You pop down into the seat of the bus, loudly exhaling. The rest of the classes were uneventful, and you are definitely tired. Leaning your head against the window, you attempt to get the ten minute shut eye that your bus ride would allow you. Just as you feel yourself drifting off, the bus hits a bump, bashing your head against the window,  causing you to hiss in pain and quickly retract. Your head throbbing, you flick on your phone, deciding to check your school email. During Science, you were told to check your email, to see who you had been assigned partners with. 

Of course, Lady Luck is both kind and a total bitch. 

As you scan the names, you see:

(school email) & edmunddemonwildemonsterslayergains666.edu

You stare in disbelief at his username, and quickly look him up in the school website. You were sure that he would be some cool looking guy with a fluffy dyed cut, piercings and goth clothes. Instead, you are met with the blondie from earlier. The one you need to patch up your impulsiveness with. You groan at the fact that of all people, you were paired with him. Although, you muse, I can use this to patch things up so Alexandre won't tell Boss. 

You type in the excruciatingly long username, and send a quick message informing him of the project, and that you are free tomorrow to meet up.

You rub your nose as the slight nip of fall is certainly setting in, waiting for your bus to arrive at the stop. As you board, you notice your albino friend sitting in the corner. Weaving your way through people, you sit by him, completely unnoticed. Remi was staring off into space again, a habit you found rather endearing. "Pssssst" you whisper, and Remi jumps back with a yelp, covering his face. You smile, and once he opens his pale eyes, he relaxes. "Oh, I didn't know it was you..." he trails off, laughing rather nervously. You nudge his shoulder with yours. "Aww, don't worry, I'm here to beat off the assholes, not be a complete one. Although, I do acknowledge that I can be a huge one." 

Remi vehemently shakes his head, disgusted at the idea of you being perceived as an asshole. "No, you are perfect !" he whisper shouts, fists clenching his backpack straps. 

"And you are delusional," you laugh, patting his shoulder. "Anyways, speaking of assholes, I got paired with Wildes. The blondie?" you flex your muscles in imitation. 

"Ew." Remi says, standing up, since the bus has stopped. His heart races as he reaches out his hand to help you up. You take it, and smile at the warmth radiating from his appendage. Remi, on the other hand, hold back a sigh at the soothing feel of your soft, cool hand. Although, he is a bit anxious about you feeling the sweat building up in his palms. He whips his hand out of yours, giving you a strained smile as you both get off the bus. 

Weirdo, you shake your head whilst grinning.

=========

You anxiously approach the lunch table where Edmund is sitting, Remi trailing behind you even more nervously. Ren flashes you a slight smile, and Edmund looks at him in wonder. Apparently this was a rare occurrence. 

"Hey..." you say, sitting across from the duo. Remi scoots closer to you, linking his ankle with yours as a form of support. Or at least you think it is just support, but Remi is absolutely imagining you two as a couple. 

"What?" Edmund says, poking moodily at his food. He didn't want to reveal the upcoming tussle to Ren, as who knows what might happen. 

"We are partners in Science, and uh I won't fight you." You say, your pride taking a deep tumble. A death plummet, even. To your deep surprise and relief, Edmund takes a pause before murmuring an affirmative statement. That is, before he sends you the evil eye.  "Wonderful! See you Sunday at 3pm, outside the library!" You scramble out, rushing to get up and away from his glare. Ren's hand catches your wrist, and you look at him in shock.

 "Stay," he says, with a barely noticeable strain, "Please." 

"Sure..." you say, uncertainly sitting down. Remi sighs slightly, all chances of getting away alone with you out the window.
