3rd Person's P.O.V.

As the certain couple arrived at their classroom since the first bell already rang they both went to their seats and of course everyone was once again murmuring about the certain couple, the red head glanced at her lover, which her lover noticed they both looked at each other before the red head smiled warmly, after a few minutes of just smiling at each other the second bell rang and the teacher entered the classroom.

Nothing important happened during the teacher's discussion although the teacher was surprised by the couple's changes, but soon the teacher just shrug it off and continued teaching.

'I'm surprised everyone is actually believing it! Well except for Kanan-chan and Mari-chan, I wonder how things are doing for them?'

Yō-chan thought while a small giggle escape her lips which made Riko-chan glance at her direction, confused she decided to poke Yō-chan's forearm and Yō-chan glanced at Riko-chan's direction,
'What's so funny?' Riko-chan mouthed and Yō-chan shook her head earning a pout from Riko-chan

'Mou stop hiding secrets from me...' Riko-chan mouthed again and Yō-chan playfully roll her eyes and looked at the front. Riko-chan decided to give up because she knew that Yō-chan wouldn't tell her, sighing she looked at the front and listened to the teacher's discussion and copied notes while stealing glances at her lover who was too focused to even notice her lovingly stare as frustrated as she was she looked back at the teacher and not even glancing back at her lover.

'Why am I like this? This isn't much of a big deal but why do I make into such a big deal?'

Sighing to herself while she rested her chin on her right palm while her elbow was rested on the wooden table in front of her, as she sighed for who knows how many times her lover finally noticed.

'Riko-chan seemed kinda, down... Should I ask what's wrong?'

And with that Yō-chan glanced at her lover and poked her lover's forearm but since Riko-chan was practically daydreaming she didn't notice her lover's pleading stare.
"Riko-chan. Hey Riko-chan..." Yō-chan spoke and poked Riko-chan and this time Riko-chan looked Yō-chan.
"What do you want, Yō-chan?" Riko-chan whispered softly and Yō-chan stayed quiet. For some strange reason she couldn't find the proper words so Riko-chan waited for Yō-chan to speak. Mustering all the courage she had she finally spoke,
"Hey Riko-chan, is there something bothering you? You've been spacing out for quite some time now... And I'm really worried..." Yō-chan finally spoke which surprised Riko-chan.
"Don't worry I'm fine, I'm just tired that's all..." Riko-chan whispered and Yō-chan knew Riko-chan was lying. And it somehow made Yō-chan feel guilty.

'-chan is worried and I lied over some stupid reason! Now she thinks I don't trust her!'

Riko-chan mentally slapped herself but soon an idea popped from her head.

'I'll surprise her later.'

And so Riko-chan smiled while thinking of her plan.

-Time Skip-

As the ball rang meaning it was lunch time Yō-chan stood up and walked away and of course, Riko-chan followed her.
"Hey Yō-chan wait up!" She said and Yō-chan flashed a fake smile while walking towards Riko-chan.
"What do you want Riko-chan?" Yō-chan asked and Riko-chan flashed a bright and toothy smile before speaking,
"Well, I want to eat lunch with you." Riko-chan spoke energetically and Yō-chan smiled a little, only a little.
"Hey you okay?" This time Riko-chan was the one who asked Yō-chan and Yō-chan smiled sincerely and walked beside Riko-chan.
"Shouldn't I be the one to ask those?" She mumbled but to her disappointment Riko-chan didn't hear her.
"Hey, Riko-chan. Do you still love me?" Yō-chan asked worriedly and Riko-chan stopped walking, her head hung low afraid to see those charming baby blue eyes.
"Hey, look at me and tell me that you still love me." Yō-chan demanded and Riko-chan slowly looked up only to see such a painful sight, Yō-chan was crying.
"Yō-chan, I love you and only you okay?" I said and walked slowly towards her and this time she cried.
"Hey don't cry." Riko-chan whispered softly and hugged her, while she cried.
"Do... You even... Trust me?" She stuttered while crying on Riko-chan's shoulder, and the said girl glanced at the fragile girl who cried so much.
"Yeah, I trust you more than I trust myself!" Riko-chan said earning a small yet audible giggle.
"Thanks for cheering me up, Riko-chan." She said and of course Riko-chan grinned at rested her forehead on Yō-chan forehead before saying those 3 words,
"I love you." She whispered and waiting for the other girl to reply to her 'I love you'
"I love you too, Riko-chan." She said and kissed Riko-chan.

They were both glad that no one was there. Or so they thought.

Hanamaru was there clenching her book.
"Why can't Yoshiko-chan realize that Riko-chan will never love her back?" Hanamaru mumbled quietly and when she turned around she saw Yoshiko. She was stunned to see the girl walking towards her direction but she realized that Riko-chan and Yō-chan was still there so she walked towards Yoshiko-chan and grabbed her wrist which surprised Yoshiko-chan
"Hey Yoshiko-chan can you accompany me to the library, I left something there." She lied and pulled Yoshiko-chan to the other direction.
"Alright?" Was the only thing Hanamaru-chan heard and so they went to the library.

When they entered the library, Hanamaru-chan grabbed a random book and faced Yoshiko-chan who was busy spacing out.
"Yoshiko-chan?" Hanamaru-chan spoke softly and Yoshiko-chan immediately looked at her,
"What is it?" She asked while gazing at the brunette who kept clutching the poor book,

After what felt like minutes Hanamaru-chan hesitated for a while,
"I was wondering, how long have you started liking no no loving Riko-chan?" Hanamaru-chan finally asked and Yoshiko-chan's face started turning red and then she looked away.

That was when Hanamaru-chan realized that she couldn't make Yoshiko-chan fall for her, since Yoshiko-chan is so in love with Riko-chan.

"Actually forget that I asked. Let's just go back to the classroom." Hanamaru-chan broke the awkward silence by leaving the library first. Which surprised Yoshiko-chan.

'I hate this stupid feelings I have for my childhood friend...'

Is what Hanamaru-chan thought before crying.
