manipulation | baji kesiuke x reader

eight | confronts

i was shoving a hand full of gummies in my mouth making my cheeks all fat when i felt a figure standing behind me
'i was looking for you' they said
'who are you?..'

-
the sun was in my eyes and i had to squint them to see who was standing behind me. i recognized that voice from somewhere. it took me a few seconds to realize who it was; the girl in my class who always stares at me. oh shit don't tell me she's going to fight me? am i even prepared for this? ive never gotten down with someone like that. wait what i have even done?

"oh yeah i forgot to mention, sorry. my name's hinata but you can just call me hina"
she took a seat right next me on the bench
"oh uh my name is y/n" i said a little awkwardly i still don't know what she wants
"i know we're in the same class" she said with a bright smile
you know what when she's smiling she doesn't seem so mean but i still have no idea what she's here for
"well i actually came here to ask if you wanted to be friends, are you new here?"
what the hell is going on? literally in class she stares at me like i'm a robot and then comes here to ask to be friends? am i getting bamboozled

"oh. i really didn't expect that actually...but sure and yeah i am" i responded
"what do you mean? why didn't you expect that?" she asked
"well no offense but i actually thought you hated me or something, since the first day you gave me a weird look when i got here and same thing happens in class you stare at me and i thought i did something wrong to you" i let out
....
the only thing i hear afterwards is a loud chanting of laughter. hina was laughing so hard she started slapping her knee and grabbing her stomach as a reaction
"oh my god you make me sound like a complete bitch" she said while still laughing and wiping her eyes from...tears? [of laughter]

"well anyways i'm sorry about all the staring. yes it is true that i've been staring at you a lot recently i'm sorry if it made you uncomfortable it's just i did because the first day of school i saw you walk in with baji and because i had never seen u around, i didn't recognize you" she explained to me
pls don't tell me she likes baji... i gulped
even worse—don't tell me they're dating
did he have a girlfriend all this time that i didn't even know about? wait no i've seen her with a blonde haired guy before from our class

out of no where my eyes widened and i gasped inside my head
is she cheating on the blonde guy with...baji?
the thought of it turned my whole brain into a black hairball
i sighed and shifted my head down as my brain hurt from all those thoughts

"on the first day of school i was waiting for my boyfriend takemitchi at the front of the school and i saw you and baji walk in together and i was surprised to see you with him, baji never told me had finally gotten a girlfriend" she said confessing

i almost chocked on my own saliva
i started coughing really hard and hitting my chest like i was gonna die
"OH MY GOSH ARE YOU OKAY" hina said all worried and moving her hands around trying to help me in any way possible

when i finally was okay again i looked away from her due to my cheeks being extremely red and hot from hearing what she had said
"WOAH WOAH WOAH HINA ? i'm not bajis girlfriend i barely even met him" i said all protective

"oh? really? ive just never seen baji smiling that hard, or with a girl, i assumed you were his girlfriend sorry" she apologized

that realization of me and baji clicking so fast always makes me so damn happy because now i know it wasn't just me who felt like we clicked. a stranger that you meet in one day can make you feel what someone makes you feel in one year. it makes me blush but i can't admit that because i have only known him for so little

-
me and hina kept talking all throughout lunch as we got to know each other a bit more. i learned that the blonde guy from our class is takemitchi? i think that was his name, is her boyfriend. she basically knows baji because her boyfriend is friends with him

i also told her everything about me and baji and how we met and everytime i spoke about some memory of me and baji she would smile and giggle and start teasing me as if i liked him which i'd deny every time even if my cheeks felt red

the bell rang meaning we had to get back to class. lunch was now over. at this point i had finally made a new friend and didn't even get to open the page in my book where i had left of reading yesterday by my self—at that same spot
