Apologise.

"Sorry. I don't have anything to drink."

She nods. "It's all right. I'll get something after class."

Time passes as the two of you provide idle conversation, though ultimately, you don't know what to talk about. After several minutes, traffic begins to move again and the two of you smile.

"Thank goodness!" she shouts.

You start driving and make your way to school.

The university is quite beautiful. It isn't often you sit back and really look at the white stone, or the gold towers. It looks like a fantastic castle, and inside are nearly a thousand students all taking different classes. Some of them are training to be wizards, and some simply bankers. 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.
