"Hey Okumura-kun, you are staring at her again" A pair of dark blue eyes instantly widened on its own when his ears catches those words and even though his brain isn't as smart as some of his classmates, he doesn't needs to be a genius in order to know what those words that he just heard implied. It was very obvious about what those words meant and he has run out of a reason for denying that fact, so this time he just chooses to let out a sigh and shift his blue eyes toward his pink haired friend who was already smirking.
"It has been the third time for this day I catch you staring at her" his pink haired friend adds which makes him raise one of his eyebrows. Yes, he admits it, it had been the third time he had been staring at her this day, but why would it be his friend business? It was his own business whether he was staring at that girl or not. Really, why this guy really interested in his life when he has his own life he needs to worry about.
"Shima, if you keep it up, someone will label you as my stalker" The black haired boy replied which only made his pink haired friend, Shima, letting out a snicker as his friend response really amuses him.
"Don't worry about it Okumura-kun, everyone know that I am only stalking girls, not boys" Shima replies before grinning and giving his best friend, Rin Okumura, a thumbs up. This only succeeded in making Rin's sweat drop as he starts to think about whether he needs to warn all the girls in his school about the existence of this pink haired guy or going straight to police and report this guy to them. Rin only letting out another sigh before he places his elbow on his table and use it to prop his head while his blue eyes starts to stare at his previous target, the girl who sat in the front row.
"But seriously Okumura-kun, why are you always staring at her all this time?" Shima asks his friend (who is already observing his target again) about his reason. It had been one week since Rin Okumura develop a habit for always observing the same girl whenever he gets a chance and it greatly confuses the pink haired boy, why would his friend doing something like that?
"Probably about something stupid and doesn't make any sense" And the one who said this isn't Rin nor Shima, but another boy who sat beside Rin that just finished reading his book and now about to puts it back in his bag. Oh and his words earlier also was successful in making Rin twitch a little, the sign which tells anyone that Rin Okumura is annoyed.
"What the hell are you saying you damn roaster?!"
"Are you deaf or something?! Use your ears next time!"
And before the battle between the dragon and the tiger can happen, Rin notices that someone is watching from the corner of his vision and he quickly decides to sit back before taking a deep breath to calm himself. The other boy who is also the rival of Rin Okumura, Ryuji Suguro AKA Bon, also sits back before taking a deep breath too and crossing his arms over his chest.
"Then, if that wasn't the reason, what was your reason?" And this surprisingly comes from the mouth of the Ryuji Suguro himself who now already staring at Rin's dumbfounded face. C'mon! What's wrong with people always getting interested with his life, they all should worry more about their lives instead of poking their nose into his life!
"I was just wondering, why she always is... alone" and what he just says is a true fact. Mato Kuroi, also known as the ice queen of their school. The perfect student, that was what most teacher will call her because she is very smart in both academic and athletic and not just that, she is also one of the main member of their school basketball team. In short, she is really a perfect student (in the eyes of their teacher), but what that teacher doesn't know is that actually the perfect student doesn't have any friends. And it was also true since when the break starts, she will be either eating her meal alone or going to the library.
And how he knows all of it? Don't get him wrong! He isn't a stalker or anything close to that! It's just that he is always eating his meal on the roof which also coincidentally become the place where Mato Kuroi is also eating her meal and when Rin isn't hungry or don't bring any meal, he will spent his time in library (and no, he isn't reading book there, instead he will sleeping there). So that's was the reason about why he can know this much about her, so it was clear that he isn't a stalker or worse a pervert, no, he just coincidentally always spots her whenever he's spending his break time.
"I wonder too. Maybe because she thinks the other students aren't her equal thus making her refusing to socialize with other students" Shima said, voicing his thought about why the ice queen always seen alone without anyone.
"I don't think so Shima. I mean she doesn't seem to be that kind of person. Maybe it was because the other students are jealous of her and decide to just not associating with her" Ryuji said voicing his opinion which clearly opposites from his pink haired friend's opinion which makes the ice queen seems to be a prideful person.
"Is that also why some girls are always bullying her?" This question isn't coming from Rin or Shima, but it was coming from the boy that sat behind Ryuji, the boy who all this time was only listening to their conversation. Konekomaru Miwa, finally spoke up. Rin's clenches his fist when the words instantly making him remembers about the time when he spots some girls fill Mato's locker with all kind of trash, in the end, it was him who took out all the trash before Mato can open it (though he forgot to clean her locker) and where did all that trash go? Well, let's just say that day some girls found their locker filled with trash.
