Examination Hall 1, East Campus, 2pm.
“Woah~ I can’t believe I used the whole two hours to finish that paper...” Lune muttered. She didn’t expect to be greeted by her two close friends’ angry faces as soon as she stepped out of the hall.
“Did you realise you’re the last person who came out? We’re starving here while waiting for you.” Mia complained.
“You should tell us next time so we can ditch you.”“Ouch!” Mia responded in pain. Lune just flicked her forehead.
“Who taught you this?!” Mia continued to complain.
“No one.” Lune smiled awkwardly. You have to blame Eden for that.
Natalie looked at Lune, inspecting her weird behaviour. Suspicious... totally suspicious! She’s definitely hiding something from us!
“Whatever~ let’s go to eat!” Mia gave up. Her stomach was already protesting long enough.
“He-ello?” A soft , polite voice can be heard, greeting them.
Three heads quickly turned at that weak greeting in unison.
“Oh, it’s you. Hi Eden.” Natalie greeted him.
“You want to steal Lune from us again?” Mia asked, straight to the point. In an instant, she felt a death glare from Lune. This girl... don’t blame me, I’m hungry!
Mia? Wants food. Lune? Wants Eden. Woah... that sounds wrong but well, eating together is the only solution. “The three of us are going to eat. Want to join?”Natalie gave a perfect solution before her two friends started to fight.
“Then, let me treat you three to eat.” He answered, not unaware that, Mia and Natalie immediately liked him.
“Sure!” Mia excitedly said. Such a good person!
Facepalming. Lune was. Why they’re my friends?!

Mars Eatery, 2.45pm.A carship parked at the designated place. The driver came out first followed by the passengers. For once, Mia and Natalie were well-behaved due to feeling afraid that they might scratch or ruin something in the car. It was an enough jaw-dropping fact that he owned a carship; the transportation that was a mix of a car and a ship. They knew he owned one but seeing it in with their very own eyes was a different matter.
Most citizens use public transport like bus though it is of t en crowded with people but it’s cheap and they can fly to places fast. For short distances, some people use bikes like Natalie or simply, they walk.
“Thank you for the ride.” Lune told him. She left the other girls to walk behind her, wanting to walk beside him.
“Mia is a bit scary...” Eden unexpectedly confessed to her. Earlier... she looks like she wants to eat me! “Is she okay with me?”
Answering his question, she laughed f i rst then said, “No worries~ she’s just hungry.”
“Oh.” He seriously responded, as if he just learned a new fact in the class.
She laughed again. Cute!
Mia and Natalie exchanged glances, feeling like a third wheeler.
“Psst. Is she Lune Huang? Our friend? She’s totally not Lune that I knew.” Mia whispered to Natalie.
“She keeps grinning like crazy!”
“Exactly! Who’s this girl?” Natalie whispered back.
