Hi guys! Look, I'm not dead! This was a random idea that popped into my head one night, so it honestly might be a little all over the place, but I swear it will get somewhere. Enjoy!
"And that concludes another stream. Thanks for hanging out with me and I hope my advice has helped you tonight. Oh, I also don't know if I'll be able to stream on Monday because I'm moving! I'll keep you posted on my Twitter with more information. May you all find happiness and love, and goodnight."
Ferdinand shut off his computer with a sigh, taking off his headphones and running a hand through his bangs. The stream had lasted slightly longer than anticipated, but it seemed that everyone was having their first week of school crushes that had to be addressed. He honestly wasn't expecting his stream to do as well as it was doing. He didn't think his advice was that good at first, but people kept coming back.
His phone went off and he jumped. He picked it up, smiling at the text.
Lorenz: Another amazing stream, Ferdinand. I'm impressed
Me: Thank you, Lorenz!
Lorenz: But I had no idea you were moving. Finally decided to get out of Enbarr's countryside?
Me: Haha...my dad got a new job
Lorenz: Where are you moving to?
Me: Garreg Mach. I start school there next Monday
Lorenz: Really? Well, I'll see you on Monday
Me: Wait, you go to GMH?
read 10:48 pm
Me: Lorenz Hellman Gloucester!
Lorenz: It's late. Goodnight, Ferdinand ;)
Ferdinand couldn't stop the smile from spreading on his face. At least he would have one friend at his new school. He hadn't seen Lorenz in years. The two lived in Faerghus for a few years and went to elementary school together. Ferdinand so happened to find Lorenz on Instagram one day and it was like the two had never separated. He yawned, moving to plug up his phone and then snuggling under his covers. It was Friday and they were leaving tomorrow so he figured he'd get as much sleep as he could. Maybe moving won't be so bad after all.
"We have two new students coming in on Monday. One of them is Coach Eisner's daughter and the other is a boy moving from Enbarr. Both are seniors. Who wants to take on the task of showing them around?" Edelgard looked up from her podium with a frown. "No one?"
"Listen, Edelgard," Claude started with a smirk, propping his feet up on the chair in front of him. "None of us want to get on Coach Eisner's bad side. Especially us athletes."
"He can't be that bad. Plus, you're the only athlete here, Claude."
"Well then, count me out. With my reputation, I'd rather not be the one to show her around."
Edelgard sighed, pinching the bridge of her nose. "Anyone else?" When no one answered, she sighed again. "Fine, Hubert and I will handle it."
"Do you know the boy's name?" Dorothea asked, absentmindedly twirling a piece of her hair.
"His name is Ferdinand von Aegir. Principal Rhea sent us his schedule and it says that he plans to participate in theatre, choir, and lacrosse."
"What about Coach Eisner's kid?"
"Her name is Byleth. She plans on taking band. Both want to be a part of the student council." There was a collective murmur at the thought of new student council members. "If no one has anything else to ask, you may all leave. Dorothea, Lorenz, can I talk to the two of you?"
"What's up, Edie?"
Hubert was the first to speak, turning to Lorenz. "You seem rather pleased with yourself, Gloucester. May I ask why?"
"No reason in particular. I'm just excited to see Ferdinand again."
"You know him?" Edelgard asked, sending a pointed look in Hubert's direction.
"He's an old friend of mine. We text all the time but I haven't seen him since elementary school."
"So why didn't you volunteer?"
"I'm sure this Byleth is a lovely girl and I would absolutely love to meet her, but I feel like Coach Eisner already wishes that he could pelt me in the face with a soccer ball. I'd rather not take my chances."
Edelgard didn't know whether to laugh or sigh. "Well, the two of you seem to have the most classes with him out of everyone in the council. Do try and befriend him."
"What about Byleth?"
"I have more classes with her than anyone else. Speaking of, can you come on Monday and take him to his second period, Lorenz?"
"Theatre? But of course! Anything to leave Professor Hanneman's class."
"Perfect. The two of you can leave now." She watched as the two left before turning to Hubert. "You look like you have something on your mind."
"Just thinking about how a friend of Lorenz certainly won't be a friend of mine."
"You can't judge him before you've even met him. Give him a chance, Hubert."
He let out a rather melodramatic sigh. "Only because you've asked so nicely."
I hope you guys enjoyed the first chapter! I have other things coming, but they're mainly challenges. So if you guys have any more story ideas, I'll gladly take them. Also, constructive criticism is welcome.
See you guys l8tr!