"I don't know, but it is possible" Ryuji replied before looking at his watch.
Three...
Two...
One...
And the final bell finally rang, the sign that the school is over for today...
"Well, for whatever reason, I think someone needs to start talking to her and at least doesn't leave her alone" Ryuji said before standing up and grabbing his bag and then followed by both Shima and Konekomaru who do the same. Meanwhile Rin, who is still sitting on his seat, only staring at the girl in question, Mato Kuroi, who is starting to put all her stuffs into her bag, ignoring all the noise that happens around her, just like usual. Well, what his friends says is right, she needs someone that can keep her from the word 'alone', but he wonders who can do that?
"Oi, Okumura, are you coming or not?" The voice of his rival making the black haired boy whirls his head to the door of his class and sees his friends already standing there. He only gives them an apologetic smile while scratching the back of his head.
"Sorry, but as you know, I need to finish the assignment from Tsubaki-sensei today or else..." He doesn't need to continue his statement because once they heard 'Assignment', all of them instantly understand, after all, Rin Okumura is a quite popular trouble maker. After saying their goodbye the three boys start to walk away from the empty classroom which now only occupied by only two students. Silence is the only thing which fills the empty classroom until the black haired boy decides to stand up and grab his bag before walking
toward the only remaining student who is still sitting down on her seat.
"Well, now they gone Mato" Rin said with a big grin on his face after he finally stood next to the girl's seat with the girl herself still looking at the window. At first the girl is only remaining silent until there is no more sound in the hallway, she finally turns her head toward the boy who still grinning.
"Didn't this already happen?" The black haired girl who ties her hair in an uneven pigtail style suddenly says making the boy who stood next to her seat tilting his head in confusion, what does she mean? What already happened?
Noticing the confused expression on the boy's face, Mato let out a silent sigh while closing her eyes for a moment before opening them again and shifting her light blue eyes to the boy's face.
"What your friend said concerning me, isn't that already happening?" Mato said in the simplest way she can think of in order to make the boy understand about what she means and when his grin comes back to his face, she knows that he finally knows what she means. Rin's grin only becomes wider after his mind recalls those moments. A few months ago, after always meeting her whenever break time come, Rin finally decides to get to know more about the ice queen and he needs to admit that it was an extremely hard task, it was even harder than the math test (which is his worst enemy in school), but once he knew about how the other students treat her, he doubled his efforts in trying to befriend her despite all the glare and her attitude towards him. He did almost give up, but when he recalled all the moments he spend with her, he finally realizes that her attitude towards him slowly started to change and he also realized that all his efforts all this time weren't fruitless, he just needs to be more patient and a few days later, Rin finally is capable of breaking all the layers of Mato Kuroi, finally able to reach the girl which was always alone all this time and was wishing nothing more than just a trustworthy friend.
'I think someone needs to start talking to her and at least doesn't leave her alone'
"Yeah, I guess it already happened and I promise I will never let the word 'Alone' reach you anymore" and with that Rin pulls out one of his hands from the pocket of his pants before landing his hand on top of Mato Kuroi's head and slowly, he starts to caress the head of the ice queen who only closes her eyes and enjoys the act. The first time he did that to her, Mato instantly slapped his hand away, but after she suffered from a bad day, Rin was able to comfort her and make her become comfortable just by patting her head and caressing her hair. And from that day, Mato will only close her eyes whenever Rin's pat her head or caress her hair because even though she never said it aloud to him, she really enjoys it.
"Hey, how about we visit the new ice cream parlor after this? I heard they have an ice cream called frozen blue, wonder what kind of ice cream is that? How does that sound?" Mato only closes her eyes for a moment before grabbing her bag and standing up from her seat.
"I think that sound good" she replies after her light blue eyes meet Rin's dark blue eyes and she also gives him a small smile which in Rin's opinion should appear more often, but he won't complain about it since become the only boy that is able to see it already make him super happy.
"Let's go" both teenagers intertwine their hands together before walking toward the door of their classroom with one intention in their mind. Spending their free time... Alone.
