third ride。

-

"Yuta.." oblivious, akane whispered.

"Hey," the boy said under his breath with his beautiful smile, wearing their school uniform with one button unbuttoned. Yuta seated beside akane and deeply sighed. "whoo! I barely made it!" He exclaimed.

"Why? where did you go?" akane asked, remembering that she saw yuta on the queue before the boy instantly disappeared.

"Nowhere." he simply answered. "i was just standing on the queue for an hour but some of the passengers cut in line so i was dragged away." he added with a bit of irritation and aggressively messed the side of his hair.

He's beautiful. akane thought which made her cringe her nose. Just what on earth is she thinking? 

But the young man is gorgeous indeed, she just felt embarrassed at what she thought.

"Oh. It's that good that you've made it" she remarked and smiled but confusion still lingers at the back of her mind.

the boy disappeared before the train comes. she was very sure it was Yuta because of his side profile and built. Creepy isn't it? she only met him last night but it's like she already knew him for a long time.

Maybe my eyes are just playing me. She mentally said and shook her head.

"Are you okay? looks like something's bothering you" Yuta asked worried which pulled akane from from her deep thoughts.

"Oh! yes, I'm okay, don't mind me" she said surprised, and let out an awkward laugh. "Hey, you didn't take the train this morning?" she asked as she remembered Yuta didn't rode the train earlier.

"Ah, that.." he slowly mumbled in a low tone. "I forgot to tell you, I only take the train every night" the boy said quite embarrassed "Did you wait for me earlier?" he said with a hint of hope in his voice which made Akane widen her eyes.

"No" akane immediately objected which made the lad lose his grin.

"Is that so? i'm sorry for--" his words were cut-off when akane waved her hand infront of him; more like motioning 'no'

"No, no it's just that- i mean i didn't wait for you but i-i tried to f-find you" she said as her voice gradually lowers because of embarrassment. She lowered her head because she knew her face is now red as a tomato; she doesn't want Yuta to see her like that. "Uh, aren't those two different t-things?" stammering, she added.

"Yes" Yuta said trying to hide the grin on his face. "Don't be shy about it, just tell me you missed me" the boy teased; trying to loosen the atmosphere but it made Akane's face even redder

"I'm not!" she shouted out of embarrassment which made the other passengers at the back look at her with confusion visible on their faces. Well, more like gazing at her like she's going crazy.

Akane immediately bowed and apologized to the passengers. "Why are they looking at me like that? i'm expecting them to be angry at me" She whispered to the boy

"Don't mind them, just put on your earphones but don't play anything" He said and it was Akane's turn to look at him with a questioning face. "So you can hear me" he answered the girl's unspoken question.

"What's the point of that? we can just talk without my earphones on" the girl said and leaned her back on her seat

"Just do it and don't look to my direction, okay?" the boy ordered which made the girl leave with no choice but to follow Yuta's order.

"Tell me, why do I have to do this?" akane asked with her earphones on her ears and looking straight at the opposite seat in front of her; trying her best not to look at the young man.

"To make you look normal" the boy simply said. The girl narrowed her eyes and glared at the young man

"Why is that? do i look weird?!" she whispered irritatedly.

"I told you don't look at me" Yuta said and poked akane's left cheek; turning her head back in front of her.

"But you're more weirder than I am" Akane scowled which made the young man chuckled.

"You didn't know. weird is an underestimation" the boy cheekily said and pressed the play button on akane's phone. A sweet ballad song began playing through her ears which made her sleepy.

"Yuta, wake me up when i'm on our station" with eyes half closed, she said and a large yawn followed. She felt the boy's shoulder shook like he was laughing, he actually is. Probably because of what he just saw but Akane was too sleepy to smack his head and shout at him for laughing at her.

She finally fell into slumber with her head leaning on the boy's shoulder and felt her heart skipped a beat. what was that? she felt something fluttering inside of her, it's making her insides swirl. It was wonderful and she doesn't want it to end.

Why does she feel like this to the person she barely even know? is that how the heart works? oblivious, akane slept with a smile on her face.

But as time pass by, the warmth and the fluttering slowly faded. No. why? she thought

She slowly opened her eyes and found that she's already on her stop. She immediately looked at Yuta's place and the boy is nowhere to be found.

Maybe that's why.
