He reads the text again

but slowly

Hansuke, this is Ami.
Are you feeling well? ^^

The use of emoticons
made the text feel like it
really did come from her

How did she get my number?

Maybe the teacher gave it
to her

He stayed on that track for a while
until he remembered that he
still hadn't given her a reply

He looks at the message again

And begins tapping on the keyboard
to write a reply to her

Hiraoka-san,
I'm doing okay.
The nurse sent me
home already.

And he hits reply

He anticipates for a quick answer

Oh wait, she's in class right now—

He feels his phone vibrate
and his eyes dilate

He looks at the message

it's her

He reads it

That's great! I'm
thinking of visiting you
later on with Tooru and
Micchan if they agree. Do
you want something? :3

He lets out a soft chuckle
and replies

That's okay with me.
I don't really need anything.

Ding!

Nonesense!
I'll get you some nikuman!

She's thoughtful
Why is she like this to me?

Heat rises up to his cheeks—
