Jeanne sat down at the small table in the coffee shop and wrapped her hand around the warm coffee cup. She had actually ordered a tea but her order was mixed up and she ended up with a latte—but she did not argue because they would just throw the latte down the drain. She was thankful that they had made it sweet because she never liked bitter things, and Arturia could back her up on that. The young girl rummaged through her bag and took out a binder and a textbook before opening them and starting her homework.

Her phone interrupted her as she changed pens for the headings and she reached into her pocket. She answered the phone after verifying the caller and sighed, "He bae," She greeted the other girl on the phone.

"Jeannneee," Arturia groaned from the other line, "Help me…"

"What's wrong?" Jeanne furrowed her brows and held her phone to her ear with her shoulder as she began to write her notes again.

"We need to talk, do you have time?"

"Yup, uh huh, I do." She hummed and nodded her head rapidly.

"Where are you right now?"

"I'm in the coffee shop…"

She heard Arturia rummaging through what sounded like her locker, "By the intersection?"

"No, the one by the mall." Jeanne answered as she looked at the important parts of the paragraph.

"I need to tell you what happened, oh my God, It's crazy."

"What happened?" she mumbled, "Is it serious?"

"Well…" The other female sighed, "Not that serious."

"Are you sure? I can head over right now."

"No, we can meet up in two hours, I also need to find all my fencing materials." Jeanne heard the woman complain as she locked the locker and exited the school.

"Okay, I hope so…"

"But we have to talk! You don't even understand! I did something so embarrassing, like, super embarrassing. Well, we'll talk about it then, see you."

"See you." She hung up her phone and went back to writing her notes. Jeanne figured that she would be able to finish her chemistry notes of the day before she headed for her best friend's house.

The blonde female had not noticed when someone sat in front of her until they tapped on the table. Her head slowly lifted from her paper as she wrote down the last word of the sentence and then her violet gaze came in contact with a crimson one. Her brows furrowed and she slightly tilted her head, "Um…Hello? Do you need something?"

The male before her grinned, revealing sharp canines. The man before her somewhat resembled a wolf, or a dog—she couldn't settle on only one, "Hello, sweetheart."

Jeanne blinked and then dropped her head back down to her notes, keeping absolutely silent.

"I'm sorry for interrupting you, but I wanted to know—"

"I'm sorry but I'm not interested." She continued her work and ignored the man in front of her. She always put school as a priority, after her family and her friends—that is. She was a very studious girl, and she never got in trouble with any teachers or other students…but there were a group of people that heavily disliked her and she was unsure why, considering she never hurt anyone.

"I'll buy you something. A donut maybe?" At the words, Jeanne lifted her head again and paid attention to him. His hair truly was one of a kind, blue that of cobalt, in a rather ridiculous hair-do and handsome features. He had silver earrings and the toothy grin was still plastered on his face. There was something about him that she recognized but she could not point it out.

"Thank you," she smiled, noting that she had been quite rude to him, "I am very flattered, but I really am not interested. You're handsome and all but, as you can see, I am studying right now." Her eyes flickered down to her notes and then back to him.

"You go to Fate Academy, yes?" He eyed the crest on her breast pocket, and then his ruby red eyes wandered from it.

She gently put her pen down and smiled, "Yes, I do." She watched his eyes, "Now, are there any more questions?" She crossed her arms over her chest so that he would get the hint that he should stop looking.

His red eyes drifted back up to her own, "I do, actually." He bounced his knee under the table and then rested his head on his palm, smile still on his lips, "How good is it?" He was quite interesting, he seemed to irritate her a little but at the same time, she had a liking to him.

Jeanne blinked and looked down at her coffee, "Um, it's okay I guess. You can get one. I think it's the Caramel Latte because this wasn't what I actually ordered."

The man's smile grew a little more and he laughed, "I was referring to the school."

Jeanne felt her cheeks become warm, "Right, um, the school's really good." So that was rather embarrassing, but probably nothing compared to what had Arturia shaking.

"I guess it must be if such a lovely lass likes it. Well, my little lady, see you around." He stood from the table and winked at her, "I would really love to meet you again. Maybe I can get your name?"

