Clover High

Chapter 5

A week had passed since Noelle, Yuno, and Mimosa had sent their letters to join their respective clubs. Noelle had finally made the tough decision to send her application to the Silver Eagles. Though it felt inevitable given her family's legacy, a small part of her wondered if it was truly what she wanted. Still, she was ready to embrace the responsibility and prove herself worthy in her brother's shadow.

Mimosa and Yuno, on the other hand, had both set their sights on the prestigious Golden Dawn, and they were anxiously waiting for their acceptance letters. Yuno was calm, confident as always, while Mimosa tried to match his composure but couldn't hide her excitement. She had always admired Yuno's strength and determination, but recently, that admiration had started to shift into something more, something she wasn't quite ready to admit yet.

**At School, a Week Later**

Noelle arrived at school feeling a little anxious. Today was the day they were expecting to hear back from their chosen squads. As she approached the lockers, she saw Yuno and Mimosa already waiting. They both had letters in their hands.

Mimosa: "Noelle! We got accepted into the Golden Dawn!" she said, her voice brimming with joy.

Yuno nodded, "We're both in. Looks like we'll be on the same team."

Noelle smiled at them, happy for her friends but feeling a pang of nervousness. "That's amazing! I knew you guys would make it."

Mimosa blushed slightly"I can't believe we'll be working together, Yuno. I'm really excited."

Yuno looked at her, his expression calm but sincere. "I'm glad we'll be on the same team too, Mimosa. You're one of the best students here. We'll make a great team."

Mimosa's face turned even red and she looked away for a moment to gather her composure. "Th-thank you, Yuno... I'll do my best."

Noelle chuckled quietly to herself. "Looks like somebody has a little crush.."

Speaking of Asta, she hadn't seen him yet this morning. He was probably already training with the Black Bulls, as usual. She quickly shook the thought out of her mind, trying to focus on the moment.

Noelle: "Well, I haven't gotten my letter yet... but I'm sure it'll be here soon. I mean, I sent my application to the Silver Eagles. It's only a matter of time before Nozel sends a letter back telling me I'm accepted"

Mimosa smiled at her, encouraging. "I'm sure they'll be thrilled to have you. You're strong, Noelle. You'll make them proud."

Noelle nodded, feeling reassured by Mimosa's words. But deep down, she felt a strange sense of uncertainty. Maybe it was just the nerves.

**At Home That Evening**

Later that day, Noelle returned home to find a letter waiting for her. Her heart raced as she picked it up. This was it—her acceptance letter to the Silver Eagles. She took a deep breath and tore it open, expecting to see the familiar Silver Eagles insignia.

But when she looked at the letter, her eyes widened in shock.

Noelle (reading): "Congratulations, Noelle Silva. You have been accepted into the Black Bulls."

Her heart skipped a beat. The Black Bulls?! How could this happen? She had applied to the Silver Eagles! She reread the letter, but the words remained the same. Somehow, her letter had been sent to the wrong squad, and now she was officially a member of the Black Bulls.

She stared at the letter, unsure how to feel. A mix of confusion, shock, and—dare she admit it?—a tiny bit of excitement.

Noelle: "This can't be happening... How am I going to explain this to my family?"
