"Um..." 

Kaveh checks his watch. He then looks up at the clock on the wall. 

"It seems that the clock is, uh, broken, so...I'll have to get someone to fix that." He makes his way back to his desk and hits a stack of papers on it to organize them. "Do you guys want to leave early?" 

The class erupts. 

Kaveh lets out a small chuckle and picks up his satchel. "Alright, class is dismissed, then. Have a good day, everyone." 

Tighnari whips around to face you. "Is there music club today?" 

"Yeah, I think so," you say, nodding. "You're coming, right?" 

He sighs and holds the back of his neck. "Uh, about that...I forgot that art club meets on the same day..." 

"Nari!" You exclaim. "You didn't take that into account?" 

"I'm sorry," he whines. "I'll try to reschedule the meetings, but it's really Mr. Albedo making most of the decisions..." 

The two of you walk out of the math classroom with you sighing heavily. 

"So I guess I'm going by myself, then," you whisper. 

"I'll walk you there," Tighnari says softly. 

As you walk down the stairs and onto the first floor, however, you feel a tap on your shoulder. Turning around, you see a rather handsome and very familiar face which makes your own heat up almost instantly. 

"Hey," he says. "You're in our club now, right?"

You nod.

"What class did you come from?" Xiao asks, the outer corner of his eyes squinting ever so slightly. 

"U-Um..." Your mind is going blank. 

"We just got out of math," Tighnari says, smiling. "In room 206." 

"Oh, cool." Xiao nods. "I just got out of English in 207." 

"Perfect, amazing, spectacular," Tighnari exclaims. "I just realized I have to get to art club, so sorry, guys. Just go without me."

And before the boy can reply, he leaves you there near to the staircase next to him. 

noooooOOOOOOOO TIGHNARI I'M GONNA DIE PLEASE

"You came from 206, right?" Xiao asks. 

"Yeah," you whisper. 

The boy begins to walk to the music room and motions for you to follow. 

"Then let's walk together," he says. 

"Oh..." You sigh softly. "Okay." 

Say something other than one-word answers, you stupid fumbling oaf. Archons know how you even have one friend

A few seconds of awkward silence go by as you pass students through the hall. You can hear whispers floating around and following you. It makes you uncomfortable, but you can't bring yourself to say anything to Xiao. Luckily, however, he pipes up first.
