D-day

Finally, the sports tournament and school festival have come! I feel ecstatic and excited to see students and non-students enjoying their time here. If only the examinations won't come next week, sigh. Anyway, it's time for me to enjoy myself so I can cry freely after the exams! Hehe

But, I feel empty. I wonder why?

As I see people walking around, I can finally understand why.

"He said he was going to tutor me and yet he disappeared." I sigh as I walk listlessly.

It's bad.

I just realized that I like him. Maybe I like him back then, I just failed to realize it. I'm really that dense, huh?

Ughhhh this is bad! If he finds out about it he's gonna laugh at me. I can picture his face already, he's going to make fun of me!

I'd rather he do that instead of like this. I can't see him, I don't know where he is, Is he still alive?

I miss him.

"Hana, you're alone?"

I looked up to see Peach in front of me. I looked around, I didn't even notice I was alone.

I nodded and pouted. "I don't know where they went, they just disappear..."

"Is that so? Do you want me to accompany you until you find them?"

"Yes... Yes please..."

She giggled, probably due to my reaction before slowly dragging me to other class booths. We also watched the ongoing tournament. I enjoyed it, frankly. But there's something missing. I wonder what?

"We still haven't found them." Peach commented after we got tired and now we're eating hotdogs while walking around. "Maybe they went home?"

"I don't think so, it's still early. I felt like they're here somewhere." I answered, still listless. I really don't have any energy today. I doubt if I could run later. I might disappoint them.

Ha, I want to cry.

"Isn't that Lea?"

I looked up and glanced at where she was pointing and it really was Lea, calmly eating dumplings! I stormed my way toward her.

"Lea! How can you leave me alone?!"

Lea looked startled at my voice so that she almost dropped her dumplings and with that, she glared at me.

"What?"

"Don't what me! You left me alone! Siren too!"

"I thought you'll be with Bryan." She coldly said before taking another bite of her food. I stared at her.

I thought so too.

"I'll leave now, Hana. My friends are looking for me." Peach speaks up behind me. I nodded. I didn't even say thanks to her, that was rude of me. I should thank her some other time.

"What's gotten into you?" Lea asks while dragging me somewhere.

"H-ha? I was just tired. I-I've been walking with Peach since this morning..."

"Where's Bryan? I thought you were with him that's why I didn't look for you."

"I don't know..."

"Are you okay?" I just nodded. I want to go home.

"Ouch..."

I lightly touched my forehead when I bumped into something hard. I really need to pay attention to my surroundings.

"You're daydreaming again."

I looked up when I heard that voice and saw the culprit behind my listlessness today. He stared at me waiting for my answer but I can't seem to say a word as my heart beats so fast, I feel like I'm going crazy.

Ever since I admitted my feelings (a minute ago), I've become so self-conscious of him. I wish I can go back to the day I can look him straight in the eyes and shout at him.

"Tsk."

He grabbed me by the wrist and dragged me away.

"W-wait... Lea..."

"She left you alone."

Again?!

"Where are we going?"

He didn't answer. I didn't dare ask again. We ended up at our classroom, where surprisingly, no one is around. He let go of me and closed the door.

"Bryan, what are y-"

My words hang in the air as Bryan suddenly grabbed me for a kiss. It was so intense, I felt like my knees are giving up. He must have noticed that his arms encircled my waist and pulled me closer to him, deepening the kiss even more.

T-tongue... He's using his tongue! What should I do? Should I use my tongue too?

"Shit..." He whispered after letting me go for a second and pulling me again for a kiss. I'm actually afraid that someone might come in and see us but I don't care anymore.

I like this... I like kissing him... I like him...

I want more.

We were both panting when he finally decided to end the kiss. I felt empty but at the same time, happy. Those two days of not interacting with him are worth it, I think.

"Don't you ever show that face to anyone other than me, got it?" He whispered. He's still so close that our nose is touching and our breath get mixed up.

"H-ha? What do you mean?"

"How can you be so dense, Hana?" He sighed and hugged me.

"I really don't..."

"Listen... I'll only say this once." He hugged me tighter. "I-"

The door suddenly opens, revealing Peach. I pushed him away on instinct. She didn't see it, right?

"I hope I'm not a disturbance but the relay starts in 30 minutes, Hana. You need to be on the field now."

"O-okay..."

She smiled at us before leaving. I feel like collapsing! What just happened?

"Right! You were about to say something. What is it?"

"Later." He holds my hand and casually drags me outside.

"What? Why? Say it now!"

"No."

"Bryan!"

"I'll say it if you win the relay." We soon reached the track field. He lets go of my hand and pushes me slowly toward Siren.

"That's unfair!"

"No, it's not. It's your fault for being dense." I didn't get the chance to protest as he walk away to find a seat on the bench. I approached Siren, pouting.

"Am I that dense?" I ask her as I watch her stretching. "Wait. Why are you here?!"

"Isn't it obvious?"

"You're running?!"

She glared at me. "I don't have a choice."

I stared at her unbelievably. To make her do this extreme. I wonder what's the catch?

"Stop staring at me." She said before flicking my forehead.

As I am about to retaliate, the relay starts and we have to get ready. I walked towards my post while trying to locate his whereabouts.

Ah, there he is. He gave me a smile that made my heart skip a beat. That's the first time he smiled like that at me!

I'm really not dense... I think I already know what he means. But I still want to hear it from him so I need to win this race!
