***Kanou***P.O.V
After school the day went by very peaceful to me. I was planning on walking home with Yukimura today but he had to do more work in the student council room. I was going to clean it like Misaki said to but he insisted that he do it instead.
I walked along the sidewalk alone. I was actually used to being alone. As I was walking down the sidewalk I noticed a noise coming from the dumpster. I looked and I saw two legs swinging from the top.
"Uhh...what are you doing?" I ask. I realized it's Tomoyo and she looked super shocked.
"I was uh-!" she stuttered out.
What a weird girl.
***Tomoyo*** P.O.V
"I was uh!" I couldn't think of an excuse to tell him so I would have to tell him the truth.
"Huh...well I'm kind of low on money and needed food." I said. Kanou doesn't say anything instead he pulls out a small bag from his school bag containing two rice balls. He hands and our hands accidentally touched when he tried to give them to me.
He quickly pulls away so we aren't touching causing the rice balls to fall on the ground. I look at him and notice his cheeks turning red and he quickly turns his head away.
"I'm-I'm sorry I uh-" He quickly scampers off without finishing his sentence. Something tells me he's afraid to talk to me. Am I really that intimidating?
I take the rice balls off the ground and begin to walk back home. What I'm not letting any food go to waste! Part of me wishes Kanou never ran away because I never did say thank you.
It was only my second day of Seika high and already everybody is whispering about me. I can even hear some giggles in the background. I walk into class 1-7 ignoring everyone.
To my surprise everyone in my class seems to be laughing at me except Kanou. I walk to my seat but without noticing someone puts their foot out and trips me causing me to fall in the aisle. An eruption of laughter comes from around the room.
When I finally get up I see Kanou just looking at me but he wasn't laughing. He could of at least helped me up. I sat down in class and pretended that never taps my shoulder so I turn around to see what they want.
"Hey trash girl!" He says with a smirk.
"Trash girl?"
"As if you don't know trash girl!" The guy says loud enough for everyone to hear causing more bursts of laughter.
"Keep your voice down now what are you talking about?" I whisper to him.
"You mean you haven't seen it?"
"Seen what?"
The guy rolls his eyes and pulls out his phone and shows me a picture of myself in the trash.
"How do you know if that girl in the picture is even me?"
"Look at the other picture." He said showing me another picture but this time I'm not in the trash you can clearly see it's 's only one person who could of took this picture.
"Kanou! Did you do this?" I yelled at him causing the teacher to yell at me and say I'm disturbing the class. Oh come on did the teacher not hear all the laughing five seconds ago?
After class I marched straight up to Kanou and yelled at him. In response he stuttered again and ran off. I ran in the hall trying to catch him when Misaki stopped me.
"No running in the halls Tomoyo OK?"
"Sorry I'm trying to catch up to Kanou for taking those bad pictures of me."
"What makes you so sure Kanou is the one that took those?" Misaki asks.
"Well he was the only one I knew that seen me that day!"
"Not trying to disagree with you here Tomoyo but I see lots of students from Seika High walking around in that area so it could of been someone that you didn't know was there."
"I know it was Kanou!"
"Do you really think a shy guy would do something like that to you?"
I began to think well he did give me two rice balls so maybe Misaki's right about Kanou.
"Well when you think about it he didn't really seem to have his phone out." I say.
"See you can't judge people you don't know." She said grinning and then she walked away.
Everyone seemed to judge me so far at Seika high though.
As I was walking to my next class, I stop in front of a group of students blocking the hallways. The students then started to surround me.
"Hey trash girl, what are you doing here walking alone?" One of the students say. I then try to push past them but someone pulls me back.
"Hey, trying to leave so soon? We're not done with you yet." I noticed a guy with dark shaggy hair say. I was scared now.
"W-What do you want?" I barely made out.
"We don't need a filthy girl like you messing up our school reputation." He says in a cold voice. I then am pushed into a trash can and all of them burst into laughter. I can tell they are still not done having their fun yet.
The guy with shaggy hair then puts the lid on the garbage can and before I could get out, he pushed it, forcing me to roll into the can.
I finally stop when I hit something. I push the lid off to see what I hit or should I say who I hit.
"Oh hi...Kanou."
This day just keeps getting better and better.
