Chapter 3

A few days went by and you hadn't heard anything from King, you began to think everything was over and he lost interest in you. You were glad because he sounded like a lot of trouble... right? Something in your gut made you want to hear that voice again, a lingering feeling that you needed to know who he was. You didn't feel that he was dangerous, if anything the vibe he gave off was almost... cute? He seemed sweet, he protected you from those creepy guys and he wanted to hide himself from you which made you think he was shy. 

"EARTH TO Y/N!!!" Kimi clapped her hands in your face, "what has got you so spaced out?? I haven't seen you like this since you had the flu for 2 weeks last year!!" 

"Huh? Oh! Nothing! I was just thinking about classes starting tomorrow is all..." You scratched the back of your head, embarrassed she'd caught you in a daze over King.

"You're a crappy liar... but when you want to tell me I'll be here... ANYWAYS!!! lets go to this years recruiting rally!! We should join a club!!" she got up went rummaging through her clothes. "and do something with your hair, it looks a mess"

You looked at yourself in the mirror and winced, 'wow I do look like crap' . you pulled your hair into a high ponytail and threw a white v neck tee and a pair of ripped jeans on. You smeared some lip tint and mascara on and you were on your way. The two of you walked toward the main courtyard area and the recruiting rally festival was already underway, there were booths everywhere with all kinds of different clubs listed, looking for new members!

"How can we pick one when there's at least 150?" you sighed, Kimi just grinned and ran over to her first stall, a club that looked heavily influenced by fashion. 'right up her alley' You smiled and looked around seeing if there was anything that might interest you. You began wandering, until you saw a club for creative writing. When you approached the booth they offered you a flyer and this cute fountain pen, You talked with the reps and they seemed super cool! You found a place where you could feel comfortable with people that had the same interests as you, even though they seemed to write a lot differently than you do and about all kinds of things. You signed up for their club and they gave you the date and time for the first meeting.

"See you then Y/N!!!" they waved at you as you wandered off. You made your way through another aisle and was offered a cute sticker from one of the art clubs when you looked up and saw Amane. He was chatting with a few other guys before he caught you staring, he grinned and said something to his friends before walking over to you. 

"Hey Y/N!" he said "You're a first year right? I'm a sophomore, Did you pick any clubs you might like to join?"

"I'm considering joining the creative writing club but I haven't made any decisions yet..." you gave the best smile you could, in truth you were focused on how he smiled.

"you mean you write books? That's so awesome! What kinds of things are you interested in writing?" he lit up, immersed in your hobby. 

"I mostly write fantasy/sci-fi type stories! I really don't think I'm any good though... I'm not really sure where i wanna go with it but I really enjoy writing" You felt your cheeks flush at his strong interest in your writing.

"Those are my favorite types of stories!! I assume you're considering a creative writing major, I'm majoring in astronomy!!" He beamed. "Did you know that Neptune has only completed one orbit around the sun since its discovery? It takes 165 earth years to orbit the sun just once"

"I never would have guessed you liked astronomy, but now that I know I think it suits you" You giggled. 

"Space is so strange and beautiful" he glanced up at the night sky and sighed. "anyways! If you don't have plans, would you want to get dinner with me tomorrow? Around 7? My classes go until 6:10" 

"O-oh okay!" He caught you off guard with the question "No I don't have any plans yet. My classes end at 5." 

"Great! You can tell me all about your first day of classes then" He grinned, Kimi yelled for you from behind and he turned on his heels to walk away. "See you tomorrow night"

Something about his voice seemed familiar, but you couldn't pinpoint why... Kimi, as usual tears you out of your thoughts with an overly exaggerated shoulder shake. 

"Y/N YOU WONT BELIEVE THE CLUB I JUST JOINED!!! They run a fashion blog and any member can post on it!! I'm gonna get internet famous because of my fabulous style!!!!" she basically screamed in excitement. 

"that's great Kimi... I think I have a date tomorrow?" you said, more confused than anything.

"WHAAAAT? I leave you alone for HALF AN HOUR and you've got a man??? WAIT you HAVE to let me pick out your outfit!!!!" 

"Its not like that" You chuckled "He's some guy I met the other day and he seems sweet, He just asked to have dinner tomorrow to talk about my first day of classes I guess" You shrugged it off.

"wait he seems sweet, AND he wants to know about your day? before it even happens?? What kind of guy is this?" She laughed, "is he like super ugly or something?" 

"No he's actually cute, His eyes are this beautiful shade of amber..." you trailed off, thinking about those piercing eyes. "anyways its not a big deal so don't go picking stuff out for me okay?"

She just laughed at the thought of you trying to stop her from meddling and the two of you walked back to your room. You got your bag ready for class in the morning and crawled into bed. Thinking about your experiences here thusfar.

King wasn't the one to creep into your dreams tonight, Amane was.
