The sunlight was shining on her bright scarlet hair. She waved at him cheerfully from afar.

A gloomy -as always- Kayn was dragging his feet right behind him. This guy better don't make me regret bringing him with me, thought Ezreal as he waved back at her.

"Have you been waiting for a long time here?", the boy asked her.

"Nope, don't worry about it! I just came here", she said. Her smile seemed so gentle.

Kayn wasn't even paying attention to the girl. Ezreal felt a hint of embarassement.

"I.. uhm.. this is my roommate Kayn. He doesn't have a team so I.. uh.. brought him along", he said nervously. "Is that okay"?

"Ofcourse it is! The more the merrier"! Lux extended her hand to greet Kayn properly as she introduced herself. The dude just seems unimpressed with everything, Ezreal sighed.

"Shall we?", he asked Lux trying to defuse the situation. And frankly hoping to make Kayn disappear altogether.

"Actually we are waiting for two more people", replied Lux as their classmates turned around the corner. "Oh there they are!", Lux waved frantically at them and the girl with the pink hair instantly rolled her eyes.

"Guys these are Ezreal and Kayn from the Battle Club". The pink haired girl just nodded at them while the boy gave them both a firm handshake.

"I'm Sylas".

"He's a friend from the Sorcery Club", Lux said touching his shoulder.

Ezreal thought the guy was smiling cynically at him. He felt like he was ready to hiss. He had shoulder length hair and a bit of a beard. More like a non clean shaved look. Oh sure he already has a beard at 16.. He was probably held behind a few grades.. Right? What a doucheboug. The blond couldn't help but feel protective towards her when he saw him put his arm around her waist. He simply clenched his fist behind his thigh. I don't like this guy.

"And this is Katarina. I'm sure you remember her from the sorting ceremony", continued Lux but the girl looked nonchallant. She would be the last person he would have expected to befriend Lux, just judging by her attitude. She could actually be Kayn's soulmate, Ezreal thought mockingly.

When all five of them took off, Ezreal stayed in the back and hit Kayn on the side with his elbow.

"Ouch", mouthed Kayn surprised at the hit.

"Can you try to be more.. like a human?", Ezreal whispered at him frantically.

"Wh-What the hell dude"? Kayn took a peek at the front and saw Lux and Sylas walking side by side and then looked at his roommate.

"Don't tell me you have the hots for her?!", he said still whispering.

"Shhhh..! No! Ofcourse not!", he almost said that out loud. "He just seems a bit sneaky..", he whispered in Kayn's ear.

Despite the fact that he may have seemed like an unlikely match for a roommate, Kayn was gradually growing on Ezreal. And most of all he liked his straightforwardness. It was safe to say that they had come to an understanding.

"So, what's the plan"?, asked Katarina as they sat down in a small diner.

She took out a small throwing dagger and started fumbling with it. Ezreal was sitting between her and Kayn while the two lovebirds sat together. I'm having a great time. Absolutely.

"All we know is that we are up against the rest of our class", said Sylas. "We have to figure out all their powers and get on top if we wanna win".
