Physics class was over as it was lunch break, All the students were seen taking their lunch in the cafeteria while others went back to their dorms to either cook something for themselves or do their own activities, Alex was seen eating a sandwich while he was thinking about his studies in marketing, Tomorrow was going to be another business class and Ambrose wanted to make sure to prepare himself.

He continued eating food while reading a novel. However, he was getting disturbed by the noises in the background as Ambrose looked around the cafeteria before he continued reading the novel.

He heard heels clicking on the ground as Ambrose turned around and saw the English teacher as she was looking around the cafeteria, watching the students before she noticed Alex was looking at her.

She stared at him before turning away as Ambrose stared at her, Scarlett was trying to find a seat in the cafeteria. However, she noticed it was full as Scarlett thought about going to the office, Alex could tell she wanted to sit somewhere as Ambrose called her.

Alex: Excuse me.

Johansson looked at him and raised an eyebrow as Ambrose pointed at the chair in front of him, Scarlett did find it odd to sit with a student, but she decided to sit in the chair.

Scarlett: Thank you.

Alex: It's fine, Should I go?

Scarlett was silent and looked at him before she shook her head.

Scarlett: No, It's fine. You can sit here.

She took a deep breath and looked around as Ambrose nodded, The next few minutes were full of silence between the two as Alex continued reading his book. However, he noticed she looked stressed out.

Alex: What's the matter, Miss?

Scarlett: Nothing, I'm fine.

Alex: *Closes his book* You seem stressed out.

Scarlett was surprised that he noticed how she was feeling. However, she didn't want to admit it that she was actually thinking about something.

Scarlett: No, I'm not stressed out about anything.

Alex: Are you sure?

Scarlett: Why are you asking anyway? What would you do?

Alex: You know, if you talk to someone about how you're feeling, you feel that weight off your shoulders, It's good to speak about your feelings to someone who would support and understand you.

He was right, Scarlett was impressed by what he said, She fixed her hair and gave a smile to him while speaking.

Scarlett: Good point. You're that new student, right?

He nodded as Scarlett shook her head, Alex was waiting for her to speak about her feelings, Scarlett took a deep breath before she continued talking.

Scarlett: It's just my ex boyfriend, We met again last week after we broke up four months ago.

She felt a bit awkward talking about her problems to a student, But Alex really wanted to know what was going on with her and she decided to pour her feelings to him, Scarlett was also planning on telling her friends about it.

Scarlett:We were neutral after our breakup, and we shared a chill conversation. However, he told me that he wanted to date me again. So I'm been just thinking about that.

Alex nodded and noticed Scarlett was looking at the table while having her hands clasped together, Ambrose looked at her as He spoke to her.

Alex: Sorry, I know it seems personal, but what happened between you two?

Scarlett: It was just constant arguments and stuff. We felt like our relationship wasn't working out.

Alex: Okay, be honest with me. . . What does your heart say?

Scarlett: I don't know as well, He's a great guy. He never did anything wrong to me.

Alex: But is there something you didn't like from him?

She was silent when he said that, Scarlett looked at the ground before speaking to him again.

Scarlett: Maybe I just wished he understood how I feel, He never hears my problems and feelings, He just argues with me and thinks I'm just overreacting or overthinking.

Alex looked at her and did have something in common, He was also an overthinker himself. Scarlett was already feeling more stressed out.

Alex: So you think he's not right for you?

Scarlett: . . . . . . . I think it's better if we move on, but I'm not sure.

Alex: Look, Miss Johanssson, whatever gives you peace and happiness, go for it. You shouldn't be doing it for others, You should be doing something for your own happiness.

Scarlett looked at him as both of them were silent, She knew he was right about it and now she already felt like she made her decision, She gave a small smile to him and already liked how kind he was.

Scarlett: Thank you, Alex. I think I know what to do.

Alex: You're welcome, Miss

Scarlett: I feel better now, Thanks again. I'm gonna head to my office.

Ambrose gave a small smile and nodded as Scarlett walked away while thinking about what he said.

Meanwhile, Jason was seen making his way to the sports club, He was planning on joining the football club as Shadow was seen in the football court as he saw a lot of students playing football together.

Jason was watching them as He wanted to look for the leader of the club, Jason continued watching the students until someone bumped into him as Jason immediately turned around and felt worried as he saw who it was.

Jessica: Ow, sorry about that.

McKay looked at him as Jason was staring at her, She was wearing the football uniform, and it seemed like she was part of the club and finished practicing, Jessica wiped the sweat off her forehead as she looked at Jason.

Jessica: Hello?

Jason: Oh, It's okay. Don't worry about it.

Jessica: *Takes a sip of her water bottle* What are you doing here anyway?

