Alexandria grabbed the hand of Samantha and shook them.

“You know, you look very familiar. Where have I seen or heard about you before?” Alexandria asked as she moved closer to the face of Samantha. To have a closer look while gripping those soft hands of hers, preventing her from escaping.

“Ummmhhhh, your face is too close, Athena-san.” Samantha looked away from Alexandria with her face turning red from embarrassment.

“Wahhhh!! Do you know Japanese?” Alexandria asked.

“Only a little. My mother and I loved watching anime. So we learned some stuff together, and it kind of became a habit for me. I hope that it’s not that cringe for you though. ” Samantha answered Alexandria while trying to move away from her grasp.

“Nope, not at all. I think it’s, cute. You must have a very cool mother. My mother, on the other hand, only knows how to scold me every single day. ” Alexandria said.

“Hey Alex, you’re scaring her.” noticing the racket behind him, Ezekiel turned around from his seat and smacked Alexandria’s hands away from Samantha.

“My name is Ezekiel S. Ascle. Nice to meet you and, by the way, don’t stick too close with Alex. She brings trouble with her all the time,” Ezekiel handed his hand, introducing himself to Samantha.

“Nice to meet you too,” Samantha replied, shook his hand with a smile.

“Hey! I don’t bring a lot of trouble with me! The one that probably brings trouble around every time we’re together is you. It’s like trouble is hunting the both of us.” Alex argued.

“And don’t butt in here so suddenly, I don’t want to get scolded by the teacher again because of you. So shut the hell up, I will deal with you later. I’ll make sure you will see the deepest part of hell, so, stay still there for now and mind your own business.” Alexandria gave Ezekiel a threatening glare.

Samantha giggled shyly on the side, looking at the two of them.

“Don’t mind that guy he is, just a nuisance in my life. Oh yeah, don’t call me Athena, you can call me Alex instead.” Alex said while rubbing the hand that Ezekiel smacked.

“I think both of you look cute together. I’m kind of jealous, though. I only get to talk with a few people. Since I only have my parents and some pets to play with at home.” Samantha looked down.

“I rarely got the chance to go out and communicate with others my age.” Samantha said quietly, almost like a whisper.

Alexandria panicked because Samantha looks like a person that is almost on the brink of crying. Alexandria quickly tried to think of something to cheer her up, but she can’t think of anything no matter how much she looked around her surroundings.

Ezekiel suddenly turned around again and talked to Samantha.” You know what, How about we eat our lunch together?”

“Yeah, great idea, let’s do that, I am so hungry right now since I only ate at dawn, and all those time waiting under the scorching sun for a couple of hours just made it worse.” Alexandria quickly agreed to Ezekiel’s plan to cheer up the environment.

Alexandria then gave Ezekiel a thank you look by saving her the trouble this time.

“Maybe I should lessen his punishment a bit since he saved me this time. I think a punch to the gut and a kick in the ass will do.” Alexandria thought.

Samantha’s face brightened up a little.

“Thanks, that would be awesome.” Samantha replied.

Seeing Samantha cheered up, Alex can now rest at ease since she only got a couple of hours of sleep.

Alexandria lightly smacked the shoulders of Ezekiel.

“Hey, wake me up when the introductions are over. I’m just gonna take a quick nap.” Alexandria said while yawning.

She then hurriedly put her arms on the table then rested her head on her arms.

“What? I am also planning on taking a quick nap.” Ezekiel said.

“It is your fault that we slept so late. So you have no right to refuse.” Alexandria answered, while still resting on her arms.

“Hey, it is also your fault for inviting me for a raid so late at night.”

“Hey Alex, Yoohoo Alex, Alexandria~~.”

Seeing that it is already pointless since Alex is no longer replying, Ezekiel then decided to turn around and wait for his turn. But before he could turn around, he sees Samantha eagerly listening to the introductions at the front of the class. Ezekiel then thought of an idea.

“Samantha!” Ezekiel called out the attention of Samantha.

“Yes?” Samantha answered

“Can I ask you a favor?”

“Favor?”

“You see, Alexandria and I are both night owls. And both of us kind of slept very late today. So can you do me a little favor to wake me up when my turn is up for introduction? In exchange, I will pay for our lunch later. Oh, and don’t worry about Alex, I will wake her up myself. I only want to have a little rest.” Ezekiel embarrassedly explained to Samantha.

“Sure, no worries, I got you guys covered.” Samantha replied with a smile.

“Thanks, you’re a great help.” Ezekiel thanked Samantha. Ezekiel then turned around and hurriedly followed Alexandria. Putting his arms on the table and resting his head, and fell asleep.

“They do look good together.” Samantha mumbled to herself while looking at the sleeping figures of Alexandria and Ezekiel.

…

Several minutes have passed, almost all of the students have finished introducing themselves except for the last column.

…

Samantha then decided to wake Ezekiel up. Samantha gently touched the back of Ezekiel then rocked it.

“Ezekiel, wake up our turn is almost up.” Samantha whispered quietly while still rocking his body.

Ezekiel woke up from the gentle and warm hands of Samantha.

Ezekiel turned around from his seat. “I’m awake, I’m awake, thanks, Samantha.”

After thanking Samantha, Ezekiel turned to look in front of him to see that only 3 are people left before his turn. Ezekiel then fixes himself up since that nap made him look so messy, and it will be embarrassing to in front with messy hair, messy face and etc.

…

“Do you have any mirror?” Ezekiel asked..

Samantha grabbed her bag and looked for one.

“Here”

Ezekiel grabbed the mirror, then firstly fixed his very messy hair. “Thanks.”

“How do I look?” After a few minutes of fixing his self up, Ezekiel turned to Samantha and asked.

“You look great,” Samantha answered and gave him a thumbs up.

…

“Thank you for that wonderful introduction. Look like only two people haven’t introduced themselves yet. Next person, please.” Miss Maria looked at the seat of Ezekiel and Samantha.
