"I was going to warn you about the rain." She said pointing to the dark clouds in the sky with her other hand.
Looking up at the sky, Aatrox releases her finger and realizes that his instincts are still as sharp as they were in his old universe. "I'm sorry, I appreciate your good intentions." He said.
"It's okay, I have an uncle who's the same way. By the way, my name is Annie, are you new here?" She asked.
Hearing her name, Aatrox raises an eyebrow in amazement. "My name is Ben, I was accepted today, while waiting for my father to pick me up I ended up falling asleep." He said.
Annie noticed his reaction upon hearing her name and asked. "Do you play League? Usually, anyone who is surprised by my name does."
"Actually I do, I didn't play for a few years for personal reasons but now I'm back. Your name reminded me of Annie in the game." He says as he flashed a small smile.
Being very observant, Annie noticed that smile, however small, and her heart sped up. "Give me your nickname, when I get home I'll add you. Because of my name, the first champion I played was Annie. After playing as her for so long I reached Platinum 4 as an Annie Main, how about you?" She asked approaching him as he got up to straighten his hair.
"I main Aatrox since I started playing again this weekend. My rank is Silver 2." Aatrox said while realizing that she was getting closer to him.
As the two were talking, students passing by were amazed. Annie was known for being polite to everyone but not being interested in anyone. But now she was trying to get close to a boy. Worst of all, he was very handsome.
The male students were jealous of Aatrox and wanted to trade places with him, the female students were curious about the boy and after seeing how handsome he was, they were jealous that they hadn't made a move before Annie.
The news spread throughout the school in a heartbeat, reaching an angry Thomas who tried the whole first semester to catch Annie's attention but she never even glanced at him and always treated him indifferently. She was only interested in studying and nothing more. But now she's was interested in the new kid. After finding out, he got angry at both of them.
Rallying up some of his high school soccer teammates, Thomas went in the direction that he heard they were at. Entering the courtyard, he saw a distant table, Annie was talking to a person, only his long black hair was visible from Thomas's current position.
If he didn't hear that Annie was talking with a boy, Thomaz would have thought that Annie was talking to another girl. The boy had a thin body and his hair was prettier than most girls in the school.
"Look who's here, hello Annie, what a coincidence." He said with a smile while walking toward her ignoring Aatrox's presence.
"Hello, Thomas." She responded uninterestedly.
"I put RP in my account and there is a lot leftover, are you in the mood to play tonight? You can help me choose which skin to buy and I'll take it and give you one as a gift." He says with a proud smile. (RP: League's cash used to buy skins, chests or champions)
"I'm sorry Thomaz, but I already set up a team with some friends to play with and the vacancy we had available was filled by Ben." She replied.
"That's easy to solve, kick him out of the group and I'll take his place." He said still ignoring the presence of Aatrox.
"No Thomas, I asked him and I will play with him, you can play with your friends." She says starting to get annoyed.
"Hahaha, and why can such a loser play with you? Who is he?" He says as he puts his hand threateningly on Aatrox's shoulder.
"I'm Silver 2 and if you don't take your hand off my shoulder in three seconds I'll make you need to use your left hand when you're joking around as Tryndamere [Tryndameres joke: "My right arm is a lot stronger than my left arm!"]." Aatrox said in his usual cold voice.
Annie blushed when she understood what Aatrox meant.
"I want to see what you are going to do." Said Thomas with a smug look on his face.
"3, 2, 1 ..." Before Aatrox said zero, Thomaz felt a chill run through his body for a split second and instinctively took his hand off Aatrox's shoulder.
"You're Silver, crap, why don't we fix this on a 1v1 at lol huh? If I win you get out of the group and I play." Thomas said.
"1v1? Easy, but the spot in the group is already mine, when I win what will you give me?" Aatrox asked in his usual cold voice.
"Hahahaha, did you hear that, guys ?? This Silver thinks he can beat me, only in his dreams, if you beat me, tomorrow I'll give you a 15,000 RP card." Boasted Thomas with his friends thinking that victory was already guaranteed.
"Are you sure Ben? Thomas went up to Diamond 4 yesterday, his game mechanics are very good." Annie approached Aatrox and asked worriedly.
"It's okay, he is far from beaten me." Aatrox answered calmly but was worried, after all, he never played against someone diamond.
"Kurt, write my username on a piece of paper and give it to him. Send me a friend request and at 8 pm I'll send a match request for our 1v1 match, then I'll beat you and I'll join Annie's premade team." Thomas says as he laughed.
The thinnest boy in the group took a piece of paper, wrote Thomaz's username and handed it to Aatrox before running after the group.
As he watched them leave, Aatrox received his father's message that he was parked outside waiting for him.
"Well Annie, my dad is waiting for me outside." Aatrox said showing the message he received to her.
Annie glanced at the clock and saw that it was almost time for her father to arrive. "My dad is almost here too, let's go outside together." She requested smiling.
Arriving outside, Aatrox spotted his father's car, he said goodbye to Annie and walked toward his father's car.
When Aatrox got closer, his father stepped out of the car to get into the passenger seat. Alex was very surprised when he saw Benjamin learn to drive so fast. If he didn't know that his son was in a coma, he would swear that his son was a street racer.
Annie who was accompanying Aatrox, saw him heading towards a Black Mustang. She was surprised as she knew someone who had a car just like it. When she saw who got out of the driver's seat, she was even more surprised.
Alex who had gotten out of the car, saw Annie looking his way. Noticed her looking at him, he had a mischievous smile.
When Annie saw Alex waving at her, with a smile she waved back at Alex.
Alex sat in the passenger seat and didn't talk about seeing Annie and started talking about the tests with Aatrox while they were going home.
