Fixed Relations
"I want to apologize"

[NAME] WALKED INTO THE CLASSROOM, balancing two cartons of milk in her hands. One was for herself, and the other for Emi. She found her usual spot and sat down, casually sipping from her milk carton as she waited for her friend to arrive.

A few moments later, Emi strolled in, a mischievous grin already plastered on her face. She plopped down next to [Name] with an exaggerated sigh.

"Hey [Name], I really did stalk your location, you know. Why did you stay so late? You can't dodge the question in person," Emi teased, nudging [Name] playfully.

Over the weekend, Emi had been relentless, sending [Name] text after text, trying to figure out what she had been up to. But [Name] had skillfully evaded each inquiry, leaving Emi even more curious.

[Name] sighed, knowing she couldn't avoid the conversation any longer. "Do I really have to...?" she asked, trying to soften Emi's resolve with a hopeful, innocent expression.

But Emi wasn't budging. She leaned in, clearly eager to hear the full story.

"We watched videos for a good while, just hanging out," [Name] started, her tone casual. But she couldn't help the slight blush that crept onto her cheeks as she continued.

"And then I ended up falling asleep. I hope I didn't snore... How embarrassing. This is the second time, Emi..." She buried her face in her arms on the desk, hiding her embarrassment.

Emi chuckled softly, her hand resting on [Name]'s back in a comforting gesture. "It's not even that bad. I've told you before, you don't snore," she reassured her, her voice warm and teasing at the same time.

They continued their conversation in hushed tones, dissecting every detail of [Name]'s time with Suna and speculating about what might have happened if she hadn't fallen asleep. The classroom gradually filled with students as they talked, their chatter blending into the background.

As the last few students trickled in, the teacher entered the room with a calm authority.

"Class, quiet down. Let's begin the lesson," he announced, pausing to take a sip from his coffee cup. The students groaned in unison. Causing the teacher to chuckle.
