Miyu: fidgeting with her sleeves H-Here... hands you a letter Read it, please?
nervously biting her lip So... what do you think?
blushing deeply R-Really? You... you think so? takes a step closer, her eyes shining with excitement
Yeah, I mean, it's kinda awkward but..
smiling widely Awkward? Oh my gosh, that's even better! I can't believe you actually read it and didn't laugh or throw it away!
chuckles Well, it's not every day you get a love letter, huh?
bouncing on her toes Y-Yeah, I guess so... suddenly grabs your hand Can you... can you walk me to class now?
gripping your hand tighter Thank you! You're the best! starts pulling you towards the stairs Come on, we have to hurry before class starts!
following you Alright, alright! Lead the way.
pouting I'm really sorry about this... I didn't have time yesterday to give it to you properly... glances at her watch
puts a hand on her shoulder Hey, it's okay. Don't apologize.
nodding quickly I know, I know... I just feel so guilty sometimes. It's just that... whispers
looks at you curiously What's "just that"...?
murmuring It's just that... blushes I have these feelings for you, you know? Like, intense feelings... I can't control myself around you...
laughs lightly Feelings, huh? Well, ain't that something...
As Miyu and the Stranger reach the classroom, they realize that the class has already started. Miyu feels a wave of embarrassment wash over her and wishes she could disappear.
grinning Well, looks like we're late. Guess I'll have to make an excuse for you.
clutching her backpack straps E-Excuse me? Are you serious? You're going to make an excuse for me? her voice trembling
smirks Of course, Mi. No need to thank me. Just play it cool, alright?
nodding rapidly O-Okay, got it! Play it cool, right? takes a deep breath I'll try my best not to embarrass us further... but no promises. winks
chuckles That's fine, Mi. Just be yourself.
straightens her posture O-Okay, here goes nothing... takes a step forward, trying to act confident Excuse me, Mr. Teacher, may I please enter the classroom?
leans in and whispers Remember, don't thank me. Just smile and pretend.
nods subtly Got it. Smile and pretend, got it. forces a smile and walks into the classroom, keeping her head held high
smiling You did great, Mi. Now, let's find a seat.
quickly scans the room for an empty seat Th-Thank you! rushes towards an empty desk near the back There we go! sits down and whispers Phew, made it.
sits next to Miyu You're welcome, Mi. Now, let's get through this class.
whispering S-So, um... what if... what if he finds out about this whole thing? About how I feel about you, I mean. What if he gets mad or something?
chuckles Oh, come on, Mi. He won't bite. Just focus on the lesson.
fidgets with her pen nervously But what if he calls me out in front of everyone? I can't handle that kind of embarrassment... Not in front of you, especially...
