The next day at school

"Y/N !!!!" I heard my name scream from the halls as soon as I walked through the door, Lumine rushed to me then hid behind my back. "What-" Before I could say another word Lumine pointed to my front.

A Ginger. Yes, Tartaglia. "Oh~? Y/N-chan !!" Tartaglia called cheerfully, Why on earth do I have to deal with this. "Tartaglia ! Been a while hasn't it !" I said forcing a smile. "Has the time flew by that fast ?" The ginger haired man, said in a flirty tone. 

"-And this is why you can't keep a girl Tartaglia." A voice came from around the other side of the shoe locker. I saw a teal haired man stick his head around the corner and walk over to us. "Well if it isn't Xiao !" Tartaglia said as he completely forgot about us.

Lumine tugged on my hand indicating we go. "You go on a head of me, okay ?" I said. Lumine did as I said, after she left I still remained. I don't know what I was thinking staying here, worst case scenario is I get caught up in a fight. 

Little did I know while I was lost in thought they were already at each other's throats. Tartaglia was holding Xiao by the collar, while Xiao remained with a smug look on his face. I heard a couple of people murmuring something.

I managed to get back to class just before the bell for first period rang. "Phew." I exhaled. Lumine sitting beside me gave me a curious expression. The teacher did the roll call then handed out the assignments. Lumine tore a piece of her notebook paper and passed it to me.

The note read: What happened ? Before I could write back the teacher announced. "Xiao and Tartaglia are in the nurses office due to a fight, Eye witnesses say a few of you were involved." He said.

The moment he said 'Xiao' sent shivers up my spine. I looked back at Lumine with a guilty look, her head was tilted my but she didn't want to make eye contact. 

When I tried to write my thoughts trace back to. 'Was the fight my fault?' or 'if I wasn't there would they still be in the nurses office?' I ruffled my hair in stress. 

'Snap' I heard a sharp snapping sound, I looking around the room and then my mechanical pencil. My lead had snapped.. I loosened my grip around then mechanical pencil. Was I holding on to it too tight ? I unzipped my pencil case. I'm out of lead.

I raised my hand, "Yes, Y/N" The teacher response was less than enthusiastic. "I ran out of lead, do you know where I could get spares ?" I asked in an apologetic tone. 

"I'll lend you mine !" "You can take mine !" "NO she'll have mine!" The whole class fell into  argument. The teacher started searching his desk, he looked at me and shook his head apologetically. 

Lumine, passed me 1 stick of lead. "Thanks." I whispered back. She shrugged it off. I managed to make it through first period with breaking anymore lead. I stared at the clock hoping it would go faster. I ruffled my hair in frustration, why can't I get it out of my head.

The window view looked so much more cramped then usual. The birds on the wire were so distant. My eyes widened with excitement as the resounding sound of the lunch bell rang. Without even looking at anything else. I rushed out of the classroom.

I stopped and caught my breath outside the nurses office. I stood back up to open the door, but before I could, the door rattled open, what a resounding sight. Saphire blue eyes, met mine. I found before a ginger haired man. 

He put his hand on my shoulder, smiled at me and spoke "You're really lucky y'know that ?" His smile filled the room like rays of sunshine. Then he walked pass me. "Wait !" I called back to him. He turned back to give me a wave.
