Hollow Heart

Friday, 6:30 am

I woke up earlier than usual...

I don't know if it was because I slept early or I felt like I should. Either way, it was another day at school. I got off my bed, stretched a bit, and put on my glasses.

As I was going to get my uniform, I suddenly had a flash of what happened last night. To put it all short:

I told Yuumi EVERYTHING I knew about Asami

It's not like I could keep my mouth shut. After all the probably mean things I did to her, I guess this is a way of making it up to her.

With that flash I suddenly became extremely embarrassed. To keep myself sane, I slammed my head on the cabinet door, and the flash suddenly disappeared.

"Phew" I say as I grabbed my uniform,

"I ship you guys..." I suddenly heard someone whisper,

"GAH! Damn it Yuumi, I told you to drop it!" I shout,

"Yes you did, but that doesn't mean I could bring it up again~" she says grinning,

"Well- uh..."

Crap, I got nothing!!!

"Oh whatever, breakfast is ready" Yuumi says as she walks out of the room,

Good, she showed herself out, but something she said still bothered me...

What the hell is ship!?

What does a boat have to do with me and Asami? Oh whatever, I'll deal with her after school.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As if my day wasn't bad enough already, it just had to get worse.

I got to school at around 7:30, which is exactly 30 minutes before it starts. Once I stepped into school grounds however, Asami was waiting for me right by the gate.

"Yo Kayden-kun! What's up? Why the dull face?" She asks as she approaches me,

"Rough night" I answer,

"Wow, how rough?" She asks,

"You don't wanna know" I reply,

"Well then, this should cheer you up!"

"What will- !!!!!"

I was suddenly startled because she was tickling me, and I suddenly lost control and tripped, then Asami followed after.

The position was well... extremely awkward and embarrassing...

She was right on top of me, luckily we had no contact because she was keeping herself up with her arms, while I was flat on the floor. There were two things that made this worse, first, our faces were literally a few inches away from each other. Second, everyone could see us.

I looked at Asami, and she was turning a deep crimson red color, and I could feel the temperature from her face.

"Um... Asami? Are you sick? You're red all over" I say,

"Ah!? Uh... N-N-NO! I'M NOT!!!" she says in a panicked manner,

"Oh okay... NOW GET OFF!" I say in a straight voice,

"H-H-Hai!" She says as she struggles to get up,

After our feet was on the ground, I took a glance at the jacket I was wearing, which had dust all over it.

This was my favorite jacket....

I quickly brushed off the dust particles, and Asami did the same to her uniform. I took a look,and I noticed something a bit different about her.
