Peaceful Dreams...Well...Kinda.

Better Safe than Sorry

"How Did you sleep last night?”

Rain asked.

“I had to move some furniture to make it work but it was fine. At least the Floor is Heated so that's a Plus.”

Rick said While chewing on his Synthetic Bacon. He could sleep anywhere actually but when he had to sleep on the Floor he preferred to do so on Wooden Planks who gave in a little when he laid down, so the Hard Concrete Floor wasnt exactly perfect but it was fine.

They were sitting in the Cafeteria early in the Morning. It had been a rough Night for Rain who had problems adjusting to the environment and having to sleep without Rick by her Side. She sighed and said with a depressed voice.

“Can't you come over next time? I feel so lonely without you.”

Rick chuckled and put his Orange Juice down.

“I mean I could, but then there is the Chance that they do a routine Checkup on me and if Nobody answers, I'm gonna have a problem.”

Rain let out a disappointed sigh and got back to her Food. Suddenly someone tapped her on the shoulder. It was Alya, her neighbor.

“Can I sit next to you guys?”

Rain gave her a smile and nodded.

“Sure.”

Rick nodded too and Alya sat down. She gave Rick a smile and stretched out a hand to him which he shook.

“My name is Alya, I'm Ranni's Neighbor.”

“Kirk, I'm her Brother.”

“Yeah I know. You have caused a lot of gossip among the Girls.”

Rick rolled his eyes and let out a sigh.

‘I wish we wouldn't have to hide our Relationship. It is so annoying being approached by all those Girls. They are way too young anyways.’

“Yeah I noticed. Some of Them even came up to me and tried To get my number or asked for other things.”

He said his voice filled with annoyance. Alaya nodded along and asked curious.

“So you already have a Girlfriend?”

Rick shook his head and said with an even voice.

“No I don't, but I'm also not looking for a relationship at the Moment.”

‘It feels so weird saying this while she sits Right next to me, I hate it.’

Rain chuckled and turned to Rick.

“You almost agreed to give Sarah your Number yesterday didn't you?”

Rick scoffed and said with an amused voice.

“Yes, but I ended up declining.”

‘Actually I just wanted to mess with you as a Revenge for waking me up by dripping ice cold water on My balls.’

Alya gave him a smirk and swallowed the Cereal she had been eating.

“You dodged a huge bullet there, big guy. These Girls only mean one thing and that's Trouble.”

Rick smiled and said.

“I guess you're right. I'm just gonna stay under the Radar for my time here. I don't plan on taking many classes after all.”

Alya frowned and asked surprised.

“You're not? But don't you think you should use any recourse available to train for the Winter Solstice?”
