Work Text:
The day is just starting as usual in Ninjago high school, as everyone is walking by in the school hall. Sora was listening to her music on her headphones, while her friends were talking besides her. Jordana talks about some biology class while Obscuria plays her video game.
“And so I was complaining to Mr. Julien– Hey, isn’t that the new kid?” Jordana asks as she points out to the new kid, which made Obscuria curious that she stopped her game. “Which one? I heard there were two new students” she said, clearly curious about it. Sora didn’t hear what they were saying in their own conversation, and continued to walk to her locker but she didn’t watch where she went and accidentally bumped into someone. Until that someone caught her mid falling, hand on her waist. When Sora opened her eyes she saw a cute guy in front of her, his curly hair, brown eyes and his most eye-catching orange hoodie.
Sora seems to be lost in her mind as the guy smiles awkwardly and tries to ask her if she is alright. Even her friend's voice seems to be muted while she’s still in ‘shock’ from that fall. “Whoah there, you seem about to have your face squashed to the floor…” he said, helping Sora standing up right while he picked up her book. Sora then cuts out from her daze and realises her book was in his hand as she takes it from him. Their fingers brushed for a little, a jolt happened there for a moment. “Sorry…” he was about to say more but the bell already rang for the next class.
“Oh, I guess that’s the bell. See you later, pink girl” the guy said with a charming smile as he left with his friend beside him. That left Sora staring straight at where the guy before, later she got jumpscared by both Jordana and Obscuria screaming at both ears. “SORAA!!” both screamed, making her jolt in surprise just now. She instantly looked at both of her friends as they now had a grinning mischievous face plastered on them.
She knows what that look means. And she does not like it at all. “I knew that look on you two…” she guessed with dread, knowing both of her friends, Sora already knew what they were going to do or say in a minute. Without wanting to wait or guessing, the pink haired already walked faster as Obscuria and Jordana followed after her.
“C’mon we didn’t say anything— unless”
“Yeah no. You two are not allowed to say anything about what happened earlier!” Sora said as she walked even faster so Jordana and Obscuria couldn’t catch up with her. She didn’t need a new drama to happen, especially romance if she can count that. But knowing full about the two, Jordana has a one or two thing that could make her talk. Or even Obscuria, she could just instantly make Sora talk without doing anything to her.
So when later at class, she immediately sat on her usual seat, she didn’t notice that the same guy was already in her class. And he was already sitting next to someone else, talking to them as if nothing ever happened to the earlier accident. “Why is he here?!” she asked herself, already panicking while Jordana stifled her laughter and Obscuria just snickering beside her. “Cut it out, you two!” Sora whisper-yelled at them as the teacher entered the classroom. Oh this is was another torture for Sora right now.

After school was something, Sora walking home alone while two of her friends were both busy with after school activity. Mostly Jordana though, Obscuria in other hand was on a date with Frak. Which she got a news that he was the new guy childhood friend’s and best friends. Not like that Sora care for that news anyway.
She was already busy with having some new ideas for inventing and listening to her music, the old music that she got recommended from Mrs. Nya, something about a young kid and an open door of love, she said. With the song named falling for ya, Sora then decides to give it a chance to listen to it. The song was a catchy one with cheery music on it.
‘Not bad for a song choice… nice beat to it too’ she thought, while reading some news on her phone as always she didn’t look where she went or walked. Ended up with Sora colliding with someone again that made her fall backward. Until someone caught her mid falling like before. The same curly hair guy with his orange hoodie catches Sora from falling.
('Cause he was just too cool for school)
The pink haired girl opened her eyes and met with the brown eyes with her pink eyes, as they stared into one another. “We really need to stop meeting like this” the guy let out a chuckle as he helped her stand up. (And now I'm falling for ya, falling for ya)
The music in Sora’s own headphone blasting louder in her head as the guy smiles at her. “Maybe next time you should watch where you’re going,” she countered, which made him laugh even more. “Weren’t that supposed to be you?” he asked back, in turn Sora was now chuckling at him. As both then look at one another and laugh again at how hilarious their encounters were. (I know I shouldn′t, but I)
“We haven’t introduced ourselves, have we? Since we have the same class.” he said and cleared his throat, and shook head. Cleaning up himself first the boy started, “I'm Arin. Arin Nived, and a new student here” he introduced himself as Arin extending his hand to her. Sora then looked up to him with a smile forming on her face.
(I just can′t stop myself from)
Sora took Arin's hand and shook her hand with him, welcoming him as their new introduction. “Nice to meet you, Arin. I'm Sora Fujiyama, I hope we can get along. And not colliding that much” she said with a small laugh escaped out her lips. Perhaps this would lead to something new in the future. For herself and maybe for this person too. (Can't hold on any longer, and now I′m falling for you)
