This choice: Your reality slowly changes to match the DDLC world, and so do you! • Go Back...Chapter #4Day 1: Derek Meets Yuri by: Unknown Derek Philmore is a fourth-year college student, excited to finally graduate at the end of the semester. Leaving his apartment, he takes a moment to stretch his 5'11" body and yawn, tired from having to wake up early for an 8am class. "Man, why was this time the only option..." Luckily, there was a nearby bus stop he could always take so he didn't have to walk a couple of miles. Arriving on campus, he made his way to his "Introduction to Philosophy" class. It was usually something people got out of the way their first year, but he decided to put it off until the last minute. "I'm a Biology major. Why do I even have to take this class anyways? Oh well, at least it's kind of interesting..."
Despite being a large lecture hall, there were only a couple dozen students scattered around the place, mostly in groups. Derek usually sat alone and in the back, considering all his other friends took their gen eds already and he wasn't really up for making more so early in the morning. Taking his seat, he had about 15 minutes to kill, so he spent it looking around to see if there was anything different from the usual. A group of football players looking bored out of their mind...a pair of girls just arriving with their morning coffee to stay awake during class...a purple-haired girl sitting by herself near the front row-hold on! "That's unusual...I need a better look."
While the girl sat on one edge of the row of seats, Derek took the opposite end. The girl was wearing a beige turtleneck sweater that failed to hide the form of her prodigious chest, which Derek struggled to avoid staring at. From here, he could clearly see how long her dark violet hair was, running down her back and making contact with the black leggings covering her long legs. Wow, she's gorgeous! But what's a cute co-ed like her doing here all alone? He figured it was worth trying to approach her, so he walked in front of her. "Excuse me, miss?" But she was very focused on a book she was reading, not looking up. "Uh, miss?" He waved his hand in front of her face.
"Oh! Ah..." The woman said, apparently startled. She took a quick look at Derek before turning away timidly, giving him enough time to see her lovely purple eyes. She took a breath before continuing, turning her head slightly back towards him. "I'm so sorry, I didn't notice you there, um..."
"Derek," he said with a smile, "and you are...?"
"Yuri. Again, I apologize, I was just so caught up in this book..."
"Yeah, you're reading Descartes, right?" He took the opportunity to sit next to her. "That's not due yet, is it? I haven't exactly read it..."
Yuri chuckled a bit. "Oh, no. Philosophy is one of several genres I greatly enjoy, so I have been...reading a few weeks ahead." She seemed embarrassed to be admitting it.
"I see, very responsible of you," to which Yuri gave a small smile. "I was just curious about you, because I've never seen you in this class before...what brings you here 3 weeks into the semester?"
"Ah, w-well, I'm new to the campus, so I had trouble signing up for classes until now..."
Typical freshman troubles, Derek thought. "That's a shame. Although based on what you've already told me, I'm sure a smart woman like you has had no trouble catching up." Now he noticed a small blush on her face. He grinned. It was at that point the professor came in, bringing their casual conversation to an abrupt end. "Oh, I almost forgot! Is it alright if I sit here today, Yuri? I don't really have anyone else to talk to, and you seem pretty cool."
Something in Derek's words seemed to have resonated with her, because she nodded. "I don't think I mind...Derek."
After class, he was hoping to talk more, but Yuri stuttered. "S-sorry! I have a thing I need to do- I'll be here tomorrow, though!"
Derek couldn't wait to talk more to Yuri tomorrow.  indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
