"You're in love with her." - Irumatsu

Miu has been having some confusing thoughts towards one of her female classmates recently. She was sure she was straight, so why couldn't she get Kaede off her mind?

°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

     Miu twiddle with the pencil in her hand. She was supposed to be working on a project with her group, but she couldn't keep her eyes off of Kaede. There was something so alluring about her, something that the inventor couldn't quite figure out.

     "Earth to Iruma."

     Snapping her head back to her group, she was met with questioning stares. She faced her notes again, rubbing her eyes as she tried to remember the last words her group had said.

     All her notes were unintelligible, like usual. She had been assigned into a group with Kiibo, Maki, and Rantaro to work on a project for their history class. Nobody was exactly a fan of their history teacher, so they weren't taking it too seriously at first. But with the deadline a few days away, they had to get cracking to finish it.

     Kiibo, her best friend ever since they started at Hope's Peak, tapped her shoulder. "Are you okay, Miu?"

     "Of course I fucking am!" She snapped, immediately regretting it when she saw her friend flinch back, "Sorry..."

     Maki cleared her throat, "If we could get back to the project...?"

      Nodding her head, Miu tried to tune into the conversation. If someone were to ask her, she wouldn't be able to tell them what the assignment was about. She was pretty much failing History anyways. One project grade wouldn't fix that.

     She found her eyes wandering off towards a certain pianist again. Kaede was talking with her group of Tenko, Shuichi, and Kaito. They were also working on the history project.

     Kaito said something and then struck dramatic pose, making everyone in the group laugh (except Tenko, who just rolled her eyes and failed to force down a smile). Miu fo in and herself enraptured by Kaede's laughter. It was melodic and sweet, almost enticing.

     "Miu Iruma!"

     Her gaze returned to her group, who all looked slightly annoyed.

     "Are you done checking out Shuichi or something?" Maki questioned, obviously tired.

     Rantaro cut in, "Don't be ashamed, we all think he's attractive." The others nodded at that.

     She shook her head and sighed, "I'm not checking out Shuichi."

     Maki raised an eyebrow, "...Kaito?"

     Miu just buried her face in her hands as she shook her head again.

     Kiibo turned to look at the other group, "Then who?"

     The inventor stayed quiet, but Rantaro seemed to catch on. "It's Kaede, isn't it?"

     She peered up at her classmates, still silent. They all had a look of amusement on their faces. Sitting up, she glanced back and forth between the three, "What?"

     "Everyone owes me five bucks." Maki stated, smirking uncharacteristically.

     Rantaro sighed, pulling out his phone for a moment and showing it to Miu. It was a group chat that she wasn't apart of with everyone in their homeroom class. "Everyone noticed how distracted you've been lately, and we started a bet on what you've had on your mind."
