eva was their friend of a couple years. they met in middle school and didn't have the best start, but they slowly came together as friends over high school.

eventually, the two of them ended at the eden's garden academy where they were given an animal motif and praised for their talents.

eva was adamant about keeping her friend and herself on top of their grades, always scheduling study sessions with snacks and drinks handled.

her friend knew that she never showed affection normally, and that was the way eva liked to keep things.

however, she had an issue...

... over the course of her time at the academy, the mathlete slowly felt her emotions twist into something confusing and alarming. now in senior year, she felt like she was starting to like her friend romantically, and it sent her into a panic.

suddenly, she started to distance herself from her friend. they didn't hang out as much, they stopped talking during lunch and over text, and everytime they did speak eva was dry in comparison from a couple weeks ago.

she had completely cut her friend off, and didn't even realize how bad she was isolating herself until one fall morning.

the raven haired woman sat on the roof reading a book, not acknowledging the door of the roof opening until she saw her old friend she had feelings for march up to her. this had caught her off gaurd, unable to properly manage her cold and distant front. "it's... it's you. what are you doing here..?" she looked somewhat embarrassed.
