Akiza was shown to her dorm room and she was surprised that it was rather spacey. Her guide and newfound friend, Darla, announced, "Ta-da! This is your new room! Decorate it however you like!"

Akiza scanned around and walked over to the bed, feeling the soft mattress with a hand. Darla set down Akiza's suitcase near the writing desk.

"Wow, it's so much better than I had expected for a college dorm," Akiza said in wonder.

Just then, her phone beeped, signaling that she had received a text message. Sheepishly, she pulled her phone out of her bag.

"Oooh, what is it? Is it your boyfriend? Do you have a boyfriend?" Darla interrogated as she tried to peep at the phone screen.

Having read the contents of Yusei's text, Akiza blushed and hid the phone back into her bag. Darla pouted, but noticed Akiza's colored cheeks. She laughed and giggled, "So you do have a boyfriend!"

Akiza lightly slapped her friend's shoulder, which only made Darla giggle some more and say over and over again, "Akiza has a boyfriend, Akiza has a boyfriend!"

When Darla finally calmed down, Akiza took out her phone again, cautiously, since she was dying to reply back.

She texted Yusei:

i wish u were here. i took a look at my room. not bad

Then, Akiza decided to snap a picture just to show him. Of course, Darla ended up in the picture, smiling and waving hello.

here u can see for yourself. btw thats my new bff darla

Darla crept over to Akiza and whispered, "Hey, who's your boyfriend? What's his name?"

Akiza hesitated before answering, "Yusei Fudo."

She glanced at Darla to see her reaction. The brown-haired stared back at Akiza with wide, baby blue eyes. They registered shock, then disbelief.

"No. Way. Seriously?"

Akiza nodded, blushing. After all, her boyfriend was the Fortune Cup champion, and also part of Team 5Ds, who was the winner of the World Racing Grand Prix.

Darla sucked in her breath, then let it out as she turned her head to stare straight at Akiza. Realization covered her features when stuttered, "Wait, you're the Akiza Izinski?"

Akiza nodded again. She hadn't told anybody she had met so far at college her full name. She wasn't sure she wanted the popularity. She rather she just be with Yusei, that's all.

"Can you keep this a secret?" Akiza asked quietly and Darla fervently nodded.

"Of course, you're my new best friend!" Darla exclaimed and Akiza was reassured.

After some time of exploring her room, Darla left, saying she had to get her own room situated. However, before she left, Darla reminded Akiza to come down and get some lunch.

"I'll wait for you at the Commons Hall. So hurry up and change into something nicer! It's your first day!" She said before disappearing.

Akiza hastily changed and texted Yusei quickly, signing off with the words "love you."

She smoothed down her floral shirt. Then, breathing deeply, she exited her room. Here comes her first debut at school.
