Well, after the bus ride with that Chrom guy, I admit my mood has improved some. Heck, I'm even kind of looking forward to classes to see if we have any together! I hope the other students are as nice as him...
Lost in thought, I accidentally bump into someone, knocking their tightly-clutched books out of their hands.
"AAARGH! Sorry!" I kneel over to help them gather them up. I glance up to see who exactly I'm apologizing to.
It's a pale girl with long, sleek black hair, her bangs cut straight in the front. She has a pretty, simple gold crown placed around her forehead, which strikes me as somewhat odd, but I go with it. Her pretty face has a very sharp chin and relatively high cheekbones. She's wearing a black blazer, a shirt that's so tight her small, attractive figure is almost ripping it, and a short black skirt that somehow on her doesn't look indecent, though on anyone else it would. Her black boots are tall, making up for her skirt--almost. Her dark eyes seem plastered to the ground, and I almost think that a blush is creeping across her porcelain skin when she looks up.
I'm definitely not imagining the blush now.
"Hi. Sorry about that," I say, helping her up once she's got her books securely grasped to her chest. "I'm Becca. What's your name?"
"...Tharja. I'm Tharja," she says in a flat, almost bored tone. She averts her eyes and starts walking as quickly as possible away.
"Hey! Wait!" I yell. Hell, if I'm gonna make friends with Chrom, I'm going to make friends with whoever else I want! Finally, I catch up with Tharja.
"Wait...! I need to...apologize..." I say, panting from the aerobic training that is traveling busy high school hallways. She resolutely looks the other way.
"It's fine. You don't have to." I grin, hopefully like how Chrom did: encouraging, kind, and generally approachable.
"You're right! I want to! Find me at lunch! I'll buy you coffee or something!" Before she could respond, the warning bell rang. "Oh crap! See you at lunch! Hope we have classes together!!!" With that, I ran off to class.
