Secret.

Chap 2

When class was over I grabbed my graded test and left.

"Hey guys!" Me, Bae, and Fauna looked over and saw Sana and Irys waving at us. We started walking over to them till I tripped on my shoelace. I fell on the floor as Bae then looked at me.

"Mumei, when will you ever learn how to tie your shoelaces properly?"

"S-shut up! It's hard, ok!!" Bae started to laugh at me from above.

"Need some help?" My brain froze when I heard that voice. I quickly looked up and saw Kronii slightly bent over with her hand reaching out towards me. My face went red from how pretty she looked. I grabbed her hand and stood up.

"T-thanks..." Kronii then bent down to the floor and started to tie my shoelaces properly.

"Mumei, just cross these two strings over and then make two loops and then cross it over again." I covered my face with my hand from embarrassment. Kronii then stood back up and patted me on the head.

"Do you know how to tie them now?"

"y-yea...."

"Good!" Kronii then took her hand off of my head and left. When Kronii left I saw Bae and Fauna giving me weird looks.

"Mumei~" the both said

"Shut it!!" I then quickly walked over to Sana and Irys as the Bae and Fauna followed.

"You guys wanna head over to the cafe that just opened up across the street when school's over?"

"Sure," we responded. I heard the bells ring signaling us for our next class. I waved goodbye to them and left for my classes.

Each class that I sat in, I kept thinking of Kronii. When school was over I waited for my friends at the front.

"Mumei over here!" I looked over and saw my friends waving at me. I quickly went over to them.

"Geez what took you guys so long! I waited there for so long!"

"Mumei, you know that our teacher lets us out late!"

We started to walk across the street to the cafe as I heard a couple of other people walking there too. When we got in the AC blew in our faces even though it's winter. Me and Fauna sat down at a table while the others started to get in line. Fauna looked around the cafe and then looked back at me.

"Hey Mumei, isn't that Miss Ouro at the table in front of us?" I looked over and saw Kronii with a guy with blue hair.

(I thought she said she was single.......)

"Miss Ouro!!" Looked at Fauna like she was out of her mind as she then smirked at me.

"Oh? I never thought I'd see my students here." The blue-haired dude walked over to our table as well.

"Who are they?"

"Oh, they're some of the students I talked about."

(Talked about? Did she talk about me?.......wait what am I thinking?!...)

"I must say sis, you have some cute students" Kronii slapped the back of his head.

"Don't be weird, Krono."

(Ah, so they're siblings......then I still have a chance.....wait what?!) I started slapping my face a bit and then realized that I was being watched.

"What are you doing, Mumei?" I looked at Fauna who asked.

"Oh, I-I'm....it was hot?"

The 3 laughed a bit and then Kronii and Krono went back to their tables.

The others came back with food and drinks as they then sat down next to us.

"So Fauna, what did we miss?"

"Just Mumei acting clumsy in front of Miss Ouro."

"Eh? Mei Mei, do you finally have a love interest?!" Sana asked as she leaned closely to me.

"What do you mean finally?!!" They started to burst out laughing from how silly I sounded as I also started to laugh with them. We talked and laugh for a couple of hours there and then we started to head back to our student dormitories.

I walked in and climbed up the ladder onto my bed.

"Mumei, what did you get on your test?" I jolted up.

"I forgor about that." I grabbed my bag and then rummaged through to find my test. When I found my test I saw some words written on it in red pen.

'Your testing skills are better than your communication skills.' I blushed at the thought that it was a message from Kronii.

"Mumei?"

"Huh? Oh, I got a 98" Fauna giggled.

"Teehee, I got an 100"

"Of course you did." I looked at Fauna's test from my bed and realized that there wasn't a message on her paper.

(Was I the only one to get a message?......)
