The Hunt

Monday - End of Summer

Yuzuru was packing his books and notes into his backpack, wondering how his first day at the University of Toronto going to be.

On one hand, he was glad that Waseda University let him take some classes at 'U of T' that would count towards his subjects at Waseda so he can finish them sooner and then focus just on his final research paper.
On the other hand, he would rather be for 10 hours on the ice than an hour in a University where he wasn't sure if his level of English is sufficient and what the reaction of his classmates going to be.

Luckily he had only a few classes a week, still keeping the majority of his subjects in the long-distance Waseda program.

He put on black trousers and a black t-shirt, trying to look as casual as possible, and got on his way.

His bus stop was only a short walk from his flat and what was even better, the University was only a 20min bus drive from the Cricket Club, therefore he could go straight to his practice afterward.
He agreed with Brian that his skates will be kept at TCC (Cricket Club), in the manager's office, locked, with only Yuzuru and two other people having the key.
This way he didn't have to drag his suitcase along and have only a small sports bag.

After several minutes on the bus, he was standing in front of a massive gothic building surrounded by a beautiful park.
He absolutely loved that view and took a deep breath with pleased smile.

Rachel was sitting under a tree, going quickly through her friend's notes and trying to memorize as much as possible for their upcoming class. She was quite smart but she wasn't a brainiac, and now when her dad cut most of her income due to the big spendings, she needed to make sure to get as good grades as possible. She needed to impress him and hopefully keep him covering her credit card spendings.

Suddenly her friend started to nudge her, looking somewhere into the distance.

-I think that's him!

-Yuzuru?

Rachel quickly raised her head, tracing the look of her friend.

-It must be him! He looks really good all in black!

-Yeah, but I was kind of still hoping he would be more buffed. Being an Olympic champion and all that. But seems he looks exactly like on those pictures we googled.
Anyway, let's go, Ella! Let the hunt begin!

Rachel got up, tucking on her blouse to bring it more down and reveal a little bit more of her cleavage.

-Lipstick good?

-Yes...

-Hair good?

-Yes...

They started to walk towards the University entrance, trying to match his speed to end up walking right in front of him.

Yuzuru turned off his mp3 player and looked ahead, hoping he won't have trouble finding his first class. But once he did though, he immediately noticed some girl's butt in tight jeans walking right in front of him. He started to walk up the entrance stairs, darting with his eyes all around but still here and there ending up checking the girl out.
As if she could feel his eyes on him she turned around, her loose hair swinging around and she smiled at him. He quickly looked away, his ears red.

Yuzuru got to the main entrance, checking the board with a floor plan, trying to find his class.

-Would you need help?

He turned to the voice, his eyes ending up for half a second on a very revealing cleavage and then quickly darting up to the girl's face.
It was again the same one that walked in front of him.

-Erh, Hello. Thank you. I need to find an English class? Room 301.

She leaned closer to the board and Yuzuru noticed a soft whiff of a lavender mixing with the air.
The girl pointed at the map.

-There it is, 3rd floor. On the left side once you get off the elevator. Though you look more like the kind of guy who takes the stairs....

And she shamelessly scanned his figure, smiling.

-I am Rachel by the way and this is my friend, Ella - pointing at the girl standing next to her, but keeping her eyes on Yuzuru.

-Nice to meet you Rachel and....E....Erra?....Sorry...

Yuzuru blushed and hanged his head.

-I have to go to the class now but thank you very much for your help.

He quickly bowed but realizing it always looks weird to all foreigners, he didn't finish the bow and just quickly turned around and started to walk fast up the stairs, feeling guilty for first looking onto that girl's cleavage than to her eyes.

"Oh, why does this keep happening to me! Did Canadian girls never hear of a sweater? I must look like such a pervert now!"

-Best. buy. EVER!

-Huh? - Ella looked at her friend slightly confused.

-The outfit!! It works every time!

They both started to laugh and went to their class.

Yuzuru got to the auditorium for his class and started to take the steps up to some of the free seats. He was feeling awkward as everybody was turning around and looking at him.
He couldn't figure out why.

"Is there something on my face? Nobody usually recognizes me here in Canada. What the hell? Oh, it must be that I am Asian. Just something different for them."

He sat down, looked around, seeing at least a dozen of other Asian students.

Yuzuru decided to leave it be and opened his notes, making sure he finally conquers that horrible language.
