Sorry for my bad english.

Sally is a teenage girl, no matter if she is training to fight monsters. So is only natural to her be interested in the matters of heart. She was in her room looking to the window with eyes half closed and a red color on her cheeks. Ryan waved his hand on the front of her face but no response come from the girl.

-What is up with her? -Asked Koro.

-I don't know. -Said Ryan. -She's been like that since she came back from wherever she go this morning.

The two boys were curious of what would make their leader like that, Unícorn just was lying on her bed, headphones on the ears and reading a magazine without care with the world around her.

For Sally, is better go from the begining.

In the morning

Professor Port class

Sally entered in the classroom holding some books on her arms. Suddenly her attention was caught by a whistle and she turn her face to the left and her vision meet two boys wearing the school uniform. The one whistling have a long black hair tied in a ponytail and have a scar on his chin, but what really caught her attention was the boy on his side.

A black spiked hair pointing to his the back, similar to Koro. A pair of deeper black eyes. A serious face looking to the window. She could see some muscles through his uniform. A pale colored skin that showed that he come possibly from Atlas.

After Sally saw this guy, her heart start to bumping faster, she felt her cheeks warm a little, her eyes sparkled.

Professor Port arrived in the classroom, they all sat down and he began yet another speech about his glory days. Normally Sally would pay attention, but she did not take her eyes off the boy.

She was in love.

Present

Sally didn't know his name, but she will discover. After all, her heart was calling from this guy. How hard could be? She just need wait for tomorrow, find him and ask his name, nothing too hard. Her thoughts was interrupt when suddenly she felt something poking her head.

-So you are alive. -Asked Koro. -What is up with you?

-What do you mean?

-Well, you looks like just came back from the clouds.

-It is a girl secret, so mind your business.

She said and walk to the bathroom leaving both boys confused about their leader behavior, she was not acting normal.

-Uní. -Koro calls his teammate who get off the phones. -You are a girl so you know what is up with her?

-She is in love. -Unicorn said and put back the phones.

It just that? Of course would be tipical of a girl problem in Koro's opinion. Without nothing interesting to do, he careful grab the ABC book to no one of his teammates see and put between two books.

-I will go to the library.

He left the room. Ryan look to Unícorn then to the bathroom door thinking on Sally. With nothing to do in his dorm he decide to walk a little.

Corridors

In the next morning, Sally walk around on the school looking for the spiked haired boy. After looking in the cafetaria, the library, courtyard, arena, classrooms ,she finally found her recent crush in the corridors, standing besides a locker, a big compound bow in his back. He was talking with a guy with a heavy black armor who was guarding a huge claymore. She came closer slowly to them not notice her presence and hide behind of a locker so she could hear their talk.

-... nothing new actually. -Her crush spoke. -Have a girl what come early but still nothing interesting.

-I not expect something new. -Now the guy with armor spoke as he closed his locker. -Even this place being the best combat school of Remnant, still is rarely see a real fighters.

This guy is arrogant, Sally could see that.

-Still is early to jump to conclusions Darkus, let see what they can do in combat class first.

-Alright Kiron. The headmaster want the report of the mission. See you later.

-See ya.

Darkus leave and Kiron walk to the opposite direction.

-Kiron. -After hear the name, Sally whispered it with delight. -It is a pretty name.

Saly hide behind the locker and see Darkus walking in the direction of the exit. When she move to see Kiron, she see him turning to the left in the corridor, she followed him. When she caught up with Kiron, he was in front of a locker. He remove the bow from his back and a quiver from his waist, then place them inside the locker before close it. Once done guarding his weapon, he smelled something in the air.

-Smell of chocolate. -Kiron commented.

He turns around and meet a pair of chocolate colored eyes. He was caught by surprise from the sudden appearance of Sally who was standing in front of him.

-Hello! -She complimented him.

-Hello? -Kiron said not sure how to react.

-My names is Sally. -She said with a smile on her bright lips. -Sally Highwind.

-Kiron Black. -Kiron introduced himself and Sally just keep looking at him with a strange expression. He looked around unsure of what to do. -I on my way.

-Where are you going?

-To the cafeteria.

-Mind if I go with you?

Kiron didn't have a reason to say no, so as long he walk through the corridors, Sally was by his side, too much closer for his opinion.

Cafeteria

Once Kiron arrived in the cafeteria, still being followed by Sally, he got a tray of food and sit down to eat while Sally was in the other side of the table staring at him with eyes half close and smiling. The scene was so akward for him that he did not know if keep eating or keep watch on Sally to see if she is going to do something strange to him.

-Do you... have nothing to do now? -Kiron asked to Sally.

-Nope.

