I should mention, there's a bunch of round tables in the cafeteria. Not sure if I mentioned that. Enjoy :3

The bell rang, marking the end of fourth period, and the start of lunch. Bennett sat down next to Chongyun, Xiangling, and Xingqiu again. He opened his bag for his lunch and—

"How does this always happen?" He asked himself. He sighed as he got back up.

"You're a forgetful person huh?" Chongyun asked.

"Nope, just unlucky." Bennett replied, walking to get lunch. Now, he was at the back of the line. He slowly walked through, and after about fifteen minutes, he got his lunch.

"How does it take that long?" Bennett asked himself, walking back to his friend's table. As he did, he glanced over at Fischl's table again. She sat there alone.

"Still waiting for someone? Wait..." He thought for a moment. He stopped walking and kinda just stared at her.

"Is she really waiting?" He asked himself. Fischl ate her lunch like there was no problem. Bennett's mind couldn't wrap around it. If he was last, who was she waiting for? He began walking over. He took a seat across the table. As he did, Fischl looked up from her foot. The two made eye contact.

"H-Hi." Bennett said.

"Oh! Greetings again, Bennett! How does this school's energy supply make for your energy supply?" Fischl asked. Bennett's mind ran.

"Energy supply... school's..." He thought. It took him a second to respond, putting it together.

"Great! How about yours?" He asked. Fischl smiled.

"Hehe, curious? It has several great components of a perfect meal and energy supply in this realm!" Fischl laughed, lifting her side of her lunchbox to show a bit of the food. She had rice, chicken, and other fruits and vegetables.

"Cool! Did you make it?" Bennett asked. Fischl turned red.

"O-Of course I have! What type of Prinzessin would I be if I didn't know how to cook?" She asked. Bennett laughed a bit.

"That's a good point." He said, finally beginning to eat. Even with the two talking at the same table, they stayed at opposite sides. Bennett didn't really care though. Fischl was sitting alone, but she wasn't anymore. Maybe, being on the other side was better. His luck didn't reach her that way, or so he believed...



"One, two, three, play your part!" Kazuha announced. Everyone in the band class attempted to play their instrument. Bennett did decently before dropping his drumstick, Fischl played pretty well, and Xinyan completely destroyed it. In a good way of course. Kazuha sighed. As well as she did, it was hard to incorporate an electric guitar with instruments such as trumpets and violins.

"Alright, that's it for today. You guys are getting better." Kazuha said. Everyone cheered for their advancement in their instrument. As they did, a teacher opened the room's door. Bennett glanced over while talking with Fischl and Xinyan.

"Who is she?" He asked. A teacher walked over to Kazuha. The teacher had black hair.

"That's a he." Xinyan said.

"Huh!?" Both Fischl and Bennett exclaimed.

"Quite the class you have here." The teacher said. It was Venti, the choir teacher.

"Yeah. However, I definitely have an exception." Kazuha replied, staring at Xinyan.

"That's the art of music. The creativity behind all the instruments!" Venti exclaimed.

"Yeah! I agree!" Xinyan exclaimed, overhearing them. Venti gave a thumbs up...



"Dude, where we're you?" Xingqiu asked in English class.

"What do you mean?" Bennett asked in return.

"At lunch. You went to get food and disappeared." He said.

"Oh... I... sat with another friend of mine." Bennett replied. Xingqiu stared at him for a second.

"You have more friends than just us?" He asked.

"Rude." Bennett replied. Fischl glanced over, then began reading her story more. Bennett sighed, sitting back in his chair.

"It doesn't matter. I thought you liked reading. Stop talking and read now." Bennett said. Xingqiu sighed.

"Sorry for prying. Just curious." He said. Bennett stared at his story. He didn't know why, but he didn't want to say he sat with Fischl. Why? Was it humiliation? Was he scared to? He didn't know. By the end of class, he read only two pages of the story he chose...






After School...

"Hey Razor!" Bennett greeted. Razor walked over to the group. Long story short, he had a bunch of different classes with them because... well, he wasn't the brightest for a number of reasons. That didn't matter though. Lisa would make him into a functional part of society. In fact, the one class they actually shared was gym.

"Hi... friends." Razor said. Chongyun did a small wave as Xingqiu smiled.

"Sup." He said. The five began walking together on their way home. Bennett glanced at the sky a bit. Partly cloudy. It was weather you could go outside in.

"Oh yeah! Tomorrow's a Friday!" He exclaimed.

"You forgot?" Xingqiu asked.

"Not really. I'm just pointing it out..." He muttered.

"I see! Tomorrow, alas, is the day of rejoice! We shall be freed from the shackles of cursed information." Fischl exclaimed. She just wanted the weekend as well. Everyone departed soon enough as Razor and Bennett hung out for the rest of that day.

"Hey everyone! Look who's here!" Bennett exclaimed, motioning toward Razor.

"Hello... again." Razor greeted. This wasn't Razor's first time coming over there. All of Bennett's dads and moms loved him as well.

"Razor! How's it been?" One of Bennett's moms asked. Razor nodded. That means good.



"So, how're you enjoying school here?" Bennett asked. Razor didn't say anything for a second. They were sitting in Bennett's messy room.

"Fun... new." He said. Bennett laughed a bit.

"Yeah. A lot of our classmates are pretty cool. Have you met Xinyan?" Bennett asked. Razor looked confused.

"Spiky woman?" Bennett asked. Razor nodded rapidly.

"Yeah. She plays the guitar really well." Bennett said.

"Music good!" Razor exclaimed. Bennett sighed. He walked over and turned on a TV. He bent down to under it, rummaging through some stuff.

"What about Xingqiu? Dark blue?" Bennett asked.

"Reads lot... I don't understand much..." Razor replied. Xingqiu usually did speak in bigger words. However, never on Fischl's level.

"What about Fischl? Hm... eyepatch?" Bennett asked, trying to come up with a "Razor name" for her.

"Confusing... no understand..." He said. Bennett laughed.

"I didn't think so." He said. He pulled out two controllers as he turned on a console.

"Wanna play?" He asked. Razor nodded. As bad with English as he is, he was quite skilled at video games. Bennett plopped down next to him.

"What about Chongyun? Light blue?" He asked.

"Cold... but nice." He said. Chongyun was a cold person. The two talked about school and other things as they played games for the rest of the day...
