Another day has arose once more, Y/n opened her eyes, her body felt so tired despite only talking to Hoshi. Ignoring the fact that the reason how she landed in the BOCC universe.

Remembering the times she risked her life just to prove that her wish will come true, not wanting to be the only teenager whose wish didn't come true. That would've made her high school life hellish, recalling the treatment towards the students whose wishes didn't came true.

Entering the school gates, to be met with a place decorated with colorful balloon arches, and banner's that's hung from the rooftop of the university,'Is there a festival?' She wondered, as she basked in the wonderful decorations that somehow coated the schoolyard.

Despite the wide space of the school, it's filled with booths, food stands and so on. Making her forget the worries she's had for a second.

Lost in thought, a clicking sound was heard from not so far from her, her attention piqued by the sound, turning to her right side to see An unknown student holding a camera on his left hand and a Polaroid photo on the other.

He smiled brightly while waving the picture at her, "Hi!, my name's Thomas."

"Did you take a picture of me?" Y/n asked quite confused, "Sorry, couldn't help it you're really pretty you know." Taken aback by his weird reply, she looked at him with a bashful expression, "Hahaha no..."

"No seriously!! You are!"

"Here." He lent the photo to her, "What's your name by the way?"

"Y/n." She replied, "Nice to meet you Thomas." Inspecting the photograph in her hand, she looked so clueless yet she indeed looks beautiful,Y/n couldn't help but fawn at herself.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

"Now pay."

Her whole world shattered upon hearing those words, 'I can't help but think That I've been scammed.' Thomas grinned slyly, "It's not free, i do apologize for not saying earlier."

"How much?" Kinda feeling agitated, although she could always return the picture, but seeing as how she looked at the picture, she couldn't just do so.

"I don't think i have much on me right now, hold on let me check my wallet-" Placing her bag on the bench that's conveniently a few steps from them, shuffling through her backpack to find her wallet, "Not in cash." He said.

Glancing at him curiously, "What is it then?"

Now looking at the booth that Thomas and his companions unraveled, as it was covered with a big white cloth when she saw it first. Her world fell apart, "A kissing booth?" She asked dumbfounded by his paying method, "Yes."

"You'll be the belle of the event!"

"I'll pay you in cash." She deadpanned, not wanting to be part of such event, alas she was stopped by Thomas that looked at her with pleading eyes, "Please! Just this once, after classes, i promise I'll leave you alone."

"Now go along Y/n, after morning classes you're gonna have a busy afternoon!"

Her right eye twitched in annoyance while she walked amongst the busy hallway towards Class C, "Y/n!" Ivana shouted, upon calling her for a few times and she didn't get to notice it, "Ivana don't shout!" She scolded her while her friend just smiled in an unbothered behavior as Ivana made her way beside Y/n.

"I wouldn't have done that if you paid attention to me." She whined softly while flattering her eyelashes at her, causing Y/n's eyes to go wide at the sudden behavior change, "Okay..." Deciding to continue her venture to where her classroom, now accompanied by her friend Ivana.
