Akiza felt like she was having a midlife crisis. Okay, so maybe that was over-exaggerating it but still, she felt panicky and dismayed. Who would've thought that the guy she set beside on the plane ride would be attending her school.

Oh…god, Akiza thought, mentally berating herself. Her brain felt like it was exploding.

Flopping down on her bed, she snatched a pillow like her life depended on it and hugged it tightly, falling down on her back. Embarrassedly, she buried her face in it as she recalled yesterday's events.

She had gone down for lunch, dressed up nicely, with Darla. It was by chance that Akiza bumped into a man when she had gone to get a drink.

Attempting to keep her juice from sloshing around in the cup she held, she turned back at him to snap at the one who had nudged her, only, her reaction was:

"Hey, watch – wait! You're that guy!"

Paying closer attention, Akiza noticed that the man had golden blonde hair and bright green eyes. He was wearing a pair of fashionable glasses but on the plane he had not worn them. Overall, you could say he was pretty handsome and cute (though, in Akiza's opinion, Yusei was the handsomer of the two).

He chuckled at Akiza's reaction, joking, "Who's that guy?"

The newfound friends she made at the lunch table stared at her wonderingly and curious. One of them, Jess, called out, "What's going on?"

Akiza goggled at the blonde-haired man in front of her, sputtering, "You're that airplane guy! The – the guy sitting beside me!"

By then, Darla had already made her way to Akiza. Her eyes glued to the guy, Darla whispered in Akiza's ear, "Who is he? He's pretty hot."

Akiza couldn't believe her words, nudging her friend gently in annoyance. It wasn't helping her situation much.

"Oh, so now I'm that airplane guy?" The bespectacled teen scoffed, mock offended, with his hands jammed in his jean pockets.

Akiza didn't know how to respond. She just stared up at him dumbly.

He grinned lopsidedly, holding out his hand, and said, "Well, for beginners, my name is Ryu Swansea."

Slightly fazed, Akiza took his hand and shook it numbly. She mumbled, "Um, hi. I'm Akiza."

His eyes suddenly lit up and he cried, albeit not quietly, "You're the Akiza Izinski?"

Akiza's first thought was: Shit.

In a flurry, people – mostly complete strangers and even a lunch lady on break – flocked over to her for autographs. Everyone just swarmed over in one big commotion.

Shit.

Somehow, Akiza made it back to her room alive. She had rushed out of the cafeteria and ran for her life towards her dorm house. There, she dashed up the stairs and stopped at her door, fumbling with the key as she jammed it the keyhole. She had then proceeded to fling open the door, speedily slamming it shut and locking it with a resounding "click," before catapulting herself into her room, panting and long-winded.

Akiza had hoped that sleep would relieve her of the embarrassment and all the attention. But noooo…as she tried to fall asleep, the events that had occurred that day kept replaying in her head until it seemed she was actually back in that time.

Darla had walked in later, asking, "Where were you? You suddenly disappeared after that huge mob converged on you."

Akiza had groaned in reply.

Now here she was, recalling the events from yesterday. With a final shake of her head, Akiza tumbled out of bed and perused her backpack until she pulled out her phone.

She saw Yusei's text message and her heart melted right then and there. It was the sweetest, most adorable thing she had seen and received. Akiza made sure that in her reply, all her gratitude and love and happiness was expressed.

In a humorous mood, Akiza took a comical picture of herself hugging her pillow, her nose and mouth hiding behind the pillow so that only her eyes were visible.

She started to text: you wont believe wat happened yesterday…