She shook her head with a smile on her lip balmed lips, "I don't usually give my name to strangers." She answered as she looked up at him.

The male laughed and nodded, "I understand. My older brother would always tell me that when I was younger. I'm Cú Chulainn, hopefully we meet again." He then waved her goodbye and she watched as he exited the coffee shop.

Jeanne bit her lower lip and shrugged, she began to pack her books and decided to head home early and probably get to Arturia's place earlier than expected too. She could help the other with dinner or something.

Jeanne arrived at her best friend's house an hour later because her brother had asked if she could have helped him with dinner. She dug the spare key from her jacket's pocket and entered the house. Noting the school shoes at the front door, she peaked her head in and smiled, "Arturia? You home yet?" She called about the house and then she heard shuffling upstairs and soon a scream came.

"Come up here! I can't even move from my bed, it's too much!" The short female ran up the staircase, her heart beating fast as she thought her friend was probably hurt or something.

"Arturia? Are you alright?" She barged into the other female's room, only to find her face shoved in the fluffy white pillow and she shook her head furiously.

"Jeanne! You won't believe what happened!" Her voice was muffled as she talked into the pillow.

Jeanne walked towards her friend, past the wardrobe and sword displays. She sat down next to her friend on the bed and rubbed her back, "Oh come one, bae, it can't be that bad."

"I totally messed up. I'm so stupid. You won't believe it."

"Aww, come on, baby, it's okay."

Arturia tilted her head so that it was no longer in the pillow, but rather facing her best friend. She pouted her lips a little and furrowed her brows, "I kissed Dia. It's not okay." Her cheeks flushed pink again.

Jeanne's eyes grew wide and she fully turned her body towards the green-eyed female, "What? No you're lying! What?"

"I mean, I didn't kiss kiss him, I kissed his cheek. But I said something so embarrassing afterwards. Ugh! I don't even want to show up for school tomorrow—kill me now." The Englishwoman had buried her face in the pillow again, kicking her bed and groaning, "Why?"

"You kissed him on the cheek? How did you even manage to do that?" Jeanne had calmed down a little but she was still a little surprised, "Either way, I need to know if you're serious about him. I really want to help you out, but I can only do so if you are absolutely serious about him."

Arturia groaned into her pillow again and kicked, "I don't know."

Jeanne shook her head and fell back on the bed next to her friend, "What did you even say?"

"Nothing. I just… ugh, I told him I was jealous, alright? Then I ran out like the Flash because, oh God, was that embarrassing!"

Jeanne laughed a little and turned to Arturia, "You're crazy. But, like, what did he say? How was he?"

The girl with the red face lifted her head and smiled a little, "He was blushing. You should have seen him, he looked so cute. His eyes were wide like saucers or something. You could compare him to a tomato, no joke."

The French female continued to laugh, "Oh my gosh! I wish I could have seen that. What else happened?"

"I told you that I ran out like I had wings or something. I'm telling you, all that happened was that I kissed him on the cheek. He was adorable when he was blushing, I'm telling you. But guess what he told me?"

"What? What did he say?" Jeanne sat up as the other girl did and they both sat cross-legged on the bed.

Arturia laughed a little as she rubbed her cheeks, trying to calm down her blushing, "You know how I told you that he dragged me to the infirmary," Jeanne nodded, "Yeah, he told me that he was jealous about Gilgamesh and I. He's adorable but so friggen stubborn, He just turned me down before anything even happened. Then I kissed him on the cheek, and I know he still likes me."

"So are you going after him? I could help you out."

"Do you think I should? I mean, he is our teacher." Arturia leaned against the bed's headboard.

Jeanne crossed her arms over her chest, "Well, if you really like him…"

"Would you help me out?"

"Mhm," the long-haired female nodded, "I will totally help you out. Plus, you met before he was a teacher. It really wouldn't be fair to just stop the relationship."

"Okay, so we play this smart, but he still needs to agree, right? But how do I get him to agree to a 'forbidden romance' between him and I?" Arturia turned to her best friend, she had a smile on her lips as she thought about it. There seemed like nothing would ever convince him.

"I'll think of something, don't worry. I got this." Jeanne grinned, her smile encouraging the female next to her.
