a/n: self conscious naomi is cute naomi*

[Good Trouble]

"Oh my God," Veronica belted softly, "This place is iconic!"

Naomi closed the gate while Veronica was gushing about Cross Academy.

"It has its own fucking forest!" Veronica pointed at the thick trees besides them, "Bitch, I'm transferring."

Naomi laughed, "It's the middle of the semester you can't transfer."

Veronica ignored her, "How do the dorms look like?"

"See for yourself." Naomi led her towards the Sun dorms.

Veronuca stopped mid way through, "What are those?"

Naomi turned to see what Veronica was talking about: gates adorned those dormitories to keep class students out.

"The Moon dorms." Naomi informed, "These," she pointed infront of her, "are the Sun dorms."

Veronica raised an eyebrow, "Do the boys sleep there?"

I wish.

"No, there are two classes." Naomi continued, "Day class and Night class."

"Why?"

Naomi grabbed her friends wrist, "I'll explain inside."

She looked at the deep forest, Night classes are going on right now, and Yuki and Zero are patrolling.

"But I want to see the forest." Veronica whined.

"The prefects are patrolling. We can't get caught, Ronnie." Naomi said.

Veronica nodded, "Right, Right..."

They went inside the Sun dorms, Naomi, who had become accustomed to the luxury of it, didn't think anything of it. But Veronica, who was living in Yosagami's subpar foreign exchange dormitories, was in awe.

Thank God, we didn't run into any of the Night class students.

"This place is so much better than my crappy dorm." Veronica stated.

"Yeah, well, it's not cheap." Naomi said, "I'm only here because I won the scholarship."

"How much does tuition cost?" She asked.

"So much only snobby rich kids attend."

Veronica flinched, "Ugh, you're surrounded by assholes."

And vampires.

They started going up the stairs, "Come on, this way." Naomi whsipered.

Once, they arrived outside Naomi dorm, Naomi quitely turned the door knob. She didn't want to wake Asuna.

"I have a roomate, so we have to be quiet."

Veronica nodded and gave her a thumbs up.

They entered the room and saw Asuna, fast asleep.

Naomi let out a sigh relief, until Veronica whispered: "We have to change."

Shit!

Naomi tip toed towards her drawer and grabbed two pairs of pajamas, We're about the same size.

She motioned to the door, "The restrooms aren't far from here."

Veronica followed Naomi's footing as they made their way to the dormitories restroom. Naomi opened the door and let Veronica in first.

Veronica threw her hands up in the air, "Even the restrooms are better."

Naomi smiled as she closed the door behind her and threw a shirt and pair of sweatpants. Veronica put on the comfortable clonthing while Naomi kneeled down to open the cabinets under the sink.

There's always spare toothbrushes and toothpaste... Naomi reached her hand in and grabbed two unused tooth brushes, Jackpot.

"Here." She handed one of them to Veronica.

Naomi took off her top and reached for her baggy t-shirt, but then she heard the doorkob twist.

I didn't lock it!

"Quick hide." Naomi whispered to Veronica.

Veronica, with a toothbrush sticking out of her mouth, looked around frantically. Naomi pushed her into a stall and heard Veronica let out a small yell before she closed the stall.

The door opened and Naomi's eyes widen, "Zero!" She shrieked, "Get out!"

I'm not wearing a shirt!

Naomi threw her toothbrush at his face, "What are you doing in the girls restrooms, you creep?!"

Zero averted his gaze from Naomi's half-naked chest, "I was doing last minute rounds-"

Veronica giggled in the stall.

Zero snapped his head towards the sound as Naomi, kicked the stall door with a glare.

Naomi, blushing red, yelled, "Don't look, peeping tom!" She wrapped her arms around her exposed skin.

Stop looking! Stop looking!

Zero turned his face away but questioned her, nonetheless, "Who's in there?"

"Asuna." Naomi answered as she grabbed her shirt and hastily put it in on.

Zero nodded, but continued, "I thought you said you weren't coming until tomorrow."

"I don't need to explain myself to you." Naomi snapped, "Now, get out."

Zero shot her a glare. It was clear he wasn't going to leave until she answered him, so Naomi walked up towards him and grabbed his tie.

She pulled him down to her level and whispered in his ear, "There was a vampire. The school was the closest place." With that, Naomi pushed him roughly out the door, "Satisfied?" She asked.

Naomi didn't wait for him to reply, she had slammed the door.

Veronica peeked her head out the stall, "Sorry," and stepped out, "was he at least hot?"

Naomi, with her cheeks still burning red, said, "You do know he's still outside."

Veronica shrugged, "But is he hot?"

Yes, he is.

Naomi lied, "No."

Veronica frowned, "Boo."

Naomi scoffed and took out the contents of her pocket before taking off her skirt and replacing it with her cotton shorts.

Veronica looked at the polaroid, "Who's that?" She pointed at the man as she spit out into sink and rinsed her mouth.

"I don't know." Naomi confessed, "But looks like someone I know."

"Who?"

Naomi shook her head, "He's from the Night class and it's probably not important."

She grabbed the polaroid and crushed it; she dropped it into the trash can.

Veronica waited for Naomi to finish brushing her teeth as she grabbed the silver butterfly knife and unfurled.

"Alright, killer, what's this for?" Veronica inquired.

Naomi huffed and quickly lied, "My dad gave to me when I got here, you know, for protection."

Veronica nodded, "That makes sense." She handed it back to Naomi.

Veronica reached for the door knob but Naomi stopped her: "Wait."

Naomi peeked her head out to find, Zero resting his back against the wall.

She felt her cheeks begin to heat up.

Naomi glared, "We don't need an escort." She pushed Veronica out of Zero's line of sight.

"I disagree." Zero said bluntly.

Naomi tapped her foot in annoyance, "We know the way."

"Yes, but you might sneak off." Zero said.

Naomi breathed in, "I'm in pajamas, Zero. Where the hell do you think I'm going to go in pajamas?"

Zero merely stared at her.

"Fine!" She stepped and closed the door without letting Veronica out, "Then I have to tell you something."

Naomi breathed out, "Asuna's not in there. It's my friend, Veronica from another school."

Zero gave her a sharp look but before he could scold her, Naomi interrupted:

"She was with me when that happened. I couldn't just leave her." Naomi said.

God, this shirt's too big it looks like I'm not wearing shorts.

Why am I thinking about this, right now? That's not important.

Naomi flushed pink, This is embarrassing.

Zero sighed, "It's fine, let's go."

Naomi opened the door, "Come on, Ronnie."

Veronica smiled sheepishly, "You're not in trouble, are you?

"No," Zero answered for Naomi.

He put his hands in his pocket and walked beside them.

Naomi felt so short compared to the two of them. Veronica was three inches taller, while Zero, was at least a foot taller than, Naomi.

Cursed, tall people.

They walked in silence, until they reached the dorm and Naomi let Veronica go inside first.

Naomi gulped and reached for Zero's arm to stop him, "Are you going to tell the Headmaster?"

Zero shook his head.

Naomi raised an eyebrow, "Why not?"

"It's not your fault." He said.

"Right..." Zero began to pull away but Naomi held on and her demeanor switched into something menacing, "By the way, if you tell anyone you saw me half-naked. I will eviscerate you."
