Tuesday Afterschool

   "Hey, Terushima!" You called out. You were at Walmart buying a few stuff and happened to see him looking at... never mind you didn't want to know anymore. "Heeeey!"

   He slowly turned around and saw you staring at him from the end of the aisle. "Oh, hey, wassup?" He replied and went up to you. "When's your date with Rin?" He asked you.

   "Saturday." You responded. "Were you mad?" You questioned. He gave you a confused look in return."At McDonald's, when Rintaro asked me out." You further explained.

   "OH!" Terushima exclaimed in realization. "To be quite honest with you, I didn't really know what to think. I've also sort of thought he had a crush on you, but I never knew for sure, so I was just sort of surprised." Terushima explained. You slowly nodded in response. "Well, anyways I gotta go so, byeeee!" He quickly ended the conversation and walked away.

   You couldn't help but feel a little sad and even a bit disappointed. You were slowly slipping away from him. Normally y'all'dve talked for hours without it getting awkward one bit. Now he tries making the conversations short and they always seem awkward. You didn't want to lose him, but you were pretty helpless in this situation.

   "You good?" You heard a voice from behind you. "You've been standing there doing absolutely nothing for like a good three minutes y'know."

   You turned around to see Futakuchi. "What the heck are you doing here?!" You exclaimed in surprise. Futakuchi was pretty much everywhere.

   "Getting some stuff for my mama." He explained, holding some stuff such as canola(savitarbarry02 she'll get it. It's her nickname because my mom accidentally autocorrected her name while texting me) oil and rice for you to see. "Then I also got some Vicks for my ankle."

   "Oh, yeah. I forgot you sprained your ankle" You admitted, glancing down at his ankle. It looked swollen still, better it was much better than when he first sprained it.

   He followed your gaze and looked down at his ankle as well. "Still hurts, but it's getting better." He told you. "And with this..." he held out the vicks vaporub, "...it'll get better a lot faster."

    "Yeah, Vick's always works for me."

   You couldn't help but noticed how your conversation with Futakuchi was just as awkward as your conversation with Terushima was, but Futakuchi actually seemed like he was trying to make conversation with you, unlike Terushima.

   "Wanna walk around together?" He asked. You quickly looked up and nodded. As you walked closer to him, you noticed that he was putting most of his weight on his left ankle, which wasn't the sprained side.

   "You good?" You asked him.

   "Yeah, of course." He quickly replied. You started walking a bit, Futakuchi heaved a sigh then followed you. His limp wasn't that bad actually. He managed to hide it so well that you could barely tell he was injured. "The real question is are you okay?"

   "Mmhmm." You hummed back. "Why wouldn't I be?" You questioned.

   "I don't know, you just don't seem like yourself." He thought out loud. "Like, I've barely known you for a week, but I have a feeling that you ain't alright." He explained. "Ya know?" He looked down at you. You looked back at him and then quickly looked back down. "Come on, you can tell me anything."

   "I know." You mumbled quietly.

   "Fine, how 'bout this?" He started, causing you to look at him in confusion. "You answer my question and I'll answer any questions you have for me in return. Yeah?" Futakuchi suggested.
