Class to Class to Class to Class to...
[This takes place between chapters 4&5 of TCOAV]
Hahaha! Aaahhh... she hated it here.
Yuu skid to a halt in the middle of the hall, a smile forcefully painted on her face to maintain some semblance of civility.
Her breath caught in her lungs and she wiped sweat from her brow. With a quiet scoff of irritation, she opened the door:
"Safe~" She huffed under her breath. She felt the eyes of her classmates land on her. Again. It was a common occurrence now. Of course, barging into the classroom for the third day in a row was bound to catch some glances, but really? Even when she beat the bell, she still got glares? At LEAST say hello or something. What, did they want her to strike a pose? Do a little trick? Make Grim do a flip or something?
She had been gradually learning to simply return the stares. Make them more uncomfortable than she, then they go about leaving her alone.
This time she did a little twirl.
Her audience didn't clap.
"Pup!" Professor Crewel called out right as the bell drummed out its usual tune. The questionably devious teacher squinted at her, lip curling up in mild annoyance at her distraction, "Take your seat."
"Yes, yes, of course~" She hummed in her usual facade, appearing passive. C'mon now, it's not like she dropped into the splits now, did she? If anything, tell your students to maybe clap or cheer or something.
No no, instead of cheers, she could hear Ace's snickering getting louder as she approached. Deuce politely waved her over as usual, with Grim already awkwardly standing in his seat.
"You look like a mess," Ace commented with a snort, picking up on the obvious: sweat, fly away curls of hair in every which direction, her uniform jacket half heartedly tied around her waist. All the indications of her usual sprint across the entire school building.
Yes. That is correct. The entire school building.
Having Junior and Freshman classes back to back had its setbacks, certainly. One could say it even made her completely...fucking over it.
Either way, he was wrong. Given the circumstances, she knew she looked quite nice today. She was more put together, learning the way of the world, and that did wonders to amplify her confidence... even if the free for all run to Crewel's class still sparked a flame of anger. Her act dropped in front of the trio.
"You look more kickable today~" She hissed in a whispered response as she sat in her seat next to Grim, leaving her bag to hang off the back of the chair. The raccoon-cat-seal-monster-creature-thing only grumbled at her in acknowledgement, far too busy attempting to find out how to hold his pen without any thumbs.
"Yeah yeah, I'm soooo scared... prefect's getting their steps in recently. What, are you going to join track with Deuce?"
"Ace..." Deuce sighed, turning to look at Yuu from in between the bickering troublemakers, "Don't listen to that idiot. You weren't late today! That's great!"
A more sinister, smug grin plastered onto her face, "Thank you~ I know! It is quite great, isn't it~"
"It's the bare minimum," Ace piped back up with an equally evil smirk. The playful banter had quickly become the norm for them, she knew far well enough to not take any of Ace's insults seriously.
"Shut up," Yuu bit back with a sickeningly sweet glare, watching as Ace stuck his tongue out at her before Professor Crewel called them all to attention.
Right. School... what did he say they'd be studying today?
