Hand shaking, I struggled to grab the book I was reaching for as my nerves wouldn't settle down. The whole group had gone to the book store together which meant that Tooru was here, we hadn't spoken since what I said, since I didn't pick up any of his calls or messages out of shame.

"Hey [Yn], what's up with you? You're being all weird" calling me out, Yuki tilted her head back to look at me from where she stood. My hands started to tremble more as the colour drained from my face, I didn't know what to say back so I just blankly stared at her. "I just.. really want this book! Yeah!" I snatched the book and held it in my hands with an awkward smile as I pointed down at it with my index finger.

"If you say so.." Yuki also awkwardly smiled back, probably thinking I was just really weird. As she went back to what she was doing before, I looked across to Tooru who was already looking at me as well. As our eyes locked, I got embarrassed and pulled my head down to stare at the book in my hands. 'They both die at the end' the title made me feel a bit uneasy but, I always loved angsty books so if it was anything sad then it would be good for me.

"You're checking out? I found something I want too, I'll come with you" Miyamura's voice brought my attention back to earth. The two started to walk off and I watched before looking down at my own book in my hands. "Are you also going to check out?" Yuki smiled towards me as she gestured to the book I had, I tilted my head to the side and held an uncertain expression. "Yeah, guess I am"

I then started to walk after them, sucking in my breath and holding it in as I made my way past Tooru. "Hey, [Ln].." as he uttered my name, I slowly stopped in my tracks and nervously glanced at him. "Hey, Tooru, you know you can just call me [Yn]" I smiled before continuing to walk past him to go and check out my book. I caught up to Miyamura and Hori, smiling towards them as they greeted me.

"Woah really? You told him?" Sakura gasped from beside me as we walked down the hall together, she was generally shocked as I spoke about all that happened yesterday. "Some how, I was more concerned about when Tooru said that Iura liked me.. does he really?" I rubbed the back of my neck, I felt off about this all. "You're calling Ishikawa by his first name now?" Sakura smiled.

Nodding, I looked down at my feet as I continued to walk "I always told myself that I wouldn't call Tooru by his first name 'till the day I confessed, it was like this unspoken rule that I had" explaining the reason why, Sakura nodded in understanding. We were about to turn the corner when we were ran into by someone else who was also turning the corner, making me lose my balance as I fell to the floor.

My eyes widened as a brown liquid then poured over my head from a coffee cup that fell out of no where. "Oh no!" Recognising that voice, I looked up to take in Yuki and Tooru who were standing up with worried faces and were holding the bins, so that's where the coffee cup came from. "[Ln], are you okay?" Sakura bent down to help my up, discarding the own coffee stains that were on her shirt.

As Sakura lifted me up, I brushed off the dust on my skirt and raised my hands, waving them side to side "I'm fine, don't worry" I smiled earnestly. "I am so sorry" Tooru bowed to both of us, his eyes glancing up to me for a few seconds before looking off to the side. "Don't be sorry, we're the ones who ran into you" Sakura waved it off with politeness and then grinned over to me as she elbowed my arm.

"Ah Sakura, you can borrow my jacket for your shirt" looking over the stain, I felt bad for if she had to wear a dirty shirt home, that could embarrass her. "But.. what about you? You're covered in stains and I have my own.." Sakura gestured from my head to my toes as she took notice of all the brown stains on my shirt and skirt, my hair was also dripping. "I can wing it! Plus my jackets a bit bigger which makes it more comfortable!" I held up my thumbs and beamed widely as I tried to reassure her.
