Zumi stood in between rows and rows of light-brown-painted shelves with each level occupying numerous amounts of books of different colors, arranged in different genres. Her earphones were once again placed on her ears with relaxing and slow beats playing instead of the contrasting loud rock music that she usually listened to.

In her hand was a book with a detailed picture of a Bolide, which is a large meteor that is about to burst and it was mostly colored white with red hues surrounding its rock, looking like it was about to crash land on Earth. Her eyes scanned over the small text, occasionally admiring the other pictures that contained different planets, colorful nebulae, and supernovas.

"Meet you at the shop, sun was getting hot, I'm lonely."

Her head bobbed along to the slow beat of the song, listening to the relaxing voice of Daniel Ceasar along with the simple tune. But despite it being quite simple, it was still beautiful.

Her hand reached out towards the shelf that was leveled in front of her, closing the book before placing it back to where she got it. She turned around then headed to the direction of the door that lead to the outside. As she passed by the place where students sat down to either study or just sleep since it was lunch.

Suna was about to dip his head down over his arms as he sat down on the comfortable cushions in their school's library, when he suddenly sees the familiar dark-haired girl casually passing by him, heading outside. He immediate stood up from his seat to run towards her, grabbing her wrist once he reaches Zumi.

Zumi jumped when she felt someone hold her wrist as she stood outside of the door. She immediately tugged her arms away when the pressure caused her bandaged skin to start stinging once again.

He quickly took notice of this and mumbled a silent 'sorry' before looking at her face, looking for any reason as to why she decided to ignore him after that encounter at the café.

"Why are you avoiding me?" He asked, staring at her as she uncomfortably averted her gaze to the ground.

She shifted on her feet then answered, "S-Sorry, uh- I have somewhere to be right now. B-Bye."

"Hey- wait!"

She quickly dashed forward to a sprint, letting her feet take her to wherever as long as it wasn't at least a hundred meters radius from him. Once she reached a place that she deemed far enough from Suna, she took a large breath to calm her chest that was starting to feel like it was flaming up. She let out a series of wheezy coughs, placing her hands over each of her knees as she felt the pain take over lungs.

Water.

She leaned her palm over the bench before dropping down on over it to sit down. Her chest heaved up and down rapidly at the stinging pain that she started to feel on her skin because of the sweat. She brought her hand up to lightly feel the reddish bumps that were forming on her arms, cringing at the weird feeling.

    Her brows furrowed in frustration, a frown appearing on her lips while her fingers trembled. There was this strong urge to drag her nails across each part that stung because of the sweat that secreted from her body, but she knew better than to do that or else she would have a hard time moving around any further.
