The chatter of students echoed in the hallways as I exited my first class of the day, but even after spending those sixty minutes in that large lecture room, I already knew I would come to enjoy Professor Hanji's teachings; they had a very lively attitude and personality, and I knew I'd never get bored in that class.

I made my way past the vast sea of students, the sound of backpacks jostling against each other, and the babblings of the conversation sounded clear in the air as I ventured through and out of the building and walked along the main sidewalks that travels all the way around campus.

I made plans with Ymir in the morning, after she had time to wake up and wouldn't act all cranky, and told her we were going to eat lunch together in the main eatery, and she of course accepted the invitation after I smothered her with a pillow when she rejected the plans several times. She should be very lucky she has me because if she didn't, she would just be holed up in our dorm all day long with absolutely nothing to do.

Even though we knew each other for less than a week, I already felt like she would become someone I would hold close and dear to me for the rest of my time at Paradise University, and even maybe after we graduate.

A smile was placed onto my face at the very thought, and I held an extra skip in my step when I rounded the corner to the large brick building I recognized to be the one I nearly ran into with Jean and Sasha, but I quickly halted in my tracks at the sight before me.

A certain tall brunette girl and a short blonde were talking amongst each other, both blushing madly as they gripped their books and bags in their hands. They stood by the empty bench in the middle of the small park I sat in the other night.

They were the epitome of the start of a pure love story.

"Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit..." I trailed off to myself and brought up my camera from my bag and snapped a picture of the two. I looked down at the frame to see the two newly in love girls and smirk to myself.

"No way is she ever going to deny my invitations ever again," I cackle quietly and stashed my camera, holding the precious blackmail, back in my bag.

I quickly scurried away, making sure neither of the blushing love birds saw me and headed towards the cafeteria I saw in the distance. I guess I'll let Ymir off the hook for eating with me only for today...

I softly chuckled to myself again and then sighed, looking at the scenery around me. The trees still held perfectly green leaves in their branches, and the sun that was high at its peak in the sky shone down on them, making their lush greens even brighter.

Soon enough my footsteps, along with many others, echoed in the main building to campus that held the eatery. I made my way down the hall and entered the room that was buzzing with multiple voices, many raised and bubbling with laughter.

Deciding that I would eat outside on a random bench, given it was beautiful out, I got a random sandwich that was placed in a plastic container, and a bag of chips, and headed over to pay with my card. After paying I made my way to the exit, but before my feet could even pass the threshold to the large room, I heard my name being called out.

My first reaction was to grimace because I just wanted to eat in the sightly scenery outside, but once I recognized the voice that called out my name again and again until I would turn around, I pasted a smile on my face.

I turned around on my heels to see a table at the other side of the room that contained Sasha- who was yelling loudly, with no care of the glares sent her way- Jean, Connie, and three other people I who didn't recognize, but noticed they were all extremely attractive. I waved with my free hand and started to walk over towards them when I saw Sasha motioning me over with her hand, nearly hitting a brunette green-eyed boy in the face while doing so.
