Umm… Nevermind… I just thought that since you had so many dudes hitting on you, you wouldn't be in the mood for a relationship. And it would just be completely awkward if we were, together together. But my whole point is that, it's not you. And I wouldn't mind being with you… Being with you as a friend not…" John rambled before being interrupted. "Dude, I was just messing around with you! You get so flustered about the whole relationship thing that it's funny!" Roxy laughed. John began to pout, feeling it was appropriate as what's left of his Prankster's Gambit meter began dropping. "Aww, don't be like that… Okay, I'm sorry for laughing…" Roxy apologized quietly, acting rather adorably. John resist the urge to accept the apology.
…
…
…
…
You failed to resist to the urge to accept the apology.
"Damn… You're just like Dave, I can't stay mad at you. Apology accepted." John replied with a smile. "YAY!" Roxy cheered, throwing her arms into the air. "Order's ready! Don't forget your drink!" Antonucci said, placing down a tray with four slices on the counter. "Thank you! Roxy get our drinks from the fridge. I'll take whatever you're getting." John said as he took the tray to a table. "How about some Faygo?" Roxy asked jokingly. "Gross no." John replied. "Kidding! Kidding. We're drinking some Cola!" Roxy yelled as she slammed two bottles down onto the table. "Thanks…" John replied, taking one of the bottles as Roxy sat down. "So, why the extra Sausage?" Roxie asked before taking a bite of her pizza slices. "Well, for me at least, sausage is one of the best things to put on a pizza, it gives it a lot of flavor and blends well with the other toppings. And I like having that meaty taste just fill my mouth… NO WAIT!" John explained before having second thoughts. "No, no, keep going. Just pretend I'm someone who's totally not judging you." Roxy said in a sarcastic and coy tone as her eyebrows wriggled funnily.
