"Yuuki-kun, are you okay?" Said Haruna "You have been looking through the window all morning"
"Was i?" Rito said with a nervous laugh and looking Haruna "Sorry i've been a little distracted i guess". He answer before look to the window again
"What are you two talking about?" Said Risa grabbing Haruna's breasts
"Haruna was asking me abou..." Rito turn to look Risa but started to blush from the situation
"Why Lala-chi didn't come today, Rito?" Risa asked still grabbing Haruna's breasts
"She received a letter from her mom telling her to go Deviluke so she is spending a week there" Rito said looking to the window, but now with a reason.
"Momioka! Shameless actions are not allowed in the school ground!" Scream Kotegawa walking to the two girls
"All right, i won't bother Haruna" Risa said leaving the classroom
"Thanks, Kotegawa-san" Haruna said
"Don't worry just try to not let this happen again" Kotegawa paused and turned to see Rito "Yuuki-kun!"
"Yes?" Said Rito nervous for Kotegawa's face
"The school library sent a letter to the student council saying that you didn't return a book, is that right?"
"Oh right, i forgot about that"
"In that case you should return the book to the library, this is the letter if you want to read it" She said giving Rito a letter before walk out of the classroom
"Yuuki-kun, what does the letter say?" Asked Haruna
"Basically the same that Kotegawa just said, i think" Rito paused and started to look to the letter "It must be something about the library rules or something like that"
Rito opened the letter and started to read. It was a letter from the library as Kotegawa said, basically just a recordatory to Rito about the book he took last week.
"And...?" Asked Haruna curious
"It's just as i thought, it seems that i need to return that book for tomorrow" Rito said
"Oh, and what book did you read?"
"A book about plants" Rito paused "Last week i was watering the plants when i saw some rare mushrooms on the ground, i decided to investigate them but they weren't dangerous "
Rito started to look for the book in his bag. When he found it he stand up.
"Are you going to return the book now?"
"I better return it before i forgot about it again. See you later Sairenji"
Rito walk out the classroom. He walked downstairs to the library and found Saruyama on a table reading.
"Saruyama, can i ask you a favor?" Said Rito
"Sure Rito, what kind of favor?" Answer Saruyama
"If Mikan ask, could you say that i spend all sunday with you?"
"I guess, but why?"
Rito started to think and then he answer: "Yesterday Mikan was going to my dad's office to deliver some things, and she left me alone in the house to clean it"
"I get it" Saruyama paused "So you used me as an excuse?"
"Yeah" Rito said
"Then don't worry, your house is big and i don't blame you for not wanting to clean, after all it was you" Saruyama said joking
"Thanks, i guess" Rito said a little insulted before leave Saruyama and walk to return the book.
After return the book Rito leave the library and found Kotegawa waiting for him in the exit.
"Yuuki-kun, could you come with me for a moment?" Said Kotegawa blushing
"Sure"
The two of them start to walk, Rito noticed they were going to the roof, when they arrived Kotegawa started to talk.
"Do you have an answer?"
Earlier that day...
Kotegawa and Rito were walking together to school after Rito wait for her outside her house as you said.
"Yuuki-kun, about yesterday..." Kotegawa tried to speak but his tone was almost unaudible, but Rito listen her as he remember their date
"Y-You mean the kiss?" Said Rito blushing but trying to keep calm
"Yeah..." Kotegawa paused blushing too "The kiss mean something for you?"
"What do you mean?" Rito asked and stop walking
"I mean, do i like you?" Kotegawa asked
"Of course, you are my friend after a..." Rito talked but was interrupted
"Not that!" Kotegawa paused and her face started to get red "I mean in a romantic way"
Kotegawa's words left Rito speechless, he didn't know that Kotegawa could ask something like that, specially to him.
"Ko-Kotegawa..." Rito tried to talk but was interrupted again
"It's not necesary you answer now, i'm gonna ask you again in lunch time, could you think about it?" She said with a smile on her face
"I will" Rito smiled back
End of the memory
"Yuuki-kun?"
"Kotegawa..." Rito paused "I've been thinking in our kiss since yesterday, i don't know why it happened, but i'm happy about it"
"Does that mean...?"
"Yes" Rito said "I feel the same way about you"
Rito started to walk closer and closer to Kotegawa and then hug her.
"So Kotegawa, would you go on a date with me again?"
A little tear appeared in Kotegawa's eye while she hugged Rito back."I would like to"
The two of them smile to each other and then walk downstairs to continue the rest of the school day. Rito tried his best to continue in a distracted way as he had been all day but he was constantly looking Kotegawa ocasionally their eyes meet making the two of them blush.
The day ended as Rito walk out the school Saruyama call him.
"Rito!" Scream Saruyama
"Saruyama, what is it?" Said Rito turning back to face his friend
"Do you have anything to do now?"
"Mikan said i need to buy groceries for the dinner, why do you ask?"
"You remember the book i lent you?"
"Yes, it was "Another Day" right?"
"I heard that a movie based on the book is going to be shown this evening and i thought you would like to go"
"I can't. Is this evening the only day they're playing the movie?"
"No, according to what i heard it's going to be played till sunday" Saruyama paused "But today was the only day i could go"
"Then, why don't you go alone?"
"You don't remember the book right?"
"Not really, why?"
"The book is over three hundred pages, so i guess the movie is going to be about two hours"
"I see" Rito said "Sorry maybe next time"
After they finished their conversation Rito continue walking and he saw Kotegawa behind him.
"Kotegawa"
"Yuuki-kun, i thought you were in your house?"
"Saruyama started to talk and it took longer than i thought" Rito said "Do you want me to take you home?"
"U-Umm" Kotegawa started to blush "Sure but can i...?"
Kotegawa started to get closer to Rito and then hug her arm as they walk.
"K-Kotegawa!" Rito said blushing because Kotegawa's breast were touching his arm
"Does it bother you?" She said shyly "I thought that as we were dating i could do this"
Rito's face started to get red for Kotegawa's cute face. "Not at all, if you want you can do it".
They continue walking next to each other as they go to Kotegawa's house.
