The rest of the walk to school was a a little boring, slightly irritating, and extremely awkward. He wouldn't even talk to you unless you said something first. Still, his responded were all short; mostly one word answers.
He looked down and entertained himself by kicking rocks into near by bushes. You were so bored that you started sulking too about why he didn't finish the kiss. It was so frustrating and you didn't know if you did something wrong. You would have to talk to Hirano about it.
Once you finally arrived you turned to look up at him. He was already looking down at you. You smiled and grabbed his hand. You got on your tippy toes and tried to kiss him but he pulled away.
"What are you doing?" You asked sadly.
"Why does it fucking matter?" He asked sternly.
"I don't know. I guess it doesn't." You replied and walked to class.
First, second, and third period were all so boring. Fourth was nothing short of awful. Math. You despise math. You could easily remember words and things like that, but history was another exception. But ELA was a breeze and so was science. Extremely boring though.
~Time Skip~
Towards the end of Math, when you heard the lunch bell, you packed your bag quickly and was the first one out the door. Apparently you forgot to zip your bag, because all of its contents spilled all over the cold tiles in the hallway. You tripped over your pencil bag and fell on your face. All the eyes were on you.
You heard people say things like "all girls are clumsy" and "they should have never even let this disgrace come here". You got onto your knees and yelled at the top of your lungs, "Everyone just shut up!"
You grabbed your stuff and ran away. You threw your bag in the desk in your next class and ran for the cafeteria. You clearly did not know the campus well enough because when you entered the room, you were still running and forgot the placement of the tables. You ran right into one and it knocked the wind out of you. It hurt so bad. Again, everyone stared at you, but this time, you had no where to run away to. You got your clumsy butt off the ground and stood up and brushed yourself off. You looked to your left and to get in the lunch line. The last person in line was the last person you felt like standing by at that moment.
Sasaki.
You walked up behind him, hoping he wouldn't notice you. You put your hood on, trying to hide your face.
When the line moved, you being the clumsy person you are, you stumbled into him and tripped of his foot. You couldn't catch yourself so when you fell into his back, you buried your face in between his shoulder blades covered up by that orange school uniform.
He turned around to see who it was only to see you looking down in embarrassment. You were still trying to hide your identity so you pulled in your hoody strings and covered nearly your entire face in the hood.
He burst out in laughter.
"You know your super cute when you do that, right?" He snickered. You poured your lip and glared at him. "And when your mad!" You didn't say anything. You were still mad at him for not kissing you. You turned your head and sulked looking the other direction. "Why are you so upset?"
"Don't talk to me." You grumbled.
"Why?"
"Because I'm mad at you, you dumb carrot!" He snickered at that.
"Why?"
"Because you were mad at I have no idea what on the way to school, and you were about to kiss me in the morning too, but you didn't finish it and asked me to slap you! I don't even know if it was me and I did something wrong! Then when I tried to kiss you before school started you pulled away!" You looked directly into his eyes with rage. He looked apologetically down to you.
"I'm sorry."
"Shut up."
"Why???"
"Because your so cute when you apologize and it makes me want to forgive you." You explained truthfully.
"I am? Well good. I want you to forgive me. I can use that to my advantage, can't I?" He asked.
"Yes, but please don't." He completely ignored your request.
"Please forgive me, (y/n)." He took your hand into his and held it with both of his. "Please? I know what I did was wrong and I won't do it again. I'm so... so... so sorry. Will you forgive me, (y/n)? Please?" He said with a half smile and his eyes glimmering. His hair covered his eye and he cutely brushed it behind his ear.
"Oh my god stop." You blushed.
"Looks like my tomato is embarrassed." He teased as you blushed even more.
"Your tomato?"
"Yup. Mine." Your breath sped up for some reason, even though you knew he wasn't asking you out. It just sent a shiver down your spine when he called you his.
"Whatever. Just tell me why you did it." You breathed.
"Nope." He said cheerfully.
"Aww, why not?"
"Because it doesn't concern you."
"Yes it does!"
"No it doesn't. (Y/n), I'm not going to argue with you about this." He said sternly.
"Well I am." You thought for a minute. "You said I'm cute before, right?"
"Yeah."
"Well I can't agree with you, but I want to try something."
"Ok what?"
