The next day, the weather was cold. Students wrapped themselves in sweaters, hoodies, and scarves, their breaths misting in the air. Willow, however, was in unusually good spirits.
When she'd returned to her dorm earlier, she'd been relieved to find her roommates still asleep. Only Korra and Sage were there; judging by the untouched state of Zira's bed, she hadn't come back since yesterday.
After freshening up, Willow headed to the cafeteria, where she joined Navian for breakfast before class.
As Willow entered the classroom, the usual chatter and laughter filled the air until it didn't.
The moment she stepped inside, the noise died. Dozens of eyes turned toward her like she was some kind of alien specimen, and heat crept up her neck.
"There she is!" one of the students called out, waving dramatically. "Hey! We heard you're dating Ezrik Veyne. Does that mean the rest of us get a chance to date the other Ascendants?"
