〖 Cafeteria 〗
The group stepped into the bustling cafeteria, their footsteps blending with the energetic hum of conversations and the clattering of cutlery. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee mixed with the irresistible scent of hickory-smoked bacon created a tantalizing atmosphere that enticed their senses. Sunlight poured through the wide windows, casting warm rays onto the vibrant hues of the cafeteria. As [Y/n] made her way toward the breakfast counter, her eyes scanned the room, seeking out familiar faces. The mixture of anticipation and nervousness welled up within her, causing her heart to race and her breath to hitch.
In the far-off distance, [Y/n] caught sight of Azul seated amidst Jade and Floyd, engaged in animated conversation marked by lively gestures and shared laughter. Holding her breakfast, she paused, her attention captured by Azul's presence. It was as though an unseen force enveloped her, urging her to move closer—an intangible attraction luring her towards him. A palpable sensation tugged at her, akin to a magnetic force exerting an irresistible pull she couldn't resist. Her fingers twitched involuntarily, an instinctual impulse stirring within her, a longing to bridge the distance. Yet, before she could react, Leona materialized by her side, seizing her wrist with a firm grip, his sudden appearance disrupting the momentum of her impending action.
"Hey, come on," Leona said, a smug grin playing on his lips. "You're sitting with me," [Y/n]'s initial surprise transformed into a sheepish grin as Leona ushered her toward a table, trailed by the rest of their group. Approaching Octavinelle students made their way to the table, eager to join the gathering. However, just as they neared, Leona's hand slammed against the tabletop with a resounding thud, sending tremors rippling through its surface. The sudden impact startled the students, freezing them in their tracks, wide-eyed and astonished. Leona's piercing gaze swept across the room, his demeanor unwaveringly intense as he barked, "Step away." His growl, coupled with the sight of his bared canines, struck a chord of fear in the timid students, prompting them to swiftly retreat, scattering away from the table in a flurry of unease and trepidation.
Taking her seat, [Y/n] couldn't help stealing glances at Azul, her cheeks flushing slightly. She swallowed hard as the emptiness confined her. Reality seemed to fade away as time stood still. Observing him intently from her seated position, [Y/n] sat with arms folded upon her lap, her demeanor composed with her chin held aloft. Though Azul had turned away from her, his gaze wandered from Jade to Floyd, veering over his shoulder to meet her eyes. A winsome smile teased the corners of his lips, a gentle chuckle reverberating within him, relishing the attention akin to enjoying an attentive audience. Her gaze drifted downward, fixing upon her plate, a sudden undertow of melancholy disrupting the tranquil aura that had enveloped her since the morning, casting a subtle shadow upon the serene demeanor she had maintained.
