2gether [VIEWTU]

• Chapter I

Have you ever wondered why many things are in pairs? Like friends or... Lovers. Especially when you find the right one to pair with, you will do whatever it takes to be with that person. No one has ever been the right one for me, so I came to find the one in this University. I never thought that this time, the right one would be so different.

Two weeks earlier.

— Does it fit?

Tu was just about to post an Instagram photo of her newest achievement — passing the cheerleading audition — when her attention was grabbed by Fang, a short haired girl who was part of the club, and who promptly made sure Tu's new uniform was okay.

— We intended to make it fit you perfectly.

— It does, P'Fang.

She rose from her chair as she answered. The older one placed her hands on her shoulders, gently turning Tu on her axis so that she could adjust the white zipper on the cheerleader's back. Fang tugged at some of the translucent fabric to fit Tu's back more precisely.

— Hmm, that's great. I just knew that we shared the same student code. — Fang turned the rookie again so that she could face her and make a few more adjustments to her uniform. Her hands now smoothed the sleeves over her shoulders.

— Right.

— Why do you want to be a cheerleader?

Tu quickly answered the question.

— I want to make new friends and have a new experience. — She smiled, looking slightly proud of the answer, even if it was a simple one.

— That's so great. By the way, someone left this for you. — Fang handed a pink envelope with a heart seal to Tu, which the girl received with both hands. In a playful tone, she said: — Eeeh, we haven't performed yet, and you're pretty already!

— Hey, I don't care about this thing. I only focus on studying and university activities. — I mean, let's be honest. It was only partially true, because deep down, she cared. But she wanted to make a good first impression.

— That's perfect, you go, girl. — Fang raised two thumbs up with her hands, and then pointed her index fingers at Tu. — We're going to have a meal with other share-coded student next week. See you then. — She patted the cheerleader on the shoulder twice before turning her back and leading the other students there.

When Tu looked at the other girls who were in the chairs on the side, some were looking at the new face, perhaps interested in the romantic letter she just had in her hands.

— I'm going to open it now.

Peeling off the red heart sticker, Tu opened the flap of the envelope and pulled out the letter. On an orange paper, written in blue pen, it could be read: "Tu, I've been looking at you since The Freshmen Orientation. I have something to tell you. Meet me at the soccer field." Her name was underlined in red, and after the text, there was a smiley face in the same color. On the underside of the page, a heart outlined with blue pen and filled with red.

As the letter mentioned the soccer field, there she was. Tu wanted to know the sender of that letter. From afar, she saw a not very tall boy with his back to the path, so she deduced that it was him.

— Hi.

The boy turned, and now Tu could see that he was on the phone. He greeted her back without much emotion from who would have sent a romantic letter.
