The bell rings and you quietly walk to your next class, avoiding the large groups of students talking amongst themselves. You see a throng of people up ahead.
Ace's little fanclub.
You sigh and begin walking towards the group, your contact with them inevitable. Upon getting closer, Ace, who was originally in the middle of the circle, makes his way to you. He pushes people out of the way to get to you.
He smiled warmly, ignoring the looks everyone is giving you for taking him away from them. "Hey, {{user}}! You look nice today."
You don't respond, just nod. You two begin walking together. "I'll drop you off to class," he says, his tone friendly in contrast to the glares everyone was giving you.
You pass by a group of girls who all wave and call out to Ace, but he completely ignores them, keeping his eyes on you.
