Chapter 3
Flower Crown
"She skipped class again, didn't she?" Risa says as she stands there with her hands on her hips while staring at the empty seat in front of her. "She better have a good excuse when I come and find her."
She stomps out of the classroom and heads toward the Atelier, but when she turns the knob, she finds that it's already locked.
"She must be outside somewhere then," the pinkette says and runs off towards the courtyard. "You can't hide from me forever, Miya. I'll find you no matter what it takes!"
Risa continues to search for her lover, however she finds that Miya is not sitting on the bench like she usually does. She scratches her head in confusion.
"Huh? Where else could she be?"
She keeps on looking around for her girlfriend for about 10 minutes now until she finds the dark-haired girl at some garden. Did we always have that in our school? she thinks to herself. She shrugs it off, knowing that she cannot forget what she came to see her girlfriend for and walks over toward the dark-haired girl.
"Miya!" she calls.
"Oh, Risa," Miya says, calmly, looking up at her girlfriend. "What a nice surprise."
"What are you doing out here where you're supposed to attend class?" Risa scolds. "I'm telling you every single day to get out of that habit and you just-" Before she can finish, Miya puts on a flower crown on her head. "Wh-what did you put on my head?"
"A flower crown, silly~!" Miya replies. "I was busy doing this for about the whole class period. You thought I was going to the Atelier or the courtyard as usual, but I wasn't."
"But why did you do this?"
Miya just smiles, stands up and kisses her cheek. "I think you know why, Risa~. Because I love you. You're my precious girlfriend in the world."
Risa blushes as she raises her hand to touch the flowers on her head. "Miya…" She had never seen her girlfriend do something so nice for her.
"You like it~?" Miya asks eagerly.
Risa blushes even more and turns away to hide it. "O-of course. Wh-why wouldn't I like it? Dummy…"
Miya giggles as she kisses her again. Just then, Risa takes one of the flowers from the garden and gently places it on her girlfriend's hair. Miya blushes from this.
"Wh-what is this, Risa?" she gasps.
The pinkette blushes. "I-it's a return gift. Is there anything else you want to know?"
The dark-haired girl smiles again and raises her hand to touch her cheek. "Thanks, Risa. That means a lot to me." She then presses her lips against hers.
