The witch of music (Uta no prince sama)

20: Halloween confusion

   Yet another boring weekend past in a grey blur, it passed of Serenade working all day and then coming back and working on music or dance and at times running into Yuuto or Touma and talking with them for a second before she had to go back to heading to her room or work, it was the things she did ever week end and all thought it seems boring and tedious she didn't mind since she was use to the schedule. She's been doing all of this from the beginning of the year all except the two overly friendly boys were her comfort zone, she enjoyed knowing what happened next not being afraid of it changing the next day or a unknown variable, even the bullying happens like clock work so she knows to expect and how to prepare and she likes it that way, And yet the two unknown variables. The ones that she count for, she doesn't know where they will be what they will say or what they will do and even though the inconsistencies should bother her they don't  it oddly made her feel  more comfortable and sane then any schedule could. 

Lately it felt like they were hiding something from her, As of recently yuuto has been avoiding eye contact with her and Touma keeps glaring at Yuuto as if he did something unspeakable and it's been really confusing and oddly it started after the day they showed her the contest. She was so confused to why they were acting so strangely but she didn't know how to confront it and make it stop. 

As the thoughts of ways to help with the situation swirled in her head in a overwhelming amount she walked to her class that was straight after lunch. As she was walking to class two hands engulf hers the bodies quickly falling in step with her.

"Say why do you always sneak away at lunch?? We can never find you it is like you always vanish no matter how hard we try to keep up with you" Touma said softly as they walked making her look up at him.

"Oh um....I just go back to a music room to practice and write no big deal" Serenade said without missing a beat. 

"Falsehood!!! We check there you aren't there" Yuuto exclaims but as Serenade moves to look at him he quickly looks away with a bright blush. 

"As he was saying we looked we can't find you after we lose you" Touma said to gain her attention away from Yuuto.

"Well it's not my fault you two get swarmed with people every lunch asking if you want to eat with them" Serenade laughs and rolls her eyes at how popular they were, it made her wander why they wanted to be so clingy with her when they don't usually let many other people close. 

"It's not our fault either! We always say no and yet they always keep asking, you'd think they would of given up by now it's been months since school started" Touma said as he rubs his forehead with his free hand clearly annoyed with so many people coming up to him. 

"oh my god! The horror of having people wanting to be nice to you! They are monsters!" Serenade exclaims mockingly before laughing making Touma blush softly and look away.

"You don't get it they are persistent and don't take no for a answer. Do you know we once got followed by three girls who kept 'bumping' into us on 'accident' just to give us presents and ask us out?! It was horrible" Touma mumbled annoyed causing Serenade to burst out laughing at his remarks.

"Oh poor you! had girls fawning over you! How do you handle it?!" Serenade said with fake sympathy looking at him with a sad mocking pout. 

"By giving them the gifts back and walking away" touma mumbles with a shrug looking away to hide his embarrassment. 

"well he walked away I had to stay behind to comfort the girls every time always ending up having to have lunch with them so they don't cry" Yuuto mumbles sounding a bit bitter about the topic.
