Secret Message - SemiShira

2

Ignoring the lingering gazes that followed me

Shirabu's Pov

I sat at my desk, absentmindedly sketching random objects as I waited for the class to end. The minutes ticked by slowly, but finally, the teacher dismissed the class. I got up, ready to leave, when a girl with light brunette hair stopped me in my tracks.

"Hey, Shirabu, right?" she asked, her voice filled with uncertainty. I nodded, curiously. The girl continued, "You probably won't remember me, but I used to go to Shiratorizawa, and we were in the same class."

I looked at her for a moment, trying to place her face. Then it clicked, and exclaimed, "Mimi-chan?"

A smile spread across the girl's face, confirming the guess. "Yes, you remember. I just transferred from another school. How have you been?"

Returning the smile, with a fake, I replied, "Been good. And you?"

Mimi nodded and said, "Also great. Um, also, do you mind showing me to the music room?"

I raised an eyebrow, a hint of confusion in my voice. "Why do you want to go to the music room?"

Mimi's gaze dropped momentarily before meeting with mine again. "I wanted to see Semi, and I heard he's in a band."

I nodded, remembering Semi "Oh, right, Semi. Yeah, I'll show you."

I led Mimi to the music room and opened the door, revealing two boys sitting on chairs, fiddling with guitar strings. Semi looked up, a smirk forming on his face. "Hey Shira, finally decided to visit me?"

Rolling my eyes, I stepped back to make way for Mimi as She entered the room

"Hi, Semi senpai! It's been a while" Mimi busted in with a huge grin

Semi's smile faltered slightly as he awkwardly replied, "Yeah, it's been a while. How have you been?"

Mimi responded cheerfully, "Amazing now. Thanks to Shirabu, I found you." She turned to look at me, and Semi took the chance to mouth, "Who is she?"

A sigh left my mouth "Mimi-chan, it's been a while. Semi probably doesn't remember much from high school. You guys should catch up," I said, shooting Semi a disapproving look

"Mimi, you look very different now," Semi remarked, trying to recover from his earlier confusion

Mimi turned back around, a hint of excitement in her voice. "Really!? That's great, then. I thought I didn't change at all." They chuckled

Mimi then said regretfully, "I would love to catch up, but I need to go to my next class."

Semi's disappointment was clearly feigned as he replied, "Sure, visit later then. Bye!" He waved her goodbye

I chuckled as Mimi's figure disappeared from sight. "You definitely don't remember her, do you?" I asked Semi, still amused by the situation.

He shrugged nonchalantly. "Doesn't matter. So, was she your girlfriend? Oh wait, you've never had one before, have you?" Semi teased, poking fun at me.

Leaning against the door frame, I argued back, "For your information, I have had a girlfriend before."

Semi placed his guitar on the table, trying to stifle his laughter. "Oh really? When was this? In kindergarten?" he jibed.

I shot him a death stare, my frustration growing. The boy who had been sitting next to Semi got up, announcing that he was going to grab some lunch. Semi nodded in acknowledgement, and now it was just the two of us

Semi sauntered over, one hand casually tucked into his pocket. With a mischievous glint in his eyes, he spoke up, "I'll be waiting for you next week." He winked playfully.

I gagged at his feeble attempt, then replied firmly, "Let's get this straight, I don't like you!"

Semi tilted his head, gazing at me, unfazed by my rejection. "Aw, you're in denial. How cute," he retorted, a smirk on his lips.

My face turned crimson, a mixture of embarrassment and annoyance washing over me. "Gross. I'm leaving," I declared, turning on my heels to exit the room.

As I walked away, I could hear Semi's laughter trailing behind me. "I'll be expecting you next week!" he called out, his words filled with amusement.
