She felt a light tap on her shoulder, which startled her. "Hello (Y/n)," art peep.
"Hi.." (Y/n) turned behind her in the lunch line to see her recent classmate.
"Is something wrong?" Art peep. He looked away as she fidgeted with the end of her skirt. The line continued to advance. "Well anyways, I was wondering if you'll like to eat with the art club in the art room with the rest of our class for lunch; what do you say?" There was a rockus in the middle of the cafeteria suddenly, a blonde boy with blue eyes seemed to be the nucleus of it.
"Um, I don't think..." She stood with her lunch, waiting. "Actually, that sounds like a good-"
"Hey (Y/n)! How's my favorite girl doing?" Teru
"What's up Teru?" Boy
"Oh hey! How you doing dude?" Teru
"Teru, I need to talk to you man-" Teru's friend.
"Hey Teru, can I sit with you guys too?" Teru's fangirl.
"Maybe later," he answered; "Yeah sure," he replied almost instantly.
"Aww, you're so cute together!" Another fangirl.
"I'm totally jealous!" Yet another girl.
"Thank you!" Teru. His arm had been around (Y/n)s shoulders.
"We're not dating.." (Y/n) uttered, feeling Terus grip on her waist.
"What was that?" The first fangirl that had spoken asked in a sour tone.
Teru ignored all of them, pushing past with (Y/n) by his side, "Come on- let's eat".
"Hey (Y/n), I was waiting for you to walk home," Teru, reaching out to hold her hand. "Your hands are freezing; you should wear my-"
"Stop.." she yanked her hand close to her chest.
"Hmm?"
"I- I said.. Stop! I'm not your girlfriend, and..and I'm not your friend either!"
"But we've known each other forever,"
"That..that doesn't count.."
"Our friends think it's cute-"
"Your friends,"
"What's wrong with you? I'm just trying to protect you; can't you see!? You're a nobody without me! You'll get teased and stepped on; what should I do then?"
"Let them!!!"From then on Teru and (Y/n) "broke up" and she started to hand around with the quiet people, the "losers", and started getting teased by the popular kids- Terus friends, but she was happier since she could be herself now.
When Mob beats Teru up he gets sick, and comes to find out none of his "friends" visited him even though he was out for a solid 3 days.
Then he finally gets a visit, it's (Y/n), who had been to his department a share of times and knew the door password."(Y/n)?"
"You never took losing well, did you? Even when we were in grade school,"
"How did you-"
"I've known you for the longest I've even known anybody, Teru- I'm sure you know too, that not even our parents know us this well.."
"I'm sorry- for everything,"
"You've been a jerk to me forever, why apologize now?"
"Because I realized.." his gaze was lost to the ceiling "..that I'm not as special as I thought I was," and then fell onto her "Actually, I've known- That there are other people like us. I just didn't want to accept it," and he smiled "Can we be friends?"
"I don't know,"
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, aren't we friends?"
"You said we weren't,"
"I wasn't sure if we were friends, or if I was just attached to you. I'm usually shy around most people and always changed homes, so how am I supposed to know what true friendship is? But then I remembered you. Every time I look beside me, you're there- you've always been here,"
"I'm sorry I never let anybody get close to you. I wanted to protect you and to make you as happy as I was, but I didn't realize I was taking you away from who you are,"
She bit her lip, then sighed "I was angry, I'm still angry, but it's not like I can fix anything by being angry at you," She had unconsciously reached out for his hand, as she often had when they were in grade school.
"Are you angry at me now?"
"No, I just think you're an idiot with a big head,"
"I am an idiot with a big head,"
"I'm glad we can agree,"
"Friends?"
"Friends," she smiled warmly at him.
"You're burning my hand," he chuckled.
"Sorry.. sorry!" Her face quite literally went in flames as she removed her hand.
"You're adorable- are you sure you just want to be friends?"
"Don't push your luck, Teru,"
"Okay okay,"
"I'll come back later to check on you,"
"I'll count the minutes,"
"You're so dramatic,"
"And you're beautiful- just like a sunflower,"
"Quit.. quit making fun of me,"
"You're blushing, sunflower".
