AKASHI

[name] has been acting strangely recently. she hasn't been excepting any of my offers like she usually does. i haven't driven her home since the day she called me he friend four times. i counted.

i'm usually good at reading peoples behaviour and judging what they're feeling based off of how they're acting, but i'm struggling to understand how she's feeling. does she suddenly dislike me? did she find someone she likes better than me? she still follows me around during school, but sometimes she keeps her distance.

she must not dislike me though. she's been bringing me things recently. she brought me a rock that was shaped like a star, another day she brought me a potato chip shaped like the state of texas. she had also brought me a rock that was shaped like a heart. she looked flustered when she gave me this rock.

i've been discussing her strange behaviour with shintaro, but unfortunately he is unhelpful when it comes to others emotions. i should ask satsuki, or kise.

i personally think that her behaviour could mean one of two things. one being that she is looking to move forward, make new friends and spend less time with me. the gifts would be her compensating for this. or she has developed feelings for me.

as much as i would like it to be the second option, i can't help but worry that it's the first option.

it's not like i need [name] [last name] to survive. i already have an amazing social status, i am a successful basketball player, and i am the heir to a multimillion dollar business. but i must admit, my quality of life has increased since i've met the unpredictable girl. i would hate to lose her. she's the first person who i've managed to connect and become friends with. i don't think i would react well to not having that anymore.

i wonder if all of this has anything to do with what happened at the halloween festival a while ago.

i decide i will talk to [name] about how she's feeling during our free period today. hopefully she won't try avoiding me like she did yesterday. i'd like to solve this.

she sits happily behind me at the moment, copying my math notes. she's voiced her opinion on copying what the teacher writes down for us. she says she can't keep up with how fast he writes and then erases things. i think she could keep up with him if she wasn't so focused on how her page looked. of course i would never tell her that.

i work on the math homework we've been given until the bell rings. i pack up my things before i turn to speak to [name]. she's already gone. i didn't even hear her get up and leave.

i sigh and take my phone out of my bag, staying in my seat.
