Bloom Into You [Lumity AU] (DISCONTINUED)

❀Found Out❀

I walked into the classroom to find Jerbo sitting at his desk. He turned around to see me waving his pencil case.

"Is this your pencil case? I found it in the student council room yesterday." I said while handing it to him.

"Ah, so that's where it was. Thanks." He said, taking it into his hands, "Hey... What were you doing yesterday?" He asked me all of a sudden. I slightly jumped.

"What do you mean?" I tried to hide my nervousness.

"You stayed behind with Amity, right?" He asked, "I was just wondering what you two were doing on the computer."

"Oh, uh... Just looking up info on classes, homework, and mid-terms. And stuff." I nervously laughed. It's so hard to hide my blush right now.

"Whoa, that's great. I'd like to learn that, too."

Right as he finished his sentence, the school bell rung.

"I have to get going. See ya!" I waved and quickly scurried off.

I nearly panicked. Just stay calm, stay calm...

"Sit down and have some tea. There are plenty of snacks, too." Amity said as she placed a cup of tea in front of me, along with a bunch of snacks.

"You can bribe me all you want, but I won't agree to that play." I turned away and made an uninterested face.

"Here, here, here." She waved a chocolate stick in front of me.

"Eh? I can't bait you into this either, huh?" She made puppy eyes and took the snack and placed it in her mouth.

"You don't give up, huh? I figured you were the type who would easily give in under pressure." Boscha said as she took a sip of her tea.

"Even a small role is fine. Once you get into it, I swear it'll be fun." Amity tried to persuade me.

I quickly turned to face her, "I hate being in front of crowds. Do neither of you have an issue with that?"

They stared at me, "I don't struggle with it. You don't have any problems with it either, right, Amity?" Boscha turned to Amity.

"Well, no. I wouldn't even mind being the leading actress." She said confidently as she winked at me.

That was a big, fat, lie.

During your election speech, you managed to keep up a perfect image, but on the inside, you were a nervous wreck. And now you want to do a stage show? Tsk. You may be good at "acting", but still...

"Why are you so determined to do this stage show, anyway?" I asked.

"I only have this one chance to participate in the Cultural Festival as president." She leaned back in her chair, "So why wouldn't I want to make things more interesting? Isn't that reasoning enough?" She looked at me.

"Come on, let's do it!" Amity jumped forward and landed on my shoulders, tugging them over and over again.

"No way!" I turned away.

"But why?!" Amity whined.

"I just told you why! I hate being in front of crowds!" 

"Could one of you help me take these flies over to the reference room?" Boscha interrupted our small quarreling session.

"I'll do it." Jerbo offered as he stood up.
