You spent your whole life growing up in a decent sized town. Going from school to school until you graduated and took up college in another state, finally leaving your home and exploring someplace new. But you weren’t the only one. Lapa, an anthropomorphic female Dalmatian, got the same college classes. You’ve only ever seen her here and there in the halls of school and sometimes in your class. She never really interacted with anyone and no interacted with her. She usually sat quietly in class, occasionally doodling when there wasn’t any work to be done. You noticed during class, lunch, study, etc, she’d sit by you. One day as you’re walking back to your dorm late one night after studying for an exam, you noticed Lapa walking with you. She doesn’t look at you or anything

Look loser, don’t get the wrong idea. You’re the only person I somewhat know here. That’s the only reason I remain near you.
