Brinne eyed Braum with a stern look from afar as he mingled with the group of girls, and the he did something way out of the ordinary. He pointed directly at her, in front of all these girls, and started telling them all of her flaws. Her face flushed red with a genuine anger. She marched toward them, pushing her glasses up with her index finger and wrinkling her brows. When she got up to him, she gripped his hand tightly and continued walking, pulling him along. "Of all the self-centered, inconsiderate, completely idiotic...!" She paused for a moment as the girl he was talking to smiled at her. She marched on with Braum in toe. "Beat it, hussy." She pulled Braum along until they rounded the corner, and she marched him on father still, not loosening her grip on his hand. "The very idea, are you trying to make this a living hell for me? Is that what you're doing? Don't even answer, I don't want to hear it right now."
Tears were streaming down her cheeks when she finally stopped in an empty hallway. She wheeled around to face him. "Braum, why? Why would you put that kind of pressure on me the first day here? Do you have any idea how hard all of this is for me? I'm not here to make friends, and I'm certainly not here to watch you play matchmaker with yourself. I'm here to learn the proper way to harness our power for the sake of Death City, and even the world. This isn't some high school where we can afford to laugh and have good times every day, did you hear what the professor said? People are going to die! Braum! People are going to lose their lives fighting for this school, and you're worried about the next girl whose going to have her boobs bouncing in your face. Well, I'm not like that, I'm more focused on learning what I need to learn in order to protect these people, our fellow students, our comrades."
She threw her arms around his waist and pressed herself against him, burying her face in his chest. "I've had nightmares about this academy Braum, about you, about me, and it's just been really hard for me, and I know it may seem like I'm overreacting but I can't help it. I'm excited but terrified at the same time, happy and sad, Nervous but raring to go. I'm so many conflicting things all at once, and I just need you to be my rock." She squeezed him tighter, sobbing into his shirt. 'I love you, so much.' she thought, finally admitting it to herself. 'I love you and I'm terrified to lose you..' It felt weird to be hearing it in her head, she had always known she was crushing on Braum, but it was never as overwhelming as it was now.
