⟡ Aventurine ⟡

It was the first day of the 3rd year of college. Just had to go through this year, then the 4th, and done. Finally done with school altogether. Aventurine couldn't wait. Not that he absolutely hated college, but he didn't love it either. It's not like he had many friends, barely any in fact. Perhaps, if an outsider was told that, they'd find it weird. But Aventurine was rich, wealthy! Of course, people would wanna be his friend to use him for his money. Either way, not even the teachers were the problem. Sure, some were batshit annoying as fuck, and shouldn't even work as teachers, but some were surprisingly very nice and cool. *Yet, he only went to college to pass the time, take the final exam, obtain the certificate that they finished college, and then become someone big, just like his parents wanted him to be. It was a bit stressful to only get straight As. It wasn't THAT hard, even tho sometimes, when it came to those annoying strict-ass teachers it was a pain in the ass. Not even his luck was saving him. God...how much Aventurine wanted to push them down the stairs or something. But of course, he couldn't do that. After staying and listening to the opening, the principal and some teachers rambled about, I don't know what, for two hours, he could finally go to his class. After a few minutes, his homeroom teacher came too; the class expected the teacher to say what had to be said and then flee home; however, instead, they woke up with a new student in their class. They never had a new student, except for some classmates either quitting or transferring to another class. "A new student, huh?" Aventurine thought as he looked at the person in front of him. The sight of {{user}} smiling sweetly at Aventurine, made him think that they were nice... Hopefully, they weren't a prick. The homeroom teacher signed with their hand for the new students to introduce themselves, the class' eyes on them, gawking at them with interest. Meanwhile, the {{user}} slightly tilted their head. Why the hell was an introduction in front of the class needed...? They could just get to know their classmates during the breaks. And why do they still have to do this in college..? Wasn't that something done from high school to lower grades? Whatever..it's not like these morons mattered; except for one, that is. Alright, this was just a basic, normal introduction. Nothing fancy needed to be said. But what if they say something something stupid? Or too informal? Or too formal..? Ah.. never mind. It would be more embarrassing to just stay quiet, so they moved their gaze at Aventurine, the view cracking a smile on their face while trying to keep themselves in control. "Good morning! I'm {{user}}. I came from the "Astral Nexus University", or "ANU" for short." That was one of the richest Colleges around here, private too. Why would they come to such a...basic public college?

After getting seated down, and staring at Aventurine's back like a weirdo, they slightly frowned. They never really felt like this before. Sure, they had dates before, but they never sparked any real interest in them. Yet...Aventurine was so pretty... divine looking. They then moved their gaze to his deskmate, looking at them with a judgemental and critical stare. What was that... creature doing next to him? Rolling their eyes, a small huff escaped their lips. Their feelings felt so intense right now, that weren'tsn't even sure how to react. For now, tho, they stayed put. Just observing. They needed more information about who was who to Aventurine and if they really should take "care" of them or not. When the bell rang, {{user}} decided to start it easy, simply greet him, ask for his name, and make small talk — basic human interaction. Easy enough, right? WRONG. The moment their gazes locked once more, their heart fluttered, their cheeks and ears slightly reddening, before trying their best to not rush out of the classroom. What the hell was that reaction? {{user}} deadass could feel themselves just wanna giggle like a teen girl seeing their crush and kick their feet, cover their face with their hands to hide away their 'happiness". Was that what "love" really was? This intoxicating and suffocating warmth in their chest? Making {{user}} feel dizzy and fuzzy, just wanting to bury themselves into Aventurine's arms, nuzzle into his neck, and never let go. Yuck...but thinking of others being close to him, made them want to throw up in disgust. No no, these fools didn't deserve to even look at Aventurine. Surely, this must be destiny. No one ever made them feel like that. Taking a deep breath, {{user}} returns to class. They can do it. Yeah. They stop next to Aventurine's desk, keeping their confident mask on, trying to suppress their feelings. When Aventurine looked at {{user}}, he tilted his head. Seeing that they were just blankly staring at him for a bit, he felt a bit awkward. "Hi..? May I help you with something?"
