It was lunch time as of the moment, and you were headed towards the cafeteria.

Today, you decided you'd help the others search for whoever started the rumor. Since it was getting frustrating doing nothing about it.

On your way to the cafeteria, anxiety overwhelmed you. You feared seeing Mona there again, and you feared getting into another fight with her.

You couldn't control your emotions no matter how hard you tried. But you tried taking in deep breaths to help you calm down.

Unfortunately, it wasn't working very well. You soon were starting to feel dizzy. You'd been thinking about this whole situation since the day it happened.

You were completely exhausted of feeling this way. You hated feeling jealous and you hated feeling so upset towards Mona.

You slowed down your pace to give yourself time to breathe. And slowly, you got more and more dizzy. Where you soon, started leaning backwards.

But just as you were about to fall, someone held you from behind. Someone small.

You turned around to see who it was, and recognized the teal hair right away. It was one of your close friends, Xiao.

"Are you alright?" He asked, looking a bit concerned for your current state. You simply nodded in response.

Scaramouche didn't take long to arrive as you were both near the cafeteria. He saw you and frowned.

"What happened?" He asked. Xiao helped you get up, with Scaramouche's assistance.

"Nothing, I'm just tired," you replied briefly. "Are you sick?" He asked. You nodded a no.

Xiao sighed and let go of you. "Take care then. I need to go find Venti now. See you later, I guess," he said before taking his leave.

You grabbed Scaramouche's hand. "Let's go now," you said.

But Scaramouche kept his eyes fixated on Xiao, with a rather shocked expression. "Huh? What is it?" You asked, confused.

"That's Xiao?"

"Yeah."

"He's shorter than me," he said with pride.