Jason: I'm looking for the football club's leader.

Jessica: Leader!? Oh my friend, you are already talking to the leader!!!

She laughed and pointed at herself as Jason was shocked and confused until McKay's smile faded away as she awkwardly looked at him.

Jessica: Oh. . . You wanted to see the male's leader, right?

Jason: Yeah?

She facepalmed as Jason chuckled at her reaction, Jessica blushed and realised she embarrassed herself as McKay smiled at him.

Jessica: I'm sorry, That was embarrassing, I'm actually the leader on the female's side. I'm not sure where the leader is at, but I saw the male's gym teacher walking earlier, Maybe you could ask him.

Jason: It's alright, and thanks, I'll ask him right away.

Jessica: *Smiles* How long have you been playing football?

Jason: Since I was eight years old.

Jessica: Wow, that's amazing. Would you like to be a football player in the future?

Jason: I'm. . . I'm not sure about that.

Jessica laughed as Jason just chuckled before she patted his shoulder.

Jessica: I'm just kidding, It would have been cool, though. Anyways, see you later.

They smiled at each other as Jessica walked away, Jason took a deep breath and found this conversation very awkward, He never really spoken to that many people, but he did like how funny Jessica was.

He walked away to find the teacher as Jessica was watching him before she went to find her friend, Cassie.

Jason found both the gym teacher and the football club's leader as They were talking about the club and wanted to know some of Jason's stats, The leader happily agreed on letting Jason join the club as Shadow was now a new member of the club.

Jason was really happy knowing that he gets to play in sports, Next week was going to be another practice and that's what made Jason more excited now, He goes back to the college and wanted to tell his friends about the news.

However, he was also thinking about the other leader of the football club, Now that he joined the club, He knew he was going to see her very often.

Meanwhile, there was a secret fight happening in the gym where some students were watching the opponents fight as the fight was over when the student knocked the other student down.

Everyone was cheering as they dragged the unconscious student away, They already had a way to wake him up as Finn Balor was clapping for the winner before he took off his jacket and walked forward.

Finn: Alright, It's my turn. Who wants to fight me?

Luis: I'm already putting my money on Finn!

Rhea: Shush, let's first see who the opponent is.

Finn: Do you think I'm not tough enough?

Rhea: *Shrugs* You are, but I bet there is someone else who is tough as you.

Finn: Riiight, Anyways, come and face me, lads!

Student: I'll face you!

Suddenly, someone pushed the student away as everyone was shocked when they saw who it was, It was Damian Calaway. Finn's eyes widen as Damian stares at Balor while removing his jacket.

Luis: Oh boy. . . Finn, I think you should-

Rhea: Nope, He already stepped in. It's over.

Finn stared at Rhea as she smiled at her friend, Damian stared coldly into Finn's eyes as Balor stared at him but did feel a bit creeped out by his stare.

Finn: Alright, you wanna do this?

Balor was in the fighting stance as the other students stepped back in fear and watched what was happening, Damian stared in silence and was ready to fight.

Rhea: *Smirks* My money is on Damian.

Luis: Seriously? Rhea, you're a traitor.

Rhea sticked her tongue out and smiled as Damian took a quick glance at Rhea before the fight finally began.

Finn hit a few strikes at Damian but he felt no pain, Balor tried to put more effort in his attacks but for some reason it didn't seem to effect the mysterious man, Damian pushed Finn and kicked his gut as Finn was holding his gut and stared at Damian.

Finn: Ouch, that hurts.

Damian surprised Finn with a hard punch in the jaw as everyone was shocked while Luis cringed, Rhea was more impressed by his strong strikes as Finn was holding his jaw in pain as the students were afraid of what Damian was gonna do to Finn.

Finn began kicking Damian but Calaway was blocking all his attacks and punched him in the face as Finn was shocked and tried to hit him but Damian immediately dodged his strike.

[10 minutes later]

The fight was getting more intense as Finn was exhausted and hurt, Damian didn't seem to feel anything as Balor tried to attack him again. However, Damian hit a combo that shocked everyone.

Luis: Geez! You alright, Finn!?

Rhea: Wow, That was awesome.

Luis stared at Rhea as the others were shocked until Finn went back and told Damian to stop, Calaway could have attacked him but he thought Balor had enough as Damian was the winner of the fight.

Rhea began laughing at Balor as Finn glared at his friend as Ripley fixed her hair and said something.

Rhea: See? I told you.

Finn: *Sighs* Just. . . Help me get up.

Luis went to help his best friend as Rhea smiled and looked at Damian who was putting on his jacket, Calaway glanced at Rhea again as Ripley continued staring at him before she went to check on Finn.
