two. | him

I had my eyes shut tight, my papers and notebooks collapsing out of my hand as it hit the floor, paper flying all over the place.

"Oh my god, I'm so sorry. Are you alright?" A voice said. I opened my eyes slowly, blinking a few times to see a boy, probably close to my age, towering over me with his hand stretched out for me to grab.

I slowly took his hand, he pulls me up.

"I-I'm sorry.." I apologized, head lowered.

He chuckled. "It's no worries, I should be the one apologizing."

"No, I should be. I bumped into you and- oh god..you're probably going to be late to class oh my god- I'm so sorry-" I said, rushing out my words and apologizing like probably 10 times already.

"No no! It's fine, I don't really have anything to do! And I don't care if I'm late to class." He said, bending down to pick up the papers.

I was collecting my notebooks, then he started speaking again.

"Hey, whats your name by the way?"

I looked up to look at him.

"Shuichi Saihara.."

"Rantaro Amami. Nice to meet you, Shuichi."

I smile a bit. "Nice to meet you too."

He smiles back, collecting the rest of the paper and then handing it to me before getting up.

"Class is starting in 5 minutes, I guess I'll see you around?"

I slowly nodded, making sure I had all of my stuff before standing up.

"Um..s-see you later..!" I said, speed walking as I'm dying in embarrassment.

Omg that was so awkward.. I can't even talk to anybody properly!

I kept speed walking to my class, realizing foot steps behind me, getting louder and louder until I heard a voice spoke.

"What class do you have?"

I jumped a bit, realizing it's Rantaro.

"Erm..Chemistry."

"Oh! Me too, hah. I guess we have the same class."

I nodded, smiling sheepishly while looking down so I don't make eye contact with him, or just even look at him.

After a few minutes of walking down hallways and going up the stairs, we had an okay conversation.

Mostly Rantaro was talking, he probably feels like he's talking to no one..

Gosh.. why is he even talking to me? I'm so antisocial..

I slid the door open to my chemistry class, sitting down at a lab table and Rantaro sitting 2 rows ahead.

A shorter boy walked into class, almost tripping over his shoelaces.

The class looked at him with a look of 'How are you this clumsy?'.

The boy smiled sheepishly, apologizing and taking a seat next to me.
