The high school kids made it to their first year of college, and thanks to God's grace, they all ended up in "section B" together.

Fast forward about 15 days, Orion was running late for class one day. He wanted to join from the second period anyhow, and we know why, right?

He was being regular these days because she was being regular

As Orion reached the corridor, a girl with straight black shoulder-length hair, a middle parting, and hairpins on both sides of her hair approached him, standing about 5.3 feet tall.

Nervously, she asked, "Can you tell me where the economic department is?"

"I'm heading there too; you can come with me," Orion offered.

"Which section?" Orion asked again, this time with a soft smile.

"Section B," the girl replied.

"Alright, here we are," Orion said with that gentle smile of his upon reaching their class.

He then took a seat next to Staid.

Makyl was in the front seat with Sami and Isella, due to a dispute. The reason behind it was: Sami refused to consider Makyl good-looking, and Makyl was going all deep into how Sami is so wrong, has no taste, and that he is handsome. This debate had been ongoing since the 1st period.

The new girl, not knowing anyone, followed Orion like a puppy and gestured to him, asking if she could sit beside him. Orion nodded in agreement.

Later that day, Orion saw her all by herself, no friends around, so he introduced her to Sami and Isella. However, Staid was not fond of her because she was too friendly and extroverted.

On the other hand, Makyl enjoyed her company, as they shared the same brain cells, and over time, she squeezed herself in and became a part of their group.

One day, while they were all hanging out on the terrace, the new girl asked " Orion, do you like girls with short hair?"

Makyl chimed in, saying, "Nah, he totally doesn't, Ericka," while giving Issella a side-eye.

Ericka is the new girl bdw

Makyl was the only one who took Ericka's question lightly . Staid seemed annoyed, Sami looked puzzled, and Issella didn't react at all, while Orion blushed red like a tomato.

And then she asked, "You guys aren't in any club, right? And why's that?"

"It's none of your concern," Staid retorted.

"Aaaahaa! Mr. Staid, why you always so grumpy?" Ericka chuckled, teasingly questioning.

She went on, "I'm totally into horror stuff, but with no horror club at our college, it's such a bummer. What if we start our own horror club?"

Surprisingly, nobody seemed interested in her idea except for Staid.He hated to admit that he was actually agreeing with her.

But, he kinda gave in and admitted to himself that he wanted a horror club too because he liked that stuff.

Ericka was like,"Let's make this happen, Staid!", Staid not too excited, eventually said yes (but deep down, he was totally on board).

They were hustling and bustling, head and leg, to make it happen, and after a whole month, the office person tells them that a room got vacant.

They went to fill up the form and saw a requirement of at least 5 members to form a club.

"5 members why?" Staid inquired

"We can't have every student starting a club. You guys only got this club because the other one was closing down due to not having enough members," the office person explained.

"And only because you two have been regularly circling my office I am considering you first, give me names of 5 members by 2:0 clock or someone else will get the room." He explicitly tells them.

Staid and Ericka returned to class to find Orion sleeping and Issella and Sami in the canteen.

They filled out the form, and the list of names was as follows:
1) Staid Lamion 2) Ericka Raisee 3) Makyl Zen4) Orion Kai 5) Sami Lein

Staid was okay with putting down Orion's name without asking.
Makyl willing joined as he wanted a spot to hang out with his buddies, and he swore to take the damage, asking them to write Sami's name too.

Poor Orion and Sami, with no choice and against their will, were made club members. Sami's gonna eat Makyl alive!

But now, the issue solely lay with the club advisor. When the office person requested the advisor's name, they begged for extra time.

They (Staid and Ericka) asked every teacher they could find, but unfortunately, everyone rejected their pleas.

After feeling exhausted, Ericka sat down near the football field. The view from there was incredible, and the cool breeze helped her relax a bit.

"Aaahaaa!" She let out a long sigh.

"What seems to be the issue, miss?" inquired the man lounging under the tree, hands resting behind his head, eyes peacefully shut.

Ericka then blurts out her problem, and the guy suggests her to go to the junior PET teacher. He advises her to beg a bit and mentions that he will eventually give in.

Ericka went all out with her charm, fluttering those eyelashes, flashing her sweet smile, showing a touch of sadness, and putting everything she had into it.  He finally surrendered and gave in.

And that's how the horror club was born, and then Sami brought Issella into the club too.

After the college fest ended, the very next day, a guy walked into their class during the break. He headed straight to Ericka, who was sitting at the front, and boldly said, "I saw you in the rally race; you were amazing. I like you. Please go out with me."

"If only you had asked a day earlier, things might've played out differently. I already have a boyfriend now," she replied, glancing back at Orion, who turned red.

Meanwhile, some of them were shocked and not happy at all.

All these events unfolded within a span of  just 5 months!
