You know it's hard when you hold me like that
Falling too deep and it brings you right back

The place was oddly quiet. There were no footsteps, no chattering of students, nothing. Everyone was too busy with their own classes. You found the empty space quite serene.
You stood alone, glancing out the window to get a good view of the courtyard. It was a bright, sunny day outside. Where were you right now? The 2nd floor exterior hallway.
If you remember correctly, this was where most of the 2nd year classes were.
Leaning against the brick wall, you crossed your arms. Methodically, your eyes watched the pathways with curiosity. You were waiting for a certain white haired male wolf to show up. If he was even going to at all.
It was then that you caught his scent and spotted him walking towards you. You perked up as he approached.
"Yo. I'm here and ready to get this Azul recon started." Jack greeted you.
Admittedly, you were surprised he turned up. Your plan was to observe Azul almost all day, meaning he cut classes just to join you. "Wow, you managed to skip class. What a delinquent~" You teased.
Upon hearing that, Jack flusteredly avoided your gaze. His face was faintly red. Why'd you have to phrase it like that? "...Look, the headmaster ordered this personally. He'll let an unexcused absence slide." He retorted.
"Besides, I don't like admittin' defeat." He added. The memory of losing to Azul and being chased out of their cafe didn't sit right with him. The two of you were gonna get him back for that.
"If there's a chance to uncover the secret to Azul's power, I wanna be there when we learn it." Jack declared, and you couldn't have agreed more. He's going down.
───── First Period "Music" ─────
The first place you followed Azul to was his first period class. Since it was a large lecture hall, you were able to sneak into the back unnoticed. You found a nice and obscure place in the back of the hall. The teacher seemed to pay no mind.
Jack questioned the spot. "Over here? Are you sure you can hear from here?" He asked you curiously. He had no problems because he was a wolf, but you?
"I can hear just fine. My hearing is pretty good, you know." You assured him. Although you answered him modestly, on the inside you were giggling like the schoolgirl you were.
Azul was called forward. He stepped up and began to sing. "Traaa-lalala-lalalaaa... ♪"
He was... actually pretty good.
"Huh. Guy's got some pipes." Jack observed.
───── Second Period "Animal Language Arts" ─────
Azul was meowing at a cat. No, seriously.
"Mrooowr... Mrr, mrah!" He meowed. After making the noise, he watched the cat expectantly.
"Mrooowr... Mowow." The cat said back. You stared at the feline, listening attentively. That cat hasn't had treats recently, or something...?
"Yes, yes, I see." Azul replied in understanding. He caressed the cat's head before turning to the teacher. "Lucius says that the last time you gave him a treat was three hours ago, Professor Trein."
