[asdfasdf] (Story One)

MANY NAMES STARTING WITH M

(A.N I apologize that all of the guy names start with M! Didn't even realize until this chapter! XD)

I glanced up, more than annoyed. "That didn't sound to sincere." While they stumbled to find an answer, I tried to identify the stranger. Key word there is tried. I couldn't see the dam articles (A.N dam snackbars anyone XD) behind him, much less the person in front of it. The figure had finally stopped stumbling over their words and had started staring at me. "Um," I stood up, "Could you move so I can actually see you?"

"You can see me."

"No I really can't."

"I'm right in front of you."

"Well that answers it." I flipped through the applications on my headset. Finding the contact lense app, I turned it on again, only to find that my implant was busted from the fall. "How even is that possible?" I muttered.

"What?"

"That light fall made my implant bust."

"You need optical assistance?" They sounded skeptical.

"Yeah, Whaddya think? I'm lying?"

"Yeah."

"Jeez okay then." I started fumbling for my spare glasses before I realized that I left them at home. Drat. I started walking in what I supposed was the direction of the study room Micah and I were in, only to be held back by a pair of arms. They muttered, "Wow, you really are blind."

"What?"

"Your were heading towards a solid wall." they said, exasperated. I could see they vaguely gestured towards a white blob. "Oh, um, well I-"

"Hey Kaede! What are you doing? Found yourself a boyfriend?" I sighed in relief. "No, Mark. My implant broke."                                                                                                                                                                       
"WHAT? How even?"

"I don't know. Well, while your here can you guide me to the room Micah is in? This dude holding my shoulders," at this he quickly let go, "bumped into me and now I can't see."

"Oh. Hey Micheal!" Mark greeted.

"So the mystery man has a name, huh? Also, how do you know him?" Mark waved at Micheal and started guiding me through the stacks. Micheal (or the blob that was Micheal) started walking away to the other side. "We're acquaintances."

"From where exactly?"

"School."

"Hold up, you go to school?"

"Yeah."
"Why have I never seen you then? Or that other guy?" It was his turn to boop me on the nose. "Cause we're a year apart, silly. And, if I may add, you literally go the school on the other side of the city."

"Oh, that actually makes a lot of sense. I thought you didn't go to school. Like, you dropped out or something."

"Really?"

"Yes."

"Wow. Anyways, we're here!" I heard the sound of the door opening. Micah's voice resounded from inside. "Hey Kaede, finally came back? I packed all our stuff and-" I guess he noticed that I wasn't exactly focusing on his face. Or maybe the fact that some random dude he had never seen before was escorting me. "Hey... Kaede... what's up with the dude?" his voice was on edge and he himself was edging away from the door, closing up like a flower at dawn. "Oh yeah! You guys haven't met before! Micah this is Mark from the tea shop, and Mark this is Micah, my best friend and most loyal acquaintance. At the SciFi section a dude knocked me over and somehow busted my implant, so I had Mark escort me back because I'm legally blind without the enhancements."

"... That was one long explanation." He walked forward, still a bit timid, to shake Mark's hand. "Nice to meet you, Micah"

A sly but skittish spread across his face. "Same to you. I actually have a question for you. Are you the 'nice barista' that happened to receive a 'pink mustache' from Kaede?"

"Oh yes. Most definitely. Although, I can't really put it on right now 'cause she said 'next time I come' and it looks like I came to her."

"MICAH! MARK!" I complained. They were both laughing their butts off at this point. I've never seen Micah become so comfortable with another person so quick. I groaned, "I should have never introduced you guys."

"Is it because we're so lovable?" Mark batted his eyelashes.

"NO."

"I actually think it's because of the everlasting teasing we're gonna give her!" Micah replied. They fist bumped and started laughing again, leaving me to brood over my mistake.

"Wait- Mark why were you here in the first place?"
