“Um…I don’t think I know your name.”
Hunter asked the older girl.
Rachel Tanor (Lacrosse Club)
Commoner - Year 2 Class V
“Rachel. Now, tell me. What happened.”
“Ferris has been calling you an idiot and a pervert. I’ve heard all about it, but she’s a little too judgemental.” She grins. “I wanna hear your side of the story.”
“Well, on the first day, I ran here because I was late, and…I bumped into her, making her books flip over and giving her a bruise. And I apologized.”
“Yep. It’s all done. Good as new.” George hands the ARCUS to Majita.
“I’ll be here, so if you need anything, just come and ask.”
“And…? There oughta be more, right?”
Ferris is getting restless on the sidelines.
…“Theeen…Later, I tripped down the stairs as she was coming up and I whacked her in the face with my leg and landed with my hand on her…breast.”
“Thanks a bunch George. I’ll probably finish up my shelf before the days done. Expect to see me a lot here tommorow” Matija heads out and walks over to the Student Union
“Tripped? Y-you must have done it on purpose! Y-you!..” Ferris started again, but lost steam halfway through, before sitting down, burying her face in her hands.
“I think Ferris sees the situation now, right?” Rachel grins. She sweeps her brown hair behind her, smiling ever so slightly. “Now, it should be easier for you to make up. You don’t want to be stuck like a lamb out there in the field studies, bickering.”
“…”
Matija walks out of the engineering building and walks over to the Student Union and enters the Student Council room
You knock on the door, to see Leon, Faustus and Lifea sitting by the couches having drinks (coffee, tea).
James hasn’t been noticed by Hunter. Ferris seems to have forgotten him. James vanishes upstairs into his room and locks the door.
(How does Ferris forget someone that she doesn’t even know is there?? The other girl does, however.)
James unlocks the door and goes out, not hiding his existence. He walks down to join the group.
“Hi, I’m James,” he says, introducing himself to Rachel.
