"YEEEAAAAAAHHH!!!!" The crowd cheer as the MU football team has score another point.

Monsters jumping up from their seats, fists raised in the air, popcorn and drink flying everywhere. A red empty side cup bounces off of Mike's as he glances up to see who threw it. Randall cautiously watches the crowd roar in excitement. Bella sat between Javier and Johnny busy eating her bucket of peanuts. She loved peanuts, she often carved for it was a child, and she still does. The ROR sat back down and watched for the rest of the game. Fortunately, MU has won. Hooray! Once the game was finally over Bella walked alongside the ROR, they were busy chatting and being hyped about their team winning. Bella paid no attention to it. Sports weren't her thing, she only tagged along because it made the experience for Javier better...and she has slightly grown attached to the former President, Johnny. Johnny minds it, he honestly enjoyed her attention. He didn't take her attention for granted unlike he does to some other monsters. He would sometimes nudge or comment just to make eye contact with her. It was enough for his heart to start racing a bit, it was exciting for him yet made his stomach twist.

How long has she been going out with the ROR? Around 2 months now. (In this story they started the semester around August.) Bella surprisingly seems to be getting with the members. She's been opening her shell little by little. Bella glanced over at Mike before giving him a little wave as a small act of kindness. Mike returns the wave, and so did Randall. Mike and Randall weren't exactly friends with Bella but they know they're on Bella's good side and she's on theirs. Sully turns to see Bella waving at them. He smirks before giving out a scoff. Bella heard his scoffing, she narrowed her eye and gave him a light dirty glare. She would say something about this but she is still too afraid to speak up. Maybe someday she will.

For the rest of the day, the ROR chose to hang out at a local cafe, it was a little slow but it wasn't too bad. The sun was slowly hiding underground as the moon was making its way up. Bella learn it was time to head back. She said her goodbyes to the ROR members and hugged Javier before leaving them. Bella knew her roommate Chase would be staying in tonight so there was no need to bring her keys with her. She gave it a light knock to let him know she's return. Chase set his digital pen down before opening the door for Bella.

"Hey there, how was the game?" He asked. He hopped back into his seat and spun turn in it like a kid.

"Not my thing..." she softly said. Bella shook her head as she fixed her antenna.

Chaser shrugged at her answer. He already knew she wasn't much of a sports person. He turns his wheel chair back around and continues to sketch on his drawing tablet. Chaser had already told Bella what his goal was once she ask. It was to be a graphic designer, he had a turn passion for drawing and expressing his creativity through art. Bella silently watched his drawing process, she admire his artwork but she never told him, not yet. Bella slumped on her seat and proceed to skim-read her textbook remembering all the important stuff she needed to know. You thought she was going to sleep? No! She's gonna study her butt off! Okay, maybe not as Mike. But she still studies a good amount. She would take some extra notes on a flash card to keep practicing memorizing it. Once she thinks she's it down she believes it was finally time for her to sleep. Glancing over at the clock it was 10:05 pm. Not bad. Rising herself from the seat she stretches her legs out before drifting over to the bathroom.

Chaser flicks the lights of the bathroom flick on. He knew it was time for her to time head to bed. He points his pen at the settings option before turning the brightness down low, but not too low to the point where he cant see. He and Bella had a problem with the brightness of the tablet on the first few nights. Chase usually stays up late to work on his drawing causing the brightness of the tablet to illuminate the whole room. This was a problem for Bella since she was a moth, her instinct was to stare which was a major hiccup in her sleep. Chase was honestly glad he and Bella figure out a way instead of him forcing move dorms or cutting off the time from his tablet. Bella wobbles out of the bathroom turning off the light behind her. He made her way to the room light switch before shutting it.

"Night.." She slowly yawned while still making her way to her bed.

"Goodnight man!" Chase respond.

Bella shifts her position a bit to find a comfortable spot to sleep in. She pull on the thin blanket to cover herself from the cold, but it barely did anything. And there is so heater too to help with it. Boy, she needs to go shopping for a new pillow and bed coverings. Eh, she'll do it on the weekend.

The next morning began with Bella walking to scaring school. Bella perched her seat as Mike, along with Randall, took their seat beside her.

"Hey!" Mike greeted Bella with a smile on his face. He was thrilled to learn something today.

Bella waved at Mike as her way of returning the greeting. Bella spotted Sully sitting across from them in the corners of her eye. She turns over to meet Sully's eyes. He had an unpleasant look on his face, perish it was because she was interacting with Mike. Sully rolled his eyes turning to face away from Bella.

"Good morning class!" Professor K started with the sentence he said every day.

Professor Knight flips the chalk board to the other side to reveal a pop quiz. Some monsters whispers to each other with a little anxiety. But not for Mike. He was confident. He commands everyone to open their textbooks and read a paragraph to estimate the correct answer. Professor K glared at Bella as he was about to call on her to answer the question, Mike suddenly shot his hand up waiting to be called on. It wasn't surprising for Bella for Mike to ace every question. He was pretty much hogging it all up. Sully glare at Mike and groan in annoyance.

The hours have past by. The day was now leaning towards the evening. Bella and Javier were spending time alone, away from the fraternity.  They hung out in the arcade where the two of them played multiple games and compete against each other. They were currently battling in air hockey, they slam their paddles against the disc trying to source a point. Thanks to Javier's fast reflexes he sorted another point in Bella's goal.

"Bullseye!" He cheered. He had scored points three times in a row.

Bella happily sighs, she took a break by sitting in the food court area. Javier dragged a seat beside her, he notice that Bella was having a lot of fun along with her confidence-boosting over the past months. He glance away for a second and thought it was finally the time to ask her.

"Bella." Javier grabbed Bella's attention.

"I notice you seem to be enjoying the ROR fraternity. And it's good for you, you're building up your confidence." Javier said.

"What are you trying to say?" Bella had a puzzled look on her face.

Javier chuckles. "I want you to officially be on our team but unfortunately it's an all-boys team. But I found another way for you to participate."

He got up from his seat and motioned for her to follow him. Bella scooted off her seat to follow her older cousin out in the parking lot. The evening sky was a cotton candy mixture of pink, yellow, and orange. The vibrant sun gave it a warm feeling to it. Javier lofted up the trunk of the car revealing a neatly folded ROR cheerleading outfit that was waiting for her.
