|3| Escape.

◇◇◇

I was now currently in Akane's room my back stuck on the wall and my wrist unable to escape his grip as my hands were placed over my head.

Our height difference was not much but at this moment I felt so much smaller underneath his agressive and impatient gaze. I tried to open my mouth to explain but he as if sensing my voice wanting to jump out he had sent me a glare which made me whimper instead.

The eerie and uncomfortable silence filled the room. 'Now I know why no one ever tries to take him to school early despite his plenty lates.' My pupils contracted as I was drifting to my thoughts. A grumpy and grumbling man was staring at the wall his sideview was now seen by me.

'He looks good at any angle as well, did this man have any flaws at all visually?'

"Can you please, let me go."
His face snappily faced me the moment I said those words.
"No." A wicked smile was now on his face as I was at a loss of words with how he was acting at the moment.
"You woke me up."
"What?"
"You woke me up."
I looked at him in the eye as his hold on me loosened. Taking this chance to run I stumbled a bit before hearing a cracking sound which took most of his attention before I ran turning the knob of his door and closing the door as I ran out.

"What was that." I mumbled.
I excused myself from his parents and rejected their goodwill to invite me to dine with them as I waited outside their residence.

My mind was still out of it.

"I'm about to be late again." He muttered with a sigh.

I looked at my watch, there was still a whole 3/4th of an hour before class would be starting, how long would it take him to reach school?
I tapped his shoulder as he faced me before looking at the opposite side. "oh..."
"It's me Sakura."
"Kouno-san? What's up It's such a coincidence that we meet today." My eyes widened as I heard his ever usual voice as he faced the opposite side as he greeted me.
"Pfft." I held my laugh in before tapping his shoulder again.
"I'm here to walk with you to school."
"All of a sudden?"
"Yeah, some professors have been complaining recently about how you've been missing your morning classes."
"Ah..."
He paled at my words before bowing his head. "Please take care of me."
"Sure."
I turned and started walking forward before realizing that akane was nowhere to be seen.
"Kouno, you're suddenly so tall now did you wear some heels today?" He questioned as I caught him talking to a tree making me glance at my own green hair. I tugged on his shirt as my lips were in a thin line.

"Akane please move in the direction I tug you towards."
"Sure Kouno-san." His smile blinded my living daylights as he said those words innocently in front of the tree.

And so we treaded that way but during one of our ways to pass by the pedestrian lane Akane signaled for a stop.

"What's wrong?"
"It's uncomfortable."
"What is?"
"My shirt is being stretched a bit."
I eyed his shirt which was a bit... stretched... due to me tugging him the whole way.
"Ah, would you rather hold onto me then?" I proposed as I offered my hand to him which he obviously didn't see since he held on my arm and shook it.
"Sure."
I then fixed the whole him holding my arm instead of my hand as I felt his palm against mine. My face reddened as I finally caught up on what I had just said and did.

"Let's go." I whispered as tried to walk as fast as I could to get to school.

"We're here."
Akane was looking at something, I followed his gaze and saw that he was looking at our intertwined hands which I had immediately parted.

I took a step back as our proximity with each other seemed too short for my liking now.

"Please get your glasses soon."
"Ah, thanks for reminding me, I think I'll be getting another alarm clock as well ahaha."

'Wait a broken alarm clock, was that what I heard crack a while ago.'

"See you another time Kouno-san."
This time he was looking at some grass growing at the side. Once again, is my green hair so easily mistook for some grass or tree leaves. I took a sigh as I saw a classmate of Akane approach us soon taking him to their classroom.

'My head aches.'
