A Semester with Portia

3

"Where the hell is the cafeteria?"

I mumbled as I search the area.

Can they just include the school map in our itinerary?

I was going to invite Portia for a dinner since I don't know where the cafeteria is, but our time was cut short by a—pixie? A sprite? I dunno, it was orange little human with wings, she whispered something to her and she immediately bid me goodbye before I gave one to her. And boy, that little human was surprising enough for me to actually forget to invite her.

Seeing none in this area, I decided to go to the next area.

As soon as I turned around the corner, a figure bumped right to me as I try to catch myself.

"Woah! Sorry."

I looked at the figure to see a black haired boy as he readjusts his round glasses, holding out a hand.

"Oh, no worries."

I simply said as I take it.

Is it just me or have people given me a hand more than once lately?

"Sorry, it's because of my rumbling stomach."

He explained as checks my outfit for any dirt, earning a look from me.

"Well, if you don't mind, can I tag along? You know, as an apology for me."

I asked as I eyed him.

"Hm? Of course. You didn't have any dinner too, huh?"

He said as he starts to walk side by side to me.

"Mhmm, I'm still new here so it'll take time for me to familiarize the area."

I lied. It'll take more than time for me to familiarize this big-ass school.

"Oh, I see. That calls for introductions then, I'm Jonathan."

He held out a hand as we walk.

"I'm Liam."

I shook his hand. And shit, the cafeteria was in the opposite area.

~UաU~

"Yeah, and I'll be ready for the history class if I prepared notes in advance."

He rambled his experience here beforehand as we pick out our dishes. Even the food here is top-notch, my mouth's watering from all these sexy food.

Jonathan told me a little about himself on the way here.

He is the third child of his kingdom, making his life easy, you know not being the eldest son? Shouldering the kingdom's future and whatnot. He spent his childhood in their library since his siblings were too busy or too young to play with him, making him a dork prince, an adorable one.

As soon as we're done, we made our way to a vacant seat. The cafeteria's packed as expected and it seems we've arrived later than early. They all wore casual clothes, you can't see any students in uniforms.

For a second, I sensed someone's gaze.

My eyes moves around to navigate it and soon landed on blueish ones.

Our eyes still locked till I sat down as the dork boy cut it off by blocking my view.

"So what do think of this school so far?"

He asked as set aside his tray, gaining my attention to him.

"It's okay, I guess. I mean, I just got here."
