Love Is Mysterious

All Eyes On You

*Akamatsu POV*

*Tap*Tap*Tap*Tap*
I don't know why but whenever I'm bored
I like to pretend the table is a piano and I tap out one of my favourite tunes. I guess that's why people call me the piano freak.
*Tap*Tap*Tap*

"Miss Akamatsu! I know you're speciality is piano but would you please refrain from tapping the table like a piano and pay attention this is important!"

"S-sorry Sir..."
*Sigh* it's not my fault that whatever he's going on about is so boring. Wait. What is he telling us that is so important.
I decided that I should probably pay attention but just as I did I noticed someone looking at me from across the room. Well actually they weren't looking at me it was more like.... staring..?

I looked right back at them and we made eye contact for a split second but they quickly looked away and if I wasn't mistaken they appeared to be almost scared at the fact that our eyes met.

The person who owned the pair of eyes that were staring quite intensely at me was a boy who had been in my tutor ever since I started at this school. You would think I would know his name by now but I'd never actually spoken to him. He was quite cut off from the other student in our year, he liked his own space. I often saw him in the library silently reading but he always looked content with his book so I never interfered. The only people I'd  ever seen him have a conversation with were Harukawa and Momota but apart from that he kept himself to himself. In a way he was a very mysterious person.The boy had navy blue hair that was almost black. He wore a black cap that covered most of the top half of his face so you could barely see his eyes but from what I could tell they were a gold/green sort of colour. Quite beautiful actually.

I decided to dismiss his staring though as he had stopped for now, anyway it's not like I could just call to him from across the classroom.

After tutor finished I went to my locker to get my books for my next class but just as I was about to close my locker I felt once again a pair of eyes staring at me. I looked  to my left to see that a couple lockers down the boy from before had his eyes glued to me. He was actually starting to annoy me since this is the second time he's done this in the first 40 minuets of school.

I swiftly closed my locker and walked over to him and pouted. "Hey if you have something to say to me then say it! Don't just stare at me!" He started to shake in fear. Crap! Was that too aggressive I don't want to scare the guy.

"O-oh I'm terribly sorry I-I didn't mean to..." he was stuttering. Well now I feel really bad.
"Well it's fine I guess. Just don't do it in the future okay?" I smiled brightly not wanting to traumatise this poor guy anymore and began to walk away.

Until suddenly I felt a hand grasp mine, I turned around and saw the shy boy with a face flushed a shade of red. He quickly let go of my hand yet his touch still lingered on the tips of my fingers.
"A-ah s-sorry it's just... there a-actually was something I-I wanted to ask you.." I just tilted my head in confusion.
"Well y-you see I was wondering if maybe... you w-would like to work on the class p-project with me..?
I just stood there with a blank expression.
"Uhh class project..?"
"Yeah... y-y'know the one the teacher was telling us about in tutor. W-we are supposed to work in pairs..."

Ah so THAT is the important thing that the teacher was telling us about.
Well it's not like I was planning on working with anyone else plus he looks really cute now that he's all flustered
"Oh yes of course! I'd love to work with you for the project!"

As soon as I spoke those words his face lit up. "R-really you would! Oh thank you, this really means a lot to me!"
He was like an excitable puppy. Completely different to how he was just a few moments ago.
Seeing him so happy made me quite excited too.
"Okay then how about we meet up after school today! Is that alright with you?"
"Yes that's great! I-I mean cool. That's cool.."
He was still considerably flustered.

"Oh by the way uh this may seem rude being that we've been in the same tutor for so long but... what's your name?"
Wow I feel kind of embarrassed that I don't even know the guys name.
"Oh uh d-don't worry it's fine"
From his expression I can tell he's slightly disappointed. That's fair though I'd be disappointed too if someone had said the same to me.
"My name is Saihara. Shuichi Saihara. It's nice to finally properly meet you Kaede Akamatsu."

We then exchanged numbers and with that parted ways.
But for some reason I found myself
anticipating my next meeting with the mysteriously adorable Shuichi Saihara.
