xvii. PEACEFUL .

first period, it's currently [name]'s first period class and though they weren't discussing about something they students were being asked to stand up and introduce themselves which [name] didn't like it all.

"next."

how unfortunate . . .

she mentally said to herself as she stood up from her seat and fidgeted for a bit as she felt the class' attention on her which made her even more nervous as lump was suddenly formed on her throat. [name] then glanced down at alistair who glanced back at her from the corner of his eyes thankfully the students and teacher didn't notice.

sensing her nervousness alistair quietly intertwined his pinkie finger with hers and [name] seemed to relax herself, no one noticed which was good, "hello my name is [name] [last name] and i hope that we all could get along together.", it was short but her teacher dismissed saying that it was fine and guessed that you were nervous "next.", the next person was alistair.

[name] was quick to sit back down as she let her hands fall to her lap no longer locking her pinkie with the boy who was now standing up. the attention was shifted onto alistair and the whole class has a slight blush tinted across their faces ( except the teacher ), everything fell to silence as they all awaited for him to speak.

to their surprise alistair started walking in front of the class with no emotion on his face, taking a chalk he wrote his name on the board.

alistair schultz.

and with that the whole class swooned, except for [name] who now had taken an interest on the floor beneath her. alistair sat back down to his seat as he looked at [name]'s figure before turning away and looking back at the front.

little did he know that the girl was flustered with his constant attention on her but she guessed that it was because he thought that she was nervous and she completely appreciated that and was thankful! [name]'s mind then wandered to the lack of sleep she had last night.

usually sleeping late and waking up extremely early was no surprise to the girl and it never once bothered her but for some reason she was completely tired today and wished to rest her head on her desk and sleep until lunch came but she couldn't bring herself to do so.

"alistair! do you want to hang out with my friends this recess?"

"alistair how about you eat with me when it's lunch time!"

"alistair do you want to be friends?!"

"alistair you can have my to exchange numbers?"

recess and it was already seeping with so much chaos with a bunch of students surrounding the seat of alistair who was ignoring them and attention only focused on [name] who was busy trying to think of a way out of the crowd of students surrounding both her and alistair.

not wanting to be part of this [name] was quick to stand from her seat, push the students softly while muttering a quick "i'm sorry!" and "excuse me." and finally rushing out of the room not even bothering to fix her stuff on her desk.

with a sigh alistair began to organize for his new found friend and it surprised the students that were crowding him as they began to whine but the boy did nothing but ignore them as he focused on organizing [name]'s desk.

"why are you organizing your seatmates desk? they should be organizing it themselves!"

it was true but it was the least alistair could do since [name] didn't actually swoon and beg for his attention just like current and former classmates, meanwhile [name] was currently searching for her snacks that she placed in her locker but unfortunately she couldn't find it inside.

maybe i left it inside my bag?

as she was about to turn back around to walk back inside her classroom alistair was the first person she saw the moment she turned around as [name] let out a shriek, calming down after a few minutes [name] was quick to furrow her brows confusingly at the boy who handed [name] her bag.

"thank you!", she thanked the boy who nodded slightly as he stood beside the girl who started to search her bag as alistair waited patiently to his newfound friend to finish her search inside her bag "no! my snacks aren't inside my bag!", the girl whined in sadness as she found no signs of her snacks inside her bag.

[name]'s mood dropped down the moment she realized that she didn't have her snack inside her bag. the snack that she decided to bring was a small sliced oreo cake, her favorite donut, and a small can of her favorite soda which is [f/soda] and now she couldn't even enjoy them because those aren't with her.

as she was about to grab her phone and whine to her mom that she forgot her snack alistair held [f/snack] in front of her causing [name] to grow confused but was quick to understand that he was offering his snack to her which she was about to decline politely but the boy was quick to put the [f/snack] in her hands as he did a thumbs up towards the girl.

[name] looked down at the snack and she swore she almost screamed when she saw that it was one of her favorite snacks, she was about to hug the boy but then stopped herself since she didn't want to make him feel uncomfortable towards her so she did what most people would do if they were given something "thank you so much alistair! please let me repay you!"

alistair only shook his head as he walked away before doing a motion with his hands indicating that he wants [name] to follow him and so she did, she followed him to the garden in the school which was occupied with a few students who were happily eating their snacks but fortunately for both of the two - mostly alistair - no one noticed them enter as they sat down on a bench and started eating.

alistair noticed how it was rather calming, no one shouting his name and begging his attention, no one urging him to eat and sit with them, and no one bugging him all the time.

it was peaceful and he liked it.

ɞ alistair's character is heavily inspired by shousuke komi from komi-san wa komyushou desu ( komi-san can't communicate ) because shousuke is amazing and cool and amazing and cool and amazing and cool and yes i do know that i repeated amazing and cool several times but that doesn't matter.
