Eventually school starts again and everyone goes through the motions of two classes until the first break begins. Deus repeats his usual sign shenanigans and no one says anything. Sighing, he puts it away and goes to walk out of the class to pester the other classes, but stops to look at Stefania. Without saying anything, he places a single berry on her desk, much to her confusion, and walks away.
Kouji, remembering that had it not been for Liam he would've gotten lost in the forest for god knows how long (even though we have GPS maps), decides now is as good as time as any to attempt to socialize. Swallowing his pride, he walks around the class and attempts to exchange contact info with everyone, knowing that in the worst case he can just open his phone and if he's lucky go to the nearest person on the map. Caterina is first, and he goes down the line. The only people he struggles with compared to normal are as follows (including their conversations, or what little I remember of them).
Stefania
>Kouji: “Hey, no pressure. I get lost easily so if it isn’t a bother could I get your contact info so I can use the GPS feature?”>She trembles but nods. Contact gotten.Caitlin
>Kouji: “Can I get your number?”>Caitlin: “Hm? Normally I’d charge a bit for that piece of info, but because you helped me out in the first day, consider this me paying you back.”>Contact geto>>55544445Funny you mention that, almost all of the guys during P.E. stretch and work out harder trying to keep up with her, just for the golden opportunity to see... the gates. It always comes so, so close, but never quite there.
