The next day, 7:43 AM, Wellston Courtyard


It was the next morning, when John walked out from the dormitories to go to his first class. He noticed that Sera waiting for him just outside

John yawned, and stretched his arms "Morning Sera..."

"Why are you so sleepy? What happened yesterday?" She asked, raising an eyebrow

Exactly what you wanted me to do" John replied, "Help her avenge her brother"

"You're making it sound so easy..." Sera sighed

"What are you talking about?" John chuckled, "If you had your ability, you could've probably took ember out faster than I can even blink"

"That's not what I mean" She replied, "It might've been easy for you, but not Remi. Anyway... How was it?" 

"Urgh..." John groaned in disgust, "Remi was a pain in the ass"

Said John. But he didn't seem to be hating it. Not to mention that he was actually smiling when he said that

"But you seem to be enjoying it"

John didn't reply, but quietly listened instead

"Anyways, I haven't eaten anything yet" She continued,  "Want to go to the cafeteria? Actually... Have we EVER eaten together before at the cafeteria?"

"Huh? We actually haven't..." John was confused at the fact, "But Sera, you sure you wanna go there? theres a lot of students there"

"Well... How else are we supposed to get food then?" She asked, raising an eyebrow

John sighed, knowing well that they won't be able to eat their food peacefully on the rooftop anymore. Just thinking about it was enough to ruin his day

7:55 AM, Wellston Cafeteria


After the two has already gotten their food, Sera seemed to be looking for an empty table all over, even though there was one right in front of them.

"Sera..." John began, "What are you looking for? There's an empty table literally in front of us"

"Hang on, I'm just looking for my friends... Look! there they are!" She said, while pointing her finger at them

"W-what?... Sera I don't think that's a good idea. You know that i'm not good with people" He said, trying to reassure her

"Huh? No I don't?... Besides. you did good pissing me off that day when you dropped me that cake"

John sighed, "Look, I'm sorry ok? Can we just sit in this empty table for today?"

"Nope! You're coming with me John... You need to learn to talk to different people other than me!"

Those words, it seemed that it caught John's attention for a bit. It almost sounded the same when he tried to persuade her to come to Woaba Boba for the first time

"Nope! You're coming with me Sera... You need to learn to relax every once in a while. Ever had Boba?" 

 'It's really ironic' He thought. It almost seemed like their personalities really have been swapped between them. Before he knew it, she was the one that was trying to do the same

...

'Sera... You're truly special'

'Even if you know that your best friend has been lying to you, you still consider me a friend'

'Even as a cripple, you've managed to make multiple friends... Unlike me, you're an inspiration'

'Thank you, for still sticking with me to this day'

Suddenly, Sera noticed that he was spacing out, and proceeded to wave her hand in front of his face "John, what's wrong?"

John chuckled, and gave off a genuine smile "Alright fine...I'll go with you"
