Time skip...
"Yes! I'm so glad you'll apologize!"
"Why are you so ecstatic about this?"
She seems too happy about Miles.. what's really the motive-?
"Will you relax, I'm just happy you're putting yourself out there. He could be something interesting to your life you know?" She glances away from me- suddenly serious and genuine.

"Mhm. Right.."
"I'm serious! Last year you were kind of a loser."
"Alright relax with all that, there's our table."
You go to the cafeteria with your friend and pick a table in the far left. You set your stuff down and ask your friend if she can get you a drink from the vending machine. You hand her two dollars and jokingly tell her "Get yourself something nice." You wink at her- she rolls her eyes with a smile and walks to the vending machine.
You go to sit down on the uncomfortable seat and take out your notebook and pen- Your eyes get drawn to someone and he sits across from your table.

It's that guy Miles again... Just my luck huh?
But you take in his appearance— he looks bored and scrolls on his phone. He puts his headphones in, his legs are literally sprawled out from under the table. In a way, it really showed how lanky he was. You notice him tapping his foot to the music. Yet he seems.. lonely? And somewhat solemn. You feel a twinge of sympathy. You've never seen him with many people, this year...but you did 2 years back. He was smart, outgoing, and always had a smile on his face.
So...what changed?

Before you know it- as if he has a sixth sense. He looks directly at you. Miles raises an eyebrow at you silently asking why you were staring at him.
~
FUCK.
You make the decision to just leave him be- but you hear your friends words echo
"Apologize."
You go to get up when you feel a forceful hand on your back.
"Heyyy y/n!" Hearing a screechy voice call your name and greet you.
You suck your teeth in, putting your notebook back into your bag. You knew almost instantly who it was.

/character introduction!!)/
Ganke was your friend/enemy you two always compete when it came to quantum physics and math. But secretly you were jealous of how intelligent he was. Which explains your reaction. He was popular in your high school (on this Earth) with his preppy vests and glasses.
damn what I wouldn't do to give to have that brain and getting 95s and above.

"Hey Ganke.." you still keep your eyes on Miles as he's leaning on his hand now.
"So, what'd you get on that calculus test?"
Alright you know what? Let's get this over with.

You roll your eyes and rise from your seat. You take a look at Miles before replying:
"93."
You stride over to Miles' table and he looks up at you- kind of shocked but he quickly hides that with his careless look. Gathering up the courage you ask:
"Can I.. sit here?"
He studies you carefully. Trying to read you and see if there's any ulterior motive. But he nods anyway.

"Yea.. sure."
