( (y/n) pov)

i walk up to the big school in front of me pulling on my bag straps with one hand and rubbing at the bridge of my nose with the other. i know that if i keep my head down i should get to class okay without anyone noticing, but the anxiety is starting to build up again i should stop thinking.

a voice in the back of my head says that i should just skip this school day and go straight home, but i don't have the energy or motivation to deal with my parents right now so instead i head inside the building. my feet lead me through all those halls to my first class , i take a seat in my usual empty desk and wait for the teacher to come in so we can start the lesson.

the teacher walked into the room and started the lesson like normal, but my mind was somewhere else. i tried paying attention but it was hard to focus on what the teacher was saying. when the lesson ended i packed up my things as quickly as possible before leaving the classroom.

(time skip to lunch cuz i'm lazyyyy)

i walked outside to a nearby bench under a small blossom tree trying to think about anything except how much i wanted to curl up in a ball and die. i pull out my bento and start eating (f/f) to get my mind off of things . after I've eaten half of the container my cell phone vibrates next to me and i look at my phone to see who might be texting me when i see a massage from some random person i decide to ignore it 'it's not important anyways' i thought to myself, i spend a couple of mins staring into space until i hear someone walk towards me.

'oh fuck,what are they going to do,why are they walking over to me,they must think i'm a weirdo' the thoughts run through my mind. " hey there,your (y/n) correct?" the person says to me "yes,that's me" i answer nervously, my hands shake at my sides as the unknown person walks closer. " i'm nao Mochizuki" he says full of confidence and extends a hand for me to shake, i ignore his hand and say" nice to meet you..." my eyes widen when i hear him chuckle ." you don't need to be so nervous around me, i'm not gonna hurt you!" he reassure me while looking straight into my eyes, he then sits down beside me and asks " you seem kind of sad ,is everything okay? " " i'm fine..." i replied not convincing nao whatsoever , he gave me an unamused look.

" you don't need to tell me since you've just met me but i'm just worried about you "he said gently. " I've been having problems lately with...myself " i confessed looking away and playing with my fingers. " what kind of problems?" nao asked. " it doesn't matter, just leave it okay? " i replied quickly." i wish i could help you more than you seem willing to let me, but i won't force you to open up, i hope you feel better soon " nao said and started to leave. " bye " i mumbled. " i'll talk to you later (y/n) " nao said and smiled sweetly. he then walked away leaving me alone once again as i wondering why he seemed so interested in me. i sighed and put on my headphones so i could listen to music to try to distract myself from worrying.

(time skip to after school)

i left school and started making my way to my house i also saw nao from across the street but ignored him since i had no desire to talk to him. but to my awful luck he spotted me and started walking to me. he stopped in front of me and smiled. " hey (y/n), i want to ask you something,would you wanna hang out with me today?" " oh uhm..well..." i stutter out trying to find an excuse not to hang out with him." please (y/n)" he said sweetly,his smile made my heart melt slightly and i found myself smiling back at him." okay then, i guess I can spare some time for you" i responded shyly. nao smiled brightly at me " good! well then let's go, i live just a few streets away " nao grabbed my wrist and pulled me forward towards his house. ' great now i'm hanging out with a complete stranger' i sarcastically say to myself,i already regret saying yes. we walk for a bit in silence till nao stops and opens up the door to his apartment.

" here we are, this is where i live (y/n)," nao said letting go of my wrist once we're both inside the apartment and gesturing for me to follow him "you can sit wherever,I'll get you something to drink, be right back" nao says while walking down the hall.

"it looks like he lives alone" i mutter to myself and examine the small apartment it was cozy and simple. nao came back a couple minutes later with water in his hands and gave me one of the cups of water and i drank it gratefully." thank you nao " i said putting the cup down on the table beside me. " no problem " nao replied smiling kindly at me . i couldn't bring myself to return the smile because i didn't trust him, hes a complete stranger and i just met him today ,but the warm smile in his eyes made me happy nonetheless. nao looked down at his own cup of water then back up at me and cleared his throat." well (y/n),you know, if you ever need to talk-" he began. " i already know what you're gonna say" i interrupt him. " i don't want to talk about it,so forget i even told you " i said getting up and leaving, i didn't fell comfortable enough to stay long, nao looked disappointed. " leaving so soon?" he questioned me and i turned around and saw that he was frowning at me." yeah,i'll see you around nao " i responded quickly and made my exit.

i started walking to my house again but i felt a pair of eyes watching me from behind i decided to ignore it, its probably my imagination and continued my journey home.
