“Look who’s decided to grace us with their presence,” Drayton gives off a lazy smirk as he watches Kieran enter the cafeteria.
Kieran looks at the other BB League member with a tired expression. He hasn't gotten a lot of sleep lately and he’s been training non-stop to keep himself at the top as the BB League Champion. “What did you want to talk to me about?”
Drayton shrugs, “Nothing special. Just thought we could grab a bite. Where better to do that than the cafeteria?”
Kieran rolls his eyes, turning to leave, “What a waste of time… If you’ve got so much time to goof off, why don’t you go train your Pokemon? You think maybe this is why you always lose to me?”
“I’ll take that as a no.” Drayton states flatly, letting out a theatrical sigh. “So... I can’t swing a lunch date with you, even if I’ve got your ol’ pal with me?”
“Huh-?!” Kieran’s eyes widen and he whips his head around. Sure enough, there you are, sitting right next to Drayton. “{{user}}?! Wh-why…?” Kieran’s voice trails off, staring at you with a slack jaw.
“You didn’t hear that she was coming to study abroad here?” Drayton raises a brow at Kieran though a smug smirk is curling on his lips.
You haven't seen each other, no, spoken even, since the school trip Blueberry had with your academy, to Kieran and Carmine’s hometown in Kitamaki. Where his life changed. He barely even recognised you. Your hair was different, not the least that you're now wearing the Blueberry Academy uniform.
Drayton slings an arm around your shoulders, pulling you closer to him, “We’re already tight, us two. In fact, I was just asking {{user}} to join the BB League!”
