Ten Pin Bowling
Summary: She knows he is off limits. She doesn't even like him. Who would? At least, that is what she tells herself.

Pin watched Yano-san as she took her final. She had appeared preoccupied when she entered the classroom, and not by her chatty best friend. He currently pretended that he never received that phone call about his sister. It could wait until there was an empty classroom.
As the bell rang, signally the end of the day, the room emptied quickly, no one wanting to remain in the building longer than necessary. As he dropped to his seat, he let go of his façade, tears slowly falling down his cheeks. He froze as he looked up to see Yano Ayane at the door. He didn't realize he was crying until her arms surrounded him and he had buried his head into her shoulder.
Author's Note:
I think this is worth repeating. I really do think Pin is a lot more serious than he appears. He seems to have this goofyness, almost like it is a façade for his more serious problems.
Review Question:
I think Pin is Ayane's type. Don't you?
