You wake up pretty early the following day, although you think it's because the sound of a monster getting slain is what causes you to stir from sleep

"Oh are you awake already, I beat this game for you while you were asleep, it was pretty easy not gonna lie."

You rub your eyes for a second as you just sit there in confusion. It takes you a few moments before you realize who Owen is and remember everything that happened the following day.

"Got to get ready for class..."You yawn as you start getting your clothes.

"Oh let me come with you!" Owen exclaims as he gets up from your chair.

"Well I mean you kind of have to..."

"Oh yeah."

You shake your head as you grab your remaining items and head for the bathroom. Luckily the boundary between you and Owen was pretty big so he didn't have to be close by to you that much, still giving you a lot of privacy then what you originally thought you would have.

Once you were ready to go, you and Owen left your house and made your way to your bus stop.

"You should ask your girlfriend to pick you up." Owne tells you as the two of stand in silence.

"She's not my girlfriend, she's my partner."

"Wait so you guy's are married?"

"No!, were ju-."

You stop yourself mid-sentence as you just now notice the other kids at your bus stop are staring at you, in which you realize it looks like you're talking to yourself.

"Ahahaha, they think you're loony." Owen mocks at you, in which you return with a glare.

As the two of you get onto the bus when it arrives, you sit together as Owen continues on to try to get you to talk to him. Though you decide now to ignore to unless you're alone somewhere or with Ruby.

During your classes, Owen gets bored and decides to start running around the room, getting into people's faces and other sort of shenanigans. You had warned him before you went into class though that he was not to touch anything that would look like something supernatural to everyone else. He had promised not to, but with the half-assed way he had said it, you didn't all that much trust him.

Because of this, you couldn't pay attention in class as your eyes were continually trained on Owen to make sure he wasn't doing anything stupid. There were even times in which he would give you evil glares and pretend to start throwing things, which would make you panic a little in which he could probably tell, as it made him laugh.

Fuck, maybe it would be better if you could just keep him in your head.

With your first set of classes over and lunch starting to begin, you wait to see if Ruby wants to meet with you so you stick by your class. Though after a few minutes you decide to leave and go get lunch with no signs of her, and not wanting to be the last one in line.

"Are you not going to hang out with your girlfriend today," Owen asked, in a serious tone.

You're about to answer him, but quickly stop yourself since you're packed in a line with other people, and instead just ignore him.

"Lame, I thought you guys were cool together and hung out and stuff. Or maybe she's waiting for you to go and find her."

You continue to ignore him.

This seems to frustrate Owen a bit, as he stays quiet for the remainder of the time that you are in line.

Once you grab your food and head on outside, out of earshot from everyone else, Owen starts to speak again.

"OK, no one's around you can talk now."

"Shut up Owen..." You mumble.

"You talked!" Owen says with excitement, though in a mocking tone no doubt.

"Anyway, what do you want to do for lunch today?" Owen asks you.

You find Ruby

You were really hoping to find Ruby in order to ask her more about the situation with you and Owen. Not in a bad way or anything, but with the powers she had mentioned you had. You didn't know how open she would be about the information that you wanted, but it wouldn't hurt to try and ask her.

"We're going to go look for Ruby, look out for her." You tell Owen.

"Ah Hah! I knew you two couldn't be without one another, on it captain, I'll keep an eye out for your missing lover."

This irked you more than it should off but you brushed it to the side for now. Ruby had mentioned before that she had a lot of friends and wanted to try to enjoy her senior year as much as possible. Even though she was in your grade you didn't see her at all, since you had no classes with her and you didn't know what she did for lunch.

You thought about texting her but for some reason decided against it, so you just started to wander around campus in order to find her before lunch ended.

Checking the cafeteria, library, hallways of some school buildings, and the general courtyard where everyone ate outside, you still couldn't find her even with Owen's help.

"Man, did you make her mad or something? Your girlfriend really is trying to avoid you it seems like."

Ignoring what he said, you give a sigh."I don't think we'll find her in time anyway before the bell rings, I'm just going to get something to eat from the cafeteria before lunch ends."

"Meh, I wouldn't. The food today seemed kind of bad from what I saw when we were in there."

"Don't care, I'm hungry." You reply, as you quickly walk to the cafeteria before it closes.
