Where is he?

Sasha took the shortest route to his place. She risked running through someone's lawn to beat him. He can't have already gone inside, not yet.

Hopeful, she backtracked toward the school, only this time she took the route he would have taken. After a block she had doubts.

I guess I can talk to him tomorrow...

She walked another block and gazed out into a small park, with a few slides and benches-

A boy sat hunched over one of the benches.

Wait, that’s him! A smile spread across her face.

Yatsu stared at the ground, kicking the dirt. Is he feeling sorry for himself? Was he serious about liking me?

Sasha recalled Eva’s first time confessing to the first boy she liked a few months ago. The boy turned her down and she cried for a week. Sick of it, Sasha told her that she’d break the boy's neck if she continued moping about him.

That got her to smile at least. Eva didn't take Sasha seriously. She did made Sasha promise to not hurt the boy and in turn Eva would become her normal self.

Yatsu’s not like that? Is he?

Sasha made little effort to sneak up on him. She quietly sat down on the other end of the bench he occupied. Still unnoticed, she hesitated to speak.

What should I say?

Well I can’t think into this too hard, I have to be quick. Just say something!

"Yatsu~" Sasha purred. The unfamiliar sound sent a wave of heat into her face.

What the hell am I doing? That was nothing like me!

Yatsu glanced over at her from his hunched position, and shot straight up when his eyes met hers.

Sasha moved closer. I want to touch him, but I need to talk to him. Sasha eyed his lips.

What would happen if I kissed him? Could that feeling get any stronger? She wanted to try it, she wanted that feeling to get much stronger. She shuffled closer, and closer, until she was nearly there, she leaned in but he pulled away.

"W-what are you doing?" He asked harshly, more out of reflex though. She knew Yatsu didn’t mean it in a bad way.

"I was going to make up for what I said to you earlier," she said, her face heating up. I...I almost kissed him! "I wanted to apologize... It's just... I was so..."

"Y-you’re forgiven," he said.

He was confused. She did tell him off earlier, but she never told him 'no'.

"You’re an idiot-" she repeated softly. "-and a moron and stupid, but I never said I didn't like you," Sasha breathed. "I w-want you to be my idiot b-boyfriend if that's okay with you."

Her face melted, and her heart fluttered. Yatsu remained silent.

Sasha let him think, but his shoulder looked a bit lonely. Her previous boyfriend liked to cuddle, it was odd at first, but she found herself leaning into that guy more and more often. Mostly to rid him of the bored look, then it became something like a habit. However, with Yatsu she hesitated.

Should I? I want that feeling...

Well, I have to get used to it somehow…

Sasha rested her head against his arm and welcomed the pleasure that came.

When he looked at her again, her heart jumped inside her chest.

What is wrong with me? "I'm sorry I was ever mean to you. I...I just waited so long for you to say something," I must like him. I’ve never felt like this before.

His heart raced in his chest as she leaned against him more.

"You waited for me to say something?" He asked. "Why me?"

Sasha smiled, her entire body fuzzy in the endless pleasure for the first time, but touching him this long made her lightheaded. "It's a secret." She forced herself to let him go. "I should leave so we can both get some rest. I've had enough excitement for one day."

She stood up and stepped toward the school, but spun around once more, giving him her brightest smile. "See you tomorrow!" She waved a goodbye.

"Ya..."

Fuzzy all over, she walked home.

What should we do? What can we do? He’d walk me home, wouldn’t he? No, I can’t make him do that! It’s too far out of the way! I should pick him up, that way we can walk arm in arm all the way to school.

I can make lunches again!
