Lunch rolled around after Jean and I had been to the four core classes. I joked with Jean about how much Hanji loved biology and how astonished she was at the technology advancement of microscopes.

Moblit seemed delighted as well, but not so much when it came to reining the mad scientist in and keeping her from running in circles around the classroom.

Jean opened his packed lunch to find a small packet of goldfish, a banana, sour patch kids, and chocolate chip cookies (homemade from scratch).

He looked at the candy and desperately tried to open the bag. I giggled and reached over to open it for him, our fingers brushing past each others.

I took the packet and opened it without a problem.

"Wait. Are these...?"

"Yep. Little people shaped candy. Its your turn to be the titan."

He glared at me, then smirking, he bit one of the people in half. Vertically.

Okay, now I was triggered.

Of course, we were then interrupted by a slightly frightened Nathan. The same guy Jean had made fun of earlier. But now he was accompanied by three others I didn't recognize.

"Oh, what a surprise. I thought you would have dumped her by now."

I sighed. "Come on, Nate. At least I can get a boyfriend. You couldn't even if you tried."

"Well duh. That's because I'm not a gay like you."

"Man, your ass must be jealous of all the shit that just came out of your mouth."

I flashed Jean a confident smile.

The bell rang.

"Well, I guess we'll continue this conversation after school. 1:45. Behind the gym. Be there on time or else."

"Oh, believe me. I can't wait to take you on," he said, wrapping an arm around my shoulders.

The guys left to go to their next classes. It was time for Jean and I to go to art.
