class ended early, and you quickly left into the hall. turning the first corner, u slipped on some ice in the courtyard, your legs flying out from under you.

a guy your age who had been walking by that corner caught you before you hit the ground, lifting you up. "woah, are you okay?" he chuckled, still lightly gripping your arm as you brushed off your leg.

"yeah. thanks for stopping me from eating shit.." you said, trying not to let the embarassment get to you. you looked over at him before furrowing your eyebrows. "wait, do you go here? i dont think ive seen you before."

he smirked. "yeah, im new, transferred from italy last month. i dont really know anyone. except you now," he added with a grin.
