"Students! Leave your bags here!" The professor shouted.

They excitedly followed and left the bus.

"Mikaela let's go!" Kairo touched his shoulder. Surprisingly, he didn't react badly.

"Mhm." Mikaela mumbled.

Kairo forced himself to stop smiling but failed to do so.

"What?" Mikaela added, glancing at him fiercely.

"Nothing! Nothing!!" Kairo raised both of his hands, walking two steps backwards.

*Bump

"Ack!" Kairo fell down the floor.

"S-sorry!" Their fellow classmate accidentally bump into him, causing their fall.

"You alright?" Kairo asked scratching his head shyly.

💭 "Pretty" Kairo thought.

"Ah! Yes!" The girl immediately stood.

*Pat *Pat taking the dust of her pants.

Kairo also stood, but when he glanced through where Mikaela sat.

💭 "Man! He's gone!" He smiled awkwardly.

"I'm sorry Kairo!" The girl bowed.

Kairo raised both of his hands shaking his head.

"It's my fault Claire! I'm sorry..!" He looked away for a second and bowed his head.

"Hey! What are you two doing?" The professor looked through the door bus.

"Ah! Sorry teach!!" Kairo scratch his head and grabbed Claires hand.

"Let's go!" He added, walking outside holding claires hand.

💭 "He's h-holding my hand!" She covered her mouth and blushed.

The moment they went out, the students we're giggling and whispering to each other.

"Oh what did they do inside?" Another student whispered.

"I wonder!"

"Hey look!" The student from behind pointed.

💭 "So embarrassing!" Kairo thought.

"Their holding hands!" She pointed.

Kairo's eyes widened as he saw Claire's hand together with his.

"Ack!" Immediately letting go.

"I-i " He stuttered, his face turned red.

Claire didn't speak and ran towards her friends.

"B-bye Kairo!" She added, her friends we're laughing after seeing her blush.

"Wow.." Mikaela mumbled, secretly smiling.

Kairo walked towards him and slapped his back.

"Ow!" Mikaela flinched, holding his back.

"Why did you leave me there bro?!" Kairo embarrassed, shouted.

But when Mikaela was about to speak, the professor called for them.
