The classroom was filled with chatter as lunch time proceeded. The sounds of gossip and laughter echoed throughout the walls. Akise Aru joked at his friend, Kousaka, about the time when he tripped into a pile of mud this morning on their way to school. Akise's two other friends, Hinata and Moe laughed as well. He opened his eyes and scanned the room as Kousaka started up another conversation the two girls. Looking around, he noticed a group of boys with their back turned. They kept glancing back at a small blue eyed brunette who was staring into his phone. The boy was Yukiteru, and Akise's crush. Akise had known Yukiteru for a long time, but they never actually hung out. Or even exchanged meaningful conversations with each other. No, Akise just sat back and admired the adorable brunette from afar. Hinata looked up at the silvery haired boy in interest, looking at what he was staring off at. She followed his gaze from the group of boys to Yukiteru. She smirked. Akise broke his gaze and turned around at Hinata.
"And what was that?" He asked.
Hinata just smiled back him deviously. "Oh I see what you're doing there. I just don't see why you don't go for it."
Akise's pale face burned with color as he looked away from her. He placed his hands in his pocket and rocked back and forth.
"I don't know what you're talking about." Of he did, Hinata was his best friend. She could ALWAYS tell.
"I know you do don't play dumb! You're so red you look like a cute little strawberry!" Hinata said as she pawed Akise's face. Surprisingly she took his arm and pulled him away from the others.
"You know, those boys don't like him very much. I always hear them talking a bunch trash." She glared at them but returned to Akise. "If you really want him why don't you just go for it?" Akise bit his lip hard, he didn't want to face rejection from the person he'd been crushing on for years.
