(Y/n) pov
I realized it was time for school to end so I rushed threw the hallways to get to out. I heard Makoto trying to hand out fliers, but people just walked past him. I kind of felt bad for him everyone was just ignoring him.
Then when someone walked by a paper flew off his stack he had. He bent over to pick it up and accidentally dropped all the papers. Even though I expected it I jumped at the thud the paper made. He started to pick all of them up and everyone was stepping on them and scattered them more. I walked over to him and started to help pick up the papers.
"Thanks Har... (Y/n)?" He said surprised when he saw my face.
"Here ya go!" I said handing him the stack smiling.
"Thanks (y/n)." He said awkwardly. He grabbed the papers.
I giggled a little.
"What?..." he said blushing.
"Sorry... it's just... so awkward I laugh... as a reaction. I saw no one was helping you and I thought you could use some help."
"Thanks." He said nervously.
"Would you be interested in joining the swim club?" He said handing me a flyer.
"I'll take it but I don't know how to swim." I lied.
"You don't have to swim to be part of the club."
"Then why's it called a swim club?" I said laughing.
"Well it's helpful to swim, but people like Gou can't swim and she's part of the club." For someone who probably has said this to everyone in school and has obviously been rejected by almost everyone he sure stutters a lot and sounds super nervous.
"Thanks but if I join something I want to be part of it, you know?"
"Gou's part of it she's the manager."
"Yeah but like I want to be part of the main club."
"Oh..." he said sadly.
"I can help hand out flyer if u want."
"Yes please I could really use some help." He handed me half the stack.
"Haru was helping me before but I don't know where he went."
"Will you please consider joining the iwatobi swim club?" I ask several people but no one would join. This is harder than I thought I probably won't get home for awhile. All to help someone I felt bad for. I can be such a pushover to myself. After about 30 minutes I met back up with him.
"Any luck?" I ask defeated.
"No... what about you?"
"Nope not a single one." I say.
"Don't feel bad they didn't reject you they rejected the club. I just thought maybe if a new face advertised people might stop."
"Haha you probably should have had picked a more attractive face then." I say laughing. "I'm not exactly popular and I'm not pretty so that cut almost everyone from even listening to me."
"Don't say that about yourself." He said.
"Whatever you want to think I guess."
"Thanks so much for helping. I have to go to practice though."
"Oh right." Then I got an idea.
"Before you go... when does your practice end just out of curiosity."
"Around 5. I'll be there if you change your mind."
"Okay thanks bye." I said.
Makoto POV
When I saw (y/n) was the one that was helping me I was shocked. I don't even know why but when I talked to her I got really nervous.
I guess I was surprised in a good way that someone who barely knew me actually took time to help me pick up the papers and hand them out.
After a day of people ignoring me I guess I forgot people like her still existed.
(Y/n) POV
I excitedly turned on my phone and called Toshi.
"Hey Tosh I got a really good idea!"
