By day, one is the misfit student, a bad boy with a penchant for rebellion who drives his professors to the brink. By night, he's a high-octane adrenaline junkie, living for the thrill of the race and the freedom it affords him. His disdain for rule...

As they walked through the crowded hallways, the noise of students chatting and laughter surrounded them, but Fourth felt a newfound sense of calm next to Gemini.
He stole a glance at him, the tension from moments before easing slightly.
Hey. Gemini began, his brow slightly furrowed with concern. What was Nani doing with you ? It looked... a little too friendly.
Fourth took a deep breath, running a hand through his hair as they walked. Honestly ? He just doesn't get personal space. He explained, shaking his head slightly.
Yeah, I noticed. Gemini replied, his voice low. You looked like you wanted to escape.
Exactly. Fourth said, a small smile tugging at his lips as he appreciated Gemini's understanding. I tried to be nice about it, but he just doesn't take a hint.
They walked in silence for a few moments, the ambient sounds of the university fading into the background. Fourth felt a sense of gratitude toward Gemini; it was refreshing to have someone who genuinely cared about his comfort.
Then, Gemini broke the silence. You know, I was thinking... from tomorrow on, why don't you, Pahn, and your friends—Chokun and Prim—join me and my crew for lunch ? That way, Nani won't approach you as much. It'll give you some space and make it easier for you to enjoy your time here.
Fourth's eyes brightened at the suggestion. Really ? You think that would work ?
Definitely. Gemini said, nodding confidently. With more people around, it'll create a buffer. Plus, it'll be a good opportunity for us all to hang out more.
Yeah, I'd like that. Fourth admitted, a smile breaking across his face. The thought of spending more time with Gemini—and his friends—filled him with warmth. Thanks, Phi Gemini. You always seem to know how to make things better.
Gemini chuckled, his expression softening. It's just about looking out for each other, right ? We're all in this together.
As they reached the entrance to their next lecture, Fourth felt a swell of anticipation for the days ahead. With a plan in motion, he couldn't shake the feeling that things were finally starting to align in a way that felt right.
As they reached the entrance to Fourth's classroom, the chatter of students filled the air, a mix of anticipation and distraction buzzing around them.
Fourth felt the familiar flutter of nerves as he approached the door, but before he could step inside, Gemini caught his arm gently.
Hey, Fourth ! He said, a playful grin lighting up his face. I need to remind you about tonight.
Fourth turned to face him, curiosity evident in his eyes. What about it ?
Just be ready. Gemini instructed, his tone serious but his smile giving away his excitement. I'll pick you up at five. We'll hit the city first, and then I'll start teaching you those car racing tricks I promised.
