Lightbulb's POV

Just another autumn morning, just another day of college. I smiled when I see the bright sun shining above my head. The weather is so fine, hopefully it stays this way. I swing my backpack, stuffed with books, pencils and notes, making my way outta my rented apartment. I checked my phone like always, a honey toast in my mouth as I catch the bus to Inanimate College.

My name is Lightbulb and I am a freshwoman at Inanimate College of the Object Capital! Since I turned 19 just a few months ago, it was time for me to enroll in college. And I chose the Inanimate College! It got after school clubs, many classrooms for many subjects, a big balcony on top, even a huge flower field, all that jazz! Kinda like your regular high school, but bigger!

When I arrive through the big silvery gates, I dash into my classroom to make it on time. Thankfully I'm still a first-year, so my class is just right around the corner. Phew! That's highly convenient!

I step into the classroom and see that other peeps are already there. Huh. Welp, onto my seat I go! I sat down on a seat, pulling out my stuff like my phone, my notes and my big book of stuff. Without this thing, it's almost impossible to understand anything at all. I turn on my phone and begin flipping through  Meepblr, like the usual.

"Hey LB! Howcha doin?"

I jolted up and made eye contact with a short chubby girl with equally short light blue hair waving at me.

"Yo Bubble!"-I replied cheerfully-"Sup!"

Bubble brushed her hair aside and sat next to me. She pull out her notes as I start the conversation

"Whycha sittin here today? Where's Fanny?"

"I dunno, she said she cant go today."

"And Snowball?"

"Y...you know how he is. I don't think I should."

"Ye, fair enough."

I shrugged and asked her about her homework since I may or may not have forgetting to do them. Ehe. I scratch my bright yellow bun awkwardly and earned a gasp from Bubble.

"Whaaaa, you haven't?"

"Hehe, oopsies whoopsies"

"B...but shouldn't you do it yourself? Match wants it by lunchtime. And she'll get angry if she knows this."

"Cmon, it'll be quick, promise!"

"...here you go, but don't get your hopes up."

"Hey it's cool, it's cool, just this..."

...once...

My eyes drifted away from Bubble and looked at something... no, someone, different. My words dropped at my jaws as I struggled to finish my sentence.

I saw someone new.

A tall and lanky person, wearing a thin coat of wooden brown with a grayish white shirt, along with a pair of dark blue pants. They wear a fancy yellow tie around their neck. The person has bright yellow hair, just like me, neatly slicked behind their head. Their face was blank and and expressionless, which looks really cool to me! And their eyes too...

"I wonder how old are they..."

"LB?"

Eeeekkk, I jumped when Bubble called my name!

"What's wrong, you kinda zoned out there."

"Wait, really? Huh, whadaya know."

I open my notebook and Bubble's and write down the homework. Huh, this is easier than I thought. Our professor enter the class, does his usual greeting and asks us to open our books. Me and Bubble opened ours and soon enough, let's just say, I was a teeny tiny bit distracted.

The guy, or girl, I dunno, took out their notebook and pen, and that's all they brought with them. They dont seem very friendly, since they are sitting at a seat furthest away from most people. They are writing down everything on the black board, such a hardworking person! And I can't even finish my own homework!

They do give off a pretty odd vibe tho... wonder what that means.

My eyes are fixated on the strange new student for the entire class. What drawn me to them, I'm not sure. Soon enough, when our first class ended, it is time to go. I pull out my phone, which has my schedule, and check the time.

"Lightbulb, what's our next class again?"-Bubble asked

"Wait, wait, lemme see here... ah, home economics!"-I read my phone and answered.

I look at the students who are making their way towards the exit. No sign of the new fella. I look at the back door, and it's them! Aren't they suppose to come with us? I follow them to the back as Bubble call out to me:

"Lightbulb, where you goin?"

"Catch ya later, gotta go for a bit!"

I run towards the person and surprised to see they're already at the hallway. They're so fast! Gotta catch up then! But they're so quick, my running isn't even enough to keep up!

"Hey! New guy! Or girl! Wait up! Wait for me!"
