"I'm sorry for yesterday." Sakuno first said as she took the seat next to Suna. Then, with a smile, congratulated him. The young man turned to her and nodded.
"It's no problem." He told her simply. They all stood up in greeting when their professor got in. And it was only after class ended that Sakuno was able to speak up once more.
"Neh, Suna-kun," She started, hesitating and flushing in a sudden wave of timidity. The top student beside her turned to face her, pausing from clearing his table. "If you don't mind, is it alright if we study together?" Then, quickly continued when a second or two lapsed with Suna not say anything. "I just wanted to go over a few topics. Maybe exchange notes?"
"Sure." Suna said. And, unable to look away from the large smile that broke into Sakuno's face, realized he was blushing. "But Takeo and Yamato sometimes study with me too," He coughed, finally turning away to fix his school bag. "So, it might get noisy for you."
Still grinning, Sakuno shook her head.
"It's no problem!" She laughed. "Are you headed to the library?"
Her friend only nodded, finally zipping his shoulder bag.
"Let's go?"
Sakuno nodded and, taking her bag, hid a smile as she followed behind her classmate.
