Unspoken Definites

03 Tugged

"KIM YUNA, I like you!" Hisoka Akio yelled from the front door that set jolt at the occupants of 6th Grade class in the left wing of the school building.

The whole classroom fell silent as Yuna sat still on her seat confused with the sudden confession.

Akio, on the other hand, had burst out of the front door, with his face bright red because of embarrassment. Their class had just ended for the morning session and he shamelessly barged in to shout for everyone else to hear that he liked the Korean girl.

A burst of teasing ruckus emerged from Yuna's classmates who witnessed the young boy's confession. Akio was from the other class of 6th Grade with Yuzuru. He was quite popular at school because he brought his team at the district level of the baseball tournament.

Azami Kyoko nudged Yuna who was quietly sitting beside her. Yuna looked up to her with a questioning look.

She gave her a playful smile. "Hisoka Akio is THE catch. Congratulations, my friend for making it this far." She said giving Yuna thumbs up.

Yuna could not help but laugh at her. They had been seatmates and except from the scarecrow guy in the other classroom, Kyoko had been her other close friend. "Stop it, Kyoko. They must have been playing games. It was the 14th of the Month after all."

It was the 14th Day of March. And though they were all just young kids, everyone knew what happens on this specific day in Japan.

"But he looked completely embarrassed by his own act." Kyoko said, convinced that Akio had all his interest up to the Korean rooted girl. "I wonder what little Zuzu has to say about this."

Zuzu is a pet name they call Yuzuru.

"Yeah," Yuna agreed. "What do you think will he say?" She stab the straw on the foil covering of the yoghurt drink and took a sip.

Kyoko leaned closer, "Maybe he'll finally pull his act together and tell you he likes you too before the day ends."

She almost choked at Kyoko's words. After being convinced that Akio liked her a few moments ago, she was also a firm believer that Yuzuru had a crush on Yuna.

"That's impossible." Yuna said, shaking her head.

Yuzuru had too many things going on in his head to actually thought that he had crush on her.

The sixth graders were asked to go out and enjoy their playtime for their physical wellness every last period of Friday.

The girls were playing by the playground. Some of the boys were playing baseball in the field. In the middle of the game, a commotion among the boys broke the momentum of the game.

Those who were involved were called in the office of the school's prefect of discipline. One of the baseball players of the school who instigated the fight was injured. The kid who hit him did not regret what he did at all. It didn't surprise the teacher.

Hanyu Yuzuru could be stubborn and foolhardy sometimes.

---

The news about the fight quickly spread in the school, faster than the confession to Yuna.

First reason was, the kids rarely get involved in physical fight. Second, it involved Hisoka Akio and Hanyu Yuzuru.

Kim Yuna's name trailed behind those two as she was connected to both boys in a complicated way. The gossipers knew better than trying to get information from Yuna so they held their tongues on their throat.

Yuna, on the other hand, refused to think that she got connection to that fight. She believed that it was merely due to the childish competitiveness of both boys while playing baseball.
