"Well, we're here!" Megumi sweetly chimes. Tomoko shyly looking at the ground, thanks her. "Ah.. th.. Thank you...f..for...helping me." Megumi smiles slightly "you don't have to thank me, silly. Besides, we're friends!" With those words, Tomoko slowly lifted her head, looking her sempai in the eyes. This lasted for about a second before Tomoko averted her eyes feeling embarrassed. "Well, I had a great time walking with you Kuroki-san." Megumi looks at her watch. "Ah, well we better get to class soon, I'll see you later Kuroki-san!" Tomoko jumps a little, realizing she should tell her goodbye. "Ah...g..good bye." Barely audible, but enough for Megumi to hear as she turns back and says. "I know we leave school at different times, because of club activities, but if you'd like to walk to school together in the mornings..." She says this with what seems like uncertainty. Tomoko in shock begins to stutter "y..y..yeah..sure." Megumi smiles deeply. "Great!" As she walks leaving Tomoko standing in a state of confusion and shock. The bell rings, Tomoko jumps to life, trying to remember how long she was standing there spaced out. As She starts off with a speed walk to the lockers, changing her shoes, some other late kids run past her, a teacher yelling at them about running in the halls. Slipping her foot into her shoe she stops and ponders. "Wait...was..was she blushing..."

*Megumi's POV*

Walking down the hall with her handbag, still thinking about the events that happened just a minute ago, and quite content with the outcome. As she enters home room, making her way to her seat, a few students greet her good morning. sitting 2 seats away from the window at the front of the classroom. She sits down hanging her bag on the hook on the right side of her desk.

But not before looking inside her bag checking on her special cargo. A small but nicely decorated baggy sits safely in a side pocket of her handbag. "I guess I chickened out... but...there's still time." As she says this, the teacher walks through the door, beginning the school day.

As the day goes on, the 3rd year, goes about her busy schedule, of AP classes. The bell rings, signaling lunch, finally getting a break, Megumi leaves taking her bag with her, but not before a classmate asks her to join them for lunch. "Oh, I'm sorry I promised someone else, I'd eat with them, maybe another time?" The group of girls understandingly accept the rejection. She leaves the classroom. "I hope I didn't come off as rude, I don't want to lie to them... Well it's not entirely a lie... I mean I am eating with someone else, but I guess that person doesn't know that." As she walks down the stairs to the underclassmen classrooms, she begins to overthink her actions. "Maybe I shouldn't ask her to lunch, I mean what if she's eating with her friends she might not want to eat with me, or maybe I would embarrass her, it seems like she was a little embarrassed this morning..." Her thoughts go on, as she notices she's made it to her classroom, the door already slid open as it's quite a bustling room of students enjoying their lunch walking in and out. She's sees no harm in letting her self in. Scanning the room for a certain black haired kouhai. She walks around the room, before asking a random student. "Excuse me I was wondering if you know where Kuroki-san is?" The boy turns around with a puzzled look on his face. "I'm sorry, who again?" Megumi repeats herself. "I'm looking for Kuroki-san."

The boy scratches his head in deep thought. "I'm not sure I'm familiar with her, are you sure you're in the right class?" Megumi seems to question that herself. Apologizing for the disturbance, a girl who seemed to be eavesdropping on the conversation, jumps out of her seat joyfully and repeats her first question. "You're looking for Kuroki-san, right?"

Megumi on her way out, stops, turning around to face the girl. "Yes, I thought I might have been in the wrong class?" The girl reassures her. "Oh, you're in the right classroom, Kuroki-san sometimes leaves when the bell rings, I think she has lunch with her other friends or something I'm not sure." "Oh, and by the way I'm Hina Nemoto, nice to meet you, are you one of Kuroki-san's friends? Not sure how to answer Megumi replies. "I guess you could say that." Nemo noting the remaining time, responds. "Oh, well I'm sorry for keeping you, I should get back to my lunch, seeing as how there isn't much time left... Well, bye!" Her and Megumi go separate ways. Megumi chooses to go to the restroom before the lunch break ends. She walks down the hall to the nearest bathroom, opening the door, she is halted when she hears what seems to be someone crying...
