    "She's not here today." Mizuki sighed dramatically.

    "Who's not here today?" Rui replied.

"The girl I like, dumbass." They slammed their locker shut, a little harsher than they had meant to. "Okay, let's go."

    "Are you ever gonna tell me who she is?"
Rui asked as he caught up to Mizuki.

     "Youuuuu don't know heeeerrrrr, so what does it matter?" Mizuki teased.

    "I don't know, I'd just-"

"You'd meddle!!" Mizuki finished.

    "Whatever... I'll find out eventually." Rui smirked.



      "We're starting mid-term class projects this week, you'll be working in groups of two, go ahead and pick your partners now, and then I'll come around with the information packet and rubric." Mizuki's homeroom teacher finished.

     Everyone quickly scattered around, loud chatter filling the room. Mizuki sat still in their seat, resting their head on their hand.

     Ugh, I'm gonna be the only one without a partner, I don't know anybody in this class. This blows dude. I wish I could work with Ena, then I'd finally get closer to her. Maybe even hang out with her outside of school...?

     Some moments pass, and Mizuki's daydream is interrupted by a gentle voice.

    "Well since we have an odd number of students today, I'm going to pair you up with Ena Shinonome, she's not here today so I'll give you a 2 day extension on the project." The teacher hands over a paper packet.

     "Thank you Mrs. Sato." Mizuki says as calmly as possible, before breaking into an involuntary smile after she walked away.

     
       Oh my god I get to work with Ena, this is exactly what I wanted, I didn't expect things to turn out this good!
