CAUGHT

"good morning granny "

I greeted her as I sat on the dining.

"good morning sweetie"

she greeted and placed my plate .

"slept well?"

she asked as I nodded .

"your mom and dad are coming here tomorrow "

she said as my lips immediately curved into a smile .

" is Itsume coming too ? "

I asked eagerly .

"I don't know , I think she will also come "

she have a mischievous smile as I smiled widely .

---

"so your test results are here "

my homeroom teacher announced as I became nervous all of a sudden.

"so , the first mark , that is , the person who scored full marks is Hiromi Yoshimasa "

the whole class clapped as I smiled widely and clapped along with them . I was proud at the same time happy for her . her efforts weren't wasted .

" the second ranker is Azumaya Kiyoshi "

I smiled a little as I got up and bowed .

I saw her , she was smiling while seeing me .

my cheeks tinted peach as my ears were red . I sat down immediately and looked down . I turned to my side and saw Ritsuko giving me a weird look . I immediately sat straight trying to Focus on what the teacher was telling.

I went to the library and searched for the book which I was reading before . as I was searching I saw a figure laying in my usual spot . I went and bent down as I was dumb. it was Hiromi , but what was she doing here ? I sat beside her slowly admiring her as this is the first time I'm having a clear look at her face .

I hesitantly brought my hands to her face . my hands were cold and trembling dur to nervousness . I slowed brushed my fingertips over her milk smooth skin as I removed the strands of baby hairs covering her face . her eyelashes rested against her cheeks as her lips were a little parted.

"what are you doing "

the sudden voice made me jump with fear as I turned and saw Ritsuko . shit why is she hella scary?!

"no-nothing "

I said and immediately got up and ran to my class.

I was seeing Hiromi's photos as I heard someone calling my name , I looked up to see Tanjiro , one of my classmate.

"ms.Reriko is calling you "

he said as I nodded and headed to meet her .

I was walking home while kicking an empty can . suddenly I felt a pull on my collar dragging me to an empty alley. I panicked but controlled myself not to slip into little space. my mind was blank I couldn't react nor shout for help . I felt the grip loosen as I turned and saw

RITSUKO AYUMI!!!!

why the fluff would she drag me into somewhere like this .

"are you a stalker!?"

she asked as her hands were still on my coller.

"st-stalker !! no!! I am not you misunderstood me !!! "

I reply as my voice was kinda frightened.

"don't lie !! I saw everything "

she said in a dangerously low voice which made my legs go jelly .

"what you know?"

my voice came as tiny .

FLASHBACK

"fuck! fuck !fuck! , where the hell did I keep my earpieces "

Ritsuko was cussing messing her table as she turned her bag upside down as all her stuffs fell making the table extra messy . she accidentally pushed kiyo's stuff as everything fell down .

"aah why must my day be so fucking bad !" she cursed again and tried to grab the things and that's when she found out .

" what the hell!" she cursed loud .

"why the fuck does he have so many pictures of Hiromi!?"

"I even saw him watching her in the library "

"is he a stalker!"

she was lost in thoughts as she shrugged and thought about asking him later as she cleaned the table .

END OF FLASHBACK

"tell me now!"

Ritsuko grabbed his coller tightly giving him a death glare .

"act-actually I have a cr-crush on Hiromi , she is my childhood crush and my present crush too "

I told slowly as my eyes started the gather tears as I looked down not wanting to meet her gaze .

I expected a yell or a slap or something but instead I felt the grip loosen .

"you love her ?"

she asked but her voice was different , it was soft and calming .

I nodded as she left my coller and walked away .

what can I expect ? now she is gonna tell Hiromi and everything is gonna become bad again . I knelt down as I covered myself with my palms sobbing .

I knew I would skip into little space anytime soon so I immediately ran to my home and found my grannie wasn't there . I straight away laid on my bed and covered myself tight . I can feel my eyes getting heavy .

she is gonna hate me ! why the hell did I leave my things on the table , you are such a fool Kiyoshi !I mentally slapped myself as I heard the main door open , I didn't wanna face her , not in this condition so I pulled the duvet fully covering me as I pretended to sleep.
