Love's Touch

The school day continued as normal. Katashi couldn't shake off this weird feeling.. the feeling that something, or someone was staring at him.. it was quite disturbing.

But to his little notice.. There was someone definitely looking his way.. The new girl, Yua Himura. Not once her sharp eye's linger away from him. Seeming as if she was admiring his features.. The dark flowy hair, the oceanic blue eyes.. She was admiring all of it.

Yua was about to get up to approach him until she got interrupted and surrounded by a crowd of students. They asked her many different questions like if she was single, her hair and skin routine. And her reasons for moving. It was all too overwhelming for her, but she sat through it and answered them one by one.

While Katashi and Kazuya was seated on the other side of the room, witnessing the crowd.

"Dude, the new girl is super hot! And she's getting very popular already. And she's from Okinawa just like you. Coming to think about it.. That place is loaded with hot babes! Damnit.. That swarm of horny bastards are ruining my shine!"

"In your dreams, that you'll ever have a chance with someone like that." Katashi mocked Kazuya, chuckling to himself.

"You never know, the ladies do tend to go very handsome looking men like yours truly."

"I bet they do buddy."

Katashi turned his head towards the crowd again. Accidently meeting Yua's glaze towards him. He hadn't notice that she was looking at him again. And as her face looked embarrassed, she turned away quickly.

***********

The final bell had rung, dismissing the students. Katashi was on his way to the entrance so he could change into his regular shoes. He seemed preoccupied though. Thinking about what he should make his sisters for dinner.. To focus in thought, Katashi wasn't looking ahead of him and felt a mile force hit him. He stopped for a second to snap back to reality, looking down and seeing Yua on the floor. 

"Oh crap, I'm sorry I should have looked where I was going."

Katashi reached out his hand to lend her help getting up

"No no, it's my fault I should hav-"

Caught mid sentence Yua had realized whom she had bumped into.. she had done nothing but stare at him.

"Uhm.. are you going to grab my hand?"

"Oh sorry!" Yua holds onto Katashi hand as he lifted her up and helped pick up her things

"Her hands.. they're very cold.. and soft.. how odd, I wonder why she stared at me. And.. something about her.." He thought.

The two finished cleaning up the mess after a short minute.

"I-I'm sorry again for b-bumping into you…"

Katashi could tell Yua was very nervous.. compared to this morning she looked so brave. He wanted to ask the reason behind her sly glances at him, but he decided to keep to himself for now.

"it's all good heh… come to think of it, I don't think I've introduced myself to you. Well my name is Katashi Saitou, since you're new, if you need any advice about classes or whatever just let me know!"

Instead of speaking, Yua nodded her head avoiding eye contact with him. Katashi made an awkward smile as he said his farewell and walked past Yua. But before turning the corner he took one last look at her over his shoulder and saw her still in the same spot.. she was an odd one alright.

Yua stood still staring at hand that Katashi had touch.. Admiring it closely and slowly.
