You were so happy: you had a lesson with your friend! You went to the same university of one of your best friends of high school, but you two applied for totally different courses, so for the first semester you barely met each other before or after lessons a couple of days a week. You feared losing her, growing apart from her.

But there you were, sitting next to her laughing like the old days at her jokes and funny faces. The archons have blessed you with that subject, something you first thought as boring as hell but that now you realize every first year must study, regardless of the course.

"Uh yaaaa! I'm so happy I followed my gut instinct and chose group 9! Can you imagine what would have happened if I followed them?! Ohoh but thanks the archons I didn't! I missed spending so much time with you, y/n!" she jumped on you neck and you reciprocated the hug, before asking for some hair.

"I missed it too Hu Tao! Do you think we could study together? I think I'm gonna die of boredom if I study this thing alone..."

"Alone? Don't tell me you still didn't manage to make some new friends?"

"Aw, don't pout, no need to be sad about that, I have you, Fishl and Jean, and the others too, I can't ask for more. Honestly, I didn't even try to get to know someone, you know how scared I am of social interactions...."

"Yeah, I know that.... Well, do not fret my beautiful butterfly, I accept your offer to study together!"

She gave you a bis smile, and you were about to thank her from the bottom of your heart, but the teacher's mic went on and he started talking.

The lesson was exactly like you imagined it to be: oh-so boring. But between notes, doodles, giggles and jokes of your friend, time flew. Since it was already pretty late, with the sky turning into a palette of pink and orange, and neither of you had more lessons for that day, you and Hu Tao headed to the train station. The ride wasn't really long, 20 minutes or so, so you were soon alone again. But today you couldn't stop smiling.


A few hours passed and you were about to go to bed, when your phone vibrated. Once again, you forgot to turn the sound on after the lessons. <<oh please, tell me I didn't miss any call>> fortunately, you didn't. the only notification you had was a message from Hu Tao

{a/n: what do you think about the time of the messages? i initially thought it would be nice to have it, to make it more real, but wattpad doesn't let me make them little or less invasive, so maybe it's better to just get rid of them...}

<<Finally, some time to chill with Hu Tao>>, you thought while setting down on a table in the room you agreed to meet into with your friend. Sure, you were about to study anyway, but it's nothing compared to the stress the teacher of your last lesson made you feel, talking about a group project. Thank the archons he then added a "Well, you could also do it by yourself if you prefer", but you already had your heart attack. You were about to open your notebook, trying to forget the horrible feeling of being left out you just had thinking again about that group project everyone in your class were so happy do to, when you heard a familiar voice yelling "Oh ya! Oh ya!". Ok, as she said the previous day, the room was almost empty, with the late afternoon sun hitting the tons of empty chairs that were scattered all over the room, around the tables and not. But almost, there were a couple of tables full of students doing their group projects. And ok, that room wasn't the library, there wasn't a rule about not make noise, after all, it was a room for groups of students. But still. Yelling was a bit too much, and it drew the attention of everyone who already was there. Not that she cared anyway. She only wanted to get your attentions, and she managed.
