Shino walked in through the front gates of Tojo Junior High. It was the first day of 8th grade and a week after he and Kirino went on their first date. They haven't talked much after that but today would change. Shino spotted Kirino and Ayase arguing about what they were going to wear for their next photo shoot. Shino saw his friends hanging by the door to the school. He snuck behind the statue of General Tojo and crept down the alley into the school kitchen. He entered the cafeteria and sat down there and took out his sketchpad. He took out a pencil and drew a tree that wrapped around the world. In the middle a picture of him and Kirino.
"Can I be romantic or can't I" said Shino in the lone room.
He walked through the hallway towards his locker. He grabbed the picture that he put in it at the orientation for his placements and books. None of his classes had his friends,yes, he thought. Half of his classes were with Kirino, would have preffered all of them with her, he thought. He walked into his homeroom, also with Kirino, and sat in the back left-hand corner. The bell rang which meant the actual beginning of homeroom. The teacher along with several other students walked in.
"Welcome back to school children," said the teacher, "As you know we have a new uniform, I find it to look very comfortable,right Shino"
"Yes," wondering why she took him out of the crowd.
After that he felt like a stuffed animal chosen by a 4 year old playing the crane game. Kirino looked over at Shino and blushed. She was remembering the kiss.
The day went on pretty fast. Math sucked like always, poems in Language Arts, and sweat all over they unathletic kid flooded the field.
At dismissal Shino leaned against the General Tojo statue and his friends come up to him and said, " Dude, we overheard you tell the teacher that you didn't want to be in our classes"
"That is true,what about it," replied Shino
"Well, screw you too, huh, we aren't as cool and charming as you are,"
"I would tell you if I could but I can't so screw off"
Shino's former coharts looked like they wanted to put his head under a steam roller. Suddenly, comes out Kirino with a huge kiss to save him from the angry mob. His friends looked in awe as the cutest girl in the school made out with Shino.
"Oh that's why you didn't want to be with us" said Shino's friends
Ayase came from behind and said, "You could have said so Kirino, I wouldn't have judged you, no wonder I didn't get to be in her classes at all"
Then from their the day went on great. Kirino walked home with Ayase, while Shino walked by himself kind of shooken from the event.
Then around midnight, a knock came from Shino's window. He opened it to find it was… Kirino.
Shino opened the window and let Kirino in and said, "Why the hell are you here so late!"
All Kirino did was push him on the bed, got settled, and said, "Just go to sleep and I'll se you in the morning."
Following instruction he fell back asleep with an unusual pleasure.
The next day when he puts on his uniform and Kirino is taking a shower, Shino received a text that read, "I KNOW YOUR SECRET"
