I woke up and looked up at the ceiling. "I'm such an idiot" I thought to myself. I covered my eyes with the back of my hand and smiled. I looked at my clock. "Oh no, I'm going to be late!" I threw off my sheets and hurried to get ready and I ran out the door. As I did I realised
I was panting halfway to school. I passed by a mirror shop and I realised I didn't do my hair. I threw up my hair with a pale pink scrunchie and jogged to school. I changed shoes and quickly put down my bag. As I sighed I saw Kou enter and I blushed and looked away.
"Good Morning" he said.
"M-morning" I was all I could manage to say.
"Um... about yesterday, do you wan-t" he got cut off by the bell before he finished. Even from a few words it made by heart beat faster and faster. The teacher came in and lessons began. It was such a drag and I longed for lunch so I could ask Kou what he was about to say. I snuck glances at Kou, "he's so cute" I thought. We met each other's gaze and we looked away quickly. Then we looked at each other again. I smiled. This always happened and it was always the same. Look, look away, blush and look back.
When the five rings came I was ecstatic. I packed up and rose. I sat on the table and looked at Kou. He was talking to Kominato-kun. I decided to head to the cafeteria to buy some bread. I hurried along and decided to buy the melon flavoured bun.
When I walked back to the classroom, Kou was gone.
"Where did Kou go?" I asked Murao.
"He said went to find you"
I stared with my mouth gaped open. I blushed and ran out. I checked the cafeteria. He wasn't there. So I decided he might have went out onto the rooftop. I panted the way up. There he was. Kou. He was looking out onto the open. His arms cross and his head propped up on them. I smiled, caught my breath and walked slowly next to him.
He glanced over and whispered "hey."
"hey" I replied. After a minute of us just looking over the school I asked,"er… what were you going to ask me before school started?"
He raised his head looked the other way. "N-nothing much" he said. He slowly looked out, and leaned against the railing. He studied me for a few moments.
"What's wrong?"
"O-oh its just your hairs different"
"oh"
His brown, beautiful eyes staring into mine, he reached for my hair tie and gently tugged it off. My hair fell down in cascades. He smiled and leaned in to kiss me. I blushed and instead he leaned in a whispered "It looks better that way". I blushed a deeper red and played with my hair.
All I could think about was that moment. As I sat down and as the bell rung Kou whispered "Are you free this weekend?"
