Who would've thought that college is actually hard? Especially when you're already emotionally broken. Luckily, Tara tries to start fresh as much as possible. Except towards one guy.

Tara rushes out of the house and into her car to go to school. She's not late for her class or anything. Just simply lovestruck. She's at a stoplight when her phone starts to ring, Bakatare, her face lights up when she read the caller ID. Tara grabs her earpiece and answers the call, 

"Nani?"

"Are you grabbing coffee?" The guy on the other line asked with a groggy voice.

Someone just woke up, Tara thought and chuckled a little. "You know I am. Do you want one?"

The guy groans and shuffles around, "Please?"

Tara chuckles and shakes her head slightly, "okay sleepyhead. Get up already so you won't be late for class."

"Ugghh fine. Thanks, Tara." He shuffles in bed slightly,

"No problem. Gotta go Seth." she said.

He replies with an okay and ends the call.

Tara continues to drive to her usual café which was just two more stops ahead. She goes into the café and orders the two iced coffees, one with soy, of course. Once the order was done, she picked them up and went to her car and straight to school. She parks at her usual spot and gets out of the car with her stuff and iced coffees. Tara, being her clumsy self, bumps into her side mirror with the drinks and one of them spills on her and her car. It had to be her drink, it just had to. Frustrated, she puts the drinks on top of her car and cleans the spilled drink off her car. She can't do anything about her shirt so she just grabbed a jacket from her trunk and left to meet with her friends. Tara goes into the lounge and sees Seth on the couch playing TEKKEN 7 with their other friends. "Bakatare," she calls out to him.

"Oh hey! Let me just finish this game real quick."

Tara watches the game as Seth tries to win but still ends up losing.

"Fuck man. Good game." Seth laughs and then turns to face Tara. 

"Here's your iced coffee." Tara hands him the coffee and hugs him. 

"Arigatou. What happened to your shirt?" Seth points at the coffee stain that the jacket didn't cover. 

"Clumsiness happened." Raising Tara's now quarter full iced coffee.

Seth sips his iced coffee, "Damn. That sucks. You didn't have an extra shirt in the trunk?"

Tara gives him an are you serious look, "Does it look like I had one?"

Seth just laughs. "My bad. I have one in the car if you want."

"Sure I feel a little uncomfortable anyway with this stupid stain."

Seth stood up and the two of them walked to his car. Once they got to the car, Seth opens his trunk and grabs his burgundy shirt then gives it to Tara. 

She grabs it and looks around. When there was no one around and Seth was still looking through his trunk, she takes off her jacket and shirt and changes into the one that Seth gave her.

Seth turns around to face Tara midway of her changing, "Tar- Dude!"

Tara flinches and looks up to Seth, "What?" She finishes changing and looks at him smiling.

Seth looks at Tara wide-eyed and slack-jawed.

"Hello? Earth to Seth. Flies will go in your mouth dumbass." she waved her hand in front of his face.
