@vera sauntered down to the school gates. The PE teacher was nowhere to be seen, as he was that late. However, the one person that was still left, was Aoi, the physical manifestation of Art Of Infinity Magic, but everyone just used the shortened version. She was president of the Student Council, as only someone of her high class and perseverance could help keep the school running as nicely as it was.
She was beautiful in every regard. Her body was generous, and her long black hair flowed down like waves on a dark stormy sea. Her eyes were a striking blue, emblematic of her cold and aloof, yet strangely inviting attitude, like Josef Mengle before her, and her features were all dainty, like porcelain, yet looked like they could stand up to the worst of abuse thrown at them.
@vera looked like dave from work.
“つま先を吸う,” Aoi said, with a slightly annoyed face. As the president, she was forced to keep up appearances and thus was rarely seen showing any kind of emotion.
“The fuck you say? Come on, you know I don’t speak that gay-ass weeb language,” @vera said, slightly perplexed.
“Sorry, I’m using Kahoot premium to learn japanes-’’ she started, before being cut off.
“Yeah, yeah, don’t you have anything better to do? To the untrained eye, it would almost seem like you were, say, waiting for me?” he said, grinning.
“Hey, you know graduations in a week, right? You line up anyone cute to ask out before that?” He said nervously, half-joking.
“No, I’m not very interested in romance, honestly,” Aoi said, hoping he wouldn’t catch on.
He tried to trip her, but suddenly found her behind him, and fell flat on the pavement.
“Hey, did you stop time again? I told you not to do that for petty jokes!” He said, picking himself up hastily.
To this, Aoi let herself give a rare small smile. They had been childhood friends and had essentially grown up together, being different as they were, and were steadfast friends.
“But, it’d be great if… we were something more,” they both thought, as they walked back to school together, @vera craving jokes along the way.

@vera sat in the back of the classroom, next to the window, and he yawned as he sat in his math class. He was quite good at most academic studies, but it wasn’t exactly his favourite subject. As usual, Aoi, who was beside him, was diligently taking down notes.
“Hey, you wouldn’t mind if I took a nap, and copied your notes later right?” he asked, mischievously.
“No, do your own work, how else are you supposed to succeed on your own if I’m always helping you?” she said, remaining cold, with a hint of playfulness, in her voice. “Anyways, be quiet, we have Kobe Bryant on as a guest speaker today!’ she said, excitedly. Despite the airs she put on, sports were one of the few things she was truly passionate about, and she could go on about it for hours.
“What, his corpse?” he said, humorously, but pulled back when he saw her flinch.
“Oh right, he’s dead. Must have been thinking of last year. Still so sad, even after all this time.” she said, giving out a weak laugh, and looking downtrodden.
“Oh sorry, I didn’t mean to-” he started, fumbling with his words before the teacher cut him off.
“Hey!” the teacher shouted, “No talking in class!”
“Sorry, Teach,” @vera said, as he sheepishly slid back into his seat.
:------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------:
@vera and Aoi were walking out of their school, hanging out on the roof, which, as a council member, Aoi had access to.
“Dang, that was a crazy week huh?” @vera asked Aoi. “Remember when @ThatOneGuy asked out Apocalypse Bringer and blew up half the school?” he said, chuckling.
“Yep, god, that was horrible for the council. You have no idea how hard it is to explain to the government why half the school was blasted into the stratosphere,” she said, with an unreadable expression.
“So, uh, a crazy thing happened actually,” @vera said, sheepishly.
“What?” Aoi asked, curious.
“Well, I found a love letter inside my desk the other day,” @vera said, waiting to gauge her reaction. She was shocked but composed herself.
“So, who was it from?” Aoi asked, innocently enough, even though she was dying to hear his answer.
“Uh well, you see, the thing is, it’s actually my letter that I left in my desk,” he said, averting his gaze.
“U-um, sorry, what was that? The, uh, the wind is too loud, yeah,” Aoi said, shakily.
“I said it was my letter,” he said, this time louder.
“So, who was it for?” Aoi asked, not daring to hope.
“Y-you,” He said, taking the letter out of his pocket, and handing it to her. Aoi began to tear up, as she hugged him.
“Yeah, me too,” she whispered into his ear, as they embraced.
“So, uh, where are you going for university? Don’t want to be left behind, academically that is,” she chuckled. “I mean, what’s the worst that it could be? Oxford?”
“I’m going to Oxford!” he said ecstatically. “I got my acceptance letter last week!”
“Oh, that’s… great,” she said, feeling deflated. Noticing her downtrodden expression, he tried to cheer her up.
“O-oh, but, don’t worry, my family is loaded, so they can just buy you in!” he said, embracing her again. She pulled away, with a disgusted expression on her face.
“I will not stand for such a disgusting slight against the working class,” she said, staring off into the distance.
“O-oh no, that was just a joke. However, I did some talking with the professors there, and they said they’ll be happy to take you on with a full sports scholarship!” He said, pulling her closer, this time with her responding warmly.
“Hey, @vera?” she said.
“Yeah?” he replied.
“I love you,” Aoi said.
“Me too,” he replied.
A/N:
This takes place after the WSA, or the Weeb State Of America had expanded their operations, claiming Japan as their cultural homeland and beginning WW3, using their transhumanist tools to subjugate and control the population, creating schools like this one, which was all traditional high school rom-com settings. XD
Ok, if we’re being serious here, to keep with tradition, I made this in an hour, and at 2 AM. I hope you guys are happy with this. Didn’t pack as many tropes into this one, sry. Just ping me if you want me to do something for you too. Just expect a delay.
