She flinched, clasping her hands... Now the tears streaming down her cheek.
I gently crouched down so i can look in her eyes "who?" i said softly this time.
She gulped, hands fidgeting with the hem of her skirt "a-akane... Iko"
I froze at the name, recognizing it instantly...that brat. I know that egoistic punk. She is famous in the entire school just because her family donates a sum to this school every year.
I rubbed a hand down my face
"what about her?"
She gulped again... Eyes wandering "s-she...she..."
She was getting more and more nervous by the second, like an anxiety attack. I sighed "sit". She sat instantly, as tho following an order. I smiled slightly "you don't have to be so obedient. I don't bite" i tried to lighten the mood and it worked. She stopped fidgeting.
This time i sat across from her "so tell me"
She took a deep breath and looked up at me. Those Ocean blue eyes...
"she... Have a crush on you... Since ages... And she saw us they yesterday when... You were giving me my bento back... So she..."
She trailed off again, tears streaming down faster now. But... I froze... The hell?! A freak like her likes me?! I wanna laugh so hard right now but yumi's tears are still falling.
I slowly, gently placed my hand beside hers on the table... Giving her every chance to pull away... And when she didn't, i placed my hand on hers. Her hands cold and delicate contrasting to my warm and big ones.
"she did what?"
