You're My Secret

Snow

The next day.

"Miyuki-san, how should I answer this one?" Satoshi showed his exercise book to Miyuki. And yeah, he didn't call her 'Yuki' in front of others because he didn't want anyone else to call her that. Only he can call her with that special name. At least he thought so.

"Here, let me teach you." Ken-sensei took his book before the girl could look at it. He grinned to that boy which means 'I won't let you go near her.'

"I want Miyuki-san to teach me. Not you, sensei." He pouted.

"You will learn better with Ken-sensei, senpai. Besides, I'm in the middle of helping Sanae-san right now." She made a good excuse there.

She's trying her best to avoid getting near to that boy. He seems more and more attached to her lately and she's not comfortable with that. Her heart always beating faster and she'll stutter whenever he's looking at her, talking to her, being near her or when she looks at him, and all those scene is happening all the time throughout the tutor. Lunch break become a torture to her now. But actually, without she realize there's a slight feeling of happiness deep in her heart for being able to see him every day.

"Did you hear that? Now listen to me." Ken-sensei pulled the boy closer to him. Satoshi was defeated. He let a sigh escape his mouth and reluctantly obey the teacher.

After he's done with the question, Satoshi returned to his chair and saw a pair of glasses on the table next to his. He put it on and rested his head on the table and closed his eyes. He was disappointed with Miyuki's treatment towards him. She's avoiding him and he could sense it.

'She hates me.' He said in his head.

At the other hand, Miyuki was stuffing her mouth with her lunch when her eyes caught the sight of the boy. It's the first time she saw the boy wearing glasses so she keeps staring at him. 'He looks good in glasses.' She told herself. A faint shade of pink appeared on her cheeks.

Suddenly Satoshi opened his eyes only to find that the almond orbs of the girl looking directly at him. He was startled for a while but the he managed to compose himself. He carved the sweetest smile towards the girl whose now has her face burning with red. What he didn't know was her heart is racing like formula one right now.

Miyuki looked to the other way and continued swallowing her food with inhumanly speed only to choke herself.

"Cough! Cough!"

"Are you okay, Miyuki-san? Here, have some water." Ken-sensei came to the damsel in distress and handed a bottle of mineral water to her. "Eat slowly, dear. Your food won't go anywhere."

"Don't.. call me.. that,.. sensei.." She told the teacher off as she's still grasping for air.

"I'm just joking. There, there, take it easy." He said while patting the girl on her back.

"It's not funny at all." Miyuki said after feeling better.

As for Satoshi, he was talking with Furihara when he heard Miyuki scolds the teacher. 'Take that, you old man!' He let go a chuckle from his mouth.

"Why are you laughing, senpai?"

"Nothing, nothing. I just had something crossing my mind."

Lunch break is almost over and the students are leaving. Now there's only Satoshi and Miyuki left behind, so they walked together. Both are being awkwardly silent. Miyuki who holds her books to her chest with both hands walked slower so that Satoshi will be walking in front of her.

From behind, she observed the man. He has his sleeves rolled to the level lower than his elbows. He has one hand holding his books while the other is in his pocket but she could still see the black strap of his watch on his wrist. His shoulder is broad and strong. His arms are muscular, resulting from playing basketball.
