"Her name is Ryujin, she is single. But she's not looking for love right now. And... let's see. Oh! She's pretty polite and shy." Yeji filled Eli in. They hung out in his room after school, hiding away from the hot Boca Raton, Florida weather.

"Really? Not a bitch or anything?" Eli sounded shocked, he was laying in his bed, throwing a ball up in the air over and over again, thinking about that pretty girl.

"No. She didn't even talk during the lecture; she has a cute planner that she keeps all of her life in, and she sticks with it."

"Hmm. When she was talking to Yuna... did she mention her type?"

"No." Yeji sat at his desk, the chair facing his bed so they could speak to each other, she spun the chair from side to side as she spoke.

"Did you get to say anything to her?"

"Nope. Yuna is like... obsessed with making this girl her new best friend."

"Damn... We gotta stop her."

"Why?"

"Because she will definitely tell Ryujin to stay away from me because I'm Madison's ex. And girl code and bro code is to not go after friends' exes."

"Oh..." Yeji nodded in agreement. "Why don't you just talk to her yourself?"

Elijah caught the ball and held it in his hands, making a bit of a funny face. "What? N-no! I don't even know if I'm her type yet. I don't wanna look stupid, Yeji!"

"Aww, she makes you so nervous, how cute. I guess I could try to become her friend and then that way I can put the word in for you."

"Oh, shut up! And please do it quickly before Madison drags her down to the hell of Pacifico Academy, I do not want Ryujin to end up like Madison. If she's as nice as you say, I want her to stay as she is."

So, the next school day, her backpack filled with syllabus signed by her parents, she took action. Yesterday was 'A' day, and today was 'B' day, meaning she had a different schedule for the day. She starts the day with gym, unfortunately. But then she has two free periods and lunch, so it's actually pretty nice.

Already standing outside the gym hall, Yeji waited on her phone for a teacher or someone to unlock the doors so she could head to the locker rooms to change. She was waiting among other students who had the same class as her, none of them being her friends so far.

Another presence walking up to the doors, stopping near her. Yeji glanced over, looking again when she saw the short raven hair and pretty face. Boom, that's Ryujin.

How do I even start talking to her? And then how does that turn into talking about boys and then eventually about Elijah? She wondered.

Ryujin sighed, not knowing or being close with any of the people here, no one to talk to. So she went into her bag to get her phone out. But upon taking it out of the front pocket of the crossbody designer bag, a tampon came out of the same pocket as her phone.

"Shit!" She whispered in embarrassment, hesitating to pick it up because she was just so embarrassed. Maybe she's not comfortable around people. Yeji really didn't see any shame in her picking it up, she was the only other person who noticed that it fell from Ryujin's bag.

But now there's a packaged tampon on the floor...

Deciding to save her from the embarrassment, Yeji leaned down and picked the tampon up from the ground, putting it in her bag as if it was hers in the first place. "Damn small pockets." She whispered a bit loudly on purpose.

Ryujin noticed the gesture, staring at Yeji with a completely blank face. She ended up thinking of Yeji as a girl's girl.

So, she subtly stood closer to Yeji and leaned in, "Thank you." She voiced quietly.
