Ivie was walking with Xoey toward the new manga store in Crestwick when she suddenly bumped into someone.

“Ow—oh my gosh, I’m so sorry! Are you okay—?”

She looked up and saw Christopher (Chris), flanked by his friends Axel and Dean.

“Hi, shorty. Don’t apologize, I’m fine,” Chris said, looking down at her while adjusting his shirt.

“Should’ve bumped into you a little harder then…” Ivie muttered, rolling her eyes.

“Oh, I’m hurt, Ivie~,” he teased.

Axel glanced at Xoey. “What are you guys doing here, anyway? Got a store in mind?” he asked with a sweet smile.

Xoey replied, “We were heading to the new manga shop. Ivie needs the next chapter of her manga.”

Ivie nudged her arm to stop her from saying more, then turned back to Chris and the others.

“Yeah, why do you guys want to know?”

Chris chuckled and smirked. “Don’t get so defensive, Ivie~ I expected you to be a little nicer, darling~”

“Shut up,” Ivie snapped. “Shouldn’t you guys go do your own thing? Like hitting people with volleyballs or something?” She glared at Chris as he laughed.

“You’re still not over that? I said sorry!”

“Yeah, you did—but I’m sure you did it on purpose. So no, I’m not over it,” Ivie mumbled, brushing past them.

“Bye, asshole. Bye, guys.”

Chris’s eyes followed her as she walked away, a smirk tugging at his lips. He turned to his friends.

“Guys, how about we go check out some manga?~”

Dean laughed. “You’re such a simp. I almost feel bad for you.”

“Oh, shut up,” Chris growled.

Axel chimed in, “Yeah, let’s go. I want to see what Xoey’s into too—”

Dean and Chris both stared at him, dumbfounded.

“Seriously? Xoey? That’s your type?” Chris chuckled.

“Hey! You like her best friend! They’re not that different!” Axel shot back.

Dean laughed at their bickering. “You guys are such simps. Let’s go.”

Chris and Axel rolled their eyes but followed him toward the manga shop. As they entered, they immediately spotted Ivie and Xoey by the manga section.

Ivie grinned as she held up a book. “Found it! Now I can finally see how the game ends!”

Xoey shook her head, chuckling at her excitement. “That’s good. Maybe you’ll stop bothering me about it~”

“Oh, never. Bothering you is what I do best,” Ivie said smugly.

“Let’s go pay—wait, what are you guys doing here?”

Chris and the others walked up to them.

“Mhm, Haikyuu? You’re really obsessed with volleyball, huh?” Chris teased.

Ivie groaned and looked him up and down.

Yeah, and you seem to be obsessed with me. Why are you here?”

Axel stepped forward. “We got bored and didn’t know where to go, so we figured we’d see what you two were up to,” he said, smiling at Xoey, who looked flustered.

“Stalkers,” Ivie muttered, still staring at Chris.

He held her gaze and smirked. “You love us~”

“In your dreams,” Ivie mumbled, walking over to the cashier.

She paid for her manga and returned to find Xoey and Axel talking, both looking shy and awkward.

“Already flirting with each other?” Ivie teased.

Xoey hit her arm. “No! Shut up.”

Ivie laughed. “If you say so~”
