Confession Challenges (MioxRitsu)

A crush?

Reaching the entrance of their school, the bell rang.

"Crap! We're late Mio!"

"Yeah... and it's all your fault, baka!"

Running towards the school building they were blocked by a group of girls.

"Tainaka-san!" they chorused which makes Ritsu and Mio into a halt.

'What now?' thought Ritsu.

One of the girls spoke, "Y-Y-You look so h-handsome, Tainaka-san." She then blushed.

'What the?' confused, but manages to say, "I don't know about that... but, t-thanks? Anyways, we need to go... we're late." Waving a hand, "ja!"

Now they are running down the hallway.

"Hey, Ritsu! If we're going to be caught running down the hallway, I'm going to kill you!"

"Yeah, yeah... save that for later, right now we're going to be late."

When they reach the room, Ritsu attempts to open it when a girl called her.

"T-Tainaka-san!"

Ritsu turned her head and gives an apologetic smile, "I'm sorry, we're late."

Leaving the girl behind.

'Was it just me... or I just saw her face turned red?'

"TAINAKA-SAN! AKIYAMA-SAN! You're both late!"

Sawako's voice echoed through their ears which makes them stood up from their crawling position.

"Yo ho! Sawa-chan! Sorry for being late." Ritsu grinned while scratching the back of her head.

"Sorry we're late, Sawako-sensei." Mio courteously apologized.

Both bowed and went respectively to their seats.

When Ritsu took her seat, she then noted to herself the stolen glances her classmates are making.

The bell rang after their last subject in the afternoon.

'I don't know what's going on but Ritsu became so popular all of a sudden...' Mio thought while currently putting her things inside her bag.

'...maybe because of her looks? I mean...'

"Barnacles..."

"Kyaaah!"

Fist collides with head.

"Ow! That hurts, Mio..." Holding her head in pain.

"Oh my gosh! I'm sorry, Ritsu!" Mio snapped back and aided Ritsu, "Does it still hurt?" giving a worried face.

"Ahh... no I'm fine... What are you thinking anyway?" Ritsu then stood up.
