News travels fast

In the next week, the news got out that you were dating. You were the talk of the school within a week. Most said it was a good match-up. The nerdy bear with the smart human. Two oddballs finding love. Your reputation with Abby helped keep it from becoming a joke.

Emma and Abby became friends. Turned out the three of you enjoyed swimming even if Emma was the weakest of the three she was still good. Abby also admitted to liking the same obscure anime that Emma liked. Emma had tried to get you to watch it. However, although you found the plot good and liked the premise, you found it hard to follow the subtitles, and it was not available in dubbed. So Emma was happy to find someone else to watch it with.

You felt more relaxed at school. Being in a relationship, everyone was talking about help keep you off the menu. No one wanted to mess with either an angry bear or her new BFF, Abby the crocodile.
