My name is Itsuka Shimo, 19. I have messy brown hair, and crimson red eyes, with sharp teeth. And right now, I was just sitting near the college bench,  i turned my head, then, i saw a girl, her eyes were shining, she had long dark purple hair, with a pink bow tie on her hair. She looked pretty and lovely, she looked at me, then i quickly turned away, and pretended to buy a soda from the nearby vending machine. I tucked my hands in my pocket, and then i realized...I had no money left. "Hey" said a nearby voice. I turned. "Uhh...errmm.....he...hey.." i stammered. I didnt know what to say. I realized that my cheeks were hot, and were crimson red. "Want me to buy you a drink?" the girl said. 'What should i do...?!' i thought. "Err...hello??" she waved her hands in front of my vision. "Huh what?" i said. "Want me to buy you a drink?" she said again. "Umm...s...su...sure....t..thank..s...." i said. I suddenly realized my cheeks were deep red. "A-are you okay?" the girl said. She passed the drink to my hand. "Here you go." she smiled with a shining smile. "T...than...thanks...." i opened the tin can, suddenly...."splashh!" The soda shot all the way from my clothes to my new pair of jeans.
"Uhh...erhh....aaaaahhh!!!" I immediately ran away as fast as i could. "Ah, wait..!!" the girl said.

Slam! I slammed the door. I walked straight to the backroom, suddenly, the doorbell ringed. "Yeah?" i said.                 "Who could it be right now?" i muttered. Must be the parcel guy. "Umm, hello?" said the voice outside the door.
I opened the door. "What now parcel guy..?!" "Huh?" said the girl. "Ehhh?!?" i stammered. "H..hello....i, i bought you another soda.." she said. "Oh, th...thank...thanks." she gave me the soda. And i realized, when i was taking the soda from her hand, i touched her hand. At that time, i felt like i wanted to burst. "Umm, do you mind if i visit you? I've been seeing you so lonely, i pity you.." said the girl. "Oh, umm...sur...sure." i said, i felt stupid, i knew she was way better than me, we're not equal.. "Thanks for letting me in, arigato gozaimasa. (thanks in japanese)" "Oh, err, your welcome.."
I letted her in, and i opened the TV. Suddenly, i accidentally opened the TV cabinet. Then, all my collection of romance novels fell in front of her. My cheeks were as hot as a burning flame. "A-are you okay?" she said. I suddenly fell, and my vision went black.

"Uhh...w-where am i...." "At your house." answered a voice. "Your having a fever, i could assure that."
"Huh?" i said. "I-its okay, im okay, just, leave, im fine." I said. "No your not, your leg hitted the table and then you sprained your leg." she said clearly with detail. "Im okay im okay!" i standed up. Suddenly..."waahh!!!" "oww owww oww!!" I screamed. I fell. Suddenly, she grabbed me and helped me up. "See what i told you?" she said. "Sigh...what should i do now?" i sighed. "Its okay, ill take care of you." she said. "what?!?!" i yelled. I immediately pushed her out the door and locked it. "Open the door, please.." she yelled softly. I crawled and took a bandage. I wrapped my leg, and i tried to stand, but then, "oww oww...!!" someone banged on my door. "Go away!.... Im okay..!!" I said.
"No your not, let me help you!!...😡" she yelled. Suddenly, the door unlocked. "What the-?!" "Your door was easily opened by my super hairclip, haha!" "Owh man..." i sighed. "Now, ill care for you!" she winked. "But firstly, answer me, why are your cheeks always red when you saw me?" she asked. "Uhh.. errmm..." "ANSWER ME NOW" she hardened her voice. I immediately crawled back, and then i fell. "OWWW!!!" "Ah!" screamed the girl. "S-sorry...did i scared you? Im so sorry..." she said with a sad face. "I-its okay, i was just too clumsy.." She held me and took me to my bedroom. "Y-your so heavy!!" "Bwahh!" she said and dropped me on my bed. "Alright, right now, stay here, and just stay, okay?"
"O...okay.." I said. 'What a humiliating situation im trapped in right now...being saved by my crush...' i thought...
Suddenly, i heard some pans clanking. "OI! What are you doing in my kitchen?!?!?" i screamed. "Im cooking!!" she screamed back. 20 mins later, she came with some soup. "Heres some soup. I cooked it for you." she said.
"Thanks..." i said. "Oh and, by the way, what about the question, about why is your face red when you see me?"
"Umm, about that..Its nothing really." "Oh, okay..." she said.
