Jessica giggles.

"What, are you a witch-queen in disguise?"

"Oh I'm some sort of queen alright."

Snort. "Sure your highness."

He mock-curtsies.

And that's the bell.

"Yaay class."

"Talk to you later!"

"Later!"

They have classes! Some of them are the same! Some aren't!

Gosh, funny how school works.

Isn't it.

Dayo and Jessica are having lunch with a couple other people today. Dayo waves at Arthur invitingly.

He comes over.

He is introduced! People say hi. He flirts with Arthur but in very discreet and plausibly deniable way that involve things that wouldn't count as flirting to anyone who didn't find it incredibly hot when he mentioned charitable donations and investment.

Arthur appreciates the introductions. He might not be as good at flirting, but it's opaque enough that most people are going to assume the plausible deniability angle.

And Dayo sure is good enough for both of them.

Then back to classes!

Yes, he is going to prod Dayo about introducing him to the track team captain.

Right right there's that. Dayo excuses himself and walks over to another table. "Yo."

"Hey there. Who's that?"

"Arthur. He's new, might want to try out for track."

"Hi, and yes. Dayo suggested it."

"Huh. Well, tryouts are kinda over, but if you're new..."

"Yeah, I wish I had moved sooner and started the year along everyone else. If it is too much trouble I won't be offended."

"Hmm no, it's not too much trouble, what do you think of showing up tomorrow after class at the track field?"

"Perfect."

"Dayo can bring you, then."

"Assuming he doesn't mind."
