Just A Bookworm(A Danganronpa Fanfiction)

False Hope and A Small Confession

I ran to my locker and changed out my books. I had to get out of the halls so I wouldn't cross paths with Kazuichi and Sonia again. I shut my locker and began to quickly walk to my class. Suddenly, I heard someone yell behind me. 

"Hey! Can I talk to you for a second?!" 

Why did I think that the question was toward me? To my dismay, it was because it was Kazuichi's voice. I turned my head a bit, but my peripheral vision failed me as I accidently locked eyes with him.

Yep, he was looking at me. 

I should have went on my way. I should have pretended not to hear him. I should have ignored him. But, I stopped for him, my mind racing on a reason. That's my weakness. False hope. 

Kazuichi caught up to me. My legs started to shake again. 

I can't act like this in front of him! Why can't I be myself in front of any of them? 

"W-What do you w-want?" I asked, trying to sound confident. 

"I just wanted to ask you a question...Why did you yell at Miss Sonia?"

Miss Sonia? I think I'm going to puke. But I can't yell at him too. 

"B-Because it makes m-me sad when you g-get rejected all the time..."

"She hasn't rejected me yet!" Kazuichi objected. 

That's it, I can't hide it anymore. I give up. 

I pulled Kazuichi to the side of the hallway and looked around. No one seemed to be looking in our direction. 

"I-I...I think you're f-funny, nice, and h-hot..." I whispered. 

I can't believe I just said that. Especially the part about Kazuichi being hot. But it was true. 

"WHAT?!" Kazuichi screamed, wearing an expression as if he had seen a murder. "Are you serious?!"

Now that attracted attention as everyone in the hall looks right at us. 

This is too much attention! 

Without thinking, I ran all the way to my next class.
