THUMP!

I awaken from the sound of a loud thump. I curiously get out of bed and check it out.
I walk down the steps of the stairs and peer over behind the wall, leaning on the railing.
I see my father on his knees, with his face dug into his palms. He had thrown his recliner. 
He looks up and yells,

"NATSUKI!!!"

Gulp.

I walk down the remaining steps and onto the hardwood floor. He turned to me in such urgency, I could even hear a snap noise.

"Y-yes papa?" as you could see, I'm clearly terrified.

"I...i.." he seemed to be lost in his words.
But for some reason he comes and hugs me. I instantly flinch thinking he would hit me.
But he didn't. He broke the hug.

"Have a nice day." he smiled and patted my head.
I was in shock. Why was he being so nice to me? Well, I could take advantage of this.

"You too, papa" I fake a smile and walk out. I usually just walk to school like the others. But for some reason I always end up walking to school and home with yuri. But since we've done it for a while, it's kinda grown on me.  I see yuri in the distance. She looks anxious so I walk quicker to her.

"Are you okay?" She looks at me and relief fills her face.

"I was worried for you." she smiled.

"Why?" no one was ever worried about me before so i was genuinely confused.

"Because I care for you." I could feel my heart melt.

"Why?"I asked once again. she chuckles.

"Why not?" I feel a smile form on my lips but try to hide it.

"You okay over there?" She looks at me and raises an eyebrow. A flush of red fills my cheeks.

"Im fine!!! What's it to ya?!" I cross my arms over my chest. She giggles.
I smile.

"Nothing. I just wanted to know." she smiles softly.
We both make it to the front of the school.

"You know, natsuki. It's never a dull day with you. And i don't think there ever will be"
She pats my head and walks away. I feel my cheeks flush a light pink as my gaze on her slowly fades.

"I.... i think i love her." I smile to myself and sigh dreamily.

~after school~

I skip and twirl to the clubroom, knowing yuri will be there. I hum a familiar tune and stop at the closed door.

"Okay, just be cool. Don't screw this up." I take a deep breath and walk in.
I see a sunset colored hair girl running to me at full speed. I feel a tight squeeze around my waist.

"Yay!! You're here!" she squeals. I push her off, gasping for air. Yuri rushes over to help. She's kinda known for that.

"You okay nasuki?" I look up at the violet beauty. I gaze into her dark eyes and get lost in them. They're like a deep ocean. Something you could get lost and drown in. Hey, I should write that down.

"Um, natsuki?" she snaps her fingers in front of my face. I finally snap out of my daze.

"Uh, sorry! Um, I'm fine, don't worry about me!!" I rush to sit down at my desk.
I get out a pencil and paper and start writing a poem. I hear a slam noise on my desk. It was monika's hand.
"Hey natuski, what are you writing?" she smirks.

"N-none of your damn business!" I yell. She chuckles then walks away.
I go back to writing my poem. I bite my eraser trying to think of something else to write.

"Perfect!" I say brightly. I finally finished my poem and it was time to share.
Monika is sharing with sayori which means i share with yuri. She walks over to me.

"Hey natuski." she smiles sweetly.

"Um, hey." I bite my lip, I'm clearly nervous, but I try my best not to show it.
She handed her poem out for me to grasp.I snatched it out of her hand. She flinched.
Her poem is so fancy and full of finesse. The curves of her hand writing are hypnotizing.
I love it.

"I hate it." I scowl.

"How am I not surprised?" she sighs then chuckles.
"Now, let me see yours."

My heart drops. I didn't want to show her. What if she finds out?
Okay, okay, natsuki just take a deep breath and just show her, she'll never know, right?
I finally handed her my poem.

"I'm intrigued to see it, natsuki." she smiles. like the millionth time today. And it's still cute the millionth time she did it.
This is the poem:

You

'Eyes like the ocean blue
So deep i drown
So tempting, i get so lost
Why does it remind me of you?

Blood is rose red
Bruises are blue
Beauty is violet
And that's my favorite too

My heart will fall
And i will too
But you'll always catch me
Because i'm falling for you.'

(A  poem by: yours truly.)

Her eyes widened. Her eyes never left the paper. Did she find out?!
Oh shit maybe she knows that-

"Wow natsuki."

There was a long pause.

"I don't know what to say."

Oh no, she found out didn't she?

"It's beautiful, who's it for?" she looks at me quizzically.
Phew, I thought she found out. Good thing she's so dense.
I snatch my poem out of her hand.

"None of your goddamn business!" I start stomping away as she giggles to herself.

Only if you knew. That it was for you.