"Oh, please Sasaki? Please tell me. It would mean so much to me. It would make me so happy! Please Sasaki?" You grabbed his hand and hugged his arm and snuggled into his side. "Pretty please? I'll do anything." You said and buried your head in his chest. His face turned white and and then he blushed.
"F-fine. But after school. Got it?"
"Oh, thank you Sasaki!" You said, still trying your best to be adorable. You didn't think you were, but his heart rate was a pretty good argument against your opinion.
"You can stop now." He said softly. "Please... stop." He asked of you when you didn't say anything.
"Ok." You giggled. He smiled down at you. You held his hand as you both walked closer to the food serving area. You locked your fingers in his and rested your head on his shoulder.
Sasaki looked at all of the food first.
"What would you like, Kiki?" The lunch lady asked Sasaki. You laughed silently at his nickname and buried your face in his chest so your loud laughing was not too loud and rude.
"Um, I'll have a, uhh... Peach tea, slice of cheese pizza and cheese cake. Thank you."
"Anytime, Kiki, my boy." She said and Sasaki went to sit down. "And for you, pretty girlfriend of Kiki?"
"Uh, I'm not his girlfriend," you said sadly. "But I will have... hmm... uh... three pieces of broccoli. Thank you."
"Anything to drink?"
"Naw I'll be fine."
"Ok, my dear. Just don't shrivel away!"
"Ill try my best." You laughed.
You looked down at your three sad looking pieces of steamed broccoli. You wanted to eat, but you appetite around Sasaki vanishes. He makes you so nervous that it feels like if you eat anything the butterflies will push it back out.
You looked over at the emptiest table. The only one there was Sasaki. He waved at you and gestured for you to come sit by him. You did.
"Oh, hello... Kiki." You teased.
"Ewww stawppp. Her nicknames are the worst, aren't they?"
"Yes I agree. It's my first time getting lunch from her and I already have two!"
"What are they?"
"I... uh... my nickname is dear... and... uh..."
"And what?"
"And girlfriend of Kiki." You said quieter. He smiled at you.
"That doesn't bother you... does it?" He grinned.
"Umm , no."
"Ok good." He said and took a bite of his pizza. He looked down at your plate and looked back up at you. "Is this all you ever eat? No wonder yours so skinny."
"Haha no. I normally eat more. But not today."
"Why not? You are going to be skin and bones if you keep this up." He looked genuinely worried.
"No I'll be fine." He opened his tea and took a sip.
"You aren't hungry?"
"No not really." You said poking your broccoli with disgust.
"Ok, but you must be thirsty." He said.
"Yeah..." You admitted.
"Have some Peach Tea." He suggested and handed you the can. You looked down at it, and got butterflies. He had put his mouth on the drink before, so if you did was it like kissing him? And lately he hasn't seemed to want to kiss you anymore, so it felt wrong to drink out of it.
You knew your worries were unnecessary and pathetic but you couldn't shove them out of your head.
"Oh. I know the problem. You must be a germaphobe. Here." He pulled two straws out of his pocket and put them in. He got orange and you got green, your favorite color. You smiled, not wanting to explain that the problem was not that you were a germaphobe.
"Thank you, Sasaki." You smiled at him.
"Yup." You took a sip and it was really good. You hadn't had soda for a while because you couldn't afford it with all the other things you pay for. The sweetness was on point. Delicious.
Then he leaned down and took a sip too. Your faces were so close together, you wanted to kiss him. Even just touch his cheek would do, but you suppressed that urge as to not startle him or make him uncomfortable.
"I don't want to take too much of your tea. It is yours after all."
"Ok thank you. It's good isn't it?"
"Omg it's delicious."
"I know right? It's so good!" It was adorable how worked up he got about tea. So cute. "And anyways, can you please tell me now? We're basically alone so it's ok."
"No not yet." He blushed. "I don't want to tell you in the first place so don't push me."
"Pleaseeeee? Nobody can hear us..."
"So? It's like this. Would you make out with a teacher right here in front of everyone. They can't hear you."
"But they can see me."
"But they can't hear you. It's the same thing. I don't feel comfortable saying something so private in such a public area."
"Well I don't think it's the same thing but whatever. I can wait, but don't take too long, my carrot."
"Your carrot?"
"Yes. Mine. If you can call me your tomato for blushing, I can call you my carrot for wearing only orange and having orange hair."
"Haha ok fine. But your still my tomato."
"I know."
