the next day, i wake up pretty late from staying up and gaming with my online best friend practically all night.

i glance at my schedule and see that i have biology again today. i silently celebrate and quickly hurry to school since i'm already late.

the first period is pretty chill, but tetsurou won't stop talking and picking fights with the teacher. it's a little bit agitating, but at the same time, it's entertaining, and i won't have to do as much work as mr. inoue assigns.

the bell rings, and my heart jumps. i have biology next. i swiftly make my way to the class, and there are a few students already sitting down.

i scan the room, but there's no sight of the blonde boy. i internally sigh and sit down at a seat at the front. a few minutes go by, and he still isn't here.

it kind of sucks since we have to work with our partner through some questions regarding the experiment, and he isn't even here.

suddenly, the door flings open, and everyone turns their heads. the boy, kozume, is standing in the doorway and looking around. when he locks eyes with me, his eyes flick down instantly.

"sorry i'm late," he says to the teacher, bowing down slightly. the teacher dismisses him, and he walks in. i look over at the boy, who seems lost.

"you're with me!" i say in a slightly loud voice to catch his attention. he looks at me and nods, making his way over to sit next to me. the classroom is pretty loud, which makes me more confident to talk to him.

"kozume, what do you like?" i ask, looking over at the blonde boy. he looks at me, his eyes narrowing a little bit.

"uh, what do you mean?" he says in his usual small voice.

"like, for fun," i say, shrugging slightly. he jolts back slightly, a flush appearing on his face. did i say something wrong?

"i like gaming, i guess," he replies, nodding to himself for reassurance. my eyes sparkle at that very moment.

"gaming? what games do you play? what's your tag?" i ask, instantly realizing how rude it is to fire off questions like that. i see how overwhelmed he gets and apologize, feeling embarrassed.

"all kinds of stuff, i guess..." he says, avoiding eye contact with me and just continuing to write on his piece of paper. i nod my head—ouch, did i just get rejected?

after the bell rings, i'm about to get up, but kozume's hand attaches itself to my wrist. my eyes flick over to him, and i look at him. he's looking away.

"would you like to eat with my group this lunch?" he asks, avoiding eye contact. right now, i'm jumping with joy internally.

"oh, sure," i say, trying to sound casual. he stands up, and i silently follow him out of the class.

as we walk down the hallways, i begin to notice that the more we walk, the quieter it gets. suddenly, kozume stops in his place, and i run into the back of him.

as our bodies collide, i can practically feel how physically fit he is. i quickly step backward, bowing down slightly.

"s-sorry..." i apologize, with a red tint on my face. oh god, this is so embarrassing.

"it's okay." he turns around, smiling softly with one hand raised as if to say 'it was no biggie.'
