looneyooz here! I know you, readers are here for Daiki but I've decided to introduce Kiyoshi Teppei to Everything is Blue! It goes without saying that he is such a lovable character, and I hope you will welcome him with open arms.

I feel as though I've gained a few. I stare down at my legs and let out a long sigh. It's been a rough day so far. The clock is almost striking three and I am more than ready to pack my bags and leave this place in a flash. Biting my lower lip, the things I've said to Aomine and his facial expressions resonate with me, obstructing my attempts to banish him from my mind. His touch and kisses being memorized, and my body still recovering the tingling sensations, I desperately miss the days that I was oblivious to his existence.

I need to get over him, but I don't want to. Why did it have to be him out of all people?

I sulkily scan the plain faces and trail off to the hallway; a cuddly, big guy gives me a classic Gatsby smile. Kiyoshi Teppei. My capsized eyes instantly widen and I reciprocate his irrevocable greeting with a wane grin. I remember I had a thing for him for a while now, and I restore my faith in the male lot once again. If there is a man like him (yes, he is a man unlike that certain someone), then I won't settle for the cheap tricks.

It was June when I met him...

Inferno of school spirit is ignited and every students in Tokyo High are excited for the upcoming school festival. Well, almost everyone.

Being elected as the student councilor, I have countless errands to run from the moment I set foot to school for the next two weeks. From cardboard counting to costume check, I am the inspector of everything that goes hrough this class. I didn't particularly mind being the councilor but now I understand why no one in volunteered for it. Most preparations are quite tiresome, and I was forced to improve my stamina to shout directions from the back of the room until they lingered in the hallways.

One afternoon, just a few days before the fair, I slip out of the hectic room for air and wander out to the school garden. Might as well get a cool drink, I rise to my feet and look around for a vending machine. Spotting one in the doorway, I glare at the sun and shuffle over, minding the time. The indecisive person I am, I can't choose a drink when all of the drinks look equally appetizing. As the perspiration running down my back, I stand there with my hands over my head.

"In a hot day like this, you gotta choose konnyaku grape jelly, no doubt."

My eyes trail the breezy voice of an adult, thinking that I will find an unfamiliar teacher at the end; I straighten up as soon as our eyes meet. I am wrong. In fact, I am facing a gorgeous guy with a beaming smile. He continues to smile as he looks into my face, now realizing that I am a new student, his bushy brows lift and he holds out his hand for a handshake. Fascinating, a male high schooler introduces himself this way.

"Sorry if I disrupted your peace, but I'm Kiyoshi Teppei. Nice to meet you, if I'm right, you are the new girl, [-], no?"

"Not at all, yeah, I am, nice to meet you, too. I was having a hard time deciding what to have so, quite contrarily, you helped me out."

Another amiable smile takes over his mannish face, this time with a more childlike warmth. His grip is firm and comforting, and after purchasing his suggested drink, we find ourselves intimately conversing till we arrive in front of my class. I expect him to tread down the hall and disappear into one of the sophomore classes but he tells me he's a junior so that is a pleasant surprise. Ultimately, he wishes me good luck with the workload, as he understands being a class president himself, and casually suggests to meet up in the garden around the same time from this day on, considering how refreshing it is to get away from the responsibilities to take a break. Delighted by his initiative, I nod happily and see him off until his wave can no longer be seen.

"Back to work," I hum to myself as I roll up my sleeves.
