"GOOD MORNING EVERYONE! THE 45th CULTURAL FESTIVAL WILL BE STARTING FROM NOW!!!"
Cheers and liveliness filled the air around the school.
"It finally begun!!" Haizaki cheered while carrying a carton full of the props of his class' play. Meanwhile, Sabito and Uzui cheered loudly in excitement. Kyoujuro was busy engulfing down the takoyaki that he bought while exploring through the various stalls.
Putting down the carton in the class, Haizaki felt the vibration of his phone making him check the message he recieved. In an instant, his dark blue ocean eyes widened as he stared at the picture he recieved from Shinobu.
"HOLY SHIT!!" His sudden outburst startled the rest of the group making them look at him in confused manner. Uzui slunged his arm around the brunette's shoulder to take a look at the content. Soon, his lips curved into a knowing smirk.
"Oooh~ someone's in love~" Sabito sang teasingly making Haizaki blow a fuse. He scowled at his friends despite of blushing. Sanemi chuckled at his antics knowing full well what had made him act like this.
Haizaki rushed to the washroom. He washed his face and styled his hair before smoothing his shirt and adjusting his tie. He stormed out of the room rushing past his friends who smiled for they knew where he had ran to.
Y/N shyly stood in front of her friends getting showered with compliments for how pretty she was looking. Soon, rushed footsteos were heard and the girls giggled which made her curious. Shinobu grabbed her hand before dragging her to the cooking room.
She confusedly stared at the tray of drink which her friend handed her. Mitsuri pushed her towards the entrance giggling to herself. The black head walked to the entrance with a thought that the order was for a customer.
Her grey eyes widened as she stared at the customer. His dark blue ocean eyes met her grey ones. Both of them stood stunned by each other's appearance.
Haizaki couldn't take his eyes off her. She was wearing a long puffed sleeved white dress paired with a dark green corset. Her black hair were tied into a high ponytail secured with a matching green ribbon.
She looked a hundred times prettier than the picture of hers that Shinobu had sent him.
Y/N fidgeted at her place, getting nervous by Haizaki's staring. She took a look at him and she swore he looked too much handsome. His brown locks were brushed aside and a few bangs were almost hiding his left eye.
"Ara ara~ Akane-san, we all know Y/N-chan is pretty. You can stop staring."
Shinobu's teasing comment made him snap back to reality and he blushed heavily making the girls laugh. He fake coughed and made his way to an empty table near the window.
"Welcome."
Her voice was barely above a whisper for how much shy she was feeling in front of him. He smiled at her before taking the goblet in his hand.
Y/N was about to turn around when a hand grabbed her wrist. She turned around only to see him taking a sip of the drink silently. She stood there in anticipation waiting for him to finish and speak something.
He motioned her to bend down to his level which she did only to feel his lips grazing the pinna of her ear. Her face flushed at the contact.
"You look beautiful."
His hushed voice sent shivers down her spine. Just as he let go of her hand, she immediately stormed off to the kitchen leaving him to chuckle silently.
Shinobu raised an eyebrow at her friend who just stormed into the kitchen looking flustered. She was panting heavily and her hand placed over her heart to sooth her fastened heartbeats.
"What happened?"
Y/N looked at her friend's purple eyes before gulping. Her voice wavered yet Shinobu could make up what she said.
"He is not good for my heart."

"Hey Cherry."
Y/N lips curved into a wide smile as her eyes spotted Haizaki at the entrance of her classroom.
Shinobu had arranged her a break when Haizaki told her that he would be taking her for exploring the festival.
"Haizaki-san!"
The school ground was crowded making both of them difficult to keep their pace together. Y/N's eyes were fixed on the brunette's head. Suddenly, he stopped making her bump into his back.
"What happened?" Haizaki turned around with a tinge of red on his cheek. He extended his hand while scratching the back of his head with the other hand.
"Umm. Let's hold hands otherwise we'll get seperated."
She stared at the extended before smiling as she put her hand in his. His smile widened at he entwined his fingers together with hers. Occasionally, her eyes would stare at his back making her feel warm and fuzzy inside.
They stopped at a crêpe stall. Haizaki chuckled at her confused expression.
"First things first. You need to eat something." He took out his wallet for payment. His eyes spotted a familiar face and he waved excitedly at him.
"Hakuji!!!"
The pink headed male turned around a smiled as he spotted his friend. He immediately excused himself and walked towards them.
"Yo Haizaki. Here for crêpes?"
Haizaki nodded before ordering two. Hakuji's golden eyes landed upon Y/N's petite figure making the brunette beside him turn to her.
"Oh you must be Y/N. I heard a lot about you from this idiot." Hakuji spoke dodging a punch from a scowling Haizaki. He chuckled before walking inside to bring their order.
"He is my friend. Hakuji from class 3-3 and that shy girl is his girlfriend." He pointed at a black haired girl who was shyly talking to Hakuji. Y/N nodded in understanding. Taking their crêpes from Hakuji's stall and bidding him goodbye, they walked around the festival.
They visited the horror house organised by second years. Y/N flinched and screamed at jump scares whereas Haizaki was laughing his ass off at the ghosts' makeup. He had won her a fluff toy at a shooting game after losing for almost four times.
Y/N stood under a tree as Haizaki had asked her to wait for him before walking off to somewhere. She scrolled through her phone while clutching the stuff toy.
"Cherry."
She looked up to see him standing in front of her with his hands behind his back hiding something. He gestured her to turn around which she did. She felt his fingers untangling her hair. The feeling of his fingers was soothing making her unconsciously lean against him.
"Here done." A sound of clicking of a camera was heard making her turn around only to see him taking a picture of her.
"Wait. Let me see." He handed her his phone and waited for her response. Looking at the picture, her hand found its way to her ponytail only to feel the soft petals of a red carnation flower. He had put a carnation in her ponytail along with a star shaped hair clip.
"You look beautiful."
And she swore that Akane Haizaki's small gestures and actions were making her fall deeper in love with him.
