"YUKI-KUN!"
Hana blurts as she springs up from her bed.
Sweat beads, sliding down the side of her face.
She's quick to calm down.
And runs her hands through her messy hair.
"Not again"
She slightly groans.
Turning and sliding off her bed.
So she can get ready for the day ahead.
'Yuki-kun'
She couldn't help but think of the name again.
That name holds so many emotions.
None of which she can express.
✯
The bell rings from above.
Ever since the incidents at the convenience store, she hasn't gone to traditional Japanese again.
Mostly skipped it.
So she could avoid him.
"Ginger.....and blue"
She mumbles to herself.
Those were the two boys she found it hard to ignore.
It was like the universe wanted her not to.
She shook her head from the thoughts as she walked the empty hallways.
Most kids were already in class.
She was gonna go to the staircase.
Ginger had to of been in class so she knew it was gonna be empty.
Almost there.
She just had to pass the traditional Japanese room.
She tried to quickly walk by.
Without getting noticed.
But almost in mere seconds.
A figure comes out the door.
Almost clashing into her.
She made eye contact with the one and only.
'Blue'
"Hana-San? What are you doing out here?"
She swallows hard.
And steps back.
Trynna back away slowly.
"Oh you also forgot your change the other day."
He dug in his pocket and pulled out the money from the night before.
She was surprised he remembered it.
But kept backing off anyway.
Blue finally noticed her movements.
"Huh? Is there something wrong?"
His face filled with concern and confusion.
She didn't know how to react.
So she did the only thing she could do.
Run.
She quickly turned on her heel and bolted out of there.
"Wait! Hana-San!"
Patters of feet followed behind her.
Not letting her get away this time.
She turned a sharp corner almost bumping into a student.
Running for her safe place.
"Hana-san! Hold on!"
She ignored his yells and passed by the gym.
This time people watching her as she goes by.
She desperately grabbed the nob.
And swung it open.
Getting ready to run up those steps.
But she wasn't gonna get away this time.
He grabbed her wrist.
Quickly pulling her to a stop.
Her eyes widened at the touch.
She tried to wiggle her arm free.
But he wouldn't budge.
Slowly she gave up.
And started to catch her breath instead.
"What's wrong with you! Why do you keep running away!"
She bit her bottom lip.
And glanced at her wrist in his arms.
Knowing he wasn't gonna let her go till she spoke.
"W-what are you some kind of creep!"
She blurts out unknowingly.
"Creep? I came to give you back your money!"
Then his face soften.
"A-and to see why you haven't come to class lately.....are you okay?"
This time her face was the one to soften.
The nice words hitting her heart, harder than before.
"I-I'm fine."
He took one last deep breath.
And slowly let go of her arm.
But she didn't run away again.
"Sorry we had to meet this way. I'm Uenoyama."
He held out his hand.
Waiting for her to shake it.
"H-Hana-San, oh but you knew that already...."
She watched his hand in front of her.
And slowly lifted hers up.
Before she got to his, she hesitated.
But he's quick to finish her actions, and connects them himself.
C R A C K
It felt like a barrier broke within the girl.
Half-way freeing her.
"Nice to meet you."
He smiles
Her heart clenched in her chest.
Did she feel a certain way about his smile?
She silently nodded in response.
There hands separate and go back to their sides.
There first in counter, finally being a sorta good one.
✯
The bell rung signaling traditional Japanese was done.
She closed her book.
And gathered her papers.
And piled them neatly in her bag.
She turned and saw Uenoyama-kun sleeping on his desk.
She never looked at him before.
Well not this diligently anyway.
He murmurs in his sleep.
Inaudible things,
But she found it, a bit cute.
"Uenoyama-kun!"
A voice from the door shouts at his sleeping form.
When she turned to the voice.
She was even more surprised.
There stood 'ginger head'.
'There friends?'
She mumbles in her head.
Uenoyama-Kun's form is quick to wake up at the sound of his voice.
He grabbed his books and bag.
Ready to leave.
Until he made eye contact with her.
Almost thinking about something.
She nervously stood up.
And swung her bag over her shoulder.
"Hey Hana-San. Do you think you wanna hang out after school with me and Mafuyu?"
That must of been 'gingers' name.
She thought about it.
They seemed harmless.
"Uh yeah sure"
Gasp were heard around the class.
She didn't know there little in counter was being watched silently by the students.
Uenoyama-kun shrugs them off.
And grabs her wrist.
"Let's go then"
Little did she know.
This new alliance was gonna bring out her past.
The things she wanted to stay buried within her.
Will slowly start to come out.
✯
"So Hana-San, do you like music?"
Mafuyu states from besides her.
It was quiet for the first few minutes of the walk.
But I guess he wanted to break the ice
"Music? Well yeah I guess"
She looks at the guitar cases on both their backs.
"Are you guys in a band?"
Mafuyu is quick to shake his head.
But Uenoyama nods
"I am. But I'm just teaching Mafuyu how to play guitar"
She nods and looks towards Mafuyu.
He was laid back like her.
And barley spoke much.
But more then her of course.
"So your a beginner?"
He nods with a soft smile
"Yeah. Uenoyama-kun plays well so I wanted him to teach me"
She re adjust her bag on her back.
"C-can I hear you play?"
She doesn't notice it
But Uenoyama's cheeks change to a light pink color.
"Y-yeah sure. When we get to the studio"
She halts
"Studio?"
Mafuyu giggles
"Yeah that's were we're gonna practice"
"Your bands gonna be there?"
Uenoyama nods
"But don't worry. There not bad. Come"
He holds out his hand.
Waiting for hers in return.
She slowly lifts her hand up.
The event feeling like déjà vu.
He finished her actions again.
What was she getting herself into.
