"hey! Weren't you with Amajiki just now?" Nejire appeared making me jump.
"huh, oh... He's gone to lunch with Kimi" I explained as Mirio joined us.
He looked at me confused "oh, he didn't invite you too?"
"no-no he did, but Kimi asked him and I didn't want to get in the way plus she kinda looked at me weird, I don't know, I'm probably imagining things" I went red but my heart started to ache a little.
"no, I didn't think you were, she was glaring at you in class" Nejire shrugged.
"what, really?" I asked as she nodded back "I think she likes him".
My heart ached even more, so it was true? Thinking about it myself was bad enough but hearing someone else say it made it a reality.
And now she was sitting with him eating lunch together, someone much more confident and prettier, I had no chance!.
"you don't have to worry" Mirio put an arm around me.
I looked up at him surprised and asked why feeling confused.
"I-I mean, we will help you, right Nejire" he nudged her quickly before we sat down at a table to eat our lunch.
"yeah! Don't let that hoe stop you" Nejire grinned.
"Nejire!" I scolded her but started to giggle.

It made me feel good that they seemed to prefer the thought of me with Amajiki rather than Kimi.
I really tried not to look at them eating together but I couldn't help my curiosity sometimes.
I felt so jealous and it made me feel pathetic, I tried to focus on Nejire and Mirio but my mind kept going back to Amajiki, I guess I really did like him.
I sighed finishing my lunch, it didn't taste as good today, I looked across at him once more to see her holding onto one of his hands.
My blood boiled and Mirio noticed how red I had gotten and saw what Kimi was doing.
"I wonder what they're talking about" he sighed a little
"w-what if she's asking him out?" I asked feeling embarrassed.
Nejire giggled "she's only spoken to him once before now, I really doubt it".
Oh, that's strange, I don't think amajiki would be that sort of person to go out with someone without getting to know them properly first.

We stood up and started to go back to class, I felt really crappy now.
I sat back down and Nejire whispered in my ear "he looked at you when we were leaving the cafeteria" she winked.
"you mean all of us" I sighed putting my head down on my desk.
I didn't want to feel all of this after only a few weeks of being here, it felt so stupid, he wouldn't like me anyway so I shouldn't be feeling this way.
I sighed until somebody tapped my shoulder "do you feel ill?" they asked.
I lifted my head up, id have to lie no matter who it was.
I looked up to see Amajiki standing over me with Kimi next to him.
"n-no I'm just a little tired" I looked away blushing.
"yeah you should sleep more, you have bags under your eyes, you need to stay healthy" Kimi smiled tapping my back before slipping off to her table.
I furrowed my brows, i wasn't really tired, did i really have bags under my eyes?.
That kinda hurt, I put my face back down feeling rage fill me.
"h-hey, I don't think you look tired, I don't think she realised that she sounded bad saying that" Amajiki spoke.
I lifted my head back up, she definitely knew!.
"thanks, I just feel a little off today" I admitted, my ears drooping low.
He didn't seem to know what to do and looked away awkwardly.
Suddenly I felt his hands wrap around me softly making me breathe in sharply.
I felt so surprised that he was hugging me, I breathed in relaxing a little, he smelt so pleasant, kinda musky yet sweet.
Mirio and Nejire stared at me in shock that Amajiki had done something so out there for him.
I sneaked a look at Kimi, I felt petty doing so but she was pursing her lips at me starting to clench her jaw.
I snuggled into his neck breathing in his scent, this felt so relaxing but at the same time my heart was freaking out.
We pulled away and he was a little red in the face, seeing his reaction made me blush too "t-thank you, I needed that, sorry if I made you feel awkward by doing it" I looked down.
He shook his head "I-I'm trying to be more confident, it's a little easier around you because you know what it's like... Plus I do like hugs I just don't like to admit it and have everyone stare at me like now" he blushed, swapping with me by putting his head on his desk now.
His ears were red as they stuck out from his hair.
I looked around, no one was looking except Nejire and Mirio who were pulling faces at me.
I tried not to laugh by shaking my head and rolling my eyes at them.
"I-I'm glad you feel OK enough to trust me that much" I smiled softly feeling my heart warm up.

After class we all went to our dorms to chill out for the rest of the night, I laid on my bed and sighed, it was the weekend tomorrow I wondered what everyone would do?
I got into my pink frilly pj shorts and black tank top as my phone buzzed, it was Nejire texting me.
I wondered what she wanted to talk about at 10:00 at night?

Nejire: hey! How come you're not here? x
Me: huh? x
Nejire: most of the class are in the lounge playing games x
Me: oh I didn't know? x
Nejire: hmm, that figures, Kimi organised it 😒 x
Me: maybe I shouldn't come then x
Nejire: amajiki is here 😉 x
Me: huh? That doesn't seem like his sort of thing? x
Nejire: he was probably forced, you know he doesn't like to let people down, he looks awkward x
Me: OK, I'll come down then, if I'm allowed? x
Nejire: of course you are, stay there and I'll meet you to walk together x
Me: oh, thank you Nejire 😊 x

Maybe I should change my clothes? My shorts were a little too short and my tank top was a little low cut.
I opened my drawers to see all my long jogging bottoms and pj bottoms were gone as they were in my washing basket.
I sighed and found an oversized cardigan to cover my top half at least.
My door knocked lightly and I rushed to it opening it quickly to be surprised to see who was there.
