You want to impress her, and you do know a quicker way to get there than the normal route. You take this chance and turn down one of the lesser driven streets. Not a single car is seen, and hardly a person walks the streets.

Before you know it, you've actually arrived at the school already. You even impressed yourself a bit there.

It's a school for all sorts. Maybe that's why you got in. You didn't have incredibly high grades in secondary school.

As you get out, Lira takes off.

"Thanks again for the ride! I'll see you later!"

With that, she disappears from your sight into a crowd of students.
