Ranboo sighed, he just wants this day to be over with. He has so many backlogs from last week to do plus the present activities. He had always been a slow learning student with decent yet unsatisfying grades. His constant forgetful moments always got the worst of him. However, he was good at other things such as reading and a bit of writing as well. Ranboo smiled fondly at the sheer memory both him and Techno created a week ago. Reading books in the Craft manor peacefully and switching books once finished. It was like binge watching a movie series but instead, it was books. He didn't even know that the Technoblade, a badass fencing duelist and an intimidating personality, has a soft spot inside. And oh man, Ranboo looked up to him as his non-biological older brother even if he only met him just a few weeks ago. He met the Craft family first when Thomas Innit, the youngest Craft, introduced him to them. And At that moment? He found himself a pseudo second family and he could never be more grateful to Tommy. Ranboo quickly frowned at his current thought. But he still wondered as to why the young blonde became distant and cold towards him a few days after the unforgettable happy incident.

If only he knew the feeling he had perceived that day was the opposite feeling Tommy had felt.

Speaking of Craft family, he and Tubbo has been invited to a family dinner later this day. He remembered, ironically and surprisingly on his behalf, that Phil mentioned they have some guests coming over and Ranboo can't help but feel nervous but excited at the same time. He's always been socially awkward when interacting. He don't usually talk to kids with the same age as him back when he was younger. But seeing his sibling, the only mentally stable between all their family members in such a sadden expression makes his chest tighten so he tried his best to socialize. It only made his condition worse, hearing those careless insults his classmates had said back in elementary, whether they are talking it behind his back or not, made him puke and hurl.

But when he stood in front of the doors of Esempi High, he met Thomas Innit Craft. The boy who drastically changed his life. The boy who now distanced himself from him days after Ranboo Beloved became close to the Craft and Underscore family. That is the main thing he wants to know the reason behind.

In Ranboo's own perspective, Tommy, the blonde's usual nickname for everyone to call him, has always been mysterious. Yes, the brunette certainly knows that the blonde is socially and academically interactive, talkative, chaotic and such that describes him as an extrovert, clearly opposite of Ranboo. Although, even in far distance, the brunette can notice how odd and eccentric Tommy is. The blonde usually shut off in the middle of a conversation, quiet when he wants and knows to be, can notice how Tommy's blue electric eyes move in an ambiguous manner, quickly and critically (that includes Ranboo when both first met. The mentioned brunette has been terrified of him. Much more now when Tommy suddenly went cold), secretive even others told him he sucks at lying and most of all, the practiced yet unnoticable act he plastered in front of everyone.

Ranboo knows more than what people can imagine. He's always been observant since the very start. Ranboo seems to know every unnoticed thing and sometimes, he wishes he didn't.

"Ran" Ranboo shakes his head from a distracted thought, he quickly spins his head to see who is calling him abruptly in a middle of class— "Ranboo!"

"Aimsey! Professor Drops might hear you, you idiot!"

"Health Ed literally ends like— seven minutes ago, Ranboo" Aimsey huffed, "And don't call me an idiot! You're the distracted idiot here, as always"

"Oh," Has he been daydreaming that much? "Sorry. I was just thinking about the group project but uh— what's the next class?"

"Lunch? My favorite subject?" Aimsey deadpanned jokingly although Ranboo seemingly didn't get the hint. "Prime, you seriously don't get it?" They scoff playfully, "It's Lunch time and Health Ed is the last class for technically, the whole day. The afternoon ones are just clubs, sports, practice or an elective student like the three of us. Tubbo, me and you"
