Yamaguchi yawned as he passed by the school gates. He checked the time in his phone and returned it back to his pocket. Since it's early, he could only see a few students hanging out inside their class or outside to wait for the arrival of others. He opened the door of his class and saw a single person inside the room with her back facing him. She heard him enter and turned around, her violet eyes reflecting the morning sun.

"Tadashi-kun, good morning" Ayame smiled at him. He blinked and greeted her back.

"Uh...good morning, Ayame..." he said before placing his bag on his desk "Why is she acting like...it didn't happen before?"

She approached him "Ano...Tadashi-kun, thank you for escorting me. Mom told me that you accompanied nii-chan when he carried me home"

"Don't think about it" he told her "Anyway, are you okay now?"

"Yep!" she grinned at him, though he could see that her violet eyes are saying otherwise but he said nothing.

"Please...stop lying anymore...it hurts...it hurts to see you hiding something painful...I want to help you... please tell me..."

However, he smiled at her, despite what his mind is thinking.

"I see. I'm glad to hear it"

"Thanks for the concern" she replied before punching the air "Yosh!! I can't wait for morning practice!!"

"Uhm...Ayame, we have no club activities this morning. There's an inspection in the gym, remember?" he told her.

"Eh?" She flinched and lowered down her arm. She turned around and gave an awkward laugh "Hehehe...sorry, I forgot..."

"You forgot? Sensei announced it to us the other day"

"Eh?! He did?!"

"Yeah" his face suddenly turned worried "She looked shocked when I told her that Takeda-sensei announced to us...I'm pretty sure she was there...Ayame was never the type to forget things that involves club activities...What happened to her?"

"Are you really all right?" he asked again.

"Y-Yes! I-I'm fine!!" she stammered out. He heard the shakiness of her voice and knew that she's lying, again "A-Ah! W-Which reminds me! I-I'm going to the library to do my homework!"

As she scrambled to collect her things, Yamaguchi stopped her "We have no homework. And also, you weren't the type to forget homework and stuffs"

She stopped and gulped. There was a heavy silence that settled around the two until it was broken by Ayame.

"I'm sorry..." she whispered "I...I kinda had a lot of things in my mind today..."

She bit her lower lip after saying that and he saw it. She's hiding it again. He didn't say anything and he stopped bugging her, knowing full well that there are some lines that cannot be crossed.

"I understand" he said softly "I won't ask"

"Yet..." he secretly thought.
