Helpless At First Sight (Akira X Reader)

Watching From The Side

(Y/N) POV

I keep my head down as I walk to school.

He's next to me!

Kurusu-San is walking to school next to me. Of course he's not too close but....

I quietly scold myself.

How the heck is it even possible to get a crush on a boy just by looking at them....!

I look foreward. My face still feeling a bit hot. 

Despite what Ms. Kawakami said for everyone to listen I continue to draw on my paper, but I do pay attention to what she says as best as I can.

"As you all know, today is the vollyball rally.
"Head to the gymnasium once you've changed. Got it?"

I nod my head for some reason.

Rather than watching the vollyball game, I decided to go on my phone. I take notice a bit to Takamaki-San sitting next to me. Twirling a strand of her hair.

I sigh to myself.

I look back to my phone.

Strands of my (H/C), (H/L) hair falling to the side of my face a bit. I hear a small slam and see Mishima on the floor. I glare at Kamoshida.

As long as he doesn't send anyone to the nurse there's no need.....

I drag my (E/C) back to my phone. I try to block out the sound of everyone's cheering without earbuds. But I don't do anything. Rather instead I just stare at my phone.

After awhile I slowly pick up my head and see Kamoshida spiking. My eyes widening as I see the ball hit Mishima directly in the face.

I quickly stand up and run over to Mishima. As I bend over him my face worried but my emotions angry.

As I watch somebody drag him to the nurse, I give Kamoshida a visible glare...

I lean against a wall on my phone. Crushing the sides a bit in anger but not breaking it.

I hear running foot steps and see Kurusu-San and Ryuji-Kun running around the school.

I feel my face lightly heat up but give them a weird stare.

What are they doing...?

A part of me wants to follow them but I think it's best if I stay out of it. I hear footsteps coming my way and turn my head to the right. I see Ms. Kawakami walking towards me.

"(L/N)-San. I'm sorry this is a late notice but..
"I need you to stay after school for awhile to clean the classroom. Don't worry it won't take long. I'll pair you with someone. I can't do it cuz..... Of something."

I just nod my head and give Ms. Kawakami a smile.

"Sure. No problem."
"Okay. Thank you."

Ms. Kawakami walks away. As I go back on my phone.

Before I can place one of my books into my bag I feel somebody lightly touch my shoulder. I try my best not to cringe from the touch and turn around.

As I turn around my face turns red.

"Ms. Kawakami said that I'm gonna help you clean the classroom."
Kurusu-San tells me.

"Uh--Uh.... AH!"

I quickly place my book over my head. Covering my face a bit so I can hide my blush.

I look down in embarrassment. Until suddenly I feel somebody lift up my book so they can see my face.

I slowly look up and see Kurusu-San looking at me.

"Um... Here."

He hands me my notes. And I slowly and shyly take them.

"Th--Thank you...."

I can't help but to smile a bit. I slowly move the book out of my face and begin to clean the classroom. Along with Kurusu-San.

In the end. I couldn't really bring myself to talk to him besides a small thank you when I left.

As I walk home I sigh disappointingly at myself.

"I had the chance to talk to him and I blew it..."

As I open the door with the lights off I can tell nobody's home.

"Mom? Dad?"

I stay silent for a few seconds as fear grows in me. But I take a deep breath and try to hide it from myself.

"Looks like they're not here again...."

I sigh and head to my room.

The next day; after school

As I walk through the train station I stop as I hear Takamaki-San on the phone.

"Will you please give it a rest!? I told you, I'm not feeling up to it...
"Wait, what...!? That's not what you promised! And you call yourself a teacher!?
"This has nothing to do with Shiho!
"Ah..."

I watch as Takamaki-San san slowly bends down to the ground and I hear her mutter,"Shiho's... Starting position..."

I'm about to walk over to her until I see Kurusu-San reach her before me. Oddly ebough I'm too worried about Takamaki-San to get flustered or embarrassed.

I soon walk over to her after he does.

Takamaki seams to take notice to us and quickly gets up.

"Wait... Were you two... Listening?"

I open my mouth to reply but no words come out. Instead I hear Kurusu-San's voice.

"Not on purpose."
"Haven't you heard of privacy?"
"We.... Were just worried..."
I bring myself to say.

Takamaki shakes her head.
"...No, I was out of line. Sorry."

I watch her in a bit of pity as she wipes away some tears.

"So how much did you hear...?"
She asks in a serious voice.

"Something about a friend."

Takamaki looks down.

"Shiho..."

She looks back at us.

"It's nothing at all.
"Nothing..."

She quickly wipes her tears away again and quickly turns around and starts running.

Worry flows through my body as I quickly chase after her.

"Ann! Wait!"

As I run I think.
This isn't good for my body....

As I run down the stairs I hear some foot steps after me and turn around to see Kurusu. I quickly look foreward and continue to chase Takamaki.

As I reach up to her I bend down to catch my breath. And I can't help but to think.
Looks like he made another deal with someone....
