respawn ♥︎ 'level up' trilogy

(4) first day

*this is the first chapter that involves two arcs. the events happen at the same time so i put them in one chapter. time for a continuation of lance's arc and the start of hunk's. yes, just lance. no keith development. no klance development. lance has the farthest to go out of everyone so he'll get the most attention. and i want keith's arc to be separate from the klance arc so lance doesn't take over his arc. keith needs to do something very important without lance by his side this time. he needs to handle this by himself. there is still a major event coming up in the klance arc tho, look forward to that. anyway. enjoy. i also hint to the beginning of allura's arc in this.*

Hunk walked down the hall of his school, trying to find room 364, "Why are there so many rooms." He muttered to himself as he walked along. He turned the corner and bumped into a girl with long frizzy brown hair.

She backed up, "Sorry!"

Hunk shook his head, "No, it's on me. Really. I wasn't paying attention."

She smiled at him, "Do you need help?" She noticed he was holding a piece of paper with the room number and the time for his first class.

"Uh, yeah. I'm going to be late. I'm a bit lost."

She took the paper, "We're heading the same direction, come on." She walked past Hunk.

He turned around and followed her, "I was going the wrong way?"

"Yeah, you probably missed the hall," She held her hand out to him as they walked, "I'm Shay Brookes, by the way."

He smiled and shook her hand, "Nice to meet you, I'm Hunk Garrett."

"Hunk? That's a unique name." She wasn't judging.

Hunk shrugged, "It's just a nickname."

"What's your real name?"

"Nobody knows." He teased.

She giggled, "Okay, mystery man. You're studying gourmet?" She could tell by the class he was going to.

He nodded, "What about you?"

"Baking. I love making pastries."

He smiled, "I've never been good with pastries. But I am with cooking. It's weird."

She shook her head, "It's not weird. I can't cook for crap," She stopped at a hallway, "Okay, your class is the last one to the left. You have five minutes to spare before it starts."

He smiled, "Thank you."

She handed him his paperback, "No problem. I'll see you around." She started walking again.

He watched her leave before looking back at his paper. There was a post-it note on it that wasn't there before. '555-7843 Shay'. He smiled and went into his classroom.

Lance walked out the back door of the university, walking to the parking lot. He saw Keith there, leaning against his motorcycle.
