Feier wanted to give her friend the benefit of the doubt. After all, Ray had it, right? She tried her absolute hardest to stop herself from interrupting Ray and Daria’s argument, only to realize her friend’s “I got this” and her “I got this” were not the same. She sat there and witnessed the two arrange a fight, before the first day of school even started, over nothing else but the quality of food at a welcome party. All within minutes of Ray’s arrival.

[color=ce2029][i]This must be some type of new record,[/i][/color] she thought to herself. What seemed odd to Fei was how quick the pink-haired girl was to schedule such at fight. [i]Thirty minutes before sundown. Let us test our constitutions.[/i] With phrasing like that, one would forget the trivial matters that made the fight start in the first place. Daria made it sound like an epic battle to defend their pride. Fei knew Ray would be fine because of his portals, but something in her wanted to see how it played out. 

She confirmed the boy’s statement on how they met by returning the fist bump but was puzzled by his comment about another incident. [color=ce2029]“There was another one?”[/color] She asked. [color=ce2029][i]And August did it,[/i][/color] she thought. That was news she wasn’t expecting to hear. Her own expulsion and Ray’s made sense, but she wondered just what the yellow-haired bot could’ve done to end up expelled. The councilor showed up before she was able to ask.

Part of her thought about correcting Ms. Eli’s assumptions. Another part of her thought that the slime woman’s convenient timing would surely result in something to tease her friend about. Thankfully, the woman delivered, and Fei had a hard time keeping herself from bursting with laughter. She looked over towards the pink-haired girl and tried to remember her face. Feier just [i]had[/i] to draw Daria and Reagan sitting in a tree once she had some down-time.

The second Ray started talking about jellies was the second Fei wanted to tune out completely. [color=ce2029]”Do you know how [i]weird[/i] that is, Ray?”[/color] She commented. Soon after, her attention shifted over to the remaining catgirl. Just great, she thought, rolling her eyes. More fuel being added to the fire. While the fire mage supposed the other girl’s annoyances were justified, she couldn’t help but think Ray, Daria, and Helena were stupid for taking an opinion on food quality this far. Thankfully the slime woman changed the topic before things got even further out of hand. Upon hearing that she would be sharing a room with Ray and August, all of her annoyances suddenly disappeared and turned into excitement. She bursted out of her seat and to Raegan’s side.

[color=ce2029]“Did you hear?”[/color] Fei asked. Her eyes were fully opened and her brows were up high. Her cheerful nature was shining through again and it showed in how her speech sped up. [color=ce2029]“We get to share a room,”[/color] she said before beginning to look around. [color=ce2029]“With... with...”[/color] She was looking for August, who would’ve been easy to spot again if she had seen him recently. There was a gap between her expulsion and her getting the motivation to apply to new schools. Finally being accepted into another school was one good event (even if it was easy to get in), being able to see one of her good friends again was another, but sharing a room with people that she went to school with before might’ve been the best news so far. It would make the transition easy and the rest of the school year even easier. Now, if only she could find August. Ah! [color=ce2029]“Him!”[/color] She pointed over to the boy who seemed to be talking with... a little kid? Was a teenage pregnancy the incident that got August expelled?

...

[color=ce2029][i]...Okay, let’s get real here.[/i][/color]

Ignoring the odd pairing, she turned back around to her friend with a beaming smile. [color=ce2029]“The slime lady said we should tell him, so can we go over and talk to him? Pleaaase?”[/color] She asked, anticipating Ray’s answer. Maybe the two of them could meet August’s [s]kid[/s] [i]friend[/i] as well. Although, now that she knew she would be sharing a room with Ray... maybe she would wake him up [i]extra[/i] early for his duel?
