Those Other Times

_______________________

"You have a huge crush on Suguru don't you" Shoko tells me while playfully poking the side of my stomach

"WHAT? Who told you that?" I whisper-yell as my eyes widen and I look around to make sure nobody heard

"Nobody told me anything, it's just very obvious.  It's cute and honestly I think you'd have a shot with him" she giggles

"No way it's that obvious... and here I thought I was genuinely mastering at hiding me feelings for him. Have you ever felt something for either of the guys? I mean you must have at one point right? especially after knowing them for a good time"

Shoko gives a disgusted expression and shakes her head while crossing her arms
"Oh no never.  I cannot picture myself ever liking them, I don't see them that way and I never will,  it's different"

"Really? Wow that's unexpected...  Also what do you mean by I may have a shot with him?"

"You haven't heard it from me but supposedly he's interested in a girl in the first year class"  she shrugs and smiles with a face that says 'hey, do what you want with that information'

"You're lying, there's no way someone like him could possibly like me, there's no way" I say in disbelief, sweat forms at the nape and my palms become sweaty as wel

"I'm just saying! I say that you try to get close to him and see what happens"

"I don't know... what if-"
"Uh uh uh, don't give up before you even start"

"Shoko!" Gojo's voice echoed through the corridor and both me and Shoko perk our heads up at his sudden approach

"I'm over here!"  She shouts and he pops up in the corner and looks down at both of us
"Oh hey L/n" he waves his hand
"Hey, Gojo" I say quietly and the silence that follows is surely enough to think there is something going on between us.  I'm not sure why I'm shy but maybe it's his intimidating height

"Sensei wants us in his room in a bit and thought I'd come get you. Suguru is already waiting for us over there" He turns to Shoko and she nods
"Alright, see you later Y/n and don't forget what I said"

"Well, I'll think about it" I say and she leaves but Gojo stays behind and you stare at him blankly

"Suguru wishes for you to accompany him after school if that's ok, he's helping Sensei with something, that's why he couldn't tell you himself.  Is it a yes or a no?" he says calmly, awaiting for my response

I feel my heart forget to beat a pulse and I part my ljps to give my answer
"Tell him I'd love to hang out after classes" my lips form a smile and he nods and returns the gesture

"Sweet, I'll tell him then. See ya around" he said as I see his tall figure leave my sight
"Alright..." I say even though he's left
