Chapter 48

''Eh? Yuuto has already gone to school 20 minutes ago?'' I asked Mrs Yamamoto.

''Yes, Miyu-chan. I don't know why but he seems a bit weird this morning. He refuses to eat his breakfast nor taking his bento.'' Mrs Yamamoto holds his bento in her hand, looking worried about her son.

''Mrs Yamamoto-san, do you mind if I help you to pass this bento to him?'' I offered.

''Ah! Thank you so much, Miyu-chan.'' She smiled as she hands me the bento. I put it in front of my bicycle basket.

Although she tries to hides her worry underneath her smile, I still can see her green eyes are filled with sadness and worry in a motherly way.

''There's no need to worry about him, Mrs Yamamoto-san. I will force him to eat even if he doesn't want to.'' I try to convince her by giving her a thumbs up.

''Then, I will leave him on your care. I think you should get going now, the sun is rinsing.'' She said with her gentle voice while looking up to the sky.

''I shall get going now. See you, Mrs Yamamoto-san.'' I wave her goodbye and started to paddle my bicycle.

''Goodbye, Miyu-chan. Be careful on the road.'' She let out a relieved smile and waves back at me.

'Just wait for me, Yuuto-kun. How dare you make your mother looks so worried about you?' I think to myself as I begin to ride my bicycle faster, heading towards the school.

'Oh gosh... I forget to take my bento with me after I have been rushing to reach the school earlier this morning....' I hit my head against my desk in disappointment.

It was still early in the morning and I have already arrived at the class. And the thing that's making me more and more awkward was me being alone with no one else in the empty classroom.

'I guess I can take a short nap while waiting for the lesson to start...'

Using my school bag as a multi-propose pillow, I make myself comfortable on my seat and I lay my head on my bag.

No matter how hard I try to calm myself down and force myself to sleep, the thought of Miyu rejecting me keeps on playing in mind. I am afraid that she will say no to me and will choose Touma instead. Although I still haven't heard her out but still...

''Ugh!'' I rub my messy hair to get away the though but her beautiful smile keeps me thinking about her.

Soon my one by one my classmates arrived and the empty classroom began to fill with all kind of noises.

Looking at my friends, they are all so cheerful and energetic. All of them try to have meaningless conversations with me but I turn them down with my fake ass smile and tell them that I was a bit tired.

I keep on facing downwards and looking at my white shoes while lost in my thought.

''Yuuto-kun, good morning. I assume that you own me an explanation from the night before.'' All of a sudden, a gentle voice that I have been waiting to hear had finally appeared.

Instantly I tilt my face upwards and I can't help but feel happy seeing her in front of me.

''Miyu-chan... Ohaiyo.'' I smiled.

''Don't you give me your princely smile and try to escape me again. You don't even let me finish my word before you hang up your call. And one more thing...'' She said with her cute angry face and went looking for something in her bag.

''Here is your bento. I heard from your mom that you haven't eaten your breakfast yet, so try to eat half of it and spare another half for your lunch.'' She hands me my bento that I forgot to bring.

''Oh.... thank you....and Miyu-chan... about the theme park—''

''I am going!'' Miyu smiled.

''Wha-?'' I am getting confused and happy at the same time. Knowing that she still choose to go out with me makes me happy for some reason. Her answer makes my messy thoughts go away like it was nothing.

''I know that you are afraid of rejections the but there's no need to hang up on me like that. You know that I will never reject you, Yuuto-kun.'' Her bright, dazzling eyes makes her so mesmerising that I can't get my eyes off her.

''And, Yuuto-kun, you should apologize to your mother since you have made her worrying about you this morning.'' She went to her seats next to me.

''My mother? She was worry about me?'' Hearing her saying that I try to recall what I do that makes her worry about me.

''I remember I do nothing wrong... I woke up and went to shower...then I use my cloth and.....I don't really have appetite this morning so I skip breakfast...I went to the school earlier than usual since I have nothing to do...'' I count my finger and try to recall all the things I do this morning.

''You forget to greet your mother and you didn't go for jogging like you always did.'' Miyu said casually.

''Oh gosh! I did forget to jog this morning.'' My eyes widen as I remember not doing the regular exercise.

''And also you have eye bag around your eyelid today. Did you sleep properly last night?'' She asked with her hazel eyes filled with worry.

'Was she worry about me?' I look at her.

I can't help but feel happy about the fact that she might be worrying about me and thinking about me.

''Why are you giving me a cute puppy look like that, weirdo?''

''Did I?'' I touch my lips while looking at her.

''Miyu-chan, good morning.''

That familiar voice makes me feel pissed off as I know who was calling her.

''Yui-san, morning.'' Miyu forces herself to smile at her.

"Tch!" Seeing her like that makes me feels irritated but I told myself not to kill her right now since there's a lot of people in this classroom.

''Miyu-chan, can you come with me later when we go changing at P.E class, please? It's been a while since we have hung out as a friend together because you are always sticking around with Yamamoto-san.'' Yui looks at her.

''There's no need for you—'' I try to deny her request but Miyu cuts in.

''Sure, I will be glad too.'' Miyu agreed.

Although she was smiling, I can see through her hazel brown eyes are darkening. It was the first time that I saw her like that.
