Meeting you

Part 2

"Oh, hi Hu Tao! Are you also here to get a pie?"

Still Xiao's POV

Who the fuck? There standing in front of my eyes is a boy, slightly shorter than me. (Also, yes in game Venti is taller, but I wanted Xiao to experience the power of being taller) There are two braids with a light blue tip framing his seemingly feminine face, paired along with a mint green shirt and black shorts. Do I know him? He seems familiar, and he seems to think so too. There was a shocked expression shown in the first few seconds I turned my back, but that look quickly vanished.

"Oh hello! Are you new? My name's Venti! Pleasure to meet you."

Venti? Where have I heard that name before?

Before thinking, I blurted out "Pardon me, but have we met before?"

Great. More pointless chit chat. I regretted those words as soon as they left my mouth. The boy seemed to light up and smiled.

"Huh? Xiao, you know Venti?! Venti, how come you didn't tell me about himmmmmm?"

Hu tao's whining pierced my ears, but at least she forgot about me slapping her hand.

"Huh? Oh, sorry Hu Tao. I just never... never thought I'd see him again.. ehe?"

"WHAT DO YA MEAN EHe?! GIVE ME MORE DETAIL!"

"Ehe~;) I'll tell you some other time. Anyways, XiAoOoOooooO, you should sit with us during lunch! Wait, what's your schedule?"

"DON'T TRY TO CHANGE THE SUBJECT YOU EHE TRAITOR!"

Trying to get them to stop fighting, I handed Venti my schedule.

Schedule

English
Chemistry
Drama
PE
Lunch
Health
Math

"Oh, Xiao, we have English, Pe, and Health together! Sucks to be you Hu Tao! ;p"

"What the fuck bro?????"

"Anyways, since we have English together, wanna walk there right now? The bell is about to ring, and there's gonna be a lot of people walking around the halls."

Something about Venti makes me feel comfortable, so I hesitatingly agreed.

"Sure, but, what about Hu Tao?"

"That hag can walk with her fuTuRe gIrlfrIEnd Yanfei. Good luck dealing with her ranting about how Yanfei is sO hoT during lunch."

"HEY! I DO NOT!"

"Ehe~, come on Xiao! This wayyy!"

And with that, Venti led the way, jogging a little to get away from Hu Tao.

"English is pretty fun actually. Our teacher is reallyyyyyy nice and ... talented... friends.."

After listening to Venti for a while, I couldn't help but stare. Why do I get such a nostalgic feeling? After a couple of minutes and nodding every once and a while, we made it to room B203– just before the bell rang.

"Oh, hello there. You must be the new student I presume?"

I nod.

"Well, I hope you enjoy my class. Don't worry, I'm not too strict. Would you like to introduce yourself to the class? If you are too uncomfortable, I won't force you. The first day is always nerve wracking, I totally understand."

"No thank you. Thank you for understanding my situation" I responded back, grateful I wouldn't have to be the center of attention. I was hoping to blend in with the rest of the class, unnoticed.

"Haha, no problem. You may go ahead and sit wherever you like. Unless of course, the seat is already taken."

I sat down after Venti kept patting the seat next to him, claiming no one sits there. He must have heard my stomach still growling, so he handed me a small triangular sandwich.

"Psttt, by the way, she lets us eat in class, cause she does too. Just wait for her to open her daily snack and the whole class will start munching on something."

After everyone was seated, our teacher Mrs. G explained the concept of alliteration, opening one of those small packets of Oreos.

"Ayo, Xiao. This is your cue. I made that sandwich just this morning, and had extras, since I usually bring some for my other friends too. I would be soOooOo heartbroken if you don't like it. ;)"

He made this? That wink made me nervous to eat this sandwich, but I was too hungry to decline. After taking a bite, my mind felt blank for a short moment. Holy shit! He made this?! I haven't had a sandwich for so long, and this tastes so good?! I'm not sure what sorcery he used to make this, but his friends are so lucky to eat this. Actually, the hell? I'm the one lucky eating this. After seeing Venti's nervous face, I give him a nod of approval.

"Your sandwich tastes good. Thank you."

After those small two sentences, a huge smile appeared on his face. I swear I just saw flowers everywhere. How can someone be so cute? Anyways, at least now I have a way to pass time.
