An Attainable Goal

Scribble, Scribble... Scribble Scribble Scribble...

Minutes passes by as the clock above the doorframe of a classroom ticked towards three fifteen in the afternoon.

A pair of familiar students stayed back in their home room that they were assigned to, both had on eyes that focused on a large green sheet that hung in front of them with white markings all over it's body.

Chalk, that's what the tattoos on the chalkboard were made of. Some were small phrases, others were drawings that the two students created as the board would provide no space for a drawing or a question nor an answer as they would use an eraser to make space for the new marks they wanted to make. It would make up a foggy puddle on the wall, a new question to ask their friend like if they prefer cats over dogs or what kind of ice cream they love.

Overall, the two had fun. They continue to write with an excited feeling inside their hearts as it looks as if they don't intend on stopping anytime soon.

Especially with Komi who bats a small glance after writing a question on the board and aimed it towards Y/n. She had just asked what was his favorite season was, a small smile on the young boy's face as he attacks the board with words that popped in his mind.

Komi couldn't help but fixate herself on the boy rather than the answer he was currently drawing up on the green sheet of hard paper in front of them.

For some reason, it made her feel different than before. Of course she was excited that she was at least communicating to someone but the smile.

The look of his grin was genuine. It made her queasy in her stomach like butterflies while her heart starts to ache softly. She holds a hand on her chest as she continues to watch Y/n write his answer with a small red tinted look on her cheeks.

I like Fall a lot. I want to say Summer because it gets
hot but sometimes it gets way too hot and I can't
go out just because the sun is burning way too much.
Plus the atmosphere is lovely in public with the
festivals and the holidays coming up.

Y/n smiles at the small paragraph he made and turns to Komi in return widening her eyes a bit and turning away. He couldn't help but laugh softly at such a cute reaction she pulled on him before turning back at the board and writing something unrelated.

Do you have a goal for high school, Komi? Or
what do you want to do in high school?

He was a little curious at what the ravenette thought, whether it was a goal she made for herself before high school ends or a sport or a club she wanted to take up.

For me, I want to get straight As in any of
the three semesters in my high school years.

He turns back to check on Komi to see if she wrote anything but what caught in her gaze. The girl was as well as their eyes locked for a second.

This feels... different for some reason...

Why was he feeling this way, he thought to himself. The two would meet each other's eyes occasionally during class and even now when they get to know each other but this time, it was way different. His heart picks up the rapid beating pace as Komi was still frozen in place as well.

"Um... Komi?"

Luckily, Y/n wasn't too deep into his thoughts as much as his acquaintance was as she blinks twice out of her train of thought and a pair of imaginary cat ears sprouted from her head and starts writing on the board. It took a few minutes for the girl to find her answer and writing it down, she finishes the sentence and starts to regret what she wrote.

"That's your goal?" She jumped when she heard his voice emit near him, her eyes still wide at the surprise Y/n gave and quickly wrote on the board.

Please don't laugh at me...

Komi was a tad bit worried after writing the three statements on the board, her eyes still in shock as Y/n read what she wrote and starts writing once more.

The princess starts to get a little curious as she looked over his shoulder and followed the chalk with her eyes, making up a short sentence for a small bit.

I'm not laughing.

He continues to write underneath the first sentence, Komi's violet eyes continues to trace the chalk along the chalkboard and finds another complete sentence just for her.

I think it's a great goal to have.

The h/c continues to smile softly at the girl while she glanced back and forth from the board to the boy, she heard the chalk attack the board once more and finds him writing some more.

What he wrote next moved her dearly and shockingly at the same time.

I'll be your first friend

He stops writing for a second and nods to himself, writing more underneath.

I'll be your first friend and help you make more.

Y/n stops once more, only this time he glances back at Komi who was reading what he written over and over again before looking back at the boy. The smile he used to have had already changed into something a bit more serious, he focuses back in finishing what he had in his mind.

That is if you want to be friends with me.

The h/c stops writing. That's what was all he had in his mind as his eyes gazes down at his feet, his hand still on the green board as he wondered how the girl would feel about his request.

Pack, pack, pack... Pack... Pack...

The sound of Komi's writing utensil hits the wall once more as Y/n takes a second to look up and find out what she had said.

I would love that.

His eyes widens a bit. He didn't believed it at first as he read it over and over. Once, twice, three times before his menacing e/c orbs focuses back at Komi who dropped her arm to the side, turning red once again before running off and out of their classroom.

Y/n watched it all unfold. But he was happy nevertheless as he writes down the last line he wanted to write and puts away the chalk stick.

I'm glad, Komi. ･◡･

The boy was still ecstatic while his iconically small grin appeared once more as he glanced back at the exit of the classroom where Komi went through and turns back at the full blackboard the two wrote on and lets the smile turn into a determined one.

Don't worry, Komi... I will help you gain a hundred friends before we graduate together at the end of high school...

He curls his hand into a fist as he looks up at the ceiling with the same smile that was filled with determination as he now had a mission that he must fulfill for not only for him but for his new friend as well.

...Because that's what friends do... They help each other out... right?