-Hey hey Kiron. -A carefree voice spoke making Kiron groan in annoyance. Sally see coming to their direction one of Kiron's teammates. It is the boy sitting on his side a day before, wearing a black overcoat but no shirt, gray jeans and boots. -We just came back and you already making a move on the girls? And you always criticize me.

-Shut up.

-Relax, I'm just happy that you decide to enjoy a little your time here in the school. We have to live y'know?

-Rarus, I swear the god... -With that Sally discover that his name is Rarus.

-A bucket of boredom you are. Oh well, if some girl ask, I will be in our dorm.

With that, Rarus left the cafeteria singing something.

-Rarus, huh? -Sally spoke. -He seems nice.

-It is because you don't know him.

-C'mon! If he is your teammates, it means that you two had to get along.

-How naive you are.

-Hey!

As they keep their talk, Sally did not notice a pair of golden eyes watching her from away. The expression in the owner's face was of annoyance.

Combat Arena

Later on that day, Kiron spend his afternoon training against droids. He hit a dagger in the last of one of the machines and finished the training program. He grab a towel and clean the sweat from his forehead, then notices a detail. Who give the towel to him?

-You are pretty good. -Said Sally, he open the mouth to speak but she continued to talk. -I arrived make a while. I see you training and didn't want to interrupt.

-Did she just answer a question that I was about to ask? -Kiron though to himself.

-You are pretty good. Who teach you to fight like that?

-My grandfather.

-He must be a great master.

-He is. What are you doing here anyway?

-Oh, I was walking when I heard the sounds of metal clashing. I was curious and decide to give a look to see what is going on, then I saw you training. You are from Atlas right? -Kiron was about to respond but she continue. -By the tone of your skin.

-She did again. -Kiron though. -Yes. I'm from Atlas.

-I'm from Mistral.

He look at her.

-I didn't asked. -Kiron said and Sally went silence, because she could easily see what was going to happen but right now, she saw nothing. Her semblance wasn't working. -I should know that was your semblance.

-How... did you...

-You don't tell your secrets, I don't will tell mine.

Kiron walk to the locker room to take a shower leaving Sally alone, curious about what happened to her semblance. When Kiron left the arena, Sally was on the wall waiting for him.

-Hey Kiron! I could use some help with my fighting style. Perhaps you could give me some tips?

-Yeah, perhaps...

With that, Sally start talk about her bullet ballet fighting style, but Kiron didn't pay much attention. It was cleary a one side conversation. Sally seemed to not mind since she was close to Kiron. The topic somehow change from her fighting style to anything she could think about. Beacon, Vale, her aunt, Mistral,her teammates. Kiron actually questioned Ryan's existence. Finally They arrived in Kiron's dorm.

-Kiron? -Sally called him.

-What?

-If you are not busy tomorrow... -She played with her hair in embarrassment, her face a little flushed. -... we could go to walk around Vale. Y'know, I just come to Beacon in the begining of year and I don't know Vale too much, so I thought that you could show me the city.

Kiron looked at her.

-I already have plans for tomorrow.

-Oh! Okay then. See you later.

-Bye.

He open and close the door leaving Sally alone in the corridor, this may take a while but she would not give up. She clenched her first determined in gain Kiron's heart, no matter what.

-Tsk tsk.

Is what Kiron heard after enter in his dorm. His partner Arno and Rarus were in the room, but his leader not.

-So, who is the girl? -Asked Arno.

-Her name is Sally.

-And what that plan you have tomorrow, huh? -Asked Rarus.

-You will know tomorrow.

-He don't have plans for tomorow.

-Shut up Arno.

-Kiron, you really lie to a girl who is clearly on you? -Asked Rarus.

-I swear, one more word about that and I will send both of you to the courtyard via a punch!

-Fine. -Said Rarus. - But I knew that you are interested in mans.

Needless to say, that night on Beacon become really agitated.

STRK dormroom

-What is going on over there?

Koro asked after start to hear noises what seemed be crushing rocks from the other side of the academy. Sally didn't pay attention. She was talking with Unicorn about Kiron and she actually was paying attention.

-... and I was planning meet him in the lunch tomorow so I could make some question to him and make him open himself to me a little.

-Do you realise that he don't have any plans for tomorrow right?

-Actually yes, but if he don't wanna go out with me at least he lied to not hurt my feelings.

-That is not mean that he is not interested in you?

-Yes, but I don't give up so easily. I just need make him know me better. Just some talks on the cafeteria and in the class, maybe ask him for help with my studies so we can spend some time together in the library and if I insist a little, maybe he give a chance to us.

Unicorn have some doubts about that. It would be better if she just go try with another guy but Sally seemed determined with this Kiron guy. After the conversation done, she hear the noises from the other side of the academy, but decide ignore and put the headphones. Whatever Sally was planning, she could only hope that she know what she doing.
