yeah, you wanted to go home (or to your dorm, whatever) already.

you lazily rolled your head on your shoulders, slumping slightly as you listened to professor ego drone on and on about the new project of his.

if you knew he was gonna be here for the orientation ceremony, you definitely wouldn't have even entertained the idea of applying.

through half lidded eyes, you scan the crowd among you. it didn't seem like there was many soccer players here, mainly because the majority of them had already gotten kicked out or something due to a selection.

but there were surprisingly a lot of girls. you'd say about a third of them or so looked actually interested in what ego was saying- the others either whispering eagerly with their friends or checking out said soccer players.

letting out a huff, you whisper to rumi pleadingly, "ru, can we just go? maybe you can see chris prince like around campus... or maybe we could go to one of the games! besides.. there are sooo many applicants, too many actually. lets just go and call it a da-"

rumi rolls her eyes playfully and pinches your cheek, "ah ah (n/n), you were so confident when i asked you! i know this is boring and all, but lets just stick through it a little more.. please?"

you groan quietly and tug at her sleeve, "cmon, i'm sure the orientation isn't even required to get in-"

rumi sighed and looked as if she wanted to chastise you again, opening her mouth and... closing it?

"uh, rumi, you good?"

she looked behind you with wide eyes for a split second, and then immediately turned to listen to ego's speech as if it was the most interesting thing in the world.

she whispered quietly, "don't look behind you."

you raise a brow, "what the hell are you talking about..."

and so, as if it was the most obvious thing in the world, you turned to look.

...aaaand wished you took rumi's advice. you were met with two turquoise colored eyes staring you and your friend down with very apparent disgust.

"ru, who is that guy?"

"you looked, didn't you!" she drops her voice down to a whisper again,

"that's rin itoshi, you know, younger brother of sae itoshi— 'japan's greatest treasure'?"

"...yeah, no clue."

"it's okay, i didn't really expect you to know him. but, honestly, i'd stay clear from him. he's a bit of a weirdo."

you grumble, "until he stops staring at us, i'll give him the same energy."

she sighs, "okay, fine. just don't rope me into your mess!"

and you stayed true to your word. to others, this looked like a weird staring competition, but to you–this was your way of asserting yourself.

now that you were really looking at him, you noted his physical appearance. he had long under-eye lashes, and was pretty tall. 

he was fairly attractive, you'd give him that.

after a minute or two of both of you staring each other down like you were about to start squaring up, ego concluded his speech and let another woman with red-brown hair take over. people started lining up to fill out forms, rumi included.

before she left, she looked between the two of you dumbfounded before patting your back and saying, "i don't know what's going on, but you both look into it. you got this girl!"
